[Q] Changing Mac Address - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried all traditional methods for changing mac address on an android device.
None of them seem to work on Ace though.
I'v even tried a few known-to-work apps.
Any work arounds?
I am on Democracy ROM.
Is this a kernel thing?

Okay.
So, I've tried looked up on "Mac address Changer", "Spoof Mac Address", "Mac address" on google play and tried a LOT of apps. (Cant remember their names).
Also I tried the following terminal method.
su
busybox iplink show eth0
busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Got the error

Bump.

You're supposed to type 'su' first, otherwise you don't have root access. Also, try wlan0 instead of eth0 if it still doesnt work

[APP] ConnectBot for Honeycomb

Posted this on my Twitter (@ruqqq) yesterday. Not sure how many people use ConnectBot (like I do). But anyway, I took a whole day to learn Fragment API and decided to use ConnectBot as my "test subject". Below is the result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Code:
[B]Features:[/B]
- Standard ConnectBot features
- ActionBar UI
- Fragments UI
[B]Known bug:[/B]
- While a console is open, if you click the EditText on bottom right, the console will lose focus. When that happens, click the list item of the current console to regain focus.
YOU NEED TO UNINSTALL THE CURRENT CONNECTBOT ON YOUR DEVICE BEFORE INSTALLING THIS VERSION BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT SIGNATURES
GitHub Link: https://github.com/ruqqq/connectbot
APK Link: REUPLOADED
I won't continue developing this and I hope somebody out there would improve the code. I've also mention ConnectBot lead developer in my tweet in hope he see this link and would merge my changes.
I get a force close when I 'sudo tail'
sudo tail?
EDIT: Reuploaded with major bugfix thanks to @mattyboy247 report
Attempting to 'sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log'
FC's at 'sudo tail'
you meant you ran the command on your server? anyway.. try the reuploaded apk.
With the first APK uploaded, after a connection to the server, I would attempt to view its apache2 error log. imediately after typing 'sudo tail ' it would FC.
The re uploaded one seems to be working now. Thanks for this.
I'll fork your Git for future reference to the code, that way I am not depending on you to see why I'm having problems, and can attempt to correct them
sure. please do. i'm only porting the UI for my use and for learning fragment api. i don't intend to further develop or maintain this.
Love the app,
but is there anyway to disable volume control for the control the text size?
is there a way to hide the host list?
What does this do if I may ask?
much apreaciated man, it works wonderfull on my gtab 10.1v.

yeah what does it do? Oo
same thing as connectbot, SSH terminal connections but with a modified UI for honeycomb tablets.
Did you send a pull request on github? Best way to get him to merge things. I know for a fact he watches those.
I have a fork with modification to use Search key on a Transformer for ESC. So I'll learn how to use the pull request function with you.
Great app idea! I love it. One problem though - didn't install for me. Running rooted stock HC 3.1 on Asus Transformer. I do have the original Connectbot installed, would that have anything to do with it?

D'OH! my bad - thanks for the heads up.
hey arctu, thanks for this, i use connectbot almost every day!
Hello there,
can anybody upload apk somewhere and make a mirror? OP's link doesn't work for me ATM.
TIA
Hi arctu
I just wonder why you used the base ConnectBot.
I prefer the already modified version, Irssi ConnectBot, which sports a bunch of features such as the long touch menu, symbols, device and language specific fixes, etc.
I used to use ConnectBot for local terminal emulating, but then I discovered that one modified for irssi and now I can't do a lot of things on my X10i without it.
I hope you will start to modify Irssi ConnectBot as well.

I think this proxy is automatically populated by your mobile carrier. See if you can delete this without causing any issues. Note that if you change these addresses SMS or any similar mobile features may not work as expected.
Just use Adfree, it edit the hosts file. Works very well on all my devices.

Removing the proxy setting shouldn't have any negative effect. SMS/MMS are handled via separate fields in the APN setting

Read what the message says and follow those instructions.
Attached is pictures of what you need to wipe out. May look slightly different on your phone, as mine is still on gingerbread, because i like the sense UI.
just in case clearing the proxy does break something, write down what is there before you wipe it.
Not sure about adaway, but i must say adfree is the best...
i seem to be using it for ages and never had an issue.
goto market download 'adfree' by i think tin can or something...
install it...
a pop up will come with 2 options, just choose boot normally.
it'll offer to download some new files, let it.
once its finished reboot your device & your phone will be ad free

Check in SDK manager, the last one, check the box and download.

I had the same issue.
You need to enable virtualization in the BIOS.
Just checked the virtualizations check boxes, and this issue will be resolved.
Make sure you have installed HAXM installer on your SDK Manager.

Looks like your PC doesn't support HAXM. You need to try other from that(×86 emulator won't work on your PC). Try ARMv7 or google APIs system image for your AVD.

