Galaxy A50 Mock Location is On Smali patcher - Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I'm trying to spoof on my Galaxy A50 (SM-a505W). I've rooted it successfully, etc., but the smali patcher doesnt seem to hide mock locations being used from pokemongo (for instance). When I start the GPS joystick, the Android OS pops up with a message "Mock location is on". When I go in the game, the real location is being used, I can use the GPS joystick to move, but get pulled back to real location.
I used this guide and did everything but TWRP step (not needed): https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-fake-location-android-gps-spoofing/
I successfully spoof my location on my Pixel. Doing the same steps with my Galaxy isn't working. Only difference I see is in Magisk where the Pixel has RAMDISK=YES and Galaxy has RAMDISK=NO. So on my Galaxy I have to boot from recovery to ensure I don't lose root (volume up + power when booting).
I'm using Android 11 on both devices. I'm at a loss. My only lead is that the Galaxy phone gives an OS message of "mock locationl is on" whereas the Pixel devices doesnt once the GPS joystick is started.

Checking the link you followed, they said that it is best used on stock android or close to it
And based on your experience, it worked on pixel because it is basically stock while it didn't work on one ui
Try using GSI maybe it might resolve your issue

try following this: https://www.howtogeek.com/795277/ho...,and tap “Pause” on the Fake GPS notification.
I have tested an app before (which didn't need to use root) to spoof google map location
I kinda forgot what app is that but based from what I remember, it is close to this

GSI=Generic System Image? I found this link after a quick search: https://source.android.com/docs/setup/create/gsi
Any suggestions for what GSI to use for Galaxy A50 and where to find? I'll roam around in the meantime. Never used a GSI, yet...

you may try running MIUI/Oxygen OS/Pixel(directly from pixel phones not PE/ and other OEM roms using sGSI to your samsung A50 search for Nipon GSI or try to use community built GSIs https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/treble-enabled-device-development-a-ab-roms.7260/
For flashing GSI, follow this guide https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLynfb23W3Uov5n_Y3ooM4gz3IF1wI6ggo
Just follow the guide for the GSI you want to use

5T would rooting gain access to Samsung gear and control Gear 2 (R280) & Gear 360?

5T would rooting gain access to Samsung gear and control Gear 2 (R280) & Gear 360?
I've looked all over for a tutorial.
TIA.
Yes it should. I assume your problem is these apps don't show up for you in the app store or they say they aren't compatible with your device? I had that issue with my 6T and my Gear S3. If that is indeed the case you just need to root with Magisk and use:
Magisk Hide Props Module
That module will let you change your device fingerprint to a certified one or something else if necessary. I can test this theory tonight on a rooted 5T with this module if you know what apps you are looking for. (I know what apps are needed for my Gear S3)
Both Magisk and that Module are installed in TWRP. However that module is activated and run from a terminal emulator on the phone. Personally I use this one:
Terminal Emulator
Once running that type:
su <--Hit enter, hit ok when Magisk asks, this will give terminal emulator root.
Now type:
props <--This runs the module you will now get menus choose pick certified fingerprint. It should be pretty self explanatory from here. Any questions ask.
Normal Magsik stuff I recommend hiding Google stuff from Magisk and renaming it with a random name.
Yea, Tried using Wear but doesn't find the R-280 or Gear 360. I remember a modded Gear apk a while back but it didn't work non-root.
So I should root. Is there a good tutorial link that incorporates this props list in the process? Or what rom would be good for this?
I've fairly familiar with the rooting process but it's been a bit.
Thanks for your help.
I've found on several devices now, that sometimes, my cars, headsets, watches, may not pair if the device has been on for some time. A restart and all the sudden everything connects no issue. My Gear S3 is no exception. Restart the phone and my watch and all the sudden it finds it. Your location can be off (my is always off except when using navigation), but those apps do need location permission.
Your best bet is to use FunkWizard's Guide. It doesn't have the props module stuff in it, however once TWRP is installed and you flash magisk, it's just reboot once so magisk will be installed, fully, and then go back to recovery. Then flash the module, then flash busy box. You'll be good to go. (I did realize I left out an important piece of information, that module needs BusyBox to work. You can get that here at the bottom of this post. <-- That BusyBox installer is also installed in TWRP. )
As for ROMs I use Lineage on everything. The privacy guard is the big seller for LOS for me. However that props module works in OOS, on the 5T I used it until LOS came out, back when it was first released. Also used it on my 6T until LOS was fully working with my watch. So all this stuff should work fine in OOS if you want to stay "stock".
Hmm. Got a Havoc installed and Magisk 19. "props not found" when typed in terminal after giving SU permissions. Any ideas?
Also, Anyone know where to download the older Samsung Gear apks or what apps to use for pairing the devices I mentioned?
Thanks again!

