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.

[DISCONTINUED][ROM][9.0][SM-G930F] Lightheart OS [30/10/2020]

Lightheart 1.0 - The key to speed.​
Hi everyone. My name is Skulldron and for those of you who do recognise me, know me as the creator of Project Pixel, another one of the greatest ways to emulate the Pixel Experience, whilst keeping all the benefits of using OneUI and its stock optimized drivers as its base. Today I'm going to introduce something, different. Over the years of working on Touchwiz based ROMs, I've learnt the description of every little apk, every little permission, what it accepts and what it rejects, its pros and its cons. As a result of this experience, I have one of the best debloat lists out there, with each item on the debloat list, being tested, through extensive testing, and it goes over every file and every partition known in the OneUI OS. This exact same debloat script was used in Project Pixel, which has received positive review after positive review for how efficient and how lightweight OneUI became after the debloat. Today however, I present to you Lightheart OS, a new project that I will be building myself and updating monthly. Today I showcase Lionheart, the Lineage OS to my Cyanogenmod.
Key Features:
1. Heavily Debloated System: The debloat script that was made by me, has over 250+ debloated permissions, apks and other files.
2. Better Battery Performance due to Efficiency - With the removal of an incredible amount of bloat, along with better performance and lesser services, you should be looking at better SOTs and better standby times.
3. Kernel Power Control: With MTweaks and Magisk, you will be able to control your device’s clock speed and be able to force higher GPU and CPU Clock, when doing more intensive tasks such as gaming.
4. Better Kernel Performance - Due to the deepness of the debloat, the kernel now has more RAM and more space to be more efficient and allow it to focus on less threads at once.
5. Latest available patch with the promise of updates every month - Every month an update is released, the ROM will be updated along with it, with a time frame of 1-2 weeks.
6. Restored some stock Google Permissions - Some stock google framework was restored, such as the default setup wizard.
7. All Essential Samsung Features have been kept - All essential OneUI features have been kept alive, for the sole purpose of necessity.
8. Completely Deknoxed -The ROM has been Deknoxed and FRP lock measures have been disabled
9. VoLTE Supported
Individual Features:
1. AdAway
2. Eleven Music
3. Files GO
4. GBoard
5. Android Pie AOSP Emojis
6. Lightheart X Boot Animation
7. AOSP System Sounds
8. Samsung Gallery (Stripped Down and lightened to improve performance)
9. Samsung's Stock Camera with HDR parameter changes, debloated and additional video modes
10. SystemUI Tuner (Provides battery stats along with other useful customizations - Check QS icons and add it to QS Panel to view)
11. YouTube Vanced (Ad-free Youtube)
12. Mtweaks (Has Hardware Control - Similar to Kernel Adiutor but more tailored to Exynos)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: (Backup everything,contacts, photos etc.)
1. Download the zip and download the latest Magisk (ROM will not boot if Magisk is not flashed due to encryption procedures)
2. Wipe System, Data, Dalvik Cache and Cache
3. Flash the zip and flash Magisk.
Notes:
- To view Battery Stats and Storage, pull down the Quick Settings Panel and on the top right click the three bubbles button and then Button Order. Then move the new Battery and Storage icon to the Quick Settings.
- Set Trebuchet as default launcher, for better battery savings. OneUI Home was only included for its app switcher.
Changelog:
1.0 - Initial Release
If changes are made, they will be highlighted in the next post.

Samsung note fe base???

Hi, thanks for the ROM. Will try it. Could you please provide md5?

Can't use GPay

Yes it is running the base from a Note FE. In particular the SuperLegerra ROM

wow, ... and echo cancellation works perfect ... but two things that I miss so far
the option "kill app back button" in the settings -> developer options ... please don't forget to build-in
the possibility to mount the SD card in the file system
Both options are default in LOS ... and yes, I know it was an initial release.
Thx for your work. we are hopefully waiting for the improvements!

Download and trying to install tonight

Info regarding phone stuck on boot pic
Hi there,
I have little experience with custom roms etc. I had installed LineageOS some moths ago as my phone was working poorly on stock rom and now with LOS 17.1 was starting to have problems again. Like an hour ago decided after some research to install this rom. However, after flasing the rom and magisk (I couldnt flash Gapps as error 20 appeared), my phone got completely stuck on boot picture (SAMSUNG GALAXY S7; POWERED BY ANDROID). I have both tried to get into twrp (previously installed) and download mode. No luck in any of the cases. I have tried to do the same from odin, to flash again twrp. However, as I cannot access download mode, I didnt work.
Now, I´m trying my best to figure out how to install some OS and continue from there, or at least be able to flash twrp and install another ROM.
I would much appreciate any advice in the matter.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: NEW SITUATION. No need of help anymore (by now)

Hi All, has anyone got EdXposed working?
I've installed magisk 21.1, riru core 21.3 , and riru YAHFA 0.4.6.4 EdXposed manager shows framework not active :/

Does mobile hotspot work?
I've been looking for a ROM that has kept the Samsung gallery and camera so I want to try this ROM. but I need to be able to use mobile hotspot so please let me know if it works fine. Thx

Hello, the ROM works great. There are some minor things. Like always on display does not work with option to tap the screen to show for 10 seconds. Also for some reason I can't instal Revolut from the play store. And lastly Titanium backup does not restore all the apps. I could not figure out a way how to make that work.

