Hi
I need to connect wifi and mobile data simultaneously on older androids, newer androids can do this with just android settings.
Older androids can do it with a app called speedify .
I found code but cannot get it working.
And then it has this second part also.
Found it here https://stackoverflow.com/questions...-application-instead-of-wi-fi/4756630#4756630
Please if anybody can help with mobile and wifi simultaneous connection.
Thank you.
Device's is rooted as well. (android 5.1)
