At this time we don't think Niantic is using that data, but it could be implemented in the future and will also be another flag. The emulator also does not have varying sensor data (like accelerometer and compass data) which is used in the calculation of the Unknown6 digital signature. This also may be true on the phone, but I think you probably have a constant non-zero value rather than just zero which is what Nox reports. On an emulator, the gps info is passed in externally making it look more authentic, however it may not have altitude data which we suspect Niantic is already using to flag spoofers.

Also if you ever get your device flagged, you'll have to work around spoofing your device id and imei and possibly wipe out your phone to avoid other accounts getting flagged and banned. On a real phone you have more authentic looking hardware, but the location spoofing is easier to detect if the 'mock locations' flag is on. With that in mind, there are advantages and disadvantages to both. Keep in mind there are a lot of unknowns at this time about how Niantic chooses accounts to ban. Other factors still apply like phone sensor data Now we want to configure the device properties.īy default, you can see that just setting the 'device' and 'manufacturer' doesn't overwrite all the device identifiers Niantic could look at (and I know they do, I've seen the packet captures): Īn example packet captured on Nox from PokemonGo with the masked device info: Įdit: Please keep in mind this is not complete protection. Install Device Faker as an APK or through the Xposed Installer downloadsĮnable it in the Xposed Framework Modules menu: Device Faker seems to come with a lot of invasive ads. Standard installation seems to work fine on Nox, but occasionally will get hung up and require a reboot. Load up the apk into your emulator however works best for you. Load up your Xposed installer APK and install the framework Turn Root on (and for good measure, change the manufacturer and name of your device) Get to Nox's settings by clicking on the little cog in the upper right corner: I'm not encouraging abuse of the app or game of any kind.įirst let's set up your emulator properly.
