By default Android won't see Adhoc Wireless Networks. Change your wpa_supplicant as explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115610
Worked for me in a Galaxy S. Backup your original file, anyway.

[ Solved ] Working 100% - Enable WiFi ad-Hoc Network for both ICS / GB -htc Sensation

[ Solved ] Working 100% - Enable WiFi ad-Hoc Networking for Both ICS and GB for htc Sensation
For GB , this Patch will enable ad-hoc 100% steady connection for both ( WEP and open Networks ) , Also Hotspot WPA2-PSK is still able to connect
For ICS , the APK will enable ad-hoc 100% steady connection with Full WiFi Signal for both ( WEP and open Networks ) , and for Hotspot WPA2-PSK use through regular wifi menu
General
Android does not show this Ad-hoc networks ( it Finds them in the search , but filters them out of the shown results ) , this patch prevent that filtering and shows those ad-hoc networks
There are two types of WiFi Networks :
Infrastructure ( Hotspot ) WPA,WPA2-PSK which is the most secured connection , usually routers broadcast this
Ad-hoc it is either WEP or open network which is less security , usually issued through a laptop connected to a DSL line to broadcast a temporary WiFi connection

for Rooted devices​
ad-Hoc Networking for GB
Download Link
See attached Patch Ad-hoc Sensation-Ad-hoc.zip ( Full Credit and thanks to leeDroid )
ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher APK can also work with GB , But i prefer the permanent solution of the above Patch for GB
Apply the Patch
it is always good to do a Backup for your data , Or Just Backup the original file " wpa_supplicant " located in System\bin .
to restore the original file " wpa_supplicant " any time :
just open the Patch in a winrar window and navigate to System\bin and over-right the one in the Patch with the original ( you can get the original from your Rom zip ) . apply the modified Patch from recovery and you are back to the original
if you use Root Explorer to restore the original file ,make sure to set the correct permissions and ownership values
Clear Dalvik cache , and install the Patch from recovery as usual
ad-Hoc Networking for ICS
it is always good to do a NAND Backup for your Rom and data
there is an APK named " ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher " which i geuss is not intended for Sensation but can support additional devices in the try Mode , this APK has two modes
infrastructure mode infrastructure mode.jpg ( will not be used , for Hotspot WPA2-PSK use regular wifi menu )
and " Just to try " ad-hoc mode for non supported devices Just to try ad-hoc mode.jpg that we interested in
the " Just to try " ad-hoc mode worked fine with Sensation
it connects fast , very steady connection with full Wifi Signal and a fast WiFi Data transfer , Ad-hoc it is working for both WEP or open network , Please note that some firewalls could prevent you from connecting even after adjusting its settings
Ad-hoc ( open Network ) :
open network connection doesn't require a Password ,
to modify either SSID name or WEP password , go to setting while you are in infrastructure mode and modify or clear the name in SSID then just switch back to Just to try mode and enable WiFi
if you clear ( remove ) the default name in SSID , this lets the device find and connect automatically to any open ad-hoc you establish from your laptop for example with any name of your choice ( on condition that your ad-hoc connection should be the only available ad-hoc connection in range ) ,
if you leave the default name in SSID "Android tether " as it is , it will only look for a connection with the name "Android tether " that is issued from your laptop and it will not detect any ad-hoc connection with any other name
if there is more than one open network in range that can be seen by the APK then
tip 1 : name the connction in your laptop same as in device SSID ( i.e android tether )
this is because if there is more than one open ad-hoc network and you left the SSID name empty , you can not control which connection the APK will choose to connect to
tip 2 : or use Ad-hoc ( WEP Network )
Ad-hoc ( WEP Network ) :
if you want to use WEP connection , go to setting while you are in infrastructure mode then enter SSID name and Password then switch back to Just to try and enable wifi WEP Password.jpg
the name of the connection should be the same name of the connection you started on your laptop for example
there is a complete help for the APK when you press the thin line under setting
Superuser.APK
if you are using the normal Super user APK opens normal , But if you are using the New SuperSU APK there will be a delay of maybe 5 sec for starting or executing Commands
please read this first #70 , Please note that this APK is not fully compatible with sensation although it worked fine with me
there is another APK ( try it if you like to ) named " WiFi AD HOC enabler " which doesn't really work good ( very weak signal and disconnects frequently ) , or at least this is what i experienced
Connectify Pro
there is a small yet powerful PC Software Called Connectify Pro ( i can't do without it ) that does three things :
it is for windows users
Acts like an actual hardware Router ( Not software networking )
toggle wifi with a single click for either ad-hoc or hotspot ( can start the same ad-hoc connection after reboot )
automatically does all complicated configurations for all types of network to fit with your firewall and windows , also share and transfer files among other options
Press the thanks Button for this Post
There is an application similar to connectify, hostapd for ubuntu which I use all the time . But both the application ( connectify and hostapd is hardware depended . If your wifi Card supports infrastructure mode or master mode , then only they will work. ) So this work around will help those users.
Thanks for your post dear..

i literally cannot figure this out... the instructions are really vague. "install the patch as usual from recovery" what is usual? you dont say. i backed up the wpa file and just used root explorer to overwrite it and it instantly broke my wifi. i restored the original so it came back fine but i dont know how to install patch from recovery as usual. obviously the APK says i dont have all of the files and must close. please help. running ICS viperrom 1.01

ok, after reading the post for the 10th time i guess im not supposed to apply the patch since im on ICS? well, i restored completely to before i tried to get adhoc working and just installed the APK and it still didnt work. said i didnt have all the files and it must close. the link to the APK in the play store doesnt work because sensation isnt supported and i just had to find it online. Could it maybe be the APK that im using? Does anyone have a working one they could send to me or any ideas to a solution?
It's not work with the latest Sense 4 build (HTC Ville C2 latest RUU (1.11.401.110) Android 4.0.3 ICS). So can you tell me how did you do with the wpa_supplicant file please? I want to modify it myself.
is it only working for HTC OR any GB ROM ?
Thanks
what are the specific steps in applying the patch?
whats needed? and steps?
thanks
Is it just depends on replacing wpa_supplicant file, or something more?
Because author of this apk said that file is vary for various devices, and I'd like to request for Onda V972 V1.
Apk doesn't work.
Can I just replace it without recovery, or is a stock recovery does the same in case of not having other one?
edit.
Here is how to compile proper wpa_supplicant file for your Android version:

