[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneMoreMember:
Thanks a lot bro! but even i feel the same design isnt that good, i dont like the bottom part of xperia s, i was thinking of Arc S ? what do u think? i know its old model but it has ICS and i like the design. if u think thats a good phone. Please tell me a few things when u have time.

1 - does the flash tool work with arc s?

2 - can i get the stock ics rom on xda? incase i mess up with a custom rom :p
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:
arc s has a pretty good support on xda..u will get everything you want..u can use flashtools and there are many custom ROMs and stock based ROMs here on xda. Arc s is a sexy phone...which can handle normal daily loads..and it is also very cheap. but only thing is it is old now..dual core smarphones have conquered the mobile market..but still arc s processor is quiet fast and can easily be overclocked till 1.6Ghz :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneMoreMember:
SUPERB! if there is good support on XDA for arc s i will go for that! thanks a lot for ur helpful reply bro :) .. i appreciate it a lot :)

Thanks!

Just tried patching the kernel, it works! So, this feature will be included in my next kernel.

Before flashing the patched kernel, when I turn off wifi, delete .mac.info file, re-enable wifi, the MAC address is not changed.

However, after flashing the patched kernel, after I turn off wifi, delete .mac.info file and re-enable wifi, the MAC address is changed!

Thanks very much for the useful guideline from Adam77Root :good:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
I think your best bet would be the galaxy ace forums. You could search if there's an existing kernel with this functionality or else you could direct one of the kernel developers there to have a look at this thread.

...not on my refrigerator, but on my U8860

Hello experts,

since a long time I'm trying to fix my mutating MAC on a Huawei U8860 (so called Honor).

Your Thread gives me new hope. Atm I'm running a custom rom (baidu v.5, ROM 43) on my device.

Do you think, it's possible to insert the phrase into the kernel-source to make the MAC fix again? The wlan-chip is nearly the same as in your tested device (bcm4329).

What else do I have to patch? Is it necessary to write the MAC (seen on the label under battery) into any config-file?

I apprecheate your help - thanx for reading...

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bryfly:
We Have 2 coolpad f1's from China running MTK6592 Octa Core and both have the same Mac address and I need to change one, have tried all of the spoofing tools that I can find and the phone will not allow the change.

Have tried a couple of methods for permanent change, changing mac address via hex editor and saving, + via terminal emulator changing the mac but the phone just puts it back to the original one. Also tried a method from a Chinese forum which also fails.

I found a comment to delete the NVRAM and let it reinstall.....did not work.

Have tried two different custom rom's which have both have different mac addresses, so guess the mac address must be able to be altered by the ROM.

Downloaded "Adam77root" Kernel mac change ZIP which I have not got a clue what to do with. Any ideas gratefully received..........

As far as I understand, I'd need to patch my kernel, right? Because I don't have the folder called "drivers".

SIOCSIFHWADDR: operation not supported

This is my problem.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Frizz74:
Changing a MAC address is in no way illegal. The MAC address is only transferred from your device to the access point and can't go anywhere further, it's use is restriced on the first hop. However, if a router traces MAC addresses and stores them, the address itself may shows up in the log file and may be used for further processing.

However there's technically no risk in changing the MAC address to access a certain hotspot.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Thargorsson:
As this is a thread for Samsung , Lenovo might have a different folder to store the Mac or it's in binary somewhere... You need to search manually for it.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] greatogreat:
Is there any chance we could get this to work with other devices who use the bcmdhd wireless driver?

I found out that reading the MAC address from /efs/.mac.info seems to be the default mechanism in many stock ROMs for other Galaxy devices. I can say that this file also resides there for my GT-I9505 ("jfltexx") and I've read somewhere else that this is also the standard mechanism in GT-I9506 ("ks01lte") stock ROMs.

While it seems that Adam77Root readded this functionality in the GT-I9103's ("n1") CM 10 kernel, it wasn't in the ks01lte's CM 12 kernel and it doesn't seem to be in the LOS 14.1 kernel for the JF device family.

Could anyone more knowledgeable than me have a look at the kernel sources?

i have two questions about my galaxy s3

the second thing is that yesterday my phone asked me to make an update so i update it but it took the call icon that comes with every name in the call log that was in the previous version so i checked the software info and it read android 4.0.4 so is that normal ?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waheed wattoo:
Once i tried a new ics firmware. And because of that my note got bricked(i guess you all know that issue)

I revived Note with emmc. Pit file for bricked phones but after that day my note had some really serious issues like freezing on screen,not booting up some times.

I guess i have bad blocks(stops while scaning on partition scanner).

I dont know how to fix this.

I am sick of restarting Note again and again

Any help???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
Try flashing stock GB firmware for your region and then full wipe including internal and external SD card (after backup though), if that too doesn't help and if you are covered under warranty then send it to service center.

I said stock firmware for your region as that can help you in claiming warranty.

Hi, I had the exact situation like you. You able to work it out ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
If you've repartition the emmc chip there will be damaged sections. Often this means that stock roms will not function very well any more as they utilise a lot of the damaged partitions. One way around is to flash a deodexed or cm based ROM as they take up a hell of a lot less space on the damaged partitions.

