Description

From the listing uploaded by “skake”.

This app works only with the Xposed framework It creates fake NetworkInfo and WifiManager objects that make other apps think they are using a WiFi even when your device is connected by other means to the internet. When would you need that? I use it for HBO GO in my Android media box that has ethernet connectivity but the app ignores it. You might want to use it with other VOD or music streaming services that won't choose the highest quality over metered connections. If you don't have a clear idea what are you going to gain by installing this app, you are better off not installing. Be careful when you use it, especially if you don't have an unlimited data plan! You might need to 'force close' some apps to pick up new settings or even restart your device. If you are using Tasker or Locale you can use them to enable/disable Fake Wifi programmatically. This app builds upon code from lemonsqueeze licenced under GNU GPL v3. Source code is at https://github.com/chylek/FakeWifi

Fake Wifi (Xposed Module) APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Fake Wifi (Xposed Module) APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the other version checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 8c82db2d92aea071ce3f6efe5c6b0f13.
