I took a look at the logs and well, in my view they are questionable.
Looks like Oneplus is tracking per SIM-Card the location of the User. And they are quite good with the positions.
The journal-file seems to contain some read-write logs of the corresponding files.
The other two are porbably just hashed values with the location information.
It is a java HashMaps scema:
Code:
???, Wlan-AP_Mac, ????, ???? {network priovider name, GPS-logitude, GPS-latidude,GPS-Accuracy, movment-speed?, bearing, Unix-timestamp? , ???. ???. citycode, description, ???, country, province, city, street, poiname, poiid, floor, coord, mobilecell, district }
The ??? are ids that i cound not get a link to.

I had a look at the application "Oneplus System Service" via AppOps. It had access to "GPS". Even having GPS disabled it was able to get the coordinates. My best guess would either be they are using a backdoor or using Wi-Fi tri-angulation positioning system.
PS: This exists in all the Oxygen Rom. Also checked this behavior in OP2. I am just waiting for @MasterAwesome's stable upload. I'm done with this micro-freezing, bugged OS.
Great...no wonder the phone is so cheap. China subsidized the phone in exchange for NSA type surveillance of Americans / Europeans. ...lol. All jokes aside I hope oneplus has some explanation.

Interesting. I myself never enabled GPS at all. I assume as well they use the Wi-Fi triangulation to get the position. That would explain why they are quite accourate here (I live in a big city). But outside larger citys the area to track is around 3000 meters.
Quite a shame that this is needed in a "System Service" for no obvious reason. DroidWall ftw!
I am waiting as well for the CM builds to be stable to use...
The most thing that buggs me is the video shuttering....

I found this on a French site, by changing the registry you get an extra camera mode that adds current position in the EXIF part of the file!
You need to edit the key : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P9 change from 0 to 1 (P9 is the Geocoding profile).
No need to soft reset, just go into the camera and set to Geocode mode (see capture)
The files get stored in My Documents/POI (maybe so they appear in Tom Tom?).
Anybody know of cool ways to use this feature? Flickr? Googlemaps?
Sorry if this has been covered already!

I think the data is included in the file itself in a special zone that holds info on model of camera etc.
There are some applications that "place" the pictures on maps, I do not know much about this but want to find out! The ideal would be to place them on googlemaps...

P1-P9 are profiles for different camera modes. You'll notice that the "Enable" key is 0 in Profile 9. Change it to 1 and you should be good.
Also found this info on GPS passion, and was going to share, but never found the time....
I did the hack on my Ameo last weekend, and played around with it a little. It is ofcourse quite an amazing feature, and it does impress people that sees it, but given the quality of the camera in the Ameo, I'm not sure how usefull it will turn out to be, I would be a little embarassed to upload any Ameopics to Google at least.
Here is what I've found out sofar, if someone finds that useful.
When you start Camera, you get a new option when you choose your Photomode, called GPS. - This starts up the GPS automatically, and once it gets a fix you are ready to shoot.
The pics you then take are stored in /my documents/my Poi - which is created.
These pics will then have the GPS position included in the Exif data.
Haven't yet found a PPC software that is capable of reading these data, but if you read them with your ordinary pc, you can input them into google Maps (on PPC for instance) and it will take you there.
Picassa will read the data, and you can input them manually into your mapsoftware (the format is: xx yy' zz'' aa bb' cc'') but I would recommend "Panorado Flyer 1.2" which is a great free and small application. It gives you some new options in the context menu, so you just right-click your Gpspicture and choose "show location in Google Maps" - and it opens up Google Earth and takes you there.
There was some discussion on the precission of the GPS Data, actually on this very site I'm pretty sure, maybe the kaiser section(?) , someone noticed the last 2 decimals recorded for latitude and longitude allways were the same, so the precision was less than 100 meters, but the good news is this is not the case with our Athenas, they are very accurate!
I don't think I'm allowed to distribute Panorado Flyer here, but here is the link for you to download it yourself.
Hopefully someone will make a similar app. for PPC, which would make this feature so much more useful.
Here is a link to the free version: http://www.photo-freeware.net/panorado-flyer.php
And here is the commercial and probably more functional version (did not try it, but there is a demo): http://www.panorado.com/en/index.htm
I went to a birthdayparty this week and took a GPSpic inside an apartment on the 7. floor to demonstrate to all how brilliant the Ameo is, got a fix and shot a pic. The pic stinks, but if you want to try Pandora, you should be able to rightclick it and fly over here, even if I downscaled it....
And I just tried myself, and the GPS data did not survive the upload so it does not work, sorry.
Here is a shot of what Panorado rteads for that pic:
works well here
Actually you can use this format directly into Google earth, which is simpler I think:
55,685278 12,584445
Ok Midget, on my setup the GPS data was lost when I d'loaded my own pic from the post.
Also had to try it out on my old uni with an external GPS, but it doesn't have the P9 option, could that be because of the old HTC Camera version (3,00 build 21424) or must it have an internal GPS?
Anyone got the newer Camera version (like the one from the Ameo WM6 - 4.01 build 27598)?