If you aren't able to claim warranty, then this is a workaround and effective, if you do have warranty, flash stock gb and claim it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZatanRoy:
I want to send it to service center, should I make it at the bricked stage and say I just wipe on stock ICS without knowing anything ? or send it at stock gb ??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R@J$3K#@R:

[Motorola Photon 4G] jahildebra:
Hellooo~!

I'm a tad new to the world of Android Development, but have plenty of programming history. I'm going to be starting a project to get Arch Linux running on my Photon 4G, and am contemplating making this public. My end goal is to get it working on the Photon, with a working on-screen keyboard, decent battery life, and lapdock/HDMI/peripheral support.

If you're a bit skeptical, know that there is a distribution of Arch Linux that supports ARMv5-v7 processors.

So before I begin my journey, I want to know:

Is anyone interested in this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbaumert:
Sounds interesting. It appears you may be doing something different than the typical chroot method? As an Archlinux desktop user, a phone version would be cool.

Best of luck with your project. If you need testers, I would be willing to try to help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Mighty ambitious! Im definitely interested in this. Arch is one of my favorite distributions. I'm concerned about the usability of it though. What desktop environment would you aim to use? Are there any that I'm unaware of that that are geared toward mobile phones?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jahildebra:
Glad to see you're interested!

As far as getting Arch on the phone, I want to the phone to boot straight into the Arch environment without the Android system in the background. This may not be possible due to the phones bootloader, but if anything I'll have an extremely minimal version of Android acting as a crutch for Arch, helping it to boot up and perform other operations. The system should be 90% Arch Linux.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Please don't take this the wrong way but as long as it has nothing to do with the current chroot/VNC method I'm all for it. The chroot method lacks access to the phone's hardware so things like audio, USB host don't work.

If chroot/VNC is what you are trying to avoid then you may want to look at Gentop2 and kholk's original Gentop project. This should give you an idea as to how they achieved framebuffer and hardware access. If you want to provide support for Tegra2 Moto's you'll need to keep the install below 755MB for Atrix support unless a webtop2sd type method will be used.

Another thing you may want to consider is that the upcoming ICS update and AOSP lack the needed framebuffer/HW access. You may need to hack and kang a far bit to get ICS and AOSP support.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jahildebra:
Hahah, I was just thinking about that myself. As per my knowledge, there are ZERO DE's geared towards phones. We could come pretty close to the mobile-phone experience using a tablet/netbook-oriented DE, similar to Unity. Unity is capable of running on Arch, but I don't know if it's ARM compatible, or how smoothly it would run on a small processor like the Tegra 2. If anything I could just configure an Xmonad environment that runs entirely off of mouse/touch gestures.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Unity can run on ARM and is pretty but fairly resource heavy. Canonical has Ubuntu 12 running on an Atrix2 but have no intention of releasing source at this time. I would suggest staying with a lightweight "Unity like" enviro. This will free up resources for other things.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Might I suggest OpenBox? Extremely lightweight and easily configurable to suit the needs of a small screen. Desktops and windows are easily manageable from a single bottom bar, all application categories pop up in a menu when taping on any part of the 'desktop', all with gradients and transparency as needed so to still be slick looking. My mental imagine of the setup would be similar to that of Webos and easily achievable and user friendly. A particular distribution that i've been using for a while whom has really made the flexibility of Openbox shine is Crunchbang. The dude who runs the distro has developed many little GUI utilities that are made to configure Openboxs' script-based setup. So if you decided to use it, a lot of work is already done so to speak. Check it out and see if you get any inspiration!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jahildebra:
Thanks for the suggestion! I've never used OpenBox before, but I've heard its customizability is similar to Xmonad's.

I'll check it out!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
What's your intended target user base? Will it Linux n00b, average linux user or linux power user?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jahildebra:
Mainly average/power users. Arch Linux is definitely not for the weak hearted.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Well, generally speaking, Arch is most certainly not for Linux noobs :P

::edit::

Haha, totally didnt see there was a page 2. Jahildebra already said it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
The reason I asked is that I agree that Arch "out of the box" is more "power user" than say Ubuntu Desktop but not much more so than most server distros. It would really depend on what extras are put in. Arch running Gnome with all the bells and whistles could be very n00b friendly if set up with them in mind. Then again my perspective may be a little off as I still remember Mandrake coming on floppies with only a command line installer.:o
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Nah I get what you're sayin. As long as you hook people up with multimedia codecs, a good package manager, and some necessary apps i think even noobs would be happy. And I havnt heard anyone mention Mandrake in many years since Mandriva. I popped into the linux scene around Ubuntus dapper drake release. Ever since Ive ran debian.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jahildebra:
Well, it seems like there's interest aplenty.

I'll be starting the project as soon as possible. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
More interest will arrive when some solid progress is made im sure. I do have a question though.. Im a little unsure of how you plan to get sms, mms, data and such working on this. Or maybe i missed the point entirely. Is it not meant to be a fully functional replacement of android?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jahildebra:
That will be one of the biggest challenges, alongside getting Arch to boot initially and having the phone be usable even without a physical keyboard. I plan to at least have 3G working, but I don't quite know how that will play out. None of the devices Arch Linux ARM has a release for have a 3G radio in the first place, so we have no examples to follow, and we'll have to figure this out on our own.
