Android setup

Mock location is an official Android developer setting. You turn it on once, then LocoLarp can supply test coordinates.

Enable Developer Options

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Open About phone (sometimes About device).
3. Find Build number. On some phones it is inside Software information.
4. Tap Build number seven times.
5. Enter your PIN or pattern if asked.

You should see a short message such as “You are now a developer.” Then a Developer options screen appears in Settings (sometimes under System, or under a Search field).

Select the mock location app

1. Open Developer options.
2. Scroll to Select mock location app (wording can be Allow mock locations on older skins).
3. Open LocoLarp once so Android registers it, then return to the list.
4. Choose LocoLarp.

Where OEMs put the menus

Google Pixel

Settings → About phone → Build number, then Settings → System → Developer options.

Samsung

Settings → About phone → Software information → Build number, then Settings → Developer options. Search for “mock location” if the list is long.

Xiaomi / HyperOS / MIUI

Settings → My device or About phone → All specs → OS version or Build number. Developer options may sit under Additional settings. Some skins also ask you to sign in to a Xiaomi account before USB-related options appear; mock location may still be available without that.

OnePlus / Oppo / ColorOS

Settings → About device → Version → Build number, then Additional settings → Developer options.

Optional checks

• Location (GPS) is turned on in Quick Settings.
• LocoLarp has permission to show on top or run in the background if your OEM asks for it after install.
• Battery savers are not force-stopping LocoLarp during a test.
