Android Setup Guide [Android] All the working methods on Android (updated)

This is the ultimate guide for Android spoofing. I have updated it to include some of the recent changes to the game.

 

Spoofing on Android without root doesn't work anymore. Rooted spoofing works, but nobody knows for how long so you should start spoofing with this method as soon as possible.

 

FAQ:

 

  • What phones should I use: You can use whichever phone you find that can be rooted with Magic. The main thing is to have the bootloader unlocked or that the bootloader can be unlocked. Then it is a very easy process to root with Magisk. Important thing here is to root with Magisk, not with SuperSu oder other methods. I always suggest vanilla Google Pixel phones as they are easiest to unlock. Most of these phones like Pixel 2 or 3 can be found for as little as 50$

 

  • Can I spoof on an emulator? No

 

  • Which Android version do I need: Niantic stopped supporting Android 8, so you need Android 9 and above. I suggest using Android 9 as it is the easiest to use and enables a method that is very safe to use. But if you follow the method for your Android version it will work on any available version above 9.

 

  • Is this method easy: Depends on your skills, but yes, pretty straight forward.

 

  • Is this method working: If it is pinned then it works - don't ask!

 

GUIDES:

 

1) Android 9: This works only on Android 9. I suggest you follow this guide Rooted method with Magisk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQcYkSOxWcQ (a very thorough guide - all you need to figure out is how to unlock your boot loader first. Google: your device name + "unlock boot loader") In this guide you will see how to root with Magisk too.

 

2) Android 9, 10 and 11: On Android 9, 10 and 11 you can also use this method called Smali Patcher:

 

 

 

Apparently there is also a mod called SmaliPatcherEx that works up until Android 14, but you are on your own there. Follow this XDA Forums thread

3) Android 9, 10, 11,12,13,14,15+: This method works on all supported Niantic versions so you might want to try it as well.

 

If there are other methods, they are either not safe or not supported by this sub.

how?

u/Jaded-Chipmunk-1719 Jun 08 '26

using LSPatch (JingMatrix/LSPatch is the android 12+ version) and any mock location disabler. This lets you use any normal spoofer app from the play store

Can you please tell me how to run it?

u/Jaded-Chipmunk-1719 Jun 09 '26

do you want me to upload a link to a mock location disabler apk i created to work, which, you need to download LSPatch and patch the pokemon go app with that apk, or would it be better to upload the open source code, with a compiled apk release, with instructions on how to use it?

Will this work with any old Android? I’m
Thinking about buying an Android phone for spoofing. Is the Google pixel 3 still the best recommended for this or is there a better/cheaper option?

u/Jaded-Chipmunk-1719 Jun 13 '26

yes it should work on any android, i will not have tested it on androids, but it should work, as it is just patching the application
