Hi, have issues with my wifi and would like to try this mod.
I'm on OOS 4.5.15 on my Oneplus 5. Assuming I need to use the Nougat file. How do I flash the file? I thought I could find the module in Magisk Manager but I can't find it. Please advise.

Yes, you have to use the Nougat file. Simply flash it in recovery.

This didn't work. Still have issues with both FB and Viber on wifi connection. Don't get this. Anyway, I will not spend any more time on this but simply when I have my new device at hand I will wipe my OP5 and install Oreo.

@RogerF81 Hey mate, hope you're doing good! Just wanted to drop in with a quick (off-topic) question. I've been using your Soilworks tweaks for a long time now (the last battery variant that was included with Helix Engine before it stopped using the tweaks). Just wanted to know is there already/are you planning an update/refresh for that script?

As a side note, many custom HMP kernels (I use Flash Kernel) are now also starting to include dynamic schedtune boost btw. So if you ever get around to update Soilworks, do take into consideration this as well. Thanks! :)

Hmm, that's weird. But yes, that's a good idea, something must be wrong on your side.

Hi can I flash v4 with TWPR or just change with Root Explorer? I'm on 1+ 5T OB9
Both works, but I still suggest to flash this mod. If something goes wrong for you, you simply can uninstill the mod in Magisk Manager.

Hey mate! Firstly, Helix Engine technically hasn't stopped using the tweaks, it's just a matter of how they are built-in, and this needs some more time and development, as HE won't use any scripts anymore, as this isn't he most efficient method. Therefore, for now, only some core tweaks are implemented, but once my mate @ZeroInfinity finishes his exams, he will work on this further and HE will get some new cool updates for sure :) But yes, besides I'm still updating my scripts, just for personal usage. Therefore, I don't want to share them, but if you want to try them, send me a PM and I will message you a link to them :)

Oh, I thought Helix Engine now only defined the max/min frequency values on the big/little cores based on the app. Thanks for correcting me! Nonetheless, sent you a PM. Looking forward to trying out updated Soilworks! :)

Update!

After some time, I have a new update for my Pixel 2 Wifi Mod.

So far I can say, that the WCNSS_qcon_cfg.ini file of the Pixel 2 XL hasn't changed from Oreo to latest Android P preview.
But from v5 (unreleased; only changed the battery saving mechanism control from Android framework back to the driver internally) of my mod, these are the changes I made:

  • Lowered gStaKeepAlivePeriod from 30 to 20
  • Changed gVhtAmpduLenExponent from 4 back to 7 (stock Pixel value)
  • Raised gMaxConcurrentActiveSessions from 2 back to 3 (stock Pixel value)
  • Lowered gScanAgingTime from 20 to 15
  • Changed gEnablePowerSaveOffload from 4 to 5
  • Enabled gEnableWoW and set to 3 ( = "Enable both magic pattern and pattern byte match on all interfaces.")

Additionally, I had a look at the other files in /vendor/system/wifi. On stock OOS Rom, there is only a wpa_supplicant.conf, and no wpa_supplicant_wcn.conf file as on the Pixel phones. That's why I added this one with the stock Pixel content. Besides, I also added the stock Pixel's p2p_supplicant_overlay.conf and wifi_concurrency_cfg.txt files, which are already there on OOS, but the content is a bit different.

So, Wifi is definitely working for me, so it should be fine. Feel free to try out and report back!
