Magisk AOSP WiFi mod

[RogerF81]

I already created a similar mod for the OnePlus 5. Although Essential seems to use - more or less - the stock Google WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini file, there is always some space to improve things a little bit.

So, what does this mod do? It replaces the /system/vendor/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini and the /system/vendor/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini files with the stock Google one's, with some custom values. For example, GreeAp is enabled, or changed the Phy Mode from 0=Auto to 9=ac. I'll add the source code on GitHub later. In the meanwhile, enjoy!

Can you add some ELI5 info on what this is? I'll look it up for now, but it means nothing to me, and I'm normally pretty savvy.

In theory, espacially higher speeds. In practice, you have to find out

Update

New update is out! I updated to the latest Magisk module template, which is compatible or better said mandatory for Magisk v19+. Also, I changed some minor things.

Note: It is not possible to just put the according stock Pixel 3 XL's file in here, as ithis will lead to no working WiFi (it can't be turned on). I don't why this happens, but I'm digging into it and perhaps I can find the culprit. In the meanwhile, the modded stock Essential's file is fine for sure


Edit: Finally added the source in OP, too!
