Can I make it work all the time?

Description

I like FakeTraveler, but I'd like it to work all the time. Is there any way to do that? It's not about doing anything illegal or anything, I just want to feel like my phone is no longer spying on me at all (it still does, but I don't want that much).

To reproduce

I don't know.

Expected behaviour

Fit from when I open the app until I turn off the phone.

For me it "unapplys" when I change my phone to landscape or back to portait mode. So if I tilt my phone to the side I have to hit apply again. I have made sure to enable location, disable precise location, and set the mock time on the app to infinite. I use a FairPhone 5 and got the app from FDroid

I think if AndroidManifest.xml included something like:

android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|screenLayout|keyboardHidden"

the activity wouldn't be recreated on orientation changes. Might require some other changes as well to react to the new size, not sure, but maybe not for something this simple. Would also avoid recreating the activity on window resizes if running on a chromebook, foldable, or one of these new-fangled windowed-androids.
