That has already been resolved, but can't be tested for obvious reasons.

The only difference was trying to weed out pokemon that wouldn't be captured was actually weeding out ones not yet "discovered"

The typical bot code uses a more "try and handle a failure later" method than I prefer to use because ignoring errors is a bit wasteful.
[Android Apps and Games] _greenie:
Thanks again! I'm kinda interested in all this stuff so i always love learning about it.

I hope you dont mind my suggestions, let me know if I can be of any nonprofessional assistance anytime.
[Android Apps and Games] yanniclord:
Any news about the GPS Joystick yet? I installed the app as system app, enabled it in XPOSED, enabled it in Mock Location dev settings, and yet my character stands in the nothingness saying that it cannot find my GPS, though it worked some builds back, 2.2 if i remember correctly. And it's not just me, others have also said they have this issue.
[Android Apps and Games] mazzierfc:
With it being a API update - I assume this can then be changed again in pokemok to fix the app?

I noticed at exactly the same time the app went down so did skiplagged.com, I had been using this as a way to locate specific pokemon alongside running the last version of pokemod KO (before BETA folder clearout)

Running FakeGPS currently works flawlessly. I haven't tried any other third party methods/apps than yours
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
The joystick will still be available, but it seemed to be more effective to remove any unnecessary stuff for the time being (and to prevent that urge to attempt using it). As for it being an API update, it is less an update and more that it was locked down to prevent third party interaction. Bots may be dead for a long time.
[Android Apps and Games] kada company:
good app.
[Android Apps and Games] shashanksetty:
hi dev... any idea on when you'll be able to adapt the app to the new API?
[Android Apps and Games] steve81uk:
Looks like a great app, I just think am a little late as does not seem to work for me.

Using on a rooted galaxy S4, but getting nothing, Set as mock locations and turned off the GPS on my phone, am i doing something wrong?

Cheers for such a great app.
[Android Apps and Games] white7561:
Umm gps still needs to be on. The mock locations will take place instead using the real gps
[Android Apps and Games] wvrolijk90:
Hmms, before it went down i also played without gps on...

Not even mock location on the app.

And it worked like a charm.

(used an rooted s7 edge with xposed)
[Android Apps and Games] _greenie:
I have mock off, location on.

Rooted S5 with xposed, but app has been moved to sysapp
[Android Apps and Games] Sh11fty:
Looks like 3rd party apps are blocked so no more Pokémod bot. Is there any way you can clean up the mock location/joystick to allow different speeds, or even create a "path" like the mock locations app on play store?

Its too bad. Jumped from 15 to lvl 25 within days with your app.
[Android Apps and Games] alarmdude9:
I have faith in the dev that they will get it working again.

sent from my Samsung wonder device
[Android Apps and Games] PokeDresseur:
Skiplagged didn't work this morning but that's works now so I've got faith in the dev too he made great things and I think he's able to fix that ;)
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
Yeah, in one spot the latitude gets set as the longitude.

Late nights are not a good time to play with GPS.
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
Version 1.4

Fix an issue where latitude and longitude reversed

Adjust the movement timeout to prevent warping

Edit: Apparently smoothing the GPS signal caused the character to jump a bit.

This will be fixed in the next build later today.

If you need to move a short distance, just flick the controller in that direction without holding it down.
[Android Apps and Games] mariusfl0rian:
I tried this application but after I set an correct location and go open Pokemon Go ,I get this message and it means that the location could not be found. My device has no root and I have done what in the instructions for non rooted device is. What should I do?
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
Using any sort of mock location in place of real GPS without root is not an exact science.

The instructions are one way that non-root users have claimed works but it requires good timing and luck.

If it is not working for you, there is little that can be done to fix it. Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] Melonius Games:
Looks really cool. Ill try it asap, gotta catch them all right?
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
Version 1.5

Multi-tap joystick to re-open initial map screen

Authentic GPS speed based on distance traveled

Change movement speed with joystick distance

Better handling of movement and speed checks
[Android Apps and Games] nathanjace:
Problem

I've done the root+exposed version. Not all works. The game always says Failed to detect location... So I can't catch any Pokémon....

(btw sorry for my English)
[Android Apps and Games] mani0008:
I am using the Xposed version with mock location but the it doesn't move from the location with the joystick and if it does some how it will move to my current location and will not move again.
[Android Apps and Games] Zenety:
App is not showing up on Android N Preview 5 when moving it to /system/priv-app. Made folder 0755 and the app 0644.

