What is this?
LocationSpoofer is an Android system-level location spoofing and wireless-environment simulation framework built on KernelSU + LSPosed. It fakes GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular, Bluetooth and sensor data together so that apps cross-checking mock-location flags against real-world wireless signals get a consistent fake environment.

Yes: Android 8.0 (API 26) or later, root via KernelSU/APatch/Magisk, and LSPosed (API 101+) or a compatible libxposed API 101+ framework.Does it fake location system-wide for every app at once?No, this is not a global solution. You must add each target app individually in LSPosed's Scope, because the author chose not to maintain separate system-level adaptations for every phone vendor.
