Idea: Pokemon(GO) GPS Spoofing

[bobmcjr]

While that does spoof locations Pokemon GO doesnt like that and it will act up if it detects that in use. Something else needs to be done.

I imagine making/using an existing Xposed location module would be the best solution.
Alternatively, I would say decompile/baksmali the apk, force the "Mock Location" detection method to always return false, and rebuild it. I don't know what other checks it may have, but I've done similar things to other apps (e.g. forcing internet off to disable a region check, etc)

out of curiosity, how do you do GPS spoofing?
how does that work?

So i was actually very hesitant about getting Pokemon Go, because call me superstitious but i don't like the idea of Nintendo knowing where i am at all times. So then i thought to myself but i want to play this game, then i thought about this sight then the SPOOF word came to my mind LOL. I googled it and sure enough it exists, now i spoof my phones location at all times . So here's yet another reason why we need this device now!

I'm sure an exposed module will show up soon enough to allow Pokemon GO spoofing but I like the trackball idea. Someone needs to work magic and do that!

pokemon go in bluestacks then somehow mapping a movable mock gps to your pc's trackball mouse while sporting a pokemon themed mousepad. (even replace the trackball with a pokeball themed trackball )

Mock location will not work tested it out. Gives out a no GPS signal.

Sorry to break it to you.

I like to know how too because Data for me is expensive

Step 2 (HIDE your root)

ALSO it never occurred to me that it uses data, i thought it just used the satellite GPS system from your phone. Another reason for this to happen.

also about data this

Step 2 (HIDE your root)

Not sure hiding your root would help but probably modifying the app would do it. Pokémon go doesn't even care if your device is rooted anyways.

"The Pokémon Go app will check to see if you are jailbroken or rooted and if you are, the app goes bonkers and won’t work."

also hiding root can hide the gps mock.

This is one legit reason to spoof locations. I know I dont have an unlimited data plan and even when data is in use it can be very costly in battery too.

Not true as I stated earlier I have a rooted device and Pokémon Go works perfectly fine. Integrating a mock location app into the system folder would allow it to run without root as well but will still give you an error stating that there is no gps signal.

Pokemon go is probably one of the less data intensive app I've seen on my phone.
Please don't try to hide the fact that you guys are just lazy, cheating in this game is even more meaningless than in the main game serie. Like, c'mon, stepping outside isn't that hard!

Ok, this what I have tried sofar:

-I have an LG G3 running rooted cloudy3 2.5 rom.
-LG G3 Has Xposed running root cloaker.
-Tried cloaking pokemon go.
-Downloaded the app "fake location spoofer free"
-turned on "mock locations" in developers mode
-booted up pokemon go, i get the exact location where I want but pokemon go detects as "cannot find location" red header.

Ok, give me some graphs or proof on how much data is eating up after 2hours of gameplay.

The day you pay for my cell phone bill is when I will listen to you on how I should play the game.
