FakeSim (Signal Simulator) is a clever root-level module that allows you to fully customize your status bar's network and signal indicators. By leveraging Android's native SystemUI demo mode, it enables you to simulate anything from a full 5G connection to a Satellite SOS icon, all controlled conveniently via terminal commands.
Total Status Bar Control
Perfect for content creators, developers, or anyone wanting a clean and aesthetic status bar without sacrificing real-time clock and battery synchronization.
Terminal Powered
Easily switch network types (LTE, 5G, EDGE, Starlink, Satellite SOS) and signal levels directly from Termux using the built-in minenet command utility.
Dual SIM Independence
Simulate completely different network conditions for dual SIM slots simultaneously (e.g., Slot 1 on 5G full signal, Slot 2 on H+ low signal).
Real-Time Sync
Unlike standard Android demo mode that freezes your clock at 12:00 and battery at 100%, FakeSim actively syncs real-time battery and clock status.
Under the Hood: SystemUI Demo Hook
FakeSim operates by injecting intent broadcasts into Android's com.android.systemui.demo framework. Normally, activating demo mode freezes the entire status bar environment. This module utilizes a shell-based daemon to continuously feed the actual system time and battery broadcast intents back into the SystemUI while explicitly modifying the network parameters.
Users interact with the module through the minenet CLI binary. For instance, executing minenet -t 5G -l 4 -l2 3 -c "Verizon" instructs the module to broadcast a fake full 5G connection for the primary SIM, a 3-bar signal for the secondary SIM, and set a custom carrier string. It also hides the WiFi icon by default to create a clean, mobile-only aesthetic ideal for presentation recordings.
