I own one of the first GNex devices with crappy GPS. I have a GPS in my car, so that wasn't a big problem.
When I started to play Ingress, I used a external BT GPS Receiver (Holux 1000c). It worked very well, also inside of buildings.
Since 1.18 update of Ingress, the game doesn't start if you enable "mock locations" in the dev-options, to prevent cheating. I'm not a cheater and if I would be one, there are much easyer way's to cheat then modifying a external BT GPS.
So, is it possible (with root of course) to use a external GPS without enable "mock locations"?
I have the exact same problem using CM 10.1 nightly for the SGS i9000. I am trying to use a TomTom Wireless GPS MKII as an external GPS Provider. I have found a posting in the development area for this device.

So, it seems like it was possible to use external GPS in CM10 without using "mock locations", but now it isn't anymore. I have to admit, that I do not know whether this is a Cyanogen Mod related issue or a general Android 4.1 upgrading to Android 4.2 issue.
I was installing "Fake GPS location" and copied it to /system/app. It works without "Mock location".
So it's possible to use a different source then the internal GPS. But I don't like to fake my location, that would be cheating.
I'm running AOKP.

I also tried to move the app "Bluetooth GPS" to /system/app but this doesn't work, since this app wants to actively enable "mock locations". Perhaps someone builds an Ingress friendly bluetooth GPS App, that works on rooted phones.
I was looking further for additional information regarding the "gps source" setting and wanted to share my results.
At first I was searching Google and found a lot of forum postings here from people missing this feature but never got an answer what happened to it. (At least as far I can tell)
Then I luckily found the patch which added external GPS support to CM a year ago and with it I found the blog of the developer who has made it.

Cuong - Android and my External Bluetooth GPS patch said:
I've got some questions from users asking if I'm going to port my patch to the latest Cyanogenmod. Since I don't have access to a Nexus device, the patch will probably take some time. I can only test it with an actual device.
I'm also exploring the Windows Phone 8 platform which currently has my attention.

So there are two options: patching for ourselves or beg Cuong to do it for us.
I installed CM9 as a second ROM with Boot Manager.
I changed the GPS provider to the external source, and it works with ingress, without problems. Now I can set my resonators accurate again.
The only thing I have to do is reboot, to activate the other ROM. Thats okey for me.
Hm, no Boot Manager for my Samsung
I went back to CM10, my TomTom MK2 works like a charm in Ingress.

First, you have to pair your Bluetooth GPS Mouse with your phone.
Then you have to go to the location settings in system settings. Scroll down! There is the option to choose "GPS Source".
(I hope, I described the options with the right words, since I have a german phone, it says "Standordzugriff" and "GPS-Quelle")

Oh, I see. This feature is missing from CM 10.1, but is available in CM10.
So is there any solution for those of us either without CM at all (rooted but native Nexus 7), or with CM 10.1?
I am having this problem too, for gNex, now even if I use CM10.1 it still dont have GPS source selectable
It only works with CM10, not with 10.1
Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk 2
I see.... CM 10 seems is a bit old.. someone has posted the GPS patch source, https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/e1fe2f45aff536402a192b9fbeadea20d91d15e5 , does any one know how to use it? I can't find res/values/arrays.xml on my phone.
Anyone got an idea how to solve it for cm 10.1 ?
I really want to use my external bt mouse over the crappy inbuilt gps receiver
Seems like there are no updates on this topic, are there?
I also miss this (to me) killer feature... :crying:
Hopefully it will be added to CM10.1 soon

i have exact the same problem. my internal gps is broken and i can´t use the bluetooth gps device on my lg p880 | cyanogenmod 10.1.2.
i won´t use any cheating tricks to get it to work, so looks like, that we have to wait
That's something that I can't grasp... I'm trying to use those FakeGPS apps for android, but to make them work without the Mock Locations enabled they say I need to move them to system/priv-app folder... Someone please have mercy on me and explain how to do it. I'm moving the apk file and it's an installer, obviously. What to do then? Tried to install it from there, it installs as a normal app and still requires Mock Locations. If I don't reinstall it from this new location, then the shortcut on the home page just doesn't work... i just can't grasp the concept. Recommendations with the apps come so that as if it's a well known and obvious thing how to do it - not obvious to me at all for some reason. You, on the other hand, have done it apparently. So maybe you could explain to me what is that's so obvious and I'm missing. Please...

Could you kindly advise how exactly did you manage Fake GPS location app to work from /system/app? Is it Fake GPS Spoofer? I move it to /system/priv-app (4.4, phone's rooted and all) and when further click on the icon it keeps saying "Not Installed"... Is there some simple something I'm missing, do not delete the right folder or something?

