FakeWifiConnection

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 ...)

With this you can for instance access wifi-only features while on 3g.
If you're used to iOS, it's the android equivalent of 3g Unrestrictor or My3G.

Tested on Android KitKat 4.4.2, play store working over ppp !

No app is faked by default. Open FakeWifiConnection app to enable/disable hack (master switch) and select which apps to fake. Changes take effect immediately (background apps need a reboot).
