Not sure why we would need a VPN service. FireOS 5 doesn't appear to be able to report any location data to the non Amazon apps. That's the whole point of us faking location in this instance. Our IPs are already USA based so that eliminates 95% of the need for the VPN when someone is trying to fake a location.
[Fire TV General] moontan33:
Old thread i know :), but has anyone got fake location working with the latest fireos?
[Fire TV General] pryingeyes:
I too would love an answer to that question. I've done all the installations of APK's that are called for, and everything seems poised to work, but shell@montoya:/ $ settings get secure mock_location returns a no such file or directory error.
[Fire TV General] TheFixItMan:
If you want to use such apps you would need to be rooted as the app needs to be in system/priv-app for most GPS faking to work

You could use a vpn if it's just an ip based location check
[Fire TV General] pryingeyes:
No, that doesn't solve it. My IP address, if that was all that was required, is just fine for the purpose and would not need to be revised through a vpn. I'm trying to get my local stations via the DirecTV tablet app. It requires a GPS reading that simply shows you're somewhere in your service area, and specifically prompts you to turn on GPS locations in settings.. The Firestick doesn't provide one, but in the past people have had success by installing the various Google apps and an Android settings app, allowing mock, and then using apps like fake GPS to create a GPS reading and satisfy DirecTV that they really are sitting in their own living rooms. Fake GPS would be the simple answer except that when you open it, it prompts you to go into settings and allow mock. But because that's under Android developer options (not firestick developer options), it can't be accessed. There's no way to repeatedly click on About Phone in the newly-installed settings app to open up D.O., as you normally would on an actual phone.

In the past, installing everything in the OP and then entering that adb command was the solution, but that command no longer works. Just looking for an alternate.
[Fire TV General] Brewsky2018:
Did you ever resolve this with the newer fire sticks?
[Fire TV General] darkw1sh:
I'm also wondering the same my mock locations say on withing adb however I'm getting nothing out of the firetv

Check the module and see if the current Snapchat version is compatible with the module or else the module is the one causing the problem and not the ROM itself.

I ended up fixing the script and flashing it myself as I won't have my replacement device til Friday, so I re-flashed TWRP and flashed the updated ROM. It flashed and is booting up right now. It's at the optimizing screen, sounds promising. :)

Well heck if you get it running i'll be game to reflash tonight. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] KOLIOSIS:
I tried this both with my current set-up & a restored copy of the De-Odexed ROM new,with everything intact,nothing disabled,out-of box,so to speak,less signed-in to my local WI-FI & setting-up the WI-FI Tether.

Neither are working.

I'll still take this ROM as my daily driver every time & twice on Sunday.

If I need to use WI-FI Tether,I'll just restore my stock-rooted back-up & re-install my De-Odexed ROM Back-up when I'm done tethering.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] siraltus:
Confirmed hotspot is busted. I'll take a logcat and look for clues.

---------- Post added at 11:44 ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 ----------

Found the problem. Hotspot starts fine, but fails to initialize the WiFi device:

E/hostapd (22247): nl80211: Failed to connect to generic netlink (nl)
E/hostapd (22247): Failed to initialize driver 'nl80211'
E/hostapd (22247): hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started

This is likely another permissions/context problem (something can't read or execute a file).

[MENTION=1256436]Rydah805[/MENTION], ping me on Hangouts, I need you to check a few SELinux contexts. :)
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] siraltus:
Doublepost, grr.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Rydah:
Maybe I'll just stick with Set_Sparce_Dat next time, there will never be permission errors with that one. LOL I'll hit you on on Hangouts in a few min.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] siraltus:
Yeah, that can be a good idea in the interim. I'm going to restore an odexed ROM backup and parse all the permissions and contexts that your updater-script is setting and compare them to find all the discrepancies. That way we'll have a 100% correct updater-script. But for now the system.img way is probably the safest.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Rydah:
We found the fix. :D looking for other errors with@siraltus
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] siraltus:
OK, I fixed the HotSpot. :D I'm now looking over the entire updater-script so that we can eliminate all permissions/contexts problems once and for all instead of trying to find them every time we discover something not working. Stay tuned!
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] siraltus:
OK, I went through the entire updater-script and made about 30ish corrections (give or take) so all the contexts are now the same as on the stock odexed ROM. I sent the updated file to Rydah805, he should be posting a new version soon.

We should be getting no more unexpected gremlins from this point on. :)
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Rydah:
? good job on that one. Yeah, I'll post update soon. I'm on vacation for 3 weeks, should have time soon though.