Wouldn't putting it into /system/app be enough?
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
That means the module is not enabled or you did not reboot after enabling it.

Leave PokeMod running, but quit Pokemon GO (and remove it from running apps), turn Location off and then on, launch Pokemon GO again.

Did you reboot after moving it? It uses secure settings permissions that /system/app doesn't support.
[Android Apps and Games] Zenety:
Yeah multiple times. Put it in a folder with chmod 755 and outside a folder with 644 for the application. Neither worked.
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
Version 1.6

Add per-method instructions to startup dialog

Keep device screen on when joystick is visible
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
Version 1.7

The newest version of PokeMod KO now sports a fancy new locator.

Click the Pokeball in the lower right to log in, then have all the nearby Pokestops and Pokemon pop up right on the map. It doesn't stop there, though.

Clicking on a Pokemon will automatically attempt to capture it.

Remember not to click Pokemon too fast or that are too far away from each other.

You can still click on the marker and enter the game to capture them manually, too. More features are coming soon.
[Android Apps and Games] MagicLogins:
I assume that when you have CATCH_ERROR for every pokemon you got banned right? :D

My advice is to put the autocatch with a long-press or with a secondary option, because you also click at pokemon in the map for mistake.

Even better would be a timer of 15-20 seconds that re-enables the autocatch after the last is done. Meanwhile it can just move the cursor to the location.

EDIT: Not even waiting 20 seconds between insta catches works, maybe it has to be more or you have to use something in the inventory meanwhile, I'm not sure of it, just so you know you get soft banned for 15-30 minutes, that means you can see pokemons in the map but you cannot catch them anymore in that period.
[Android Apps and Games] asti patel:
Google log in says server unavailable
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
I think you missed the warning not to go randomly clicking a bunch of stuff.

OK. I don't have much control over that.
[Android Apps and Games] gttrk:
Not working.

Dude, your app is not working on my latest aicp marshmallow for d802. I have tried both methods but joystick function not working. And also the game says no GPS connection. I have been using fake GPS and mock GPS apps without any problem.
[Android Apps and Games] SCrid2000:
Location search bar covers up the buttons in the latest version.
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
The story as it stands now:

The API is now encrypted. A key has always been generated, but was never required. It is now required.

One of the original bot developers, calling himself Mila, is also a forum moderator / owner at AlphaGamers.

This Mila person claims to have discovered how to resolve the API block, but refuses to release any information due to the overwhelming number of sites / people using that code to sell bottled accounts.

While this is a noble reason by itself, it is overshadowed by numerous claims of Mila having provided their own service selling bottled accounts.

TL;DR A lot of people are trying to hack the app and generate the key, but it is quickly escalating into something that will likely be the downfall of the game altogether.

Until such time as it is possible to generate a key, and confirmed that Niantic will not take serious action against those using it, this app will revert to being a GPS joystick with mini-map. It will not locate, capture, or collect.
[Android Apps and Games] danilo_scala:
good afternoon friend, i have xperia Z5 premium, 6.0.1, which Xposed I install? then install this module? I just want joystic., great work, thank you
[Android Apps and Games] wgrant:
That's unfortunate but greatly appreciate everything you had done, the app was amazing. I've never been able to get the joystick to work though using the rooted method and xposed screws with the ROM I use. Hopefully I'll be able to get it working somehow. If anyone has tips please feel free to pm me to help.

Thanks again for all you did.
[Android Apps and Games] jahciple:
I could get the joystick to work but when the character moves it says Failed Location and the character always moves back to my original location. I installed as Xposed and have Mock Location on.
[Android Apps and Games] _greenie:
This app works for me when moved to sysapp, non xposed.

Otherwise I could advise DarkpokemonGO it seems to work non-sysapp,non-xposed for people.
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
The xposed issue was a minor oversight. When trying to prevent unnecessary updates, it checks for mock location enabled, which is exactly what xposed hides.
[Android Apps and Games] Slypnslyde:
So move the app into system so the joystick will work
[Android Apps and Games] jahciple:
Ok so I moved the folder from data/app to system/priv-app and still does the same thing.
[Android Apps and Games] ingresspokogo:
Still no location set here after using latest beta, once changed to High Accuracy with mock location set to PokeModEx it still picks up my real location.

Thanks for all the great work with this. Shame its shut down for a while.

I seen SkipLagged is somehow back up showing all pokemon location. Odd that they have somehow found the key so quickly as they dropped out at exactly the same time as everything else 3rd party.....

