I have a small question, in android you can turn on Mock location so that you can fake the location where u actualy are.
There are applications that can detect that mock location is turned on in android so it blocks some possibilities becouse they want taht you really are on that place.
Is there a possibility that the application can not detect that mock location is turned on?
I use the samsung galaxy s1 with gingerbread.
I was wondering if there's any Mod for both android and iOS that sends an alert (such as: "make sure to turn the oven off") as soon as I leave the house. The trigger maybe when my phone is out of my wifi's range or when i walk pass some sort of detector.
I dont know if this is the correct place to ask such question. I have an idea you guys will have an answer because there's a lot of problem solver on this website

What phone do you have?
You could do that with an NFC enabled phone (when you place it on an NFC tag) and I am pretty sure there's an app that has location detection that will do that when it detects you leaving a certain location.

My family uses all sort of devices: iPhone 4S, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S II etc
nm. i found spot alerter for android. theres a built in feature for iphone. i will have to wwit for my wife to come home to confirm
First time posting, so please let me know if I missed something. I will edit as needed.
Ok, so I am trying to setup a Samsung Note 3 with GPS spoofing.
System Information:
Android Version: 5.0
Model Number: SM-N900T
Rooted: Yes
Kernel Version:3.4.0-6005498
What have I done so far:
I rooted my phone and installed SuperSU
I installed FakeGPS and set it as a system application
I have set my location to GPS Only
I have disabled Fused Location and rebooted my phone (several times)
I looked for GNSS and other suggested location services but I am unsure what else I should/could disable
Long story short, I am rubber banding between my real location and my GPS spoofed location (which is about 100 feet away).
I would really like to know if anyone has any solid ideas on what I can do.
I am 100% comfortable with ditching this OS and using another ROM (which I havent done before, but I could learn).
EDIT: From what I am reading this has to do with the phone Location Sniffing. I have Wifi and Bluetooth turned off. I have searched for the setting where the Wifi is always searching, but I could not find it on my device. I dont think it exists.
Additional input.
I wanted to add:
It seems that if I stop Fused Location and restart my phone, everything works properly for a short period of time but the real location starts leaking eventually.
This gives me the impression that something might be restarting Fused Location. Does anyone think this might be what is causing the issue? Or is there a program that might be able to actively kill Fused Location?
I have a rooted android device and have tried some fake location apps (non-root and root required). They work for Google Maps, it shows the location i choose. But for the other apps like connected2me and Tinder they don't work.
I tried to make the location setting as "device only" etc. but still don't work.
I started to think why it doesn't work and maybe it s because of this:
imgur.com/a/o66Jk
It says "Your device will need to use Wi-Fi and cell networks". As I understand, even though I choose a fake location, these kind of apps get the information from wifi provider, and that's the reason why it doesn't work.
Am I right?
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Edit: I just noticed something else. Unlike Tinder, connected2me doesn't want to use wifi and cell networks to find location. But it also doesn't show up in the location settings under "recent location requests" unlike the other apps. How does this app know my location without accessing my location lol
+1 i would like to find a trick. Normally when you are rooted you can do whatever you like with your phone even spoofing data to every app. So i'm sure there is a trick to do it. Anyway your post gives some nice clues to find the trick. I hope someone will share it here.
Hi all
Sorry if this is the wrong place, if so the thread can be moved or I will repost to what someone tells me is the right place
I have a Galaxy s5 (SM-G900V), used to be on Verizon but is a no service/sim phone now and is WIFI only connectivity.
I need to be able to GPS hack the phone, undetectably.
Full phone details:
Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V)
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP Installed 3.5.0_9-0
Magisk installed and hidden (v 23.0, Zygisk: No, Ramdisk: Yes)
Storage Isolation installed
CrDroid
About Phone says Android 10
I found this forum post (https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-fake-location-android-gps-spoofing/) and looking at it, this appears to be what I need (please tell me if I am wrong).
Here is where I need some help. I am an IT guy and 100% comfortable with doing what needs done to the phone, but not recently up to speed on Android images, etc.
I enabled Developer Options so I could turn on USB Debugging
On several other phones I have tried this on, the Mock Locations option is either greyed out or does not exist at all, on this one the option is there and working, but I'm pretty sure from how a test app is refusing to even start if I have Mock Locations enabled, that it's the original Mock Locations which reports to the system that location is being mocked.
My question is, once I do the step about downloading Smali Patcher, generating and applying the Mock Locations patch, will the Patch replace the existing Mock Locations or will the fact that the original Mock Locations exists screw things up or leave me vulnerable to being detected mocking??
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

Why do you need to do it in a manner that can't be detected?

Same reason as everyone does.. so the app I am using, which could be pokemon or anything else, does not detect I am GPS Spoofing

Then you don't need anything special, you just need the standard method of using "mock location".

If I use the 'standard mock location' that is available in all android versions once you enable developer options, mocking IS detected.
Did you not read the question I asked??
If I use Smali Patcher to apply the specific 'Mock Locations' that does not report to the system that location is being mocked, will it overwrite the existing "Mock Locations" or will it screw something up??

Or, maybe you misunderstood what I meant by "standard mock location". The standard "method" should work, getting it "setup" may be a bit out of the ordinary, though.
There may be some other trick to use. I had a Galaxy S3 when Pokemon Go was released, I had to use a trick to get it to work on the S3 because it didn't have the GPS hardware compatibility required to run it. I didn't have to use mock location, I can't remember the trick I had to use, it was years ago.

"Then you don't need anything special, you just need the standard method of using "mock location""
Yeah.. that's not at all confusing the way it's worded... anyways.
So Smali Patcher should replace the existing stock mock location with one that does not report it to the system is what I am getting from this.
Thanks
Update for anyone reading this thread in the future in case it helps someone.
Yes, Smalipatcher does REPLACE/MODIFY the existing mock locations applet, so it's safe to do this procedure on phones that have the option already available or if it's greyed out.
One note of caution on the S5 Galaxy, might apply to other devices as well.
I was having a real problem with GPS Beaconing/rubberbanding... every few minutes the GPS Module and the spoofing software would 'fight' rather obviously for about 30 seconds.
So I had to go another step not included in the instructions at the link above. That was to move the GPS Joystick app to the system partition using the Magisk Systemize module.
Once you move the GPS Joystick app (the copied under a new name one that is mentioned in the instructions) system partition and make it a system app, you set the 'Mock Locations App' in Developer options to none. No more beaconing/rubberbanding.
Enjoy all