When you go into Magisk go to Modules in the menu, does the MagiskHide PropsConfig and BusyBox appear under Modules? I would guess they do not if "props" does not work.
Have you ever used APK Mirror ? It is a very handy site sometimes. It's from Android Police, so at least it's not a completely unknown source. That's not to say you shouldn't use direct sources whenever possible.

What do I do now? I have Magisk running busybox and props.
Galaxy Wear doesn't find my watch. Isn't there an older version available that might?

I don't know that version would help, but you can try other versions on ApkMirror if you want. I know even in stock form connecting my watch sometimes takes some persistence. Sometimes it takes rebooting both devices to get it recognized, sometimes it just a matter of going back and forth and scanning multiple times. It basically never finds it the first time. Been through it many of times, as you can't just reconnect a the watch after a clean install, it's always completely reset the watch and reconnect as a new device.

until we get a 64 bit kernel, it'll stay 32. i want to build a 64 kernel cause i want to bring ubuntu touch to this phone, that requires a 64 bit boot image, if we are to use erfan's (only method for android 9 devices rn)
Thanks man.
Managed to get magisk working with this rom..alongside twrp
Simply install latest magisk canary APK (284). Give it super user when it asks and restart the app
Then when clicking install...it gave me option of direct install (make sure recovery is selected). It should install successfully
I then rebooted to bootloader and to get to twrp hold volume up after selecting recovery and dont hold anything to boot back to Los..
Can't share my boot image if that helps anyone

I gave it a try. It did indeed let me patch directly. It was very unstable. Things asking for su multiple times and not remembering my choice, certain modules not installing, and I always seemed to lose root entirely after rebooting

yup... sorry, forgot to post... I assumed it was after installing modules.
Lockscreen not work for me, in all gsi roms.
Only stock works.
rom works great, feels like a new phone.
model XT1952-4.
not working unfortunately is the FM radio.
based on the error message when trying to install FM apps, it looks like the kernel driver was not included in the rom?
I can deal with the fingerprint not working, it would be really nice to get the FM driver included so I don't have to use data.
Overall the phone is so much better with this rom, Thank You!!!!
Hi, probably a stupid question, considering I'm new: what does this differ from the Lineage OS instructions for Moto G7 Play at their web site? I mean, why shouldn't I stick with their instructions?
I just want to understand what is at stake here (again, I'm new at this world of smartphone os's)
I'm really interested in replacing Android (which I like, but it's... Google ) and all carrier bloatware stuff by a free OS.
EDIT: Nevermind. I've just realized that it isn't for the G7 Play, it's for G7 only. Sorry about this (maybe useful for other newbies like me)
Thanks for all the work
Everything seems stable been using on daily driver for 2 days now. Only issue is bluetooth audio not working. I'm wondering if the Motorola face unlock app would work however current version isn't available.

I'm using this on a Moto g⁷ Play in the USA, currently it's pretty stable. As for what's at stake, you lose access to Bluetooth audio, fingerprint & faceunlock unless you have SD card formated as portable storage and manage to get magisk working. There's a fix for Bluetooth Audio with magisk or ADB but I don't remember what the command was. Also as for magisk you should be able to fix atleast faceunlock because Motorola uses an app for it.

phone no longer working because of trying to install magisk but I'll be trying to fix with LMSA and then using @PoochyX's instructions tomorrow
Edit: LMSA is now Rescue and Smart Assistant, I just tried to restore it with this but it needs to be on stock firmware to restore.

