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

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.

it's pretty good but very annoying that every time I want to change locations it defaults to some place in the middle of the forest instead of my current location period that makes it very difficult for me to update my location. there's also no way to choose the location where you currently are. if there was at least a quick way to select where I am now it would be easy to move it from there to say a couple streets down

I have just downloaded the application and am observing myself in 360. The battery was depleting, so I connected my phone to the charger, and it shifted to my location. So, after I unplugged it, it went back to my original choice. That was a bummer! I didn't see that mentioned anywhere or in any reviews. Did you do something wrong?