●●[ROOTED][GUIDE]Wifi Reverse teTher-Windows and Ubuntu-Ad hoc Networks●●
This guide teaches you to reverse tether your Android phone via WiFi. That is, it allows you to use your Ethernet connection of PC on your Android phone. It is useful for those who do not have WiFi routers and data connection. So if you have unlimited data plan for your computer, why not share the connection with your phone?
I am not the developer of the files supplied
Requirements:-
1.Rooted Phone
2.Wifi enabled Laptop or PC
3.Root explorer or any other application which gives system access
4.File in the attachement
Procedure :-
Phone:
Download Wpa_supplicant.zip and extract "wpa_supplicant" from it, save it on your SD card.
Open Root Explorer, and grant it superuser access when asked for.
Navigate to system -> bin and long press on wpa_supplicant; Select copy, and paste the file into any folder on your SD card.
Now navigate to the file you downloaded, copy it in same way, and paste it back to system -> bin. Note, you might need to mount the system as R/W instead of R/O by pressing a button on the top just before pasting the file.
Reboot.
▬▬Ubuntu (Must work for other Linux Distros too)▬▬:
Open Network Connections
Goto Wireless tab, select add, and set the following:
SSID: <Any_name_you_like>
Mode: Ad hoc
Leave other things unchanged, and go to Ipv4 settings tab
Set method to Shared to other computers
Go to Wireless security tab and set Security to WEP 40/128 bit key and set key to a numeric password (or hexadecimal one).
Check the connect automatically box on top of the tabs and press Save.
Your Android phone must now detect this network, and you can establish the connection by using your security key.
▬▬Windows XP, Vista, 7▬▬
Download and Install Connectify from www . connectify.me/download-lite/
Start Connectify Hotspot by giving a name and password to your hotspot and selecting the Ethernet connection to share. Make sure the security type is WEP or Open.
Disable your firewall (Simply adding it to exceptions doesn't work for AVG at least)
Now your phone should be able to see the hotspot and establish the connection using the password set.
Known Issues :
1.Random disconnections (Very less frequency)
2.Disconnections due to screen lock / sleep on laptop
3.For me Security mode does not works
HIT THANKS IF IT WORKED
ENJOY
Hope it works....

check ur PC's spec
or
If you still haven't found anything to indicate that your computer is Wi-Fi enabled, right-click on "Computer" again, select "Manage" and "Device Manager." Then click on the "Hardware" tab. Read the list below "Network Adapters." Note that any adapter labeled "Ethernet" or "10/100" has nothing to do with wireless compatibility. However, any adapter labeled "wireless" or "802.11" indicates compatibility.

Working MAC spoofer solution for recent Android 6 marshmallow smartphones?

I've been looking for a working MAC spoofer solution (app/mod/patch) for a test phone running Android Marshmallow but I didn't find anything that works.
currently the test device is a LG G3 running fulmics ROM 5.0 (based on Android marshmallow / LG 30F), but it seems the matter is rather android 6.x related.
The Aim is to change/spoof temporarily or permanently the hardware MAC address of the internal network adapter (eth0, but mainly wlan0).
So there are a lot of apps out there in the market which claim to do exactly that. I tried many of them, but nothing works as intended.
To name a few of them:
- Wifi Mac Changer
- ChameleMAC
- Mac Address Ghost
- MacChanger
- MacSpoofer
- many more tested
- Phone ID Changer / Device ID Changer app/module for xposed
even the most promising one:
- Pry-Fi by chainfire
does not work, it just crashes while trying to spoof.
all of them claim to change the mac, but it's not working on this device or general on an android 6.x version.
either they crash or they fail in spoofing.
so I tried to spoof the MAC manually in a Terminal with BusyBox installed and a command like:
busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55, checked if it worked with iplink cmd and it did. But when I try to connect to my access point, I can't join the wifi network it always neglects my pw. when I turn wifi on/off, the MAC gets reset to original hardware MAC and I can again connect to my wifi AP.
So even when trying to spoof the MAC manually it doesn't work.
And I don't know if it is a problem with Android 6.x, the device itself or the ROM i used.
Does anybody else have a working mac spoofer solution for an Android 6.x version smartphone or have an idea how to this working?
Did you also try connecting to an open network after the busybox method ? I read somewhere the pw issue was only when connecting to secured networks.
Other than that ... I'm also looking for a reliable solution. No luck so far.
Also , you might want to try / read http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-network-ghost-mac-hostname-spoofer-t3145866
Is explains why the busybox method fails with WPA networks.
thanx for the link. It was interesting.
unfortunately the app doesn't work either. so we still have no working solution or app that does spoof the mac on marshmallow devices.

Connect your Android device with a USB-Cable to your PC
In the Wireless & networks section (you might need to click on "More..." on some android devices), Try to activate the USB Internet. Now choose the os .(doesn't really matter)
Now there should be check mark on USB internet.(if you're doing this for the first time. You may be prompted and that's ok)
Now on the Windows network connection tab on PC right click the the network you want to share->properties>sharing tab and check mark for allow other users to connect.
