Pokémon GO on switch? - Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers

I was just curious if pokémon go is possible on the switch since there is no GPS. If there is a possibility even with a spoofing app, how would one go about installing it on the switch. Thanks in advance.

Good morning, a week ago I was trying to install Pokemon Go on the switch to use Fake GPS ....
Unfortunately I saw 2 barriers.
1- The Switch does not have GPS, an essential requirement for most Joysticks.
2- We cannot connect the switch via ADB. This would also be essential to use the SmaliPatcher.
3- Magisk cannot pass the second safetynet check...
I am not an expert, far from it, but if you want we can try it together. I think there are a lot of people who would appreciate being able to play PoGo on the switch with LineageOS

The latter two points are irrelevant, as with the newly released Android 10 for the Switch, I've managed to use Smali Patcher without issue and fix the SafetyCheck with just a lil bit of googling (duckduckgoing, actually, but it doesn't quite roll off the tongue). Pokémon GO runs without a hitch and the only issue right now is that the GPS Joystick app insists I turn on the location. If we can find a workaround, we're golden.

My Setup is Smali Patcher and this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incorporateapps.fakegps_route&hl=en_US&gl=US (I've got the paid version) I've just unticked both "Android 10 FusedLocationApi" and "Smali Patcher Mode" under App settings and it's been working without any problems.

Offline GPS Maps Eonon

HI i have a eonon HU and would like to install offline maps app what is everyone using?

Here maps is the alternative

Sygic works just fine on my head-unit?
I use Here maps from nokia, really cool in offline navigation.

I have a Eonon head unit and every time I try running Sygic, all the settings reset and it tries to redownload data, so not really usable for me.
I have an Eonon GA2114 and Sygic works fine for me although I also find that it can start messing things up once connected to the internet sometimes.
The way I have it set up is all the maps are saved on my SD card so I dont use any data and you can then use an app to block Sygic access to the internet to avoid it messing anything up.

Really? I have the exact same unit!
I really don't understand what the issue is then?
Have you made any MODS that are worth bragging about?
If you haven't change the dpi yet; that is one MOD you need to do. I'm sure you've realised that the available screen space is not good. This gives you a 1024x768 type resolution, but you will need to override this for certain builtin apps like the Radio for example.
I must have updated my post just after you quoted me haha, I added some extra info
I've not really got any special mods although at the moment I'm working on using Tasker and AutoRemote to have any SMS messages from my phone displayed on the headunit and also an option to reply.
I'll need to give that a go! What do you mean by having to override it for the builtin apps?

I didn't realise you have updated the post, I always have internet in the car so that must be causing issues; I did try reinstalling a few time, but got tired of downloading all the required files/map every time I reinstall.
Here maps is the best alternative that I've found, but I just stick to Google Maps as it as free traffic info too.
Built-in apps don't seem to be developed to cater for larger screens/resolution. So, the layout goes a bit messy, overcame this by using Xposed framework to apply the higher dpi setting to those particular apps (no more than 5)

If youre using Xposed; try changing your IMEI into the same as your phone IMEI for example, I think this would solve the problem for you two both as Sygic checks over internet your IMEI for a valid (phone) IMEI. I had the same problem, but Sygic works perfect for me now. See the post below for the details. Good luck!
i.draskovic said:
I have found solution how to make Sygic to work on ours devices.
It is wery easy and it finaly works for me, and I would like to share it with others. You can make it in two steps.
First of all you have to install rooted ROM. I have install update_4_4_4_RK3066_1024X600_7_MAL_14_05_2015.rar
You can find rooted rom for your device on this link https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxmzvLRI7-eNeVA2SWkwM1pLZ28&usp=sharing#listv
When you done you have to install Xposed IMEI Changer. You can find it at Google Play Store and start the app. Xposed Installer will prompt up and you have to give permissions to IMEI Changer and to install Framework if you did not already.
Than yo have to open IMEI changer and copy IMEI code from your smartphone. (I have HTC M7 and IMEI code you can find in Settings-Info-Tlefon identity.
After that you have to reboot device and open IMEI changer to see is it new IMEI applied.
If it is, than you have to go to Google Play Store, install Sygic and download maps.
Result you can see on attached image.
I hope that it will work for others.

How do you find Google maps data wise, does it use a lot? I had really liked the look of the live traffic feature of Sygic but I would need to be online obviously and that would mess up my maps etc. I had thought about using just Google Maps for traffic as well since its free but worried about how much data it would use with the navigation of it always on (suppose I could download an offline section but think they are quite small areas )
Thanks for that, will need to give it a go

I've installed IMEI Changer and this works great; a little silly that the orginal IMEI number doesn't even follow the correct format which was maybe the cause of the internet linking issues.
Will try reinstalling Sygic later and hopefully would have made a difference.