I read recently that US goverment wants to decrease the accuracy of GPS. I wonder if it is the result of this project that I noticed that the inaccuracy has been magnified lately.
So voice searching is wonderful in certain situations (in car).
However, "navigate to nearest taco bell" results in a
"Did you mean..." list of all taco bell in the city, and the list doesn't even include distance from the current location.
Is there a trick to actually let it navigate to the 'nearest' one using distance?

If your gps is working fine then you should get nearest location already. Doesn't need to tell to navigate nearest taco bell, just 'taco bell'. The list must present you the nearest location in order. Check your gps fix timing with gps test and watch it's sat fixing time. this may be inacurate

Tried GPS test, but seems normal. Also the "map" app or "nav" app doesn't have any trouble fixing on current position with tight dot.
But still when searched for 'taco bell' or 'walmart' gives a whole list of places without regard to distance in order.
I don't think I'm bugged out.. just wondering if I haven't triggered the right options to "navigate to nearest".. in one shot instead of having to select form the options.

I went into Maps>Settings>Location Settings>Manage Your Places and found a list of places including "Home".
I tried "Buy coffee when I get to (a few of those places)" and it worked.
"Buy coffee when I get to Target" brought up search results.
I Starred Target and no change.
I'm hoping it just takes some time to sync.

You bring up a good point. I tend to try and fly under the radar as far as location based social apps/tracking (foursquare/check-in type things) so it's entirely possible I've disabled what ever it is that Google Now needs to find me for reminders. Come to think of it, I've not gotten the Public Transit card to work either.
If I were to give Google another piece of my soul, any idea which Location Settings would I need to enable to trigger the reminders and location based cards? Which one's might I be able to leave turned off to keep my whereabouts mysterious?

I keep Latitude off but that's the only one I try to stay away from because it broadcasts where you are to people based on your settings and it's a battery hog.
There are so many settings in maps, and sync, and settings, and ....
I'd go in, poke around for a while and see what your willing to give up.
Hootie Hoo, I've had some success. Enabled the "Report from this device" setting in Google Maps>Settings>Location settings and I got a location based reminder. I believe I asked "Google, remind me to buy a raspberry shake at the nearby Culver's restaurant" No problem at all submitting the request by voice and having the right information come up for approval.
I'll add a couple of caveats. The reminder triggered after I has been in the location for at least 5 minutes or so (and had already ordered the milkshake ) and I happened to be in a location where I was picking up 4G data speed. I think there is defiantly an issue of how fast the phone/app is able to report back to the Google mothership and fire off the reminder as opposed to having the location coordinates processed from within the phone itself. I suppose that might be one more reason you are encouraged to enable the WiFi detection element of location services.
In any event, while currently this is not a particularly smooth and seamless feature, I think as the network builds out and the app matures the Now location reminders have a lot of potential to be an extremely valuable and handy tool.

I gave this another try this morning and it seems to be working
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Introduction:
Fake My GPS allows you to select a custom GPS location that will be seen by apps of your choosing. This module simulates location using the device's built-in location providers and does not require the "mock locations" setting.
Possible uses for this module include:
-Setting your exact location in an area with poor satellite visibility.
-Increased privacy by not sending your exact location to apps that request it.
-Save battery life by reducing polling to the GPS radio.
-And more!
NOTE: You must enable location services to use this module. All location providers are supported (network, GPS, fused)
This module also requires Google Play Services for the maps engine and place picker.
Features:
App blacklisting support (don't send Fake GPS to specified apps)
Doesn't run in the background
Persistent notification message (option to disable it)
Place picker with full text search
Store up to 10 frequently used locations*
Customize map view for either normal, satellite, hybrid or terrain
Altitude faking**
Joystick overlay to simulate live movement in fake location
*You can add a favorite by long-pressing the address info card. Favorites can also be renamed by long-pressing on the favorite item in the list.
**Altitude is calculated using the selected GPS location's elevation data. Essentially, this sets your fake altitude to ground level relative to sea level) for that particular location.

Best fake GPS app I've ever used. But I have a problem, there is reboot loop problem. galaxy s5 g900f 4.4.2 . Thanks.
Nice module! :good:
I also seem to be getting a reboot loop on the Nexus 5 on my second reboot after enabling the module (first reboot was fine).
One suggestion: Would it be possible to have an option to emulate a real GPS's inaccuracy by shifting the reported coordinates around slightly inside a small cicular area around the set coordinate? Maybe also do the same for altitude by shifting the value by maybe 1-2 meters at most?
Posted an update with a fix for the reboot issue. Let me know if it works!
my bad, figured it out!

