Summary:Location provider middleware (UnifiedNlp)
Description:
Most modern ROMs come with support for non-Google geolocation providers.
On these systems UnifiedNlp can be installed as a user app to replace
the network location provider. It acts as a middleware for various plugins
aka backends, it does not provide any location lookup itself.
List of backends for geolocation:
* [[org.microg.nlp.backend.apple]] uses Apple's Wifi database.
* [[org.microg.nlp.backend.openwlanmap]] uses OpenWlanMap.org
* [[org.gfd.gsmlocation]] uses OpenCellId (local)
* [[org.fitchfamily.android.gsmlocation]] uses GSM Celll data (local)
* [[org.fitchfamily.android.wifi_backend]] uses (on-device generated) WiFi data (local)
List of backends for (reverse) geocoding:
* [[org.microg.nlp.backend.nominatim]]
To be able to use this package, you will either need the
[https://repo.xposed.info/module/de.r3w6.xposedunifiednlp XposedUnifiedNlp module],
or your custom ROM must have org.microg.nlp added to the list of network
location services, otherwise [[com.google.android.gms]] would be more suitable
for you (provided that you do not have GAPPS installed on your system).
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 -> Location.
Since KitKat, you need to select any mode but "device only", on older Android
version this setting is called "Wi-Fi & mobile network location" (ignore any
misleading texts saying this is for Google's location service, you don't have
Google's service installed but UnifiedNlp).
WARNING: Depending on your hard-/software configuration additional steps might
be necessary, please read the [https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_UnifiedNlp/blob/HEAD/README.md README]
carefully.

* UCM and AUM fail, because the app contains multiple package ids. Maybe we
can solve this in init= ?
