Poké-auto

A short shell script that preforms the following actions:

• Wake device
• Resize device resolution so simulated gestures will work on any screen size
• Unlock the device (using a pin... other locking methods not supported)
• Spin the currently selected Pokéstop and wait for the resulting bubbles to automatically burst
• Reset device to its default resolution
• Sleep device

This process takes approximately 25 seconds to complete. This script should probably be run in the background for convience...

Setup

Install ADB

Arch: sudo pacman -S android-tools

Debian/Ubuntu/Mint: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

OS X: brew install android-platform-tools

Anything else: Google it

Enable Developer Options > USB debugging

####Developer Options

Settings > About Phone

Tap Build Number seven (or more) times. This makes visible a hidden set of options. There may be a 'master switch' for all development options at the top of the list; activate that.

Note: On some older versions of Android the settings path may be Settings > About > Software Information.

####USB debugging

Look for a USB debugging option within the developer options set, and activate it.

Connect Phone

Make sure you have a solid USB connection... ADB will halt if device connection is lost even momentarily.

Supported Devices:

• All devices running Android 4.4
• Currently you MUST have a pin passcode on your device.

Tested Devices:

• Nexus 6
• Nexus 5x
• Nexus 5
• Motorola Droid Turbo

At this point your phone should ask for permission to allow USB debugging based on the computer it is plugged in to. You'll need to allow this to use the tool.

Open Pokémon Go

1. Find a Poké-stop that your phone will be in range of for a while (like one next to your place of work or home).
2. Open this Poké-stop and then put your device to sleep with the power button, leaving the app open.

Execute Script

1. Navigate into the repo directory.
2. Edit ./ps.sh in your text editor of choice. Change the PIN variable to your device pin. This data will be sold to the NSA (jokes).
3. Run ./ps.sh &

Note: For better logging you can run the script in the foreground by running ./ps.sh without the &.

Leave the phone plugged in

(unless you are willing to set up wireless debugging with ADB, which is a story for another time).

Kill the script before using your device.

Profit

XP for days... Don't forget to clear your inventory out every so often, it will fill up fast.