The hotspot works fine on mine.
I had the same issue with Titanium backup.
In the end I used split screen and installed each app from the play store, then restored data only.
Has anyone got xposed working?

Gapps
Do I need to flash gapps or is it included?
I'm currently using lineage is 16 with gapps. Do I need to flash gapps again if flashing a ROM again? Sorry I'm a newbie.

@Skulldron, thanks for the ROM, works great and it's stable. Just few things. Could you please update the Adaway app? There is a newer stable version on xda available. I tried to update it myself but it was not possible. Also could you please fix the Always on display function? The tap on screen option does not work.

As I experienced from other ROM that based on Note FE base, the Galaxy S7 cant show AOD with tap to show mode due to hardware problem, so please choose always show option on the setting

Flashing a different rom, I do like this rom but need xposed and it's annoying that YouTube and adaway are system apps.

Youtube and Adaway can be removed with System App remover or Link2sd from Play Store. Then you restart the S7 and install Adaway from github and Vanced.app

I do like this rom, espicially the first boot right after install, which was really fast, made an impression. Probably the most battery friendly and lite-weight One UI-Rom one can find. One usability problem for me was the *missing feature that increased touch sensitivity*. With my screenprotector on, I have to push harder and several times before successfully pulling down the notification bar or when writing or selecting.

Is it just me or is SmartSwitch taking a long time/not restoring messages? I get to the part when it would start restoring messages but then it just never loads.. other then that, the ROM is great!

[ROM][SM-P905][UNOFFICIAL] Lineage 18.1 | Android 11 | 20210509

I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
This firmware was developed for the p905. It doesn't apply to the p905v at this time because it's bootloader locked and a custom recovery isn't possible.
If you want to check firmware - please make backup. Better to store all partitions, at least efs and may be modem.
Instructions
1. Install custom recovery
2. Download the zip(s) - firmware and Google Apps additional package (optional)
3. Backup all partitions (it least efs) and store somewhere - it need to do - because you can loose imei
4. Full wipe all
5. Flash firmware and gapps
6. Uncheck Update Lineage Recovery alongside the OS option during start wizard
Work
almost all

Thanks to LineageOS team

Nice
Will there be also a P900 build?

Thank you Valera 1978!
PS. I have "Serial console enabled Performance is impacted. To disable, check bootloader" message.

Today I saw that BT is not working at all

BT is already crashed in the last 17 Version from 2020/12 several times. Maybe a common issue?

A build for the P900 would be great! Many thanks to the developers for keeping this get tablet alive and better than ever!

Valera1978, gratitude for keeping our Tablet alive. How is the S-Pen working in this ROM?

Well, I think to try tomorrow to install it! Good work like always Dev

What would I necessarily have to do to Port this to p900

I tried this for a little time. For me it is laggy too much. It's better at the moment Lineage 17.1 even if I need to find the version with palm rejection working because in the last (for me) not work.

I tried this rev. but I immediatly rolled back to 17.1
So buggy and slow. I hope in next updates

Any progress?

Hi! I flashed the new version and this is perfect, not slow like the other!
I would want use Duo app but from the other side not hear me. If I do a simple video with camera app I can hear my voice. What problem can be???
Thanks a lot
Edit: I found this problem in lineage 17.1 too. Maybe there is some settings that I don't know?!
Edit2: If u want call via skype, duo or other things just use earphones... what a bug lol!

Tanks a lot Valera1978 for the New Update...

No possibility with p900?

New build's great, much smoother than 17.1 and no crashes or other issues so far
Edit: Found out that the lag is somehow caused by me changing the wallpaper. Not sure why since the wallpaper is not live and is only 1920x1200 so it shouldn't cause lag.
Also, system UI keeps stopping when trying to enter settings from the notification shade

Too bad can't download it (neither of them). There seems to be some kind of cooldown or something on Drive. Can anyone confirm?
Edit: Got it installed. Seems to be super smooth. Thank you very much for your work OP. You are da real MVP, this tabled is old but you keep this alive!

its not better compare to 17.1 . change colorful wallpapers in few programs/home unable to change. some graphics issue. video still same as 17.1 camera can not take video .but can take pictures. Thanks Valera1978 for the new upgrade

Updated April security patch. runs smooth, but still everything same camera only can use for photo and few apk graphic could not see. but over all it stable and nice thanks again Valera1978

updated May security patch. unfortunately can not boot. keep goes to recovery mode .do any one can help me what to do to boot as regular system.did any one face same problem

Question "System download package complete"

I have this message, but since the phone is rooted I'm very scared if I should install this download, I don't even know what it is, so didn't open this message.
Unfortunately it can't be removed, so what now?

Could you check this notification form which application comes?

