Description
Here's a [description of my setup](https://forum.fairphone.com/t/a-guide-to-install-open-gapps-while-minimizing-google-dependency/40354/3) that follows on [M.A.K.'s instructions](https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/unifiednlp-gapps-patch-t3567887).
FP Open framework has an org.microg.nlp line item, so patching isn't needed. Google location stops scanning with the deactivation of two services, what allows for UnifiedNlp to bind the backends, but backend boxes need to be cleared and rechecked after every reboot. UnifiedNlp is installed in priv-app and backends as user apps, moving backends to priv-app doesn't change anything.
This setup is the only one that allows for all Google Location dependent apps that I have to run, so I cannot change which services can be reactivated or deactivated without breaking it. It has shown to be pretty solid except for the clearing and rechecking of backend boxes after each reboot.

Research direction
Start with the linked Fairphone and XDA setup instructions, then reproduce the UnifiedNlp configuration by rebooting the FP Open OS device. Done means the selected backend boxes remain enabled and UnifiedNlp continues binding its backends after reboot without changing the required Google service state.
