Newly introduced proprietary blob "QC Location" breaks any other location providers
Expected Behavior
UnifiedNlp could be run as a Network Provider and a Fused Location Provider.
Current Behavior
UnifiedNlp does not work.
Possible Reason
In newly introduced configurations, specifically those in overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml
, the default settings for config_enableNetworkLocationOverlay
and config_enableFusedLocationOverlay
are false
, with the settings config_networkLocationProviderPackageName
, config_fusedLocationProviderPackageName
and config_comboNetworkLocationProvider
being com.qualcomm.location
, which forces com.qualcomm.location
to be the only package allowed to provide network/fused location, therefore effectively breaks UnifiedNlp.
Possible Solution
Set config_enableNetworkLocationOverlay
and config_enableFusedLocationOverlay
to be true
. Or better, revert these commits, as QC Location is proprietary and closed-source, blatantly against LineageOS being free and open-source.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install UnifiedNlp and Mozilla Nlp Backend
- Try to obtain the geolocation in the battery saving mode (instead of device, "GPS").
- Failed
/device polaris /version lineage-16.0 /date 2019-10-05 /kernel 4.9.194-perf-gcfa3703e8c70 /baseband /mods
The introduced codes also affect beryllium. Here is a post at microG.