I went to settings, system, system updates.
There it states my phone is rooted and that updating will unroot. I'm a bit scared that they push the new Android 12 to me, with all problems this will probably mean they will kill my phone...
The update is 3061 MB (for the EU-version 9 pro)

Oh, it sais:
Optimized the third-party app experience
Updated Android security patch to 2021.11
Improved System stability and fixed known issues
So no android 12 I think, but still... How to install this and then root once again? I mean, should I boot with a temporary twrp or batched boot and then reapply the patch from magisk, or does this also uninstall magisk?

You shouldn’t wipe anything when flashing the kernel. If the stock kernel works fine, I don’t see why mine shouldn’t

Everything is working perfectly, thanks for the guide. I installed the PixelExperience GSI but for some reason Fingerprint sensor is not working. The process is stuck on "Touch the sensor" and the sensor is not lighting up. Yes, I set the color of fingerprint sensor to White (and even tried all other colors).
I even have the following options checked
- Enable Extra Sensor
- Enable workaround for broken fingerprint sensor
- Enable workaround for white-ish screen
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

I don't know what could be the issue, maybe try to google or try disabling and enabling the fingerprint lock again.

I have tried few GSI Roms. Here is my summary:
Android 13
- AOSP, Android 13, No image with GAPPs pre-installed and cannot seem to install it. Tried NikGAPPs, and LiteGAPPs, both didn't work
- Google GSI, Android 13, same issue
- Pixel Experience, Android 13, GAPPs pre-installed but Fingerprint sensor won't get detected.
Android 12
- AOSP, Android 12, GAPPs pre-installed, Fingerprint sensor detected (changing color to white). Will stick to it unless there is an issue detected.

Thanks for the feedback, have you tried any ROMs instead of GSIs?

Nope, I tried to find a good custom rom for A52s but couldn't find any.

What about volte and hotspot on GSI pixel experience 13?

I have tried few GSI Roms. Here is my summary:
Android 13
- AOSP, Android 13, No image with GAPPs pre-installed and cannot seem to install it. Tried NikGAPPs, and LiteGAPPs, both didn't work
- Google GSI, Android 13, same issue
- Pixel Experience, Android 13, GAPPs pre-installed but Fingerprint sensor won't get detected.
Android 12
- AOSP, Android 12, GAPPs pre-installed, Fingerprint sensor detected (changing color to white). Will stick to it unless there is an issue detected.

Thanks for your summary,
Is there any experience with MicroG on this device with AOSP 13?

I'm on AOSP 13 now, but perhabs it's better to go back to 12. I'm very interested in the AOSP with the GAPPs pre-installed. Could you share a link to the file?

I got the image from AOSP under the official Android 12/12L section. You can find release here. The exact image I got is the system-squeak-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps-secure.img.xz one since the standard gapps one came with an app called "superuser" which I couldn't seem to uninstall (I tried the scripts to remove supersu). This caused my banking apps to not run. That is why I installed the "secure" one and then installed Magisk and added my banking apps to the defylist.

I think VoLTE was available as an option in one of the ROM I tested but I don't remember exactly. Currently AOSP 12 doesn't support it. Hotspot worked on every ROM just fine.

Hi Mian,
Thanks for your response. When I typed my question I realized that in the end I want to have and de-googled phone. So I changed my question in the direction of MicroG. I didn't expect you to be so quick with answering.

I haven't tried MicroG in any of the ROM. I just to have as little Google apps as possible but if you do find a good guide, let me know, I will try to use a de-googled phone.

Thx, all worked.

I've installed MicroG. But it seems AOSP doen't allaw support system spoofs signature. Play services (GmsCore) is installed but without the spoofed signature it can't do much I guess...

I have been using AOSP Android 12 for the past week or so. Most of the things just plain works but somethings don't. Here is the list of things that are not working so you can decide if the hassle of installing GSI is worth it or not.
- Proximity Sensor is worse than it was in OneUI. Yes, it is a virtual sensor but on OneUI, it worked better. Now, it is worse. More often than not, it turns on the screen during the call. It would have been better if it simply didn't work.
- The viewport of default camera App in the AOSP displays picture in 4:3 but the camera hardware is giving out 16:9, so the viewport was squeezed. After installing GCam everything is good.
- Fingerprint Sensor simply doesn't work in-app like those in banking apps. It works on the lock screen but nowhere else.
- USB Audio Devices don't work. I have a USB-C to A OTG where I used to insert my headphones. On OneUI they used to work but here they don't. Storage devices work.
- 120 Hz felt smoother on OneUI.

Hello everyone
I managed to install LineageOS with working GApps and camera using this guide, so a big thanks to everyone who worked on flashing this phone
If anyone wants to install it, you need to:
Chose a bgN package (I installed this one : https://sourceforge.net/projects/an...UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN-vndklite.img.xz/download). It includes the GApps. You won't be able to install GApps after installing a vanilla (bvS / bvN) package. For some reasons, the /system partition is too small.
For unlocking camera and install magisk, just flash this kernel : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-12-13-a528b-n-mesas-custom-kernel-r4.4490653/
I also installed magiskhide prop conf module, but I'm not sure it changed anything and the camera fix was probably already in the MCK. You can find it here anyway : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...safetynet-prop-edits-and-more-v6-1-2.3789228/