I have unlimited data so have never really looked into data usage; but I can say that it is not only traffic data you will be receiving but it would also be download map tiles. Downloading offline map data for Google is OK, I have tried it, but as you have already mentioned; you can only download small areas and these do expire after a month (I believe?).
My main issue with Google Maps is the non-existence of speed camera detection, which is why I used to use Sygic. It is now a trade off between traffic/cameras?!?!?!?!?
I have a GA2114 as well. However I can't download the HERE offline maps. It just says waiting to download and then says it's slow. Any issues with you guys? I'm running the latest Malaysk ROM.

Nope, although I am using the stock ROM.
Have you tried downloading the map/data on a PC then moving to the appropriate location on your head unit?

Yep, there is a Sygic Map Downloader application that someone has created. Very simple to use and you can choose the required maps and it will download it with the required data.
You shouldn't have a problem finding this application if you look in the usual/common places people go for downloads.
If you have trouble finding it though, give me a shout and I can point you in the right direction via a pm.

I have the AG2114. I use Copilot and it works wonderfully. I bought the usa full version for I think $9.95.
I prefer Sygic and I have got it working. Just change your system IMEI number to match you phone. Works a treat. Sygic also warns of speed cameras, sharp bends, speeding and all sorts vocally.

Would you be so kind as to say for which apps you've changed the dpi and what you've changed it to and how? Which Xposed module? AppOps or something else? I've noticed several things that are just way too large to fit properly and even Nova launcher can barely change anything which was a first.
Also, if you have a custom recovery, which one?
I've only rooted, put Viper4Android, Xposed and IMEI Changer on so far. As for navigation Waze seems a popular option for those not dead set on Sygic like I am since I have world wide license already and a major reason I bought this damn thing in the first place (GA5153F). Bummer is that if one goes for the Car Navigation app over the regular one it's bye bye Snoop Dog directions but overwise it seems better laid out. Now I'm tearing my hair out trying to get the E1750 3G modem to work. There's not even a Mobile Networks setting in the menu. Maybe this kinda stuff is why people flock to custom roms which I might at a later date but I digress...
Sygic seems to work on mine but no voices it's not muted

Google ending support for Android Market on Android 2.1 and lower

Looks like no more market for pre-NGP devices.

Thanks for posting this. I wondered when the final axe would fall. Well, it's simpler if GApps are not installed anyway and it was getting more and more temperamental. All the more reason for people to share packages of apps that they are using which work well on the device so we can side-load them. They can't take that away!
Does anyone know if this will affect the license check-in for paid apps? :/
Wondering about Titanium Backup Pro especially, it seems to check in on almost every boot. It would suck if we couldn't use it on the Nook Touch anymore, even though there are some clumsy alternatives.
Oops! Tried installing the 1337 ROM from 9th April 2015... No support for Android Market makes the rom unusable
Definitely backup your entire device + your original recovery before installing clockworkmod or 1337 ROM
I will now rever to stock and probably use Nook Manager to root the stock ROM.
Such a shame, I was super excited ot try out what seemed to be the best NST ROM out there
If it wasn't for ending the support for google apps, it might have been a great improvement, oh well...
Anyone with similar experience?

July 2 and I can still use SearchMarket and install market apps....wonder if working installations are going to continue hobbling along?
Seems like it's gone for me. The market search function at least. The gmail app still works though.
How would you go about unlinking the NST from a google account all together?
It's not registered in the google device manager online, so I can't unlink it there.
I'm worried that things will start to wrong now when the framework is not supported anymore.

I'm surprised your gmail works. I could never keep mine going. It would retrieve mail OK but would only send for a few days and then have to be reinstalled to work for a few more days.
The only concern I have is GoogleBooks, but so far it's OK. I'm not sure you need Market access to sync mail or books, but down the line these older applications may be rejected as security concerns. Time will tell.
So far I see no sign of weirdness.
Edit: OK, today (July 4) my NST is officially independent of the Market. No server contact. However, Google Books still works at this point. I'm not sure you should do anything. You could uninstall SearchMarket but that's about it. After all, lots of people are signed into Google on various devices to get mail but do not access the PlayStore. Famous last words
I have disabled both MarketUpdater.apk and Vending.apk (found in /system/app) by renaming them as *.OLD. After a reboot I have seen no problems running the few apps I had actually obtained from the PlayStore or those I side-loaded. Note I do not have any for-pay apps.
It may be possible to also disable Talk.apk and any adjuncts as this is used to interface with the Market, but I'm not there yet. A good goal would be to quiet down any behind-the-scenes activity by apps that can't connect any longer but keep trying to phone home just to be sure. At the same time I'm trying to maintain sync capability so that, for example, Google Books will continue to work for as long as possible. This, it seems to me, is the only remaining reason to bother with the GApps package at all since Google Sync is enabled with it.
Hello everyone. A few days ago i took my phone wich was lying around in the dust (x10 mini pro). Happily switched on, connected to internet and hit on market, just to realize this happened.
So, is there some market for 2.1-update? I was thinking about F-droid, but, how about this?
PD: sorry for my english

Bypass Greyed-out Install Button In Fire OS 5.6.0.0!

