This is an index of community flashable ZIPs from the Fairphone Community for a variety of devices.
Flashable ZIPs are packages that can be flashed to Android devices, usually to modify the software. They need to be flashed by a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM Recovery.
This previously used to be a repository that contained the source for these packages, but each one has been moved to its respective repository.

Install microG or UnifiedNlp into an Android system. Also includes an OTA survival addon.d script.
You’ll usually install them normally, but Google blocked userspace location providers in Android 7+, and some ROMs have not applied required patches yet, like LineageOS.
microG is a free-as-in-freedom re-implementation of Google’s proprietary Android user space apps and libraries.
Unified Network Location Provider (UnifiedNlp) is a library that provides Wi-Fi- and Cell-tower-based geolocation with configurable plugins to applications that use Google’s network location provider. It is included in GmsCore but can also run independently on most Android systems.