Why not just boot into bootloader mode and fast boot stock firmware to recover your device ?

Hi,
From your experience which GSI is better for MOTO G7 Play 1952-2:
Havoc or Lineage ?
It depends on what u trying to do exactly if u a heavy Magisk user u want to stay away from lineage and use havoc since magisk plays well with it if u don’t care about magisk and just want a simple root then this rom be a good experience for other then rom WiFi portal issues this rom it’s excellent cause it’s the only one with the notch fix if that fix was easily implemented out this rom and could be used with another GSI that would of been fantastic...

Thank you for your reply.
I favor stability and performance over Magisk.
In my case, do your recommend Lineage as my best option to try?

Some app issues with LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10) Galaxy S8+ dream2lte

I have some issues with certain apps on an unrooted Galaxy S8+ Exynos running LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10.0) with TWRP recovery installed.
I own a Galaxy Watch Active, and I attempted to install the Galaxy Wear app from the Play Store and opened it, and got a 'Operating System on your phone has been modified in an unauthorised way' error. I also own Galaxy Buds+ which I need to pair as well (using standard bluetooth with them for now). How do I fix this issue? (bear in mind I'm not rooted)
The HSBC UK app is also messing around a bit, every time I open it and click the checkbox next to 'I accept the terms and conditions', it reboots my phone and crashes the app. Is this a general Android 10 issue with support for the HSBC app, or an anti-custom ROM move from HSBC? And if this is the case, how would I fix this too?
A more general issue is that Google Pay isn't working. It says my phone isn't supported to make payments in-store via NFC because it has been rooted (it hasn't been rooted, just installed a custom ROM). I didn't pass the SafetyNet test. It was installed with gapps by the way.
The least important issue is the Transport for London app, which says that my phone has been tampered with and is no longer supported by TfL and the app closes. Any way to trick the app into thinking I am not running a custom ROM?
Thank you so much for reading and I'd really appreciate your help! Thanks!
Did you manage to find a fix for the HSBC UK app reboot/crashing problem? I am having the same issue, but on Havoc OS running Android 11 rooted with Magisk.

Can LineageOS ROM be identified and blacklisted by apps?

Recently, I installed lineageOS 18.1 on my mi mix 2 (Chiron), and tried running a professional network app called Blind. however, I was met with LiAPP error that said it detected my device as root, and that it would terminate the app.
I saw a similar thread here also discussing how blind was not working with custom roms
Blind app is detecting root with Magisk Hide
I've got an app I'd like to use that somehow keeps detecting root. It's called Blind (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamblind.blind) I've also got Pokemon Go installed, but that works just fine. Not problems with Magisk Hide...
forum.xda-developers.com
and it seems that it's an arms race between hiding custom ROM / root and LIAPP security.
What is even more interesting is that to resolve the issue, I only needed to switch from lineageOS to crDroid (both android 11), and blind worked fine after I switched. I did nothing to hide my unlocked bootloader, this leads me to think that it is literally only detecting the ROM itself and black listing lineageOS. Blind also works with PixelExperience.
So my question is, given my experience, it seems that the solution to the above thread isn't actually to hide root/bootloader with magisk, but rather maybe hiding the part of the phone that identifies its own hardware and OS version and presenting it as a regular android device with manufaturer rom. Is there a good way to do this? I seem to recall some people changing such identifiers from their phone in the early days of google assistant to a pixel identifier to access google assistant features, but I can't quite track down what it was and the results that I did find did not mention how to change OS id, only hardware ID.
Thanks!

Question [rooted device] Galaxy wear 4 not connecting

I was recently able to root my Oneplus 9 Pro, after getting all my data back on getting my device at least usable I decided to try and set back up my watch. I keep being unable to connect. I've blocked galaxy manager/wear from magisk and I've hit a brick wall any advice?

you most likely need to hide magisk from more (or all) google related apps and services on your device. had the same issue with me. i'm pretty google based sign in would also not be working for you in this situation. the solution for me was to re rehide magisk from everything.
That's what I originally thought and was racking my head against it. This is the only this I can't get working post root. I saw Samsung devices have a Bluetooth patch when searching but no universal patch, at least I can't find one
