Fake GPS Without Mock Location - Marshmallow

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?

How can I spoof location on OP 7 pro?

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

Is there a way to make an app think it has location permission but not actually?

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

I think you'll find that interesting.
For your original question I don't think it's possible, but check the link

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.

Idk why and how it has been removed, here it is : https://www.wired.co.uk/article/x-privacy-android-app
Usually mods leave a note when a link is forbidden, but I'll advice you to follow the more complete answer from Droidriven.
Search for "mock location for Android" on google

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.

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

Help wanted on a location spoofing app that Wechat doesn't detect & ban me for

Hi there people!
Seems to work better on a Galaxy S5 rather than an S8 but WeChat over the last 6 years have made it increasingly difficult to spoof where I am without the app banning my account completely for it recognizing me using location simulation software.
Not only that but the Fake location software I have used with WeChat is very hit and miss. 1 time out of about 20 it gets the spoofed location correct.
Wondered if anyone found a solution to this? I know people once said use an earlier version of WeChat but I can't even do that now because it informs me that the version is too old.
I have today used on the S8 EdXposed Modules. Firstly was Advanced Virtual Location which didn't work at all. So I instead downloaded a Fake GPS Joystick for Pokemon GO along with an extra which Hides Mock Locations to Apps. However, Wechat still thinks I am in my actual (Real) location.
Let me know if you familiar with all these WeChat changes and how we can bypass them.
Cheers!

If you rooted, there are some xposed modules can do the job for you.
I used latacylsm and xprivacylua, both works well with wechat up to Android 12.