I think the best way to implement this is making a diff option!
In the moment a user chooses a spot in the map, "Fake my GPS" would read the instant GPS and wifi location values and calculate the latitude, longitude and altitude difference from the fake spot to the real one. After that the fake position would always be a difference between the real position to the values calculated!
I don't know how hard would it be to be implemented, but I can't think any other better way to really fake position (no apps would know the position is fake) because the GPS imprecision and variations would be real.
PS. No reboots on my Nexus 4, 5.1.1

For lat/long, I could see a variance option for a variance radius that takes a value in meters and then chooses a random spot each time the coordinates are updated, within the radius of the chosen point.
Oh, and I too can confirm that reboot loops are fixed. Thanks!

If your device doesn't have an actual GPS fix, it may not report the correct faked location as this module works by replacing the high powered GPS location with coordinates that you specify.
I'm currently working on a way around this - possibly having it work without GPS being enabled, but for now the only way to accomplish location spoofing without using the mock provider is to replace an already fixed location.
Dear developer,
This tool almost works perfectly except when I use joystick to move around on a google map, it doesn't actually move, I have to switch out of the google map app, and switch back in to reflect the location change.
I am running cyanogenmod cm-12.1-20160918-NIGHTLY-trltetmo.zip on my galaxy note 4 t-mobile.
Could you please let me know if there is any solution to this?
Thanks!
EDIT: by the way, I have tried both enable and disable "allow mock locations", and use both "high accuracy" and "device only" GPS mode, no luck in any case.

Google Maps is tied to the Play Services location API, so you must make sure that Google Play Services is not excluded from location spoofing in order to fake your location in Google Maps.

Thank you for the response. If you mean don't exclude Google Play Services from the Fake My GPS app, then that is already set that way, I didn't check any apps in the exclusion list of the spoofing app.
Is there anything else that could go wrong?
Thanks.

The only other thing I can think of relates to one of my previous posts about needing a real GPS fix before spoofing can work. The spoofing actually replaces the real location it receives from the GPS radio so if there is no GPS fix, there is no updated location, and no faked location.
Make sure your device has an actual GPS fix before using spoofing features.
Is it possible to write an app for Stratos/Pace which would use data from GPS to synchronise internal clock? GPS satelites all have atomic clocks on board so the time stamps they send are super precise as that's how triangulation of the position is achieved. I'm wondering if something like this would be at all doable considering all the OS constraints?
Possible, it is. But root is required to change date/time, so probably it wouldn't be that useful...

lfom already has good answers above.
Here is just my 2 cents.
The OS on the watch is Android 5.1, so basically any Android app (for MIPS) works on it.
Android, however, requires an app with system permission to change time, so you need root or make the app a system app.
That being said, I believe the Network Time Protocol (NTP) provides as accurate time as GPS and it's easier to deal with NTP in programming.
There are already a few existing Android apps syncing time using GPS/NTP, but those are not designed for small screens. My favorite one is called ClockSync which utilises NTP, requires Internet access, and works on my rooted watch.
I am on rooted Stratos. This is massively interesting to me. This is basically one of two things I need to get rid of official Huami spyware sending the data god knows where. That shady app always first syncs your health records and only then gets almanac data. If there were a way to do that without them, it would remove a huge dependency on their servers for the future. I mean they can turn off the infra in one year and GPS will be virtually unusable. It'd take forever to get a fix.
@anox, do you have some app for this? I found the only app with aGPS xtra.bin download possibility so far here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by.zatta.agps
They claim it works for Qualcomm chips (but I have no idea what powers Stratos):
aGPS Alamanacs
Derek Gordon maintains a special aGPS almanac for devices using Qualcomm or similar chipsets. This xtra.bin data file is updated every 30 minutes and is located on a content delivery system maintained by the generous donations of ther userbase.

I mean they can turn off the infra in one year and GPS will be virtually unusable. It'd take forever to get a fix.

Interesting idea. Sounds tough, though.
@anox, do you have some app for this? I found the only app with aGPS xtra.bin download possibility so far here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by.zatta.agps
They claim it works for Qualcomm chips (but I have no idea what powers Stratos):

A few others I've tried on my phones are GPS Status & Tool Box and GPS Test. Pace/Stratos has Ingenic M200S chip.
If I remember it correctly, GPS Test runs on my Pace as well, though I've never tried its aGPS data download on the watch. Here's the link. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest
And if anyone also knows how to sync weather data from a custom source into Stratos' sqlite DB, my Christmas would come early this year...

Sounds even tougher.
