Fake GPS location

This application is called FakeGPS and it has the ability to be controlled through Tasker and command line. This means that users can easily start and stop the app using these methods, which can be found in the FAQ section for more details.

It's important to note that after using FakeGPS, your location may become locked to the last mocked location even after uninstalling the app. This is not a bug and does not mean that your GPS sensor is broken. There are two ways to fix this issue:

First, you can install an app called "GPS Status" from the Play Store and launch it to get a fresh GPS fix. This may need to be repeated multiple times with a 30 minute interval. Alternatively, you can start FakeGPS, set your real location, and leave it for several hours. These steps can also be combined and the issue should disappear within one or two days.

For devices that are rooted, it is possible to mock locations without enabling the "Allow mock locations" option. This can be done by using a file manager app like Root Explorer to move the FakeGPS apk file to either /system/priv-app or /system/app (for older versions of Android). The apk file's permissions should also be changed to rw-r-r and the device should be rebooted. If the apk file disappears after reboot, it means that the device has S-ON mode enabled and the /system folder is restored after each reboot. Users can search for how to switch their device to S-OFF mode for more information.

If the FakeGPS apk file cannot be found in /data/app, it may be located at /mnt/asec/ru.lexa.fakegps/1.apk. In this case, the file should be copied and renamed to /system/priv-app/ru.lexa.fakegps.apk.

Finally, it's important to note that this app is provided "as is" and the developers cannot be held responsible for any usage by end users. The app is free with limited functionality and is intended for testing purposes only. Users are encouraged to be original and SEO-oriented when using the app.
