Fake GPS location

Lexa

About this app

Teleport your phone to any place in the world with two clicks! This app sets up fake GPS location so every other app in your phone belives you are there!

Has Tasker support and can be started/stopped from command line (See FAQ for details)

+++IMPORTANT+++
Be aware that after using FakeGPS you may find your location LOCKED TO THE LAST MOCKED LOCATION EVENT AFTER UNINSTALL FakeGPS!

It's not a bug and your GPS sensor isn't broken. There are two ways to fix this issue:
1. Install "GPS Status" from the Play, launch and get a fresh GPS fix. You may need to repeat it several times with 30 min interval.
2. Start FakeGPS, set your real location and leave it so for several hours.
You may combine these steps. The issue will disappear in one or two days - be patient.

For ROOTED devices you can mock locations without enabling "Allow mock locations" option. To do so please use Root Explorer or other similar app and move /data/app/ru.lexa.fakegps~1.apk to /system/priv-app or to /system/app (for Android 4.3 and older). Then change apk permissions to rw-r-r and reboot your device. If you find apk in /syste/priv-app disappears after reboot it means that your devices has S-ON mode enabled and so restores /system folder aftear each reboot. Please google how to switch your device to S-OFF mode.

If you can't find ru.lexa.fakegps.apk in /data/app you may find it at /mnt/asec/ru.lexa.fakegps/1.apk. In this case you should copy and rename it to /system/priv-app/ru.lexa.fakegps.apk.

Ratings and reviews

Works perfectly. You have to turn on Developer Mode first, and how to do that batteries by Android device. Then you need to set this app as the GPS test app. Once you've done that, move around the app's map to a location of choice and press the play button. This will spoof the phone into thinking that is it's current location. You can save locations as favorites and retrieve them from the menu. Very useful app.

The app works but it's not user friendly. To go to a specific location you can only search via latitude and longitude. The search function needs to allow you to input a street address to find a specific location. The maps are lacking in substance. When search the maps there are a lot of missing street names. There are definitely better apps out there that accomplish the same thing.

Works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I mostly use it because I'm disabled and mostly housebound, and some food places require your phone to "be there" when they start the order you put in through the app (like McDonald's once did, though more recently they've made it easier to just say you're there). This way, I can just tell it when someone is there to get my order.
