    I tried running dos but the location services being removed made life rather difficult so I had to go back to a different room. How do you get taxi apps to work without location services?

      I don’t use them too much, but manage to get Uber working with just addresses.

      You can also set up location services with MicroG and modules, but setting that up is like stacking a house of cards.

      Edit: You could also just install GApps, of varying densities. This is literally installing Google Play Services and its various features, as would normally be found. That kind of undermines the whole privacy aspect of the ROM, but it does get things working very easily, and you can at least limit the amount of crap you install with the various packages (nano, pico, full, etc).

        Oh weird. I played around with micro g, but I couldn’t get location services to work I just thought it had been totally stripped out. I’ll give it another go

          Location with MicroG is done by additional modules. However, some apps explicitly look for Google Maps’ back end, so there’s another module that installs an old version of that.
