Thanks for the PR.

Tried to use it on my postmarketOS Linux phone

  1. Starting a fake GPS stream
virtualgps.py -c virtualgps.conf -p warsaw --verbose
Streaming virtual location (Lat: 52.13791, Lon: 21.00704, El: 100.0) to serial GPS device /dev/pts/3
  1. configured gpsd
cat /etc/conf.d/gpsd 
GPSD_OPTIONS="-n -D 1"
DEVICES="/dev/pts/3"
  1. started gpsd
sudo rc-service gpsd start
  1. installed gps with your waydroid_script fork
    supplied /var/run/gpsd.sock with baudrate 9600
  2. opened comaps on waydroid but cant get any position

Have you updated your LineageOS version to the latest or added the dialout group? Mine works perfectly on Ubuntu.
If it doesn’t work, can you send me the waydroid_logcat.log?

Yes it's running Android 13 now. On the host system (postmarketOS/Alpine Linux) I added my user to the dialout group.

Maybe I'm going to test it on my desktop PC first (NixOS)

if i do container.upgrade(), this config will be reset.
i don't know how to solve this, so in this case it must be that

Thanks for your work!

Unfortunately this does not work for me either. I tried using it with the gpsfake tool since I have no gps receiver laying around. Running on Ubuntu 24.04 and waydroid 1.5.4

Run the gpsfake service:

sudo gpsfake --speed 9600 --slow <nmea data file>.nmea -D4

(...)
gpsd:INFO: <= control(8): adding /dev/pts/14
gpsd:INFO: stashing device /dev/pts/14 at slot 0
(...)

Setup waydroid (lineage-20.0-20250809-MAINLINE-waydroid_x84_64):

sudo waydroid init

Install the gps using your script:

sudo ./venv/bin/python main.py
-> Android 13
-> Install
-> gapps, gps
-> /dev/pts/14
-> 9600

Then waydroid session start and waydroid show-full-ui but there is no location available in any navigation app (google maps, OsmAnd).

Please don't use that pts device, you can set the fake gps device to like /dev/ttyGPSD
If you can't, follow the command below

sudo ln -s /dev/pts/<yourdevice> /dev/<nameyouwant>
sudo chmod 777 /dev/<nameyouwant>

Did not find any way from the gpsfake docs to specify the tty device path. Anyhow with the symbolic link it works like charm!

Thank you very much!
