I want to change the group for file wpa_supplicant.conf which i edited for internal use of wireless of our school. After editing it gave the permissions to root, which i want to change to wifi.
When i do "chgrp wifi wpa_supplicant.conf" the outcome is: chgrp: unknown group wifi
How can i fix this as i dont know how to edit/make groups under Android system
I have exactly the same problem.
I have root access using "UniversalAndroot".
Anyone an idea how to change the group to wifi?
newgrp wifi does not work.
POSSIBLE FIX:
chown system.wifi wpa_supplicant.conf seem to work.
[Q] Unknown group wifi - Is there any solution?
I am doing this on my XPERIA X10 mini
I too am looking for a solution to this problem.
On editing the file, the permissions changed to root:root.
With the owner:group as root:root, I am not able to enable wifi.
I have changed the owner to system, but unable to change the group to wifi like it was (before I edited this file).
In case anyone has found out please let me know.
I shall look into this further and post my findings.

X10 mini - Rooted
Try "chgrp 1010 wpa_supplicant.conf".
For every group/user IDs look here: http://code.google.com/p/yaffey/source/browse/AndroidIDs.h

Any devs out there building roms can compile up a wpa_supplicant as per http://szym.net/android/adhoc-wpa-supp.html

Have to apply manual changes on wpa_supplicant.conf to keep my ad-hoc network working each time I add new wifi network.

Code:
/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Manually ad your ad-hoc network in WiFi settings.
Turn off Wireless
Edit /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Code:
ap_scan=2
and
mode=1 (inside the network config in the same file)
Use PowerControl widget to turn off/on as going in to WifiSettings will mess up WPA_Supplicant.conf again.
Maybe doing a proper config in /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf via recovery mode will sort it permanently instead?
For anyone reading this thread, i just came across this and it works perfect. No manual editing of files. Just flash the wpa_adhoc zip attached.

Same here for the Milestone.
Can someone give me pointers on how the patch gets applied to the wpa_supplicant? I suppose it needs to be decompiled and then recompiled but I've never done that so I'm not sure how involved it is or what tools are needed.
Just in case it's a quick job for someone in the know like you here is a link for the Milestone wpa_supplicant http://dl.dropbox.com/u/904989/wpa_supplicant ;-)
Thanks !

Hi everyone in the Pixel XL section,
I have a little request in terms of the /persist folder of the Pixel XL as I don't own one.
So as the title just says I'm developing an app which gives the user the ability to change its MAC address. I'm still looking forward to port new devices to my app, but as I still got only 1.6k views on my thread and there are two users who installed the app from the play store with an Pixel XL, I want to ask if someone here could do the following steps.
1. Is there a /persist folder?
2. If so is there a wlan_mac.bin file In it? (Or a .macaddr In /persist/wlan/)
3. What's the content of the file?
4. If it seems like a Mac address could you change the first two letters to 00?
5. What happens after a reboot?
If 1st not true check if there is a few folder or so.
Thanks in advance
Did you figure out how to change MAC on pixel XL?
Found your app. Thanks.
Doesnt seem like the MAC change is sticking. It disconnects my wifi then reconnects with the original MAC.
i did not see a '/persist' folder.
all the ones have rooted this tablet reported defective mirroring display, I found the solution on this forum, in a single post (semi-hidden), I think it must have a specific thread for the desperates are looking how to solve it.
install build.prop editor (or edit manually build.prop file),
add the line (where you want): wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
...and mirroring is on...

Hi,
Can someone tell me where I could find the way to modify the supl address used for a-gps?
No more gps.conf file or similar, is it made only with ROM build?
LineageOS 18.1
I think the only way is to edit gps.conf.
[Q] Disable A-Gps
Hello guys there is a way to complete disable A-gps from the system? Turn off data is not a solution for my situation i want to exclude any contact from internet and use only gps chip, not assisted in gps.conf can i do something? or i have to...
forum.xda-developers.com
BTW, I found another way to diable it:
Code:
settings put global assisted_gps_enabled 0
To which server would you change it?
The easy way was this gps.conf file when it was accessible.
Thanks for the info, the code ended with success but GPS still connect to some supl server.
I used similar functions to modify captive portal and NTP server and it worked fine.
Would be happy if I could just change to localhost, I don't need it and don't like all these connections spam.
