[Q] Control Apps Data

Hi-
I'm looking for an app that will give specific control with respect to which apps can use data or wifi, without rooting the phone. I understand DroidWall provides this feature, but I'd prefer not to root my phone.
Thanks for the help!

[Q] start/stop apps or services based on location

Hi together,
I am using sipdroid and I love it.
But most of the time I am out of WLAN coverage but sipdroid keeps trying to connect.
I was wondering if there is a software that can start and stop apps based on my location. JuiceDefender for example can trigger actions based on locations.
Is there such an app?

Try Tasker - amazing app with tons of features one of which is to do what u want to do.

Best navigation solution without data enabled

Hi all, i've searched the forum and found no such thread. What solution would you recommend when it comes to navigation on android without the need for data charges. I'd apreciate a free solution, but paid solutions are also welcomed.
Thanks!

You can try Sygic from playstore.
Another option is to use Waze- even though it requires network connection to calculate route and maps, you can turn the network off afterwards, and still be able to navigate using GPS only

I've tried them all. Sygic is the best overall in my opinion. There's a free trial (I think) on Play store.

OpenStreetMaps has an offline mode.
And if you find an APK of the old version of Google Maps, it also supports offline downloading.

The old TomTom application was a good "fully offline" navigation application. I'd still be using it personally if not for the fact that 1) all the carriers in my area have forced mobile data plans on users regardless, to the point that they actually charge you extra to disable mobile data from their end, and 2) even TomTom transitioned to a subscription based application, rather than a perpetual-license with annual versions.
At the end of the day, an online navigation option is best anyway, as it can adjust to changing conditions in real time. Waze is definitely a good one. I believe Google Maps will also continue navigating if you use WiFi prior to a trip to aim it at a destination, but in either case, you do lose access to the adaptability of the platform.

Faking GPS as system app

I'm new here, so I need some real guidance. Basically, I need to fake GPS as system app.
I tried installing the "Fake GPS Location" app, but that's not enough. For my own purpose, I need the GPS-faking app to be a system app to achieve my goal in another app that does not accept plain GPS faking.
One hard request is that I need to avoid rooting the device as much as possible. So if there's a way to achieve GPS faking on the system level without rooting, I would highly appreciate that.

Service keeps getting disabled

Hi everybody
I'm running a virtual android 7 - app name vphonegaga (faster better then vmos - in my opinion).
The host machine is LG G8S running android 11.
In the virtual machine - a certain service (within google play services) called "LocationAccuracyInjectorService" keeps getting disabled, even when being enabled manualy (using service disabler app).
has anyone encountered similar issue?
Any suggestions?
Thanx

Hey there
Same problem here GPS extremly laggy.
Didn't know about that specific service getting shut down. What I have found out, using the app GPS essentials, is that google location provider doesn't get a GPS fix at all. Further more, even when you get a fix using the GPS directly the satellites positions doesn't make sense they are positioned in a perfectly 12 clock like shape.
However after downloading the app you mentioned service disabler and enabling LocationAccuracyInjectorService and then checking GPS essentials app again google location provider will get a fix but will not update the location after that.
Hope this info will help a little.
Please inform if you found a solution

Forgot to mention that I'm using a huawei device.
Further more I've installed both chinese version (of vphonegaga app) and english version - that was installed via huawei app gallery - which means that the app was tested and found suitable for my device.
I thing it is safe to say that the problem is not with the host device.
Hope that this info will help too.

Hey there
The fake positions of the GPS satellites, that the GPS essentials app is showing, is reaffirming my susspision that something is tampering with the GPS feedback.
The vphonegaga app is aimed mainly towards gamers and there's a good chance that the developers of the app made sure that, this service will keep getting disabled for the sake of GPS spoofing.
There's also a possiblity that google play services themselves are detecting that the GPS sattelites locations are fake, and therefore disabling the LocationAccuracyInjectorService.
Either way, something keeps disabling that service. If we knew what it is, maybe we could find a way to work around it or simply prevent it from disabling the service.
I've been searching for an app or a way that will allow me to monitor and log the activity of that specific service, and see what keeps disabling it, but so far found nothing.

Don't blame this sleeping satellite - blame google!!!
Tasmin archers words, not mine...
Well the google part is mine
Jokes aside... The problem, that both of you are describing exists in VMOS as well.
Now VMOS is a virtual enviorment app that allows you to run different, various ROMs.
Therefore, VMOS itself, will not mess up your GPS, and it's very unlikly that all the VMOS ROMs that come with google services, have been tampered alike.
Therefore, the chances are - that google services themselves are disabling that specific service.
BTW - like I said I personly prefer VMOS, cause it is a much more sophisticated app with various (and editable) ROMS.
But I must say, that after checking vphonegaga, it does seem to run faster and better - for that specific android version 7.1.2
