How to implement? #5

Closed Mosrite closed 10 years ago

Mosrite commented 10 years ago

Hello,

I downloaded your location provider with F-Droid and installed it. However, my phone cannot find its location. How do I implement your the GSMLocationProvider so that my phone uses it to find its location?

Thanks for your help!

The location provider is just a plug-in for UnifiedNlp (https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_UnifiedNlp).

The setup instructions are at the above address. You will need a rooted device to install UnifiedNlp.

@Mosrite sorry I missed that question while I was on vaction. @mvglasow summarizes it quite well: you'll need the UnifiedNlp.

You may not combine unifiednlp with the google services. This location provider is UI-less, meaning you can only interact with it through UnifiedNlp.

OK, thanks for your answers. So, I downloaded the NetworkLocation.apk and put it into /system/priv-app/, afterwards I rebooted. Then I downloaded and installed the Apple and GSM plugins form F-Droid and rebooted again. But the NLP backend is not listed among settings->apps. Furthermore, my phone still uses Google's location service. How do I change this and make it work?

rtreffer commented 10 years ago

Well, this replaces the google backend, which means you should not run them at the same time afaik...

You might be better off asking these questions at the UnifiedNLP project...
