Description

Using the QR code in https://microg.org/download.html resulted in F-Droid the following apps "FakeStore", "microG DroidGuard Helper" and "microG Services Framework Proxy". However, the app "microG Services Core" does not occur in F-Droid.

Because of the location issue of my device with LineageOS I'd like to use the location service "UnifiedNlp (no GAPPS)" within LineageOS following the instructions on XDA. However, microG Services Core is an essential part of the instructions. And I cannot proceed without that missing app in F-Droid. What can I do? Can I flash Services Core separately besides the QR-method?

I have Nexus 5 with LineageOS 14.1 and TWRP.

Research direction

Start with the QR code on microg.org/download.html and inspect the resulting F-Droid repository listing for microG Services Core alongside the three apps reported as available. Check the F-Droid metadata or repository configuration, if present, to determine whether the app is intentionally excluded or missing. Done means establishing and documenting the expected installation path or correcting the listing.
