I had been using Fake GPS apps for years on my old reliable Galaxy Nexus without enabling mock locations by moving the app into system/app or priv-app. I finally updated to a Nexus 6 with Android 6, but I can't seem to get any Fake GPS apps to work without mock locations enabled. Can anyone suggest how to get this to work? I have done a lot of searching, but I haven't been able to find anything that works.
Thanks in advance!

I'm in the same exact position... did this for years successfully. Now on Marshmallow and can't seem to get it working. My guess is that a deodexed ROM or just a deodexed version of the app would allow it to be moved. Maybe not though.
Ever figure this out?

Hi folks,
I'm just wondering of there's a reason why I can't access some apps I was able to find before in the market?
Quick Settings, Launcherpro beta, Adw launcher, Zeam, etc, are nowhere to be find now...
I've got some of them on my download page on the market app and I also wonder if I can still access the updates.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try to find out.
Maybe your market access keys are incorrect because you have installed a custom rom? For example, test versions from Huawei have test keys installed that will not list all applications. You need to use proper release keys provided by carrier.
Thanks speckles, you point a different possible problem. Even if I don't have a custom rom: just a Milestone 2.1 rooted.

Well, I think that I have the proper one for I didn't changed it. Can you tell me how can I check this? (I've got still a lot to learn.)
I have been reading a little on old and similar problems, often related issues with protected app, like paid/protected app on rooted phones - and regardless to the models, countries, carriers, and maybe even to the versions.
I am not sure to be concerned, I mean it's a bit different in my case. For instance, I have Tapatalk pro installed and which is protected but I can still find it on the market (I mean outside of the download tab).
So far, my problem only concerns some free apps.
There were from long time app that I wasn't able to find on the market (like TV.com), by example when using appbrain. But now, that's the first time I can't find apps I had already downloaded and that I've got installed. (I spotted the problem while recommending apps to a friend who's got a Desire since a few days. He was himself unable to find them, like Quick settings.)
Edit --
Scanning a barcode pointing on the apps in the market do not work as well.
Some solutions points to the build.prop:
Root your phone and modify your /system/build.prop with the fingerprint of a build that actually works. Then clear all data and cache from the market and google apps, reboot, set your clock to 23:59 and wait 5 minutes to force a refresh of the data before starting the Market app. You'll have to supply your Google account details again but this should work around the problem.

From MasDroid, on XDA -14th April 2010, 08:59 PM
I've read about this issue which was recently explained by a developer of XDA (nprussell).
Apparently everyone is in the same boat so to speak. He states that many "protected" apps are missing from the market. There are generally two reasons why apps will be missing from the market:
When a new ROM or handset is released, the manufacturer (i.e. HTC), sends the build to Google for verification, which includes a 'Fingerprint' (a unique line of text which governs its market access) in one of the build files. Generally, it states the name of the phone and Android version in the fingerprint. With Root & System write access, this fingerprint can be changed, but although it's been claimed that the Desire has recently been Rooted, we still don't have confirmation from any developer of it being able to gain System write access.
Only until Google approve the build, then fingerprint will be added to their allowed database to view these protected apps on the market.
The other cause for apps missing from the market in builds is because of permissions of certain apps. For example, the barcode scanner app requires permissions to use the camera/auto focus. They are NOT protected apps. If the XML permission files are missing from system/etc/permissions, then Google Market will simply block these apps from showing.
HTC need to chase Google up on this and Google need to activate the Fingerprint.

Edit 2 --
I have tried to replace my build.prop (using one from a Telus Milestone) but nothing has changed. Maybe I need to erase the market's data as told in the second quote but I'm not sure to know how to do it.
I have the same problem. (Htc desire Vodafone/the Netherlands/original ROM) There was an OTA update few days a go. After that most of the installed apps couldn't be found. It seems that this affected a lot of people...check the comments on launcherpro an adw launcher websites

If you have edited your build.props, then it can take upto 24 hours for them to be published to the market. So wait a few days.
If it still doesn't work, try Eris Market Fix after doing a nandroid backup. Again, you may have to wait about 24 hours before noticing any changes.
I think i have same problem here. Finland/HTC Desire/Stock ROM.
There should be LauncherPro in market right? Had to dl new one from LP's site.
I have got everything back and I'm still using the same build.prop. So I believe that the market had been fixed.
Hope it's the same for you!
On my LG G3, I can go into "access lock" and manage the permissions that each application has. This allows me to say which applications that use location services, which ones can keep the phone awake, which ones can use vibration, etc. I cannot get to that on my Samsung devices. Does anyone know of a solution to manage individual application permissions without root? Thanks in advance.
If I'm not mistaken, Android M has this built-in, so hopefully we will get the update sometime soon when it's out.
Other than that I'm not sure how to do it.

I am hopeful it will be available at that time. For now, I am using Package Disabler to disable the apps I don't use. I so thankful there is finally a solution without root!
How can I spoof location on a rooted OP 7 pro? In my old nougat I just used a fake location app and set the location method to GPS only. I don’t see that option on Android Pie. I’ve tried several spoofing apps on pie but the location keeps going back to the real one after a while

I used to do this when developing an application to test GPS out. It was a bit more complex, but it seems that there are some easier methods to pull it off. Have you tried the following?
https://www.xda-developers.com/fake-android-location/
or this app from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incorporateapps.fakegps.fre
I recently picked up a dji osmo 3 - a stabilizer gimbal.
I do not know why, but the app demands location access. It will not allow you to use the app if you do not grant it. I even tried granting permission and then while using the app revoking permission - the app then prompts you again for location access without anyway to denying access and still use the app.
I was wondering if there's some way to make the app think it has location access? Maybe just feed it a bogus set of GPS coords?
I'm guessing there is, but I'm also guessing I need to at least be rooted, which i am not. I'm using a Note 10+ 5g with verizon, not rooted/stock rom.
I'd conside rooting the phone though if that's required.
Thanks

Yes, it is commonly used on android, it is called "mock location".
There is more than one way or more than one app/tool that can be used. To find the method/app/tool that works best for you, do a google search for:
"Setup mock location on android"
Try the different methods that you find until one of them works for you.
As for rooting your device, if you got the device from Verizon, you probably won't be able to root the device because Verizon's devices all have locked bootloaders. The only way you would be able to root is if one of the universal rooting apps or rooting programs just happens to have an exploit that works on your device, but even that is a very slim chance because those kinds of apps and programs pretty much lost their effectiveness somewhere between android Marshmallow and Oreo.

Thanks, i'm doing that. Although so far using mock location seems to be an all or nothing approach - meaning EVERYTHING has a fake location or everything has the real location. I just want the one dji app to have fake data. Looks like the app you linked to is what i want, although it's outdated now. And requires root, which driodriven says I may not be able to do on my phone. I'll have to look into it further.
FYI, i found a link to an updated version of xprivacy - https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xprivacylua6-0-android-privacy-manager-t3730663 - i haven't found out yet if this new version requires the phone to be rooted...considering all it does i'd be surprised if it didn't.

I'm not sure there is a way to make it apply to individual apps separately.

Hello, I have been trying to disguise my GPS for some time.
I have tried different apps from the PlayStore but always had the same result, that result is always the same. I get a notification:
"FAKE GPS creates a false location
Location services not available"
I have unfortunately found absolutely nothing on this subject. I always just come to the same pages that explain to me how to do what I do but so far. Without success.
Is it possible at all without root?
I found it but currently i have no access to rooted device