Iv'e never had the joystick work before, I could see it and "open" it but nothing would happen. Any tips on how to get it to work properly? Had resorted to FakeGPS but it pings back to current location far to often to travel any great distance.

[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
They work like Waze but just because you advertise that your actual business is so good it got sued doesn't mean you won't run and hide the second someone says "lawyer"

Niantic has already claimed they will issue bans but also made it pretty obvious that was all they could do about it.
[Android Apps and Games] yanniclord:
Try the XPOSED Module called Pokémon GO Joystick from [MENTION=4040932]balamu96m[/MENTION] . That is pretty great as an FakeGPS alternative and works the best from all of them if you ask me.
[Android Apps and Games] mazzierfc:
Cheers I will have a looked at that later. No localised ping? Happy just to be able to catch pokemon in another location other than my remote local area. Ideal if I could get back to NYC was doing well using this app to get there and skiplagged to locate specific pokemon.
[Android Apps and Games] white7561:
This app on its own can use fake gps with joystick .
[Android Apps and Games] JBsasuke:
It does not work me pick up the item and capture not actualize the most recent and yet the app does not work for me thanks for Work
[Android Apps and Games] noidea24:
Just a helpful hint for those on the android n preview/ android marshmallow. if your character is jumping back and forth to your real location then youll need to get an app that can freeze system apps. app quarantine or titanium can both freeze apps. youll want to freeze the system service/app "fusedlocations" and reboot your device and it should work.
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
It also slaps an ad over your game and limits the joystick to a single small area. Perhaps before spamming ads for other apps, you may want to try this one or even read the thread. You'd realize this is a joystick.
[Android Apps and Games] Slypnslyde:
Can't ever get the joystick to work
[Android Apps and Games] yanniclord:
Ye, if you would have read any of my previous comments, i know that. I actually asked you multiple times for help or alike, but you kept ignoring it, not exactly my fault. But two things.

1: Your joystick doesn't work for me. I can get all other FakeGPS joysticks to work, just not yours, it did work in previous versions (2.2 afaik), but not anymore.

2: If someone has a rooted phone and does not use AdAway and MinMinGuard to remove ads (which is why i don't see a single ad ontop of my game), then it is quite sad to have the phone rooted and XPOSED.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

Exactly what i just said, same problem, all others work, not Pokemod EX.

[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
There is going to be a big change to the app, but it will take some more time to test and to write documentation.

Basically, root users will not have to move the app anymore unless an automatic move fails.

Xposed users will have a second apk to install to make sure the size of the app (number of methods, not install size) stops preventing the module from being found.
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
Sadly, this is something you get accustomed to in mobile dev.

I have been doing this since about 2004, before Android existed. In the 12 years since I started, people have grown to expect everything to be free because large corporations can afford to give things away for just the advertising.

Unfortunately, that also leads to the misguided comparison between the old Windows Paint and Google's GIMP because they are the same price. Next thing you know, people forget about external factors, such as size consideration, compatibility, etc and only compare two free apps that can open photos.

----------

This app is a joystick, but also was, for a decent amount of time, a bot. The other joysticks may not have any issues working for their single specific function. I can easily make this JUST a joystick that ONLY installs for Xposed and fix every minor issue to make it the best possible version of that it can be. The price of that being that half of the users no longer have anything, and no bot will ever exist again.

As far as the app that was advertised, I would hope it is pretty good. I handed the developer the code from this app on how to disable mock detection for a single app without disabling it for the entire device and how to have the app work on rooted devices without Xposed. While most people think only open source projects share, that doesn't mean developers don't still do it. I am not taking credit for that app's accomplishments, but just pointing out that I am very confident I know what I am doing and that the issues are not in the core code.

This project would be open source, and actually was for a short period. That had to change the second the big update happened. A large contributor to the update was many bots not spacing out their calls and many of the users taking their own steps to speed them up. It flooded the server and Niantic was not pleased. To keep things from getting to that point, I have to play mommy and control use. It sucks, but it beats everybody losing out on the feature because some abuse it.
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
This is a summary of what has been going on the last two days, not including the time spent researching how to salvage the bot, if only to locate pokemonsters.

Uninstall previous versions before installing the latest update

The new package will be in two parts, but you do not have to download PokeModEXtended unless you are both using Xposed and something goes wrong with the setup.

