@cassidy@mastodon.blaede.family @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social uses a reimplementation of the Play geolocation for location requests. Honest question, how hard would it be to implement something similar on other Roms, like Calyx or /e/os?

@linuxjj@mastodon.social @cassidy@mastodon.blaede.family We emulate network location with GNSS + A-GNSS by default. Actual network location implementations can also be used on GrapheneOS including Google's implementation. PSDS and SUPL both work fine on GrapheneOS, and we could offer a toggle to use standalone SUPL which can work without GNSS. We host PSDS data and a SUPL proxy. We plan to provide our own local + service-based implementation of location detection based on cell towers that's better than the existing options.

@linuxjj@mastodon.social @cassidy@mastodon.blaede.family that was a wall of text from @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social - most of that not related to the question. Looks like #grapheneOS takes satellite location and forwards that as network location to some apps. That can easily be implented by microG. "Wifi location learn from GPS" already works in that direction.
