Description
Hi!
When building a custom rom (lineage 18.1), with the goal to add microg as a regular user package (from f-droid for example), I had to apply a supplementary patch to frameworks/base, to make it accept network location providers outside of /system (the spoofing signature patches from lineageos4microg /docker-lineage-cicd were not enough).
So, in my case, I had to add this patch from UnifiedNlp/patches/android_frameworks_base-N.patch to my custom rom, and slightly adapt it for R. (it applied just fine for Q, IIRC).
Maybe this could be more explicitly advertised in the documentation ?

Read the issue details and the referenced UnifiedNlp/patches/android_frameworks_base-N.patch, noting how it was adapted for Android R. Update the project documentation to explicitly explain that accepting network location providers outside /system may require this frameworks/base patch, and verify that the documented guidance matches the referenced patch.
