No longer works with Lineage 17 (microG) #34

Closed spmp closed 3 years ago

spmp commented 3 years ago

FakeTraveler does not work as expected in LineageOS 17. The app itself works correctly, but I cannot Apply the location. This worked fine on Lineage 16.

Information:

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to main view
  2. Click on Apply
  3. The Stop button never appears and third party apps confirm that the location is not set.
  4. See error log

Expected behavior Pressing the Apply button would result in the button becoming Stop and the location being mocked.

Additional context I am using the microG version of Lineage 17.

Hello @spmp. I only have a phone with LineageOS 16 and without microG or Gapps, so I can't replicate the behavior. The interval of seconds between every mock must be more than 0, so be sure that you don't have a 0 in the second option of the settings of the app.

If that doesn't help, there is another app in F-Droid called PrivateLocation that provides fake locations, maybe you could test if that app works for you. I'm not really sure if that app keeps pushing faked locations or it just pushes the faked location once.

Sorry... I did a quick test, and the interval seems to accept a 0, at least in LineageOS 16.

Hello. This issue is probably fixed with 4c05f6f. A new version will be released in F-Droid in a few days. I'm closing this issue, but feel free to reopen it if the problem is not solved.