Just wanted to report that although the new Copilot updates no longer work with the nook color (imei issues), the Sygic Navigation app (formerly Sygic Aura) now works as it no longer requires internal GPS. I used it on my Nexus S before I took the phone back and then asked them to switch devices. I now have it running on the Nook Color using the Beta 3.1 with the .32 overclocked kernel. The device code used for Sygic is generated from the sd card being used. I also still use the older Copilot apk that doesn't require imei. Copilot works well too and probably better with more up to date maps. And $5 is a better price than what Sygic Navigation costs.
Can u describe exactly how u made Aura run on your NOOK?
With version 3 I didnt have any luck.I installed app from market, I downloaded maps, but when it starts, it gets me back to homescreen.

You need to use an external GPS, enable bluetooth, and also download GPS bluetooth provider free from the market. Turn on your GPS device, enable bluetooth on the Nook Color, and then start the GPS bluetooth provider app, and finally launch Sygic Navigation. It should open now.
I'm using Bluetooth GPS and an external GPS. I also bought and loaded Sygic but, when I start Sygic, the screen goes black, you can see the arrow in the bottom tray then the app closes and returns to main screen without any explanation.

Is bluetooth enabled? Did you start bluetooth gps? Did you get a satellite fix? Differences between your setup and mine: I'm not running off sd card, running 3.1 beta with the .32 oc kernel. It is my guess that running CM7 off the sd card is causing the problem.

Question - I've got Sygic loaded and it FC with the older version. Opened it after reading your post (thanks) and it worked - asked for email pw etc. Then it asked for product code - ?? I think this one was bought ( might have been free - don't remember) but it came through the Android market and as such does not come with a product number ( looks like a registration number). Is this number located somewhere in a file folder?
Thanks for any help.

First, get titanium backup. Completely uninstall flash via TB, then reboot. Download flash from the market and it should work fine.
If after that you end up with flash audio but no sound, then you need to get an app called " root explorer " and edit a system file to fix it. I can't remember off the top of my head which file and where but that issue was discussed in the liquid 3.0 thread, maybe 3.1, not too sure now.

I found the reason apps are saying "not compatible" with your device. Apparently my google profile has my phone and two other randomly named devices on it... Anyone know how to get rid of the useless ones? I cannot for the life of me find where to delete these device profiles...

I haven't been able to delete them, but you can hide them from device lists in the Market and they won't give you that problem
on the webpage, click on the settings wheel in the top left corner --> my market account --> settings tab, click edit on any devices you don't use --> hidden in menus (under visibility), and make sure you hit update
I'm trying that, but this is absolutely ridiculous. There are three devices listed, and when I click to hide two of then, only one is hidden and the other two show, no matter what....
Turns out that this is a known issue to google, they're working on a fix. Hopefully soon, and hopefully the cause (and fix) behind all this.
Hi, I'm new here, but I figure my question is as good as any other. I recently became proud owner of the Xperia Neo MT15, which is now rooted and thoroughly protected, but I noticed something about the GPS and Network Location that bothers me - each time I enable either one, it asks me to agree to anonymous data collection.. Well, I don't agree, and I see no reason why I should be denied the features, because of my belief. So my question is this - does anyone know which system apk controls this? I would really like to impose it some restrictions using Pdroid as to stop the data collection. Any input is appreciated, thanks.

Nope. Not the culprit, since I don't even have it. I do however notice a lot of calls for Network Location from com.sonyericsson.learningclient(which sounds logical) and devicemonitor(which sounds just suspicious). They start actively operating as soon as I enable GPS. I've disabled the access to most things for both and set GPS and Network Location data to be served as random. I don't think there are any other moles.
It's weird, because they both sound so harmless, when I look at their descriptions in the list you linked to. Maybe there's something else. I'll see if I can find anything.
Sony has a particular feeling to collect data .
Soon you will discover also that the sony Gps will not works without data at all, because is affected by a bug, and it drops every 5 minutes if you don't have data enabled.

Holy... why did I ever buy a SE in the first place?! I love the brand, and I've loved every phone I've had/used (those include K750, K850, P1i). I'll try to see if I have the 5 min. bug.
EDIT: I'm not sure if i observed the behavior or not. I didn't go anywhere, but stayed on the window with the GPS and nav software on. The software never displayed a loss of connection. I did notice the GPS icon went to it's unfixed state twice for a split second, 5 minutes apart, but I guess I'm supposed to be on the move to notice the issue. All the while learningclient would call for GPS location and be fed random data. The wifi and data connections were both disabled. I'm going for a drive, I'll test and report back.

I don't remember deleting IddAgent. The other two I track using PDroid. I just enable its notifications for everything and I watch what does what. learningagent seems very keen on getting GPS location, while it's on, and device monitor calls network location every once in a while, I see no good reason why.
If you are able to unlock your bootloader, and install a custom kernel like inteks, or nightelf ones (void guarantee), question about collecting data while you enable gps just dissapear. I dont know if there is a easier way.
If I wanted to throw away my warranty, I would have done it the day I bought it. I know a custom Rom would solve the issue, but I don't want to risk it with the warranty, not yet anyway.

