Better Internet Tiles

Bring back Wi-Fi and mobile data tiles on Android 12!

Better Internet Tiles: Simplify Your Connectivity

"Better Internet Tiles" is an Android app that reinstates useful Wi-Fi and mobile data quick-settings tiles for Android 12. By offering a unified tile, this app streamlines your connectivity by allowing you to toggle between Wi-Fi and mobile data with just one tap. For users needing more control, a long-press on the tile redirects to Wi-Fi settings. Shell access via Shizuku or root is required for functionality, making it efficient and user-friendly for managing your internet connections.

SHELL ACCESS REQUIRED (Either via Shizuku or root)

This application aims to create a unified internet quick-settings tile, which is actually useful (I'm looking at you, Android 12). Next to this, separate Wi-Fi and mobile data tiles are also available if you just want to go back to the behavior of Android 11 or lower.

Tapping the new unified internet tile will simply toggle between Wi-Fi and mobile data, which is exactly what I want it to do most of the time. This reduces the amount of taps needed from 3 (tap tile, disable Wi-Fi, enable data) to just 1 quick tap. In situations where you still want more control, long pressing the tile will redirect you to the Wi-Fi settings.

Shell access is required to enable/disable Wi-Fi and mobile data, as well as for reading the SSID of the current Wi-Fi network. This can be granted using the Shizuku applicatioon (root not required) or root.

Works as intended. Adding a 4g/5g toggle would be extremely useful!!

I have been using it for a while and it seems quite handy but now recently it keeps getting disconnected and I have to connect again and again. On different wifi do I have to connect it again? Plus when I delete the app how to regain my original setting back cause the wifi and data tile is missing after deleting the app.
