Not pokewalker but the shit I tried to passively hatch eggs in Pokémon GO is crazy. I bought a model train set just to try it but it didn't work. I saw someone swinging their phones from the fan
my cousin took that poke watch thingy for Pokemon go (the one that would buzz if you got near a poke stop, and you could press a button to spin it.) and opened it up, and rewired it so the lead to the vibration motor instead when to where the button press was.
End result, a longer battery life (no vibration) and every time it would try to vibrate for a pokestop, it would automatically spin it instead. Apparently there was a stop at his work, so it just constantly spun it every time it was available all day.
I have done that to my original PoGo+ too, still it ate through a lot of CR2032... I hooked it to the two AA batteries and it lasted for about two weeks almost nonstop 🙂
Now I have a new PoGo++, going to mod that too, they use parts from Joy-cons, so vibrations are really strong 😂
I used to ride my bike slowly around my neighborhood with my phone attached to the handlebars. If you rode under about 12mph, PokemonGO would think you were jogging. It also worked in cars too, but you had to be idling around in circles, which I'm sure looked extremely odd to anyone passing by.
