Check your file permissions, you may have only "read" access. Need to add "write" too.
---------8/18/13 WIFI MALFUNCTION----------
It appears wifi malfunction on that rom but not only .ALL new hardware (MORE-LESS) with a new wifi chip are no full compatible with JB 4.1.2 (.Even stock Vodafone...B171)
I resolve it in my device and now testing... .If some one want it just let me know. maybe i could make a patch.
As a say wifi fix is ready:
But there is no time for flash zips(…).Be patient.
Instractions:
DOWNLOAD FIX ARCHIVE http://www.4shared.com/rar/AF266kS1/..._wifi_FIX.html
(ALL ARCHIVES TESTED FOR VIRUS AND OTHER MALICIOUS AND IS SAFE) A V A S T
You need a good file explorer (I use rootexplorer)
Aprox 10 minutes of time.
-extract zip to sdcard
-TURN OFF WIFI
-open root explorer go to /data/misc/
AND DELETE WIFI FOLDER
1 . FROM EXTRACTED FOLDER
COPY /LIB folder AND copy /paste all (4) files to -- /system/lib/ (and replace existing)
THEN GIVE THEM (4) , PERMISSION RW-R-R each (FROM EXPLORER SELECT PERMISSIONS)
2 .GO TO SYSTEM FOLDER: /SYSTEM/WIFI/ ON YOUR SYSTEM PARTITION AND DELETE ALL FILES/FOLDERS
3 .GO AGAIN TO zip EXTRACTED FOLDER and COPY/PASTE ALL STUFF FROM /WIFI FOLDER To -- /SYSTEM/WIFI/
FINALLY GIVE TO ALL FILES RW-R-R PERMISSION ON /SYSTEM.WIFI/ AND FOR FOLDERS(2) RWXR-XR-X
REBOOT
NOW YOUR WIFI MUST BE PERFECT

I solved the problem with this method published on another website:
"
Press these menu options on your phone: Settings > Wi-fi> (Choose your network by tapping on it for a few seconds) > Modify network config
Check "Show advanced options"
Choose IP Settings: "Static"
Enter these details
IP - 192.168.1.253 or 195.168.1.253 (I chose 192.168.1.253)
Gateway - 192.168.1.1 (I chose 192.168.1.1 since that's my router address)
NPL - 24
Netmask - 255.255.255.0 (I could not find this option)
DNS 1 - 8.8.4.4 or 8.8.8.8 (I had the latter by default and let it stay)
DNS 2 - 4.4.4.4
And save.
It just connected in a few milliseconds. "

HelP!
Hello Friend, can you please leave the links link? They are fallen and I want to solve the problem
Sometimes we see that play store is saying "can't establish a reliable connection" but all other apps are working well with Internet connection.if you aren't a root user u have to simply restore your phone. But root user need to work with hosts
1. Install "root explorer" on your phone.
2.go to root tab.
3.here you will see a folder "etc".
4.go to "etc" folder.
5.here you will see a file "hosts"
6.change the writing permission from "ro" to "rw".
7.long press your finger on "hosts" file.
8.select "open with text editor".
9.here you will see some or many ip address.
10.now just put a hash symbol(#) before the second ip. Like this #127.0.0.1
11.but if you see some extra text before the second ip like this "#ads_blocked_by_lucky_patcher#". You have to remove this. Then put a # before the second ip.
12.save the edited hosts file.
13.exit from root explorer.
14.reboot your mobile
This tips work must
Thanks to everybody

The AOSP Broser APK is here.
installaion Guide:
Use any file manager(viz. ES File manager etc.) application navigate to "system>priv-app"
Now search for the default browser apk and odex file here. For example in LG G2 it is LGBrowser.apk and LGBrowser.odex.
Cut these file from here and paste to some other location. This is the backup of default broswser in case you would like to revert the changes.
Restart the device.
Now you have two ways to install the AOSP Browser First:
General method:
Click on the "apk" and install like evry other app.
If unable to install; check and see if you have checked on unknown resources(under Settings>Security)
System app method:
copy and paste the "Browser.apk" apk inside "system>priv-app"
set permissions as following: Owner- R,W,E; Group- R; Others- R
and you are GOOD TO GO!!
HAVE FUN!!
Didn't work on Sony Xperia Z1C either method. Thanks anyway. Am rooted and unlocked.
I got it working but set permissions to r-r-r
