FakeWifi

This app is no longer maintained, as I have no use for it and no way to test it. Pull requests are still welcomed, altough nobody really cared to make them yet.

Make android apps believe Wifi is connected.

Handy in situations where there is a (non wifi) connection, but some app won't do its thing unless it's on wifi ( android running in virtual machine / emulator, 3g but no wifi around, usb 3g modem connection, usb reverse tethering, device with ethernet, ...)

With this you can for instance access wifi-only features while on 3g/Ethernet, etc.

Tested on Android 4 (KitKat) and 6 (Marshmallow).

No app is faked by default. Open FakeWifiConnection app to enable/disable hack (master switch) and select which apps to fake.

Install

Prerequisites: Xposed Framework.

  • Install Fake Wifi from Google Play or build and install from source.
  • Open Xposed Installer->Modules, tick Fake Wifi
  • Reboot
  • Open Fake Wifi app to change settings.

Debugging

Debug messages are disabled by default and shouldn't be needed. Enable them in the GUI if you want.

logcat | grep FakeWifi

Also check Xposed logs:

logcat | grep Xposed
