UnifiedNlp (no GAPPS) (legacy)

Location provider middleware (UnifiedNlp)
This package is for AOSP from 2.3 to 4.3.1, if you use a ROM based on AOSP 4.4
and later, see com.google.android.gms. If you have GAPPS installed,
independently from the AOSP version, see org.microg.nlp.

Some ROMs, like FirePhoneOS 1.8 (AOSP 4.2), come with support for Google
geolocation provider as user app. On these systems Legacy build of UnifiedNlp
can be installed to use as the network location provider, like Google’s one. It
acts as a middleware for various plugins aka backends, it does not provide any
location lookup itself. For further information please refer to the
com.google.android.gms package and the
README.

After installing you have to reboot your device, install a backend service and
activate/configure it in the app settings. After this you can use UnifiedNlp by
activating network-based geolocation from Settings -> Personal -> Location
access: You need to enable "Access to my location" and "Wi-Fi & mobile network
location".