If you choose to install the secondary package for the SAO Launcher support, do so after running the application setup or the automatic move to root may not work (this is temporary, as I do not expect people to uninstall the extension for each update).

The application includes fallbacks for almost every scenario where an error can happen, except if the extension download goes down or becomes unavailable. In most cases, a new update will have the new address of the file and avoid this issue until some form of backup is added.

The system install will ask for root permission. The application does not contain the silly flag for super su, but that will be added if that is an issue for more than one person. Otherwise, I stand by opposing some random third-party developer creating new Android permissions to support unstable (and unnecessary) screening applications.

Currently, only GPS and Network location are broadcast. There appear to be some delays where it will jump back and forth, but oddly they are within close proximity of each other. This is a glitch in the automatic location broadcasting that is meant for idling and will be fixed. It is not enough to get soft banned or even set off the PoGO notification in most cases. It will appear as nothing more than shaky signal.

The bottom left button still launches the joystick and the bottom right is still linked to bot functions. Do not attempt to use the bot. It is still down and will get you banned at the moment.

I am sure there is more that has changed, but that is a topic for the documentation I intend to write after I get everything cleaned up and organized. Right now, it is enough to have the app handle the confusing parts automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] yanniclord:
I never said that i doubted you, and you did a very good job with PokeMod EX. The only thing i was saying is that if you would actually have seen my previous comments, you would have seen that i wanted gladly to donate and support you, but i was simply ignored. Calling me rude (not you, that other guy) for simply pointing this out to prevent misunderstandings is a bit overdramatized and absolutely unnecessary in every way. Maybe instead of heading directly for the guns the next time, maybe just try understanding, instead of instantly calling out war:(
[Android Apps and Games] wgrant:
Newest version won't open. Installed it, ran once, selected rooted, it installed successfully to system, restarted, press it again and just keep getting the option to choose xposed/rooted/manual. Did I do something wrong?

[Android Apps and Games] Osui818:
Can anyone teach me exact how to get this work. I tired so many times but I couldn't able to get it work. So I download the pokemodex, I install it and I use root browser to move com.roswell108.pokemodex-1 to /system/priv-app/. Then IIreboot my phone. The app disappear. I also tired use lucky patcher install as system app, I was able to use open the app, I login with my google account, choosed the location, tap on the bottom left icon, open Pokemon go. But I still located where I'm at (not the location I choose from pokemodEX and the joystick doesn't work.

I'm using Galaxy s6 edge 6.0.1 , rooted , GPS only, mock location off.

If anyone can guide me or provide further information how to set it up, that will be great. I appreciate your help. Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
It may not have saved the preference. Just select manual and dismiss the dialog. It doesn't save the specific method for anything.
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
Read the thread. You'll probably be banned soon, though.

Donations aren't bounties. I explained the situation. Taking that as an attack is the first sign your requests sound more like demands.

You were not ignored, just not specifically quoted. This isn't the place to disregard any post not directly aimed at you. I'm sure you have realized that by now.
[Android Apps and Games] Slypnslyde:
So there's no point of trying to run this app anymore? Are they detecting spoofing joystick apps even if stay close to home
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
Why do people speculate when an exact answer was given?
[Android Apps and Games] ingresspokogo:
+1 working now with the latest changes you made, bit uneasy about giving it root without knowing what else is it doing but have done so.
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
If you read the previous posts, I wrote specifically what it does.

It remounts the system to allow writing, it moves the file, then it remounts the system back to read only.

If you are going to assume it is somehow doing something suspicious, you should look at how many people had trouble performing these steps on their own.

Weren't you one of those people that seemed to be having trouble? That is why it now performs the move.

Requesting the permissions and doing it in Java without root would require it was already a system app. Kinda defeats the purpose.
[Android Apps and Games] PokeDresseur:
Sad, the app was so useful for those like me who can't moving(handicap). I hope that you can in the nearest future pass beyond the restriction to return the pleasure gived by the app, to can play and have pleasure without having to move.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
Deleted. See below
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
There is now a "formal" guide in the first post. I will update it with more pictures eventually, but for now it covers everything you need for getting started.
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
If you move the joystick and your player does not start to run, set your location to GPS only.

This is a temporary workaround while fused location is being implemented.

This should only apply if you have not turned fused location off.

...and just like that, fused locations are now included.

If you experience issues, you can switch to GPS only and back to high to trigger it, but there is no need to remain on GPS only as long as you have seen "Google API enabled" pop up when starting the joystick
