Installation Guide FP1: Since 22.03.15 the Legacy Build is available on F-Droid and can simply be installed on the Fairphone 1(U), without the need to make it a system app. You just need to also download one or more backends (ideally one for wifi and one for cellular), enable network location in set…

Usually it shouldn’t take long to get a GPS fix, except if you use it the fist time in a long time or you changed country. In the #gpsguide there are some tips to get a fix faster (just ignore everything about A-GPS and EPO. That’s just for FP1).

[image] Zanna: Using WhereAmI, I get no location at all in device only mode, but it finds me instantly in high accuracy mode WhereAmI is an app which needs Wifi for it’s work, not for location, so to work properly it makes you enable Wifi this way.

[image] paulakreuzer: And the AppleWifi Backend - I believe - sends infos to Apple, so it’s not much better than using Google Location Services, or am I wrong? The Apple Backend is also the only one that works for me. Its still better than using google location services IMO because: The lo…

Actually after that post you quoted from january I asked that question on microgs Github and was assured that the backend doesn’t send any relevant data to Apple. For me the Mozilla backend seems to work best, but that may be partly because I “stumbled” a lot in my area. ( #locationdatabases )

The mozilla backend works for me aswell, although not as precise as the apple one. But i dont like mozilla stumber and dont want to contribute to it because the wifi database isnt open to the public. So its basically the same as Apple, only that mozilla somehow implies to be “open”, which unlike for…

I found out that in #kitkat Macadamia you will have to use the UnifiedNlp (GAPPS) package (I directly downloaded the release on Github). Then I installed the respective Xposed module to make UnifiedNlp work. The (No GAPPS) variant didn’t work for me (“System supports location provider” was not che…

Using microG version 0.2.4-108-g464d45d, which integrates UnifiedNLP, with Xposed module XposedGmsCore-UnifiedNLP, which easily integrates microG UnifiedNLP into the system. With this setup I got good results with MozillaNlpBackend and with LocalGsmNlpBackend, but couldn’t get correct localization w…

Hello Dr_Cool, I try to use the UnifiedNlps the same way. My question is, how does the DejaVu Location Service work? Need the GPS and WIFI search turned on to gather data? Is it then recommended to walk around with active location? Will Deja Vu benefit from the LocalGsmNlpBackend? Thanks for c…

When you use an app that triggers localization with GPS on and there’s a successful position lock the backend will record GMS info and also Wi-Fi info if it’s turned on. It’s done on the background, you have no control or notification of what it does, but afterwards it will show a more precise non-G…

The four screenshots below taken in sequence from SatStat show Déjà Vu at work: Picture 1 shows localization with GMS only (LocalGsmNlpBackend) before Déjà Vu. Picture 2 shows localization after turning GPS on. Picture 3 shows localization after Déjà Vu records only GMS info (Wi-Fi always off, GP…
