Use a different emulator. NOX is detectable as discussed a million times.

NOX is not detectable which has explained BILLIONS TIMES! Whoer is NOT SAME as an app!

Leaving bots aside, I personally rooted my phone because honest to God, the battery is hilariously bad. I installed BetterBatteryStats, Greenify, Amplify, etc. which for some features require root. Now the question is, as a legit player, would I unroot my phone JUST for Pokemon GO? Obviously not. And I am sure that alot of other users will agree on that, if not all of them. That was a stupid move on behalf of Niantec, they already have countless ways of determining which accounts bot and which don't, API errors, movement statistics etc etc. why they felt they need to do this, is beyond any reason.

What it shows is that Niantic doesn't really have such great "bot detection" methods as we think. From the looks of it, it seems they are trying to block rooted devices because root is required for the GPS spoofing. What they don't know is that its very easy to spoof your device "root" status.

Root is not required for GPS spoofing, but in my attempt to GPS spoof on a non-rooted phone, I was able to GPS spoof, but it said no GPS signal :P It was funny because I was able to move the avatar. I imagine if I put some effort into it, I would have been able to figure it out.

I wonder if that is detectable by niantic. If not then it looks like spoofing is back on the menu boys.

no you cannot. unless the gps is integrated on the system app (which require root).. then it will not work and always no signal (because mock location need to turn on)
