[Q] Turn off wifi auto-disable - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since switching to a 5.0 stock based ROM (Cloudy or rooted stock), I've been having an issue with LAN only wifi networks. Basically, it will get immediately disabled by the OS if the attached wifi network does not have an internet connection. I remember there being a setting in 4.4 where you could disable this feature, but I don't see it as an option on 5.0. From my searching, it appears that this was resolved again in 5.1. Is there any way to disable that feature otherwise? I like 5.0 otherwise, and don't want to deal with the camera quality of AOSP. I looked for a relevant xposed module, but didn't have any luck.

[Q] Wifi not connecting to closest signal

I ROOTED and unlocked my phone as soon as the option was available. Afterwards I entered the *#6335623# to change the wifi popup. Ever since I've had to manually connect the wifi to the closest signal. I've tried to use the same *#6335623# code on the dialer but it doesn't come up any longer. Has anyone had this issue because I haven't seen it posted anywhere.
I'm running Aokp on the latest vrlhe radio.
Does anyone have any ideas. It seems that it now not only doesn't auto connect to closest wifi, its starting to say that all the connects are poor signals even when 10 ft away from the wifi box.
Uncheck the poor signal option under advanced settings, and see if that fixes it.

Alternative to Exposed Smart Network app on Nexus 5X?

Hi,
I'm trying to get smart network to intelligently manage my WIFI and data networks. Data works fine, but I'm having trouble getting wifi toggle to work. The device won't see any wifi networks after wifi has toggled off. I have to manually toggle wifi to get it to connect again.
Does anyone have a alternative app solution for my purposes?
Currently I've got working with Smart Network:
Turn off data on wifi connection or screen off.
Activation timer of 20 minutes (2 minute duration) for data connection.
I would like to add:
Turn off wifi x minutes after screen off.
Activation timer (periodically connect wifi network).
keep wifi connection on selected networks (wifi whitelist).
Current setup:
Nexus 5X on 6.0.1. stock ROM.
System root 2.5.2.
Latest Xposed framework and lastest version of Smart Network and Gravity Box for MM.
ElementalX kernel 1.0.4. (stock kernel didn't work either)
I've got little hope for Smart Network app being updated (i've already posted in the appropriate thread) so i'm interested in knowing if anyone else has a similar setup.
Any suggestions?

Seeking solution to missing Wi-Fi Calling function/toggle

I searched the forums and couldn't find a good answer to this.
My current carrier allows for Wi-Fi Calling (T-Mobile MVNO), and the function worked fine with my phone's stock OS. However since flashing Lineage OS 16 I've noticed there's no Wi-Fi Calling option or toggle available anywhere in the settings.
Is there a known method for enabling this function in Lineage OS? A workaround solution or 3rd party app perhaps?
Thank you kindly

T-Mobile WiFi calling will not stay enabled

Ever since my LG G7 was updated to Android Pie, the WiFi calling feature disables itself randomly. There is a thread about this on the T-Mobile support site, with many people complaining about the issue but the support staff only offers the usual delete cache and data or reset the phone which does not solve the problem. I do not have service at my house and without WiFi calling, I have no connectivity, so this is a serious issue for me. I have changed phones in the meantime. I am surprised that I do not see any chatter about the issue here. One thing that I did notice listed in reference to the Android Pie update on the T-Mobile site is this: "Android 9.0, Wi-Fi calling set to 'cellular preferred', May Security update". I suspect that whatever some hack did setting WiFi calling to "cellular preferred" is what broke it.
Any ideas possible work arounds?
