[APP][4.0.3+] WiFi Fix (Repair broken WiFi)

[Aenadon]

Fix your broken WiFi!

After having lots of trouble myself with broken WiFi on my device (especially on custom ROMs), I have identified some of the issues and made an app to automate the process of fixing the problems automatically.
Currently the app supports two fixing methods:

Method 1 (Clearing DHCP Lease)
Sometimes, the DHCP lease of Android gets corrupted. In this case, you are not able to connect to any WiFi network - it keeps displaying "Obtaining IP address...". If that is the case, the functionality of WiFi can easily be restored by deleting two files contained in /data/misc/dhcp - dhcpcd-wlan0.lease and dhcpcd-wlan0.pid. They will automatically get recreated once WiFi is enabled again.

Method 2 (Deleting wpa_supplicant)
The file wpa_supplicant.conf (located in /data/misc/wifi) stores all the WiFi passwords of Android. However, for some reason this file gets corrupted easily. Deleting it will force Android to recreate it and WiFi will work again. WARNING: This method will delete your WiFi passwords. Refer to below for instructions on how to backup them.

How to read the WiFi passwords:

1. Install a file manager with root access (e.g. Root Browser)
2. Go to /data/misc/wifi and open the file wpa_supplicant.conf
3. Write down the passwords on a piece of paper (Do NOT backup the file!!!)

PLEASE NOTE: You need ROOT ACCESS for this app to work.

If you don't trust me, you can always check the source on GitHub and build the app yourself. Just in case ^^

Hi,

Running Resurrection Remix 5.6.9 with built in root (not SuperSU) and it doesn't ask for root permissions, just fails with the Fail error message.

Every other root program pops up a box requesting access.

Any ideas?

Search supersu

Sorry, I thought you meant search the play store for wifi fix.

Not going to do this for one specific root app when all others work fine with the built in root.

This one. And it also doesn't hurt installing SuperSU from play.

This one is not my app, it is an app from someone else.

I will look into the issue of why it doesn't prompt you on CM root when I have time.

Superb. Thank you Sir works perfect.

I think it not work on cm 13 and 14

Well, it depends on the issue. If the appearing issues have been fixed in such a way that they can't appear on CM13/14, then it surely won't, but other than that there should be no problem

The 1.2 apk identifies as version 1.0... So I'm always asked to update to the new version.
