Added installation steps for android 9 - #187

This worked for me! Please merge! |
Would it be possible if you posted a detailed step by step of how did you made it work? did you have to build any apk from source? I would like to try it on Android 10 (LineageOS 17.1) |
|
this app doesn't have to be in priv-app or platform signature so allowing this perms isn't needed at all |
|
@erfanoabdi can you please elaborate this a bit more. To my understanding, it has to be in priv-app, otherwise the app is unable to register it self as a system-wide location provider.. |
|
yeah, just placed it on /system/app/ and everything works fine (all checks passed) |
|

| 1. Make sure no gapps are installed | ||
| 2. Download `NetworkLocation.apk` | ||
| 3. Boot into recovery and copy the apk to `/system/priv-app/` using the adb-command `adb push NetworkLocation.apk /system/priv-app/UnifiedNLP/NetwortkLocation.apk` (also make sure you mount the `/system` partition in advance) |

I'm not sure if it really matters for the functionality, but it'd be nice to update NetwortkLocation.apk to be spelled correctly
Otherwise, it'd be great to see this merged - if this was already in the README a few months ago I wouldn't have had to embarrass myself a few times by not having working GPS on my phone 😅

Well, at least in my case, the app didn't registered itself as system-wide location provider (Android 9, LineageOS) when installed as a "normal" app.
but it'd be nice to update NetwortkLocation.apk to be spelled correctly.
Done, thanks 👍
Otherwise, it'd be great to see this merged
Actually I don't know what @mar-v-in 's plan is here - there seems to be active development though...