AFAIK, your hardware is not compatible to do so, not sure which one but either one of this need to be upgrade, Your CPU/GPU/motherboard. But I think it's CPU, well of course if only it is upgradable. But for now, better try other than x86 emulator.
Let's hope if someone have a better solution to make it possible will jump in your post.

After you download SDK and make sure you run the setup located in: {SDK_FOLDER}\extras\inte\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm.exe
Make sure in Android Studio, the command "intelhaxm.exe" has been changed to "intelhaxm-android.exe". And if you get the error "VT not supported" during the installation disable Hyper-V on windows features. You can execute this command dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V. You will also need "Virtualization Technology" to be enabled on your BIOS.

You should try it, and follow lisaquach every single word, as she know it well , I believe. Actually I'm going to give it ago to my old laptop. As I've been told x86 emulator is less buggy/most stable then others.

Auto Wi-Fi ON option not found on sony xperia xz1

Anyone able to enable the new Oreo auto wifi On option? It seems this option is not on the native software of the xz1 compact like it is on other devices.

U guys have instructions on what u used on how u did it.?? I would really appreciate it
So I think the issue is the adb command window won't recognize my phone. I get an error no devices emulators found when I type the adb shell command. Download loaded the software multiple times. Phone set to debug etc. Not sure what I am missing....

Maybe you're missing drivers?
So I downloaded the Xperia driver. Unzipped. Do I need to do anything else to the driver software? Sorry a newbie here.

When you plug in the phone to the computer, there's probably an unknown device in Device Manager. Right click on it and choose update drivers, then select the folder you unzipped the drivers to and let Windows install it.
OK did that. It won't let me install the xz1 driver that I downloaded. Keeps telling me current driver (mtp USB) is the most current and up to date driver. Try to work around it but it keeps preventing me from installing the new driver. And if I delete the driver and unplug replug in phone it automatically installs that previous driver.
Well, I'm out of ideas, sorry I couldn't be of help.
Well I appreciate all the suggestions. I'll keep playing around. Not that important of a feature to go to all this trouble. Thanks again!
Works for me (Windows 10 Fall Creators Update on pc, xz1 compact v47.1.A.2.374)
just wondering, this option only turns on the wifi? not off?

Just in case....did you enable USB debugging?
Yeah usb debugging good. Pretty sure it's all bc my laptop is not letting the phone be recognized by the command prompt. I'm gonna try it on the wife's laptop tonight. See if that works...
Have you tried IFTTT or tasker? You can setup to get the location and turn wifi on or off based on that

You can also use the app "WiFi Automatic" from j4velin: works wery well. Actually i'm using this app to auto disable wifi if not connect for more than 5 minuts, leaving the auto reenable to android 8 built-in option, but you can define on or more zone (by GSM cell) for auto re-enable

Surfshark on Manjaro - Stuck on setting up

I don't know why I'm even doing this. My build is pretty locked own as it is and I've use nmap to determine I have no open ports, etc.
BUt still ,I pay for it, so why not, right??
However, using How to set up Surfshark VPN on Linux Manjaro? I'm getting stuck at setting up a new VPN.
In the steps,
Enter the following command to install the Network Manager for the OpenVPN Client:
pacman -Q networkmanager-openvpn
If the Network Manager is already on your device, you will see the following command:
networkmanager-openvpn 1.8.6-1
That works out just right, but no option to add a VPN in my Network Settings

So moving on, I try to reinstall the Network Manager for OpenVPN
If the Network Manager is not installed, run the following two commands:
pacman -S networkmanager-openvpn
systemctl restart networkmanager
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The first command reinstalls the manager but the second command fails
Which means I still have no option to add a VPN,
In other words, I never see this:
So what am I missing??
I've personally never used surfshark before but you've got the package that you need to import your VPN's .ovpn file. Once you've got that package installed for NetworkManager are you saying that it's not giving you the option to create and import the .ovpn file in the NetworkManager settings?

That's exactly what I'm saying. I've tried several times after reboots, etc and no luck.
looking at your screenshots a little closer you're trying to access the incorrect service. network manager is `
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
` take not of the casing of NetworkManager.
Not sure what DE you're using XFCE? I personally use KDE. In the network settings of KDE there is a "+" on the bottom left
Then in the next menu that pops up there will be a section for "VPN connections" in that section, after you restart NetworkManager, will be an OpenVPN option
Then click "create" in those menus there should be an option to upload your .ovpn file that should auto-fill the settings with the information from your .ovpn.
actually if you scroll down further in that menu there is an option for importing a VPN setting (a lot like your one screenshot)
if I click on that it opens up my file manager where I can pick the .ovpn file.
Does yours give you that option?