Given that Rydah805 is away, I put together an SELinux Context Fix package that will fix Hotspot and all other potential problems caused by incorrect contexts and permissions set on system files. Just flash the attached ZIP in TWRP.

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] headcreepz:
Same thing happened to me
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] siraltus:
I'm suspecting it's the Google apps in the /system partition causing trouble. I deleted them from my ROM before flashing and have had zero problems.

Flash this: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=FE4478E2ABDFD5FC!1074&authkey=!AKUe8GmHlQHpwI0&ithint=file,zip

It's a debloated and debranded version of the ROM that works 100% on my phone. It has no Google apps and no T-Mobile apps (except Device Unlock). It also contains the SD card write fix, stock LG boot and shutdown animations, no boot sound, stock Android emoji font, and SuperSU v2.46 stable. If this version boots, then we know it's the Google/T-Mobile apps causing the problem.

WARNING: DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING IN TWRP BEFORE FLASHING OR THE FLASH WILL FAIL! Flash directly over your existing ROM. You can flash it over your stock odexed ROM, too.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] KOLIOSIS:
Downloading now,will be back on in an hour or so w/results.

Thank you for your efforts/contributions,very much appreciated. :good:
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] siraltus:
Okay, based on KOLIOXDA's recovery log, I figured what was happening.

DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING IN TWRP before flashing my ZIP, or it will fail. Just install directly over your existing ROM (even stock odexed).
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] KOLIOSIS:
This works & it fixed my WI-FI Hotspot/tethering issues.

For those having the hotspot/tethering issues,I just dirty flashed over the Rydah Deodexed ROM,which is in the OP.

If you wipe Cache/dalvik/System /Data in TWRP before flashing,it's not gonna work,you get a "failed symlink: error code7 in TWRP.

Just have the OP De-Odexed ROM Installed & running, then flash the link

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] siraltus:
Glad to hear! Google apps go nuts if you deodex them. Best is to not have them as system apps, as they will just be a waste of space once you install any updates from the Play Store. That's why I removed them.

Again,all credit & THX to Rydah805 & siraltus !

All the issues I had in flashing the fix were due to my error. :o

I was doing a complete wipe before applying the fix & this will not work.

What I was doing was akin to completely wiping a ROM completely away & flashing a patch,which of course nets you a whole lotta nothin'.....................:o ;)

Keep the Rydah ROM,d/l & flash the siraltus ROM/fix,flash over the Rydah ROM WITHOUT wiping & all will work as advertised.

This fix is in place until Rydah returns from vacation & guessing will incorporate the fix into his ROM at that time.

Until then you can either wait until he gets back or flash the fix by siraltus,your choice. :good:

first timer

first time I'll be flashing a ROM other than stock and had a few questions after going through this entire thread...

the OP mentions installing TWRP again after flashing, however throughout this thread it mentions stock recovery was removed? so is installing TWRP after still required?

would this wipe all my current apps/settings if I flashed this?

I'm guessing this would stop OTA updates?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] GraphMatix:

ZDeuce2 thanks for the quick response. I did find a version of xposed-v79-sdk22-arm64 on Google . One more question, if I did want to delete all the internal data and start fresh. Do I just wipe data before installing the ROM through TWRP?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ZDeuce2:
To full wipe you can either slide the wipe slider, which clears data and both caches... The system is wiped when flashing a new rom... Or if you like (my preference) is to advanced wipe, select system, data, dalvik cache and cache. Neither will touch your SD cards...
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Rydah:
Sorry for any confusion. No you do not have to Reinstall TWRP after flashing. I removed the file that removes twrp. Also, unless you yourself wipe the device, your data will still be there. ?

EDIT: looks like something in this ROM changed... I flashed the stock ROM and recorded my MAC address after connecting to Wi-Fi. Rebooted and checked the MAC address again after Wi-Fi connected.

yes, I know for sure that I verified the MD5 after download, but can't recall if I did so after copying it to the microSD. I'm thinking of flashing 1.3.1 just in case 1.3 was a bad download... would you recommend doing a clean flash or dirty is good enough?

EDIT: so I went with a dirty flash since I also dirty flash'd the stock ROM (which works as it should) and it still randomized the MAC address. while trying to fix my TWRP backup issues of my data partition (solved by running e2fsck) I went proceeded with a restore to test my backup. Restore was successful and after booting up it looks like my MAC address is now stable!
