Description

If I'm not wrong somewhere, adding this in /system/etc/microg.xml :

<string name="location_online_source" value="positon" />

should select Positon as the default location online source. This does not seem to work : the location notification still appears after clearing microG storage or doing a factory reset, and no location source is selected in microG settings.

microG version : v0.3.10.250932
OS : iodéOS 6.9

Research direction

Start by checking how /system/etc/microg.xml is read and how the location_online_source setting is handled, using the reported value and microG version as the reproduction context. Reproduce after clearing microG storage or factory-resetting the device, and confirm whether the location notification disappears and a source is selected in microG settings.
