Oh, it sucks, I' didn't knew that it can't simulate the movement... Maybe another app could be a better choice? Know anyone?
Thanks anyway...
Look for GPS joystick on the playstore, it's 99 cents. Just read my post a couple of posts up to get an explanation of what the app does.

Has anyone here successfully gotten inapp purchases free? Just wondering. (On Android)

Has there been any consequences to spoofing location? In regards to Android.

So what exactly is gps spoofing? Will it make it so more pokemon will appears everywhere? Is there as of right now any consequence to doing so. And if this is what i think it is... How can i get set up with gps spoofing.

Basically tell me exactly what i need to know regarding this before I decide whether or not to do this.

If you are asking that question then it is probably not for you and you don't want to be setting about this.

GPS spoofing is where you trick either your GPS device or a program reading the GPS coordinates into thinking it is somewhere it is not. I covered three ways it is done http://gbatemp.net/threads/idea-pokemon-go-gps-spoofing.433543/page-3#post-6517065
There is a fourth way that people seem to have latched onto which is kind of a hybrid of 1) and 2) -- rather than using dev mode or manually hacking a program it seems there are standalone programs that will redirect the GPS signal and effectively change what the phone sees but not appear as dev mode to the program (which checks for it). Afraid I have not kept up with what the kids are using for it this last two or so weeks as things move kind of rapidly, there might even be applications aimed at it now, but the principle is the same.
Pokemon (and items and whatever) appear in certain locations out in the world, you also unlock things by walking (and it has to be walking pace rather than sitting in a car at normal car speeds or something). You can then appear at the locations and trick the walking feature as well. You can then appear to be at those places and doing unlocks by feeding the game false info.

Consequences for getting caught seem to be temporary bans, though some of that might be mixed with hacking and unlocking things within the game.

Kinda funny that everybody wants to spoof GPS but i'll be the last to laugh when you all come crying here when you're banned. The same happened with Ingres when everybody started cheating on there and using GPS spoofers or whatever and every single person got banned. So Niantic has enough knowledge to detect these things and i already know a couple of people who got banned because of this. So i really do hope you'll get banned and come crying here for help wich you won't get LMAO ! And especially you idiots who go teleporting all over the place from one city to another (Sure Niantic won't notice ! )

Don't you mean the first to laugh?

Also I would help, however I imagine it is going to be device signature (maybe mac address of network card as a basic means, or maybe a more complete device signature), account level and also server side bans which means manually unbanning via annoying spoofing*, people already using dummy/throwaway accounts and hacking into online servers to change info (done in the past for some things, probably not worth it for pokemon) or making third party servers (not done but a potential option I would like to see play out). I don't know if the game needs active internet to work but some kind of gets GPS but not 3g/wifi mode a la cardholder not present in credit cards might be an option.

*I doubt it has improved since the 3ds streetpass spoofing that saw various people have to change macs and mess around with their android devices at similar levels. I don't have a 3ds and I do have proper networking gear so eh really.

I'd much rather have free IAP, I cant imagine the advantage of GPS spoofing unless there are exclusive pokemon somewhere (as far as I'm aware there arent.)

I just want everyone to know I'm doing the ceiling fan trick with my phone to hatch eggs and it works great.

For the best results tape your phone as far out on the blade as possible and have it go at the slowest settings, if too fast the steps may not register.

I'm not sure how Nintendo/Niantic will go on the spoofers problem. They are already present. Look at Twitch: The streamers are sitting at home, spoofing into NYC and catching Pokemon.
The obstacles aren't high. Ingress was much better protected and even there spoofers could annoy the players about months.
Spoof as much as you want, you will destroy the game for yourself because there is no big aim to reach for.

Spoofing is easy. Install the right app, search google for a desktop version with bluestacks or so and happy catching'em'all. :(

I feel like IOS users get all the fun of cheating for this game, is there anything like that tap to move spoof for Android or anything thats ease of access that doesnt rely on leaving the app?

What about logging on from the PC end to control spoofing?

Kinda wish the topic was more active but owell.

Anyone know a good tracker to find any given Pokemon your looking for in your area or some sort of database that says "This Snorlax can be found at xxx, xxxx, and xxxxx address."

A lot of Pokemon I've been trying to catch lately have been running away after the first throw. I use a razz berry and a great ball and they always run away after that first throw. Am I just really unlucky or do I gotta wait till I have access to Ultra balls?

Spoofing your gps location has been easy for me, I even set it up with a route so that the game thinks im walking around Santa Monica. Great for pokestops/gyms/eggs.

Yep, I read about that but lucky for me its only a soft ban. I promise to not play while driving.
This happens to me too. I played while I was on the bus(a 2 hour bus ride) and unfortunately, I used an incense and what do you know, all pokemons flee on first ball throw. What a waste.
