UnifiedNlp VS RemoteDroidGuard

Hello, I'm trying to add microG to my OS by following the microG wiki (very well written!) However, I'm not able to add the additional patch(https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp/blob/master/patches/android_frameworks_base-N.patch) to make location work (mentioned here - https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Installation)

https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp - acts as a middle ware for multiple backends which have network location features.

MicroG has a list of NLP modules. Afaik it doesn't harm having several installed and working concurrently. The list here: https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp

Get UnifiedNLP - essentially does Locations services but not google

Another option would be to use an other location provider than google, like unifiedNLP.

I assume you are talking about microG. I have no personal experience with this because I've always just installed Gapps, but I wasn't under the impression UnifiedNLP or similar required microG. The installation instructions for UnifiedNLP just talk about downloading a couple APKs, and maybe installing as system apps (https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp/blob/HEAD/README.md). I do see that the app itself is made by the microG project, but it does make the claim (in several places I've found while searching) that "most" ROMs support it. What am I missing?

Here's a link to more location backends, you can rule out 4 or 5 since some are old and others are for China.

Is there any google proprietary binary included with MicorG? And what permission do they have? I remember seeing an old post mentioning MicroG bundles DroidGuard and "Push Notification Services" (Sorry, I cannot find the original post anymore). I noticed that https://github.com/microg/RemoteDroidGuard is archived, and I cannot find any source on MicroG containing the "Push Notification Services" binary.

latest version should pass safetynet according to https://github.com/microg/RemoteDroidGuard/issues/24, which fixed Safetynet a month ago. Are you still using droidguard? That might be an issue. Not running microG anymore, so I can't verify

Have a read through this MicroG GitHub thread. If an answer exists to what you're trying to achieve it will probably be in there somewhere. As you can see from the thread SafetyNet is currently broken on MicroG. But some people still seem to manage it with some apps. Sometimes if you install and run the app for the first time without MicroG installed SafetyNet will pass successfully and the app will hopefully not bother to check again. Other times if you install the app without MicroG, then take a backup with e.g. Titanium, when you restore the backup it may still work with MicroG. A few people also seem to have managed it by some other hack, e.g. an Xposed module, whether that would still work I don't know.

You can keep an eye out here, Micro G will hopefully fix Safety Net at some point: https://github.com/microg/RemoteDroidGuard/issues/24
