I wanted to know if there was a way to fool an app that always needs to connect to a server to do a part of it's job. The app is moboclean. It can restrict other apps from being too invasive, simulating some root controls to non-rooted device. I have downloaded some apks and used moboclean to keep them from digging into my contacts and what not, so that part is working fine. But i also wanted to install other apps, and since moboclean always needs to connect to it's own servers, this became a problem. For a couple of weeks moboclean servers were down. So moboclean would not install some recent apks i had. Already wrapped apps could still work, but to initiate a new app with those controls, moboclean won't do it without connecting. For now, seems that the servers are back up since it can now connect again. Moboclean does declare that it downloads it's custom apk of the app i would like it to control, but thats not quite true since it seems to give root control to apps that cannot be found in it's database of custom wrapped apps. Which again only fails sometimes , an example being the firefox app. What i'm trying to portray is that moboclean can work without needing to connect to it's server everytime i want it to wrap up a new app and install it so that i can control some if it's permissions. And since the creator of the app is no longer active, user named "uusafe", or perhaps goes now by a new username, i feel the that very useful app will eventually become useless once it's servers go down for good. Is there a way to make moboclean work without needing to connect online, since that part really doesn't do anything, and it just wraps the app up anyway. Just to force it to do what it does, but skip the connecting part.
As a disclaimer, i'm not exactly sure how everything works in this case. i could be misinterpreting or becoming confused with how some apps work and can be forced to work, but any help and enlightenment would be appreciated.
Thanks.
