Eth + WiFi At the Same Time

[JDB]

Hi,

So I'm trying to use my Tinker to control a fishtank - the fishtank broadcasts it's own WiFi network (cannot connect to an AP though, very annoying and part of the reason I got the Tinker).

So the idea is to have the Tinker Ethernet to my router for management and connect to the fishtank WiFi to control it.

I'm using Android as the fishtank has a native Android App already, so will be much easier to start there. I have tcpdump installed and ready to sniff the packets it sends so I can replicate them myself.

The problem is Android doesn't allow more than 1 network connection active at the same time (as it's used to prioritising 3G/4G vs WiFi). Of course with these Tinkers that is just annoying!

I found a solution for Android 5.1, but 6.0.1 is alluding me.

This is the guide I found;

And this is a link to the section of source code as close as I could find to Tinker's version of 6.0.1 (it's about 9 lines out comparing it to the smali output);
https://github.com/aosp-mirror/platform_...java#L4424

I tried changing it in a few ways (basically to prevent it from 'lingering') but to no avail. I'm really hoping someone here can point out the right place to tweak the smali file!! I'm sure Eth+WiFi would be handy for many of us!

Thanks in advance!