I've had the same issue. My searching for GPS lock sign would not even turn on with Jedi rom. And with cleanrom, the gps lock sign would come online but it would not lock. I tried the jellybeans rom, and finally it worked. One thing i've found different with the jellybeans rom against the others were that if you go to location settings, you can see the VZW location option, whereas for the other two it wasn't there. I don't have this option checked by the way.
Just giving you my 2 cents based on my experience. Maybe it could fix your problem if you install jellybeans rom and then follow the instructions suggested by the other guys here.
Have you tried Pimp my rom and replaced the GPS files with it?
Also you need to go in Settings, under accounts click your Google account, go to location access and make sure it is turned on for your phone. I have flashed roms before and done everything except check that and for some reason it should then on when you turn on your Location and Google search under GPS but it occasionally won't on the first lock on some roms.

It may just be an issue with Hangouts, however I would lean more toward a AOKP issue. You could download GPSTest to replace the to replace the AGPS data..... It may just be a AOSP bug with Hangouts, however this js the first I'm hearing of it.

This module makes android apps believe Wifi is connected.
Handy in situations where there's a (non wifi) connection, but some app won't do its thing unless it's on wifi. (android running in virtual machine / emulator, 3g but no wifi around, usb 3g modem connection, usb reverse tethering ...)
This means you can for instance access wifi-only features while on 3g.
If you're used to iOS, it's the android equivalent of 3g Unrestrictor or My3G.
Tested on Android KitKat 4.4.2, play store and many others working over ppp !

For android 5.0+ try v1.9 (thanks pyler)
Nougat
Looks like there are issues with nougat and later. Dev help welcome, if someone gets it working please share so others can benefit. Create a PR on github if you have a patch.
Installation
Just be safe, backup your ROM.
Install Xposed Framework:
Get installer from repo.xposed.info
Open Xposed Installer->Framework->Install
Reboot
Install FakeWifiConnection.apk
Open Xposed Installer->Modules, tick FakeWifiConnection
Reboot
How to use
No app is faked by default.
Open FakeWifiConnection app to enable/disable hack (master switch) and select which apps to fake. Changes take effect immediately (background apps need a reboot).
Try just faking the app you're interested in first.
If that doesn't work then try faking everything, save and reboot:
Some apps use other apps/services internally, which might need faking as well. For example many games use Google Play Services. Usually you can find out by looking at the logs (see debugging) see what tasks get activated while the app is running.

Project's working for you ? Have something cool to report ? Post your story !
Useful feedback about an app that's not working is valuable. It could well be that this app needs a tweak that's not there yet, and once it's added not only this app will work but also all the other apps that rely on the same mechanism. If you find your favorite app doesn't work report it if it's not mentioned already. Describe what happens, how/what doesn't work. Give details about your setup, especially if it's something unusual (android version ...), how to replicate the problem etc.

I did a quick test but unfortunately it doesn't work with the xfinity tv go app. It seems to make the app think it's corrupted and wants me to reinstall.
I think a whitelist would be a good addition to this module! ?

If you know how to modify apks, you can decompile it and make the network connectivity check always return true. It's what I did and it works fine (and no, I will not share the apk for obvious reasons).
I tried it on the Triiing! app (free calling over Wi-Fi for Telenet ISP customers), but it still detects that it isn't connected to Wi-Fi.
I've been searching for months for this app, if only it'd work, but I have faith in the developers around here.

Glad it works :laugh:
For the whitelist, do you mean a way to select which apps are faked ?

that's exactly what i meant. this should eliminate having to reboot everytime you want to enable/disable the mod, which can be a pain. there are also apps out there that would use higher quality streams on wifi vs. mobile data and not having a whitelist would certainly use more data if someone is on a limited data plan. hopefully you will consider this. thanks again!

Yup, working now over here. Great module, I've been waiting for months for this!

Installing this module causes this module (http://repo.xposed.info/module/tw.fatminmin.xposed.networkspeedindicator) to break.
Oooo, I asked for something like this a month or so ago. Some apps need a wi-fi or mobile data connection, and don't work with Bluetooth via PdaNet+. Facebook Messenger (although Facebook works), Words with Friends don't work, and Gameloft games (and others, probably) that need that "additional file" to download don't work with BT/PdaNet, so these apps with my wi-fi tablet aren't available to me sometimes.
I'll give this a try and let you know how it works for me.
Alright, v1.3 is out with user interface to select apps :
Every app is faked by default. Open app to enable/disable hack and select which apps to fake. Changes take effect immediately (background apps might need a reboot).

