Quick answer
Location provider middleware (UnifiedNlp)
F-Droid repository metadata
Most modern ROMs come with support for non-Google geolocation providers. On
these systems UnifiedNlp can be installed as a user app to replace the network
location provider. It acts as a middleware for various plugins aka backends, it
does not provide any location lookup itself. For further information please
refer to the https://f-droid.org/packages/com.google.android.gms package and the
README.
To be able to use this package, you will either need the
XposedUnifiedNlp
module, or your custom ROM must have org.microg.nlp added to the list of
network location services, otherwise https://f-droid.org/packages/com.google.android.gms would be more
suitable for you (provided that you do not have GAPPS installed on your system).
After installing you have to reboot your device, install a backend service and
activate/configure it in the app settings. After this you can use UnifiedNlp by
activating network-based geolocation from Settings -> Location: You need to
select any mode but "device only".
How to install
- Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
- Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
- Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
- If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
