Location/GPS - LineageOS 15.1 - Root - No Gapps, no MicroG and no Xposed

Hello,
I am in the process of degoogling myself, unfortunately this process seems very painful as I can't get location to work. I run LineageOS without gapps and I don't want to run MicroG, Xposed or deodex the ROM.
I cannot get UnifiedNlp to bind to the system, therfore OSMand or any other Google Maps alternative is useless and it's driving me crazy. It's literally the only thing I need to work.
Thanks.
Phone: Sasmung S9
ROM: LineageOS 15.1-20180911-NIGHTLY-starlte
Edit: GPS (only phone) as a whole seems to not work on the S9 in Oreo

no network location on Google pixel XL

Hi,
I have recently purchased a used Googler pixel XL and flashed Lineage OS 16 (nightly 2020-01-02) from the official downloads.
So far I really like it, except that I have an issue with my GPS location. It started, when I wanted to use Waze for navigation. The position on the map was not accurate enough to follow the street. After a few research I tried to modify the GPS.conf in /vendor/etc but couldn't due to missing permissions (even though I have root with magisk and total commander tried to remount the system partition with rw).
I tried the magisk module "Global Optimized GPS File Replacer",but no luck.
I can get a gps-only fix, but that needs around 2-5 min and afterwards the accuracy is so bad, that it renders any navigation app useless.
When I try to set the GPS-Setting in the notification area to "high accuracy" it is not saved. As soon as I close the notification drawer it is set back to "Device only". Maybe my device is missing some package that I have should flashed?
Of course I updated to the latest nightly.
I flashed the following packages / ROMs:
- lineage OS 16.0 (nightly 2020-01-23)
- TWRP 3.2
- open GApps micro 9.0 for arm64
- magisk 20.3 with Magisk Manager 7.5
- magisk module Global Optimized GPS File Replacer
I'm kind of out of ideas. Does anybody have another idea that might help?
Thanks,
Michael

Thanks for the links.
One think I don't understand is: does lineage os 16 support network based location services in general?
- if yes why is it not working on my phone?
- if no, do u have to install a framework like Unifiednlp?

I don't know the answers to your questions. My suggestion would be to post the questions on the lineage 16 thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...-lineage-16-0-pixels-sailfish-marlin-t3830083

I found the solution for at least the high accuracy settings. I had to enable Google location services afterwards I could enable high accuracy.
But still the accuracy is not great. I will make some tests.

Why can't I log into Strava?

I have been running Lineage Is 17.1 with MicroG for a week and its amazing
I don't have GAPPS, but strava needs Google maps, so I have installed that...
The App starts up on the log in page, and after I enter my details it just loops never logging in ?
I have given the app every permission available.
Any advice appreciated

Hi, exact same problem for me. It would be great to read some solutions.

I am experiencing this as well. Hope we can find a fix for this.

Things I've tried...
Downloaded multiple older versions of both google maps and strava, I get to the point where I get a message saying to update microg, which I attempt and get an error saying 'conflicting packages'...
I've bit the bullet and logged in an old google account and still nothing...
It's as if the app hangs at the recaptcha stage of the log in process...

I got it working now.
My Device is a Galaxy S10 (beyond1lte) with Lineageos 18.1 for microg installed.
On microg I enabled "Cloud Messaging" for Strava.
That's it!
(..no Google Maps, nothing)

Good news...
Do you have signature spoofing enabled? I haven't worked that out on lineage 18.1...
I still use 17.1 with signature spoofing and this still doesn't work with cloud messaging

The following link helped me. https://plexus.techlore.tech/applications/strava/
So I activated SafetyNet in the microg settings and although the certification fails, "Test ReCAPTCHA" works and so does the login to Strava.
ROM is freshly installed https://download.lineage.microg.org/sunfish/lineage-18.1-20220321-microG-sunfish.zip
Hope it helps.

Gps problem with Samsung galaxy A5 (Lineage Os 18.1)

Hi guys,
I recently installed Lineage Os 18.1. today I tested some navigators for the car, Google Maps and Waze. Waze once set the road route remains blocked at the beginning (it doesn't work in fact). Google Maps, on the other hand, starts regularly but goes crazy on the way: the marker goes off the road and maps continually reassigns the route. I think it is a GPS problem, but you tell me. The Gapps installed are the Open Nano ...

Hey Felicita M., did you figure this problem out?
I believe I got the very same issue - in general both Maps and Waze show correct location, but they go crazy or get stuck once start navigating.

hi. You should change gapps, and I reccomend to clean flash lineage. Also, consider to move to a more updated rom

Hey, thanks a lot for the answer!
By "change GApps" you mean: switch to MindTheGapps from OpenGApps? Or choose a higher OpenGApps variant?
I went against LineageOS recommendations (https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps) and installed OpenGApps pico (open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20220215.zip to be exact) instead of MindTheGapp, though I don't remember why. I guess that's what causing problems.

maybe problems came from that, recommendations should be taken seriously!
Anyway, consider moving to Lineage 19.1 and join official A50 groups in Telegram for more support

Lineage 19.1 + MindTheGapps 12.1: Google Cloud Messaging not working

Hello,
i have freshly installed Lineage Os 19.1 (on Poco F3) and the most recent MindTheGapps package. Everything works fine so far, except it is not possible to register to push notifications (google cloud messaging). This drains my battery really fast and some apps do not work at all.
Are there any additional steps that i have to do, do make this work. Should this work out of the box? How can I check what application must be installed or what service must run?
I know there is a microg way for this, but this is sadly no option for me.
Thanks in advance,
Danny

where did you find the link for mindthegapps 12.1?
