(But that is not the content of your quote, isn’t it? Anyhow…)
For the record - and the answer for my own question above:
- I have a smoothly working LineageOS14@FP2 (following these instructions using TWRP coming from FPOS 1.12/Android 5)
- I did NOT install any Open GApps Packages (not Pico, not Mini, not Nano Package, just nothing!)
- I installed the bare Google Maps APK (com.google.android.apps.maps-964100133.apk), which I downloaded with Raccoon via PC from PlayStore and a FakeAccount, but I guess any GoolgeMapsAPK would work)
- Result: I have a working Google Maps Application (without PlayStore or any google service installed, without the need of any GoogleAccount@FP2). GPS-location is displayed, maps, routing and current traffic is shown.
That’s all I wanted and I am happy that it is working without problems.
About my overall experience going from FPOS/Android5 → LineageOS14/Android7 on FP2 I will report back here in a while.