As of November 16th 2017, Amazon tablets had a new firmware that improves performance, notifications on status bar, and much more! But, the bad thing is, is that the install button to get apk files that aren't from the appstore is greyed out and cannot be installed! But there is a solution and thanks to a YouTube video I found by "liliputing", I am able to get unknown apk's installed successfully. Here are three ways to do it:
First method is to put the device into sleep mode and unlock it, go to the apk you wanted to download, and BOOM!
Second way, switch app and switch back to the app you're using to get an apk installed.
Finally, go to settings, go to security, and turn unknown sources off and back on.
If you don't understand what I am saying, watch this video I made:

While these techniques were previously surfaced they are sure to receive more attention due to the appropriately titled thread. Thanks!
Thank you, I hope you managed to get the apk's you wanted!
It seems this APK sideloading bug is a AOSP bug specific to 5.1 Lollipop caused by the October security patches - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/67884224
Hopefully it'll get fixed in a future update at some point.

Track down a Bluetooth or USB OTG keyboard. Once attached you should be able to navigate to the install button via tab key. Once highlighted it should activate via enter/return key.
Also make sure Blue Shade is disabled in child profile as screen filters can disrupt installation of 3rd party apps (Android security feature).

My OnePlus 5 won't let me play fortnite.

This is ridiculous. I've downloaded this game twice. I can login, enter lobby, do whatever i want in the settings. I can even get connected to the match. But as soon as i hit jump button to fly outside of the bus, game automatically throws me out to the lobby with a network error.
And this game lag's alot on this device, even on lowest graphics settings. & Ever since i installed this game, I never heard "Clear" in-game audio. It's always cracking.
I'm on open beta 19 rooted with magisk (safety net passed)
So guys please help me with this thing.

That's because you're rooted. Go to settings, disable bootloader unlocking and ADB, go to Magisk, enable Magisk hide, enable hide for Fortnite and repackage Magisk app. Next time Google before posting a thread as this is known for months now.

Why I've rooted SM-N9860

For few months I used stock N9860 (CHC), but after the Android 11 update Android Auto stopped working (in the car). I guess because of the side loaded of the Play Market etc. Resets, reinstalls etc. didn't help. So I've decided to accept the black side
Installed TGY Android 11 firmware (btw, downgrade to Android 10 is possible), rooted using @Mentalmuso TWRP and Magisk (now the phone shows scary red messages during the boot sequence , fixed SafetyNet check with the proper attestation so file and added native call recording and network indicator to the cscfeatures.xml.
As a result, Android 11 works fine, Android Auto works, Google Pay works etc.
And no more Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass and Secure Folder (I never use them).
Why I haven't done it earlier?
Don't you lose stuff like Netflix in HD, some banking apps, some games and so on.
I'm totally fine with TGY, android auto, banking apps, Samsung pay, Samsung secure folder and so on.
But if you are happy, then great for you!
As long as SafetyNet check is passed with the latest Google security updates it shouldn't be any issues with the apps. I see the Netflix in Play matket at least. (but I have no single reason to use it because of their territory based restrictions and availability of the plex + radarr + sonarr etc.)
The only inconvenience I have is the scary texts during the boot of the device

What network are you on?
Would you be able to point out on instructions on how to root our great device? I had S8, S10e and never rooted them but now since one fellow XDA member found a hack on how toake eSIM work I'm going to root but don't know how.
P.S. Also I'm on CHC region so Samsung Pay is useless for me there and I never used secure folder and stuff from Samsung.
A week has been passed since I rooted the device. So far so good. No issues, no glitches...

Regardless of SafetyNet you will lose function of some Samsung app like secure folder or Samsung pay because it blows the fuse for Knox, after its blown there is no way to get it back. But if you don't care about those then I guess it's a win win.

With magisk you overpass that stuff

Really, I was not aware you could get around it. I was always under the impression once you trip Knox their is no way to get it back.
I'm actually happy to be wrong lol.
I've finally figured out the root cause of the issue I have and this is because of the "root", unfortunately.
To make Google Pay working, I need to apply "Universal SafetyNet Fix", it effectively disables hardware ctsProfile attestation and SafetyNet is green - Google Pay works fine. But. This fix breaks some crypto workflow internals (JNI can't check signature etc.) and StrongSwan VPN client can't do reauth (if you use certificate based authentication) - after the initial connect, in AUTH_LIFETIME timeout (usually it is 10-20 minutes), VPN tries to reauth and can't, so connection hangs.
So I have a sad choice - either Google Pay or VPN. I'll try to look into the sources of the fix and vpn client (both are open) but it takes so much time (workaround is to diasable ipsec reauth, but it weakens the security).
Any ideas much appreicated.

try using this module to pass safetynet instead. This worked for me but I am not using that VPN so can not really check.
