Pixel 6A Location

Hi, can we somehow manage to get the location same as the IP we are using?

zynex

What do you mean by that? GPS and IP location is two different things.

i9ex

zynex thats why i am asking this question? Can we do something similar to this https://ibb.co/hZDbkcR

zynex

i9ex Still not sure what you are asking about. GPS is your physical location in the world, while IP location is based on the data from your ISP provider, and is usually the same as the data centre the IP exit. Forget about finding locations related to IP as the do in movies, you can't do that.

No, that's not possible

i9ex

AlphaElwedritsch thank you

i9ex

zynex Yes, I know. The question is simple, I dont know how you are still unsure what i am asking about. I am asking if its possible to change my GPS location to match with my IP location.

AlphaElwedritsch

yes, physically not possible to match both

zynex

i9ex The question was a bit vague, but understand what you where looking for now. But as @AlphaElwedritsch said, you can't :)

You can write a custom GPS HAL that does whatever you like. Only thing is that you'll have to build the OS yourself to use it.

There's Mock Location Apps but this may not work because they require rooting.

Does Graphene allow Mock Locatiin as a developer option?

angela

Yes, you can do it. Just set mock location App in the developer options and then use a VPN and set the location the same as the IP location.

Please don't use this for malevolent purposes.

I am guessing the others said it's not possible out of fear of that, not out of personal ignorance.

angela They also may not have suggested it because it's trivial for apps to detect if mock location is enabled and as a result it's not really considered a robust solution.

Vehicles do not come equipped with GrapheneOS. Probably a privacy concern. I love the degoogled experience. My neighbors nosiness is at a level that requires medical attention so switching to this OS has been the best thing since sliced bread :)
