WA Enhancer not working anymore.

[usamaiqbal1177]

I have compatible Whatsapp version 2.26.23.74.

WAE was working fine but out of nowhere today, it stopped working. Please see the error it is giving in toast notification.

[ERROR-PREFS]Unable to read WAE preferences. Contact the Developer.

Your logs are polluted by a module called fucklocation; there are hundreds of errors from this module. Please disable it, restart your phone, and collect the logs again.

I have the same problem I think:

This is a bug in your root or Lsposed system. If you're using Vector, you need to use the build versions, not the release versions. Em sex., 26 de jun. de 2026 13:09, vslmc ***@***.***> escreveu:

I'm using lsposed-it not vector but I will look into it maybe it resolves it self with a switch to vector.

But , it worked before updating WAE to a never version (I think I was pre kotlin rewrite) and it works for other modules/apps just fine

[Dev4Mod]

it's not a rewrite issue, see that this error is happening when reading the preferences file, this is a file that Lsposed manages but needs SElinux permission, so also check if you made any updates on the root or something like that.

[vslmc]

Thank you for informing me, I will then try to redo root and lsposed properly
I actually did an os update and reapplied root/ls as usual and updated wae and wa alongside it; I was under the impression that because everything else works it was rather an app then an infrastructure bug.
So I will fix it as recommended but it seems there may be different approaches to access the Prefs without triggering an underlying ls/root bug. I understand that's not your "problem" to sidestep user made problems though
