Newer builds of LineageOS support signature spoofing now, so no need for LineageOS4microg anymore. Just download the official microg APK.

You also get the benefit of weekly security updates over the rather irregular ones with LOS4microg.

If you use network locations, unfortunately that still requires LOS4microg or the microg installer for Magisk module.

What are "network locations" in this context?

I'm referring to the location based on wifi and lte information. This location is less accurate than GPS, but also much faster to acquire.

Usually, Google would determine this location based on its database of networks and there's no way to set another location provider without installing microg as a system app or patching Android.

The microg installer I mentioned [1] does this configuration so you can use microg as your network locations provider.