Nice! Working well! Just one suggestion...maybe add a loading bar when the UI opens? I thought the app was frozen when it was loading my list of apps. No biggie though.
I think someone already mentioned this but it is not playing well with another xposed module Network Speed Indicator. The network speed indicator is no longer showing on the status bar when your module is enabled.
Thanks again!!
EDIT: Ok some more info on the 2nd part of my post...i disabled another module (Tinted Status Bar) and the network speed indicator is back. So I'm not sure what's breaking what lol.

It works fine on Samsung S4 4.3, thanks.
The only thing I noticed that does not work well is that when the wifi is completely turned off, some apps can see that the wifi is turned off and do not go forward. I solved the problem by leaving the wifi on and not connected (obviously) but this trick consumes more battery. Can you fix this?
Thank you and congratulations for the very useful app.

This module makes android apps believe Wifi is connected.
Handy in situations where there's a (non wifi) connection, but some app won't do its thing unless it's on wifi. (android running in virtual machine / emulator, 3g but no wifi around, usb 3g modem connection, usb reverse tethering ...)
Tested on Android KitKat 4.4.2, play store working over ppp !
Added user interface:
Every app is faked by default. Open FakeWifiConnection app to enable/disable hack temporarily (master switch) or select which apps to fake. Changes take effect immediately (background apps might need a reboot).
I didn't have any luck with HackConnectivity.apk and couldn't find a better way, so ended up writing this. (maybe HackConnectivity works with older android version ?).
Feedback Welcome !
I can only test on my setup, if you find some other app/android version works/doesn't work feel free to post.
Installation
Just be safe, backup your ROM.
Install Xposed Framework:
Get installer from repo.xposed.info
Open Xposed Installer->Framework->Install
Reboot
Install FakeWifiConnection.apk (repo.xposed.info/module/com.lemonsqueeze.fakewificonnection)
Open Xposed Installer->Modules, tick FakeWifiConnection
Reboot
From now on connectivity is forced to wifi. Open app to change settings.
Source code: github.com/lemonsqueeze/FakeWifiConnection
Debugging: see README
Kudos to rovo89 for awesome Xposed Framework !
UI code by hamzahrmalik, thanks !

Its such a very Great App !
Great idea, unfortunately it's not working for me. Maybe it only works on KitKat (I'm using JB 4.3)? Or maybe it's the app I'm trying to fake (UPC Horizon Phone) but it just keeps telling me I'm not connected to a WiFi network - even with WiFi switched on as someone suggested.
Great app though and good to see it's working for others.
Kind of works
I have been using the Network Spoofer app which has no trouble with the Play store, but has no way to automatically start in WiFi mode that I am aware of.
This app does exactly what I need it to do but it does have an issue with the Play store. Access to the store works, however when downloading it always says "waiting for network".
Very good module, let me ask, could be added an option to be in some specific wifi apps understood as if in 3g? I ask this because I use a wifi modem to share internet and wifi that wanted to follow the rules to put 3g, I think it would be a great addition to this module or to create another based on this
Thanks

Ive been waiting for well over 2 years for something like this
I was getting pretty close to doing some research on the finer points about how androids wifi works on the lowest layers, and trying to make my own app or now a module that would help me do what I want to make happen, I havent started that yet...
I have a few questions after playing around with the module.
Firstly, what i want to make happen on my droid is being able to use the hotspot connection full time (its the only ISP ive had for about 2 years now, and having that active, any method or driver that works idc, is absolutely necessary. Now, I want to use aps like Allcastto stream to my 360, or chromecast streaming from my phone, also apps like, or... or another decent one is Signal Tracker
these all refuse to even start up if wifi tether is on and wifi is off. Now i was able to use
WiFi Tether Router to work exactly like ive been trying to explain, it worked for about 2 days and now i cant figure out what I did to break that. I set the router settings to use HostApd as the main method. Id first make sure wifi itself was active ad not connected to anything, then i would enable wifitetherrouter, and the android wifi connection wold be uneffected and stay on working fine. While this is going the routher app works as descripbed... being a hotspot wth this app is no different from the built in wifiap.
my question is, does this xposed module do anything like this, or am i way off and still going to be searching for how to do thihs? I played around with it trying to use allcast and couldnt get it to do anything..
how hard would it be exactly to trick android into thinking the devices connected to your phone while its a hotspot are also able to be connected to over the regular wifi methods.. I know its possible because like i mentioned, i saw this happening using wifitetherrouther with my own eyes.. I had my laptop and xbox both on my phones hotspot, and actually both were downloading something as well.. then I startedallcast and TADA instead of complaining theres no wifi connection, it found my 360 onthe network in about half a second.. i was able to stream video in high def to my tv
no problem.
Just have a quick question - anybody using this module has seen any increase in battery life? Basic premise being that apps would think Wi-Fi is connected so would not wake up the phone radio directly
