Requires a rooted Android device with LSPosed installed, plus an activation code.
LocationMax is an Android app that lets a rooted device report a fake GPS location to specific apps of your choosing. It is built as an Xposed module, which means it requires a rooted phone running a compatible framework called LSPosed. Once installed and enabled, it intercepts location requests from whichever apps you select and feeds them a custom coordinate instead of the device's real position. The primary stated purpose is app testing and quality assurance. If you are a developer building a location-aware app, you can use this to verify how your app behaves when a user is in a particular city without physically traveling there. You pick a point on a map inside LocationMax, optionally search for a place by name, and then any targeted app sees that point as the device's current location. You can save favorite spots and toggle spoofing on and off from within the app. The module also supports external control, meaning another app or automation script can send broadcast commands to start, stop, or update the location programmatically. There is also a remote JSON control file mechanism for managing enable, disable, and forced-update states across devices, which is aimed at managed distribution scenarios. Installation requires a few steps: install the APK, enable the module inside LSPosed, pick which apps should receive the fake location, then reboot or restart those apps. An activation code is required to use the app, which the README describes as part of a managed distribution flow. The project is based on an earlier open-source tool called XposedFakeLocation and is released under the MIT license. The README includes a clear legal notice: this is intended only for device owners testing their own setups, and using it to commit fraud, evade compliance checks, or violate third-party terms of service is explicitly outside the intended use.
