Play Store and Play Services are not the same thing: the first is just the app store, the second is a set of tools that the apps can use to do things on your phone. Aurora replaces the Play Store, while MicroG mocks the Play Services.

For me, MicroG is the sweet spot: it’s an open source reimplementation of the Play Services. I installed the app from Aurora and it works without complaining: check “LineageOS with MicroG”.

Arch + KDE does that

As an Italian, it’s even funnier cause “sega” means handjob

I understand. Currently, I’m using the NextCloud’s extension Phonetrack, and one on my main use cases is to export GPX files to use them in Darktable and add geotracking information to the pictures I shoot with my camera. It works well, actually, but Phonetrack is not too intuitive and does not offer many other features: that’s why I was looking with interest at this alternative!

Very very cool! I see that you can import GPX files: can you also do the opposite, i.e., export a GPX file for a selected time range?

I tried both the OwnTracks server and Dawarich, and had problems using them with my reverse proxy (Caddy), which I didn’t manage to fix. Eventually, I installed the Nextcloud app Phonetrack, and I’ve been using it for months with the OwnTracks client: it works fine, it can also export GPX files, which I can use to tag pictures shot with my camera, using Darktable. I recommend this solution if you are already using Nextcloud!
