Feature: Enable GPS on a rooted phone

Open matthijskooijman opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

I'm planning to keep this app handy to answer "where am I?" in an emergency (e.g. when having to call an ambulance). However, I usually have GPS disabled to save battery. In the interest of speed, it would be interesting to have the app enable GPS on startup (and possible disable it again after it gets a fix). I realize that this is not normally possible on Android, but on a rooted phone it should be possible (at least the "power toggles" app can do this on a rooted phone).

That's doable: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35320092

Not sure if/when I can implement it but nice idea.
