Hello there. I try to change my mac address on my lenovo s930 , android 4.2.2

I tried with busybox and terminal emulator, i enter the following lines

$su

#busybox if config wlan0 down

(at this moment wifi go off but then its up again after few seconds)

#busybox if config wlan0 hw ether "mac address"

and at this point i get :

if config: siocsifhwaddr: operation not supported.

now from what i have read on the web, it is a problem is that my current driver or kernel do not support this kinda of operation, and then i tried to update my driver dialing *#*#526#*#* (yes i tapped 7 times on bild number to activate dev mode) but nothing happens, if face none of those code actualy works. then i tried to update my system , using system update from built in interface, it downloaded the new version but when i click "now restart installation" i get failed to install the new firmwware : enoent ( no such file or directory ).

now this brings me to my question, what to do now ? there is any other ways to change my mac ? or what should i try next ?

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandrinopi:
I usually protect my phone via a 4-digit pin that is always requested when display wakes up.

Is there any way to unlock the phone after the 4th digit has been correctly entered, without having to press th OK button also ?

This may sound a stupid feature (enter four digits instead of five) but it may result very useful when you only have one hand available.

Other phones, with stock (i.e. Ascend P7) or custom roms (i.e. Galaxy S3 with Cyanogenmod or AOKP) offered such feature, but cannot find in in the G4.

Many thanks

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
At least for Verizon, your PIN can be 4 digits or more (up to 16). So my guess is that this is for security reasons.

Let's say, for discussion, your PIN is 11111 (5 of them).

If I was trying to guess your PIN, I might start by just hitting a whole bunch of 1's. If the phone is only waiting for me to get it right, then as soon as I type 11111, it automatically unlocks. But if I have to enter a PIN, and then press OK submit it, this process gets more difficult. If I enter 111111 (6 of them, instead of 5), then press OK, it stays locked.

Admittedly, this explanation doesn't work if the number of digits is fixed at 4. But if you have the option to use a longer PIN, then it makes sense, to me, as a security measure.

Alternately, you might consider using Knock Code. This lets you select a pattern (for Verizon, 3-8 taps) on the screen. But it can be entered even with the screen off (it will detect the proper code, then automatically turn the screen on and unlock). You don't have to hit OK, and you can also enter it anywhere on the screen, if the screen is off. So it's good for doing 1-handed, even if you aren't looking at the screen. You don't need to hit any particular items on the screen, just make the proper pattern.

I'm just getting into ROM cooking, so I'm still a noob at this (can't quite get packages working yet), but I figured the extended ROM would be a relatively easy place to put some stuff I need every flash\HR, as it seems you just mount the ExtRom, clear it out, and add the files you want, then dump it using the same instructions off the wiki for dumping an OS.

So I have my ExtRom mounted, using the HERMES_MountExtROM_v2 cab, the security is definitely disabled according to M$'s Security Configuration Manager, and I've loaded the Development Certificates, but I still can't delete anything. It gives me a read-only\write protected\in use error.

So I'm obviously in over my head here, but you gotta start somewhere. I'm using Black Magic with the hope of cooking my own ROM based off the official ATT release using Pandora and Core Pro.

Here's the config file i want to put into the ExtRom (obviously with associated .cab's and the AutoRun file)

LOCK:Enabled

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Cingular_8525_keyboard_patch.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\HERMES_MountExtROM_v2.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\A2DPFix.cab

LOCK:Disabled

RST: Reset

(feel free to tell me I'm being an idiot, as long as ya tell me why I'm an idiot :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] todd_jg:
Try using a tweaker like HTweakC. You can find it here or at fit4cat.com. You will want to mount unlock the ExtROM - it works for me - should work for you.

Also, try disabling the lock BEFORE you install the cabs. It won't hurt anything - just locks out keyboard input AFAIK.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bilclintonsdaman:
still no luck

tried the tweaker, at first it said it wasn't unlocked so I unlocked it but i still can't delete anything, also tried the newer HERMES_MountALLExtROM.cab.

i thought it might be because i had the ATT ExtRom so i extracted the one from Schap's 3.30c, flashed it and tried everything again, but still to no avail.

i'm gonna hard reset and try everything again, but is there something i'm missing?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bilclintonsdaman:
GOT IT!

after a hard reset i installed the dev certs, ran olipro's patcher (which i don't think did anything), then ran the cab, and now i can delete everything. awesome!

so before i continue, is this what you meant with the config file? or should i just use my original?

LOCK:Disabled

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Cingular_8525_keyboard_patch.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\HERMES_MountALLExtROM.cab

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mikecarlone:
whats that "olipro's patcher"

my extended rom is visible now but i cannot either write or delete it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tony.wheeler:
Mike,

On WM6 ROMS the various tweakers cannot, alone, unlock the extended ROM. With an WM5 OS it is possible to use the many tweakers alone and they simply change the registry. The tweakers will indicate both unhidden (visible) abd mounted (writeable) but in fact the extended ROM can only be seen (read only) on any WM6 ROM.

So to get around this problem you will, on WM6, have to either use pofs SuperCID and SIM unlocker (here) first or run olipros patcher being referred to above (here). BEWARE! If you run pofs Super CID sotfware you will remove Hard SPL (and so risk, during this change, bricking your device) - so do not forget afterwards to re-install HardSPL. This Super CID change will also allow you to use any providers SIM card in your phone so it will be 'unlocked'.:)

Personally I used pofs solution but the downside of that is that you have changed your device so that any original supplier might not allow a warranty claim. But of course many of us have already accepted that by using HardSPL and other changes to the device installed ROM software.

[General Questions and Answers] msarro:
Hey everyone. I see tons of options for streaming the display from my phone to my tv, but what about the other way around?

In my situation, I am trying to get remote play working for my PS4 to my android phone, but am encountering issues getting a Dualshock 4 controller to work properly with my phone.

If I can't get this resolved, another option would be to get a playstation TV and attach it to my bedroom tv, but it's tiny, and also about 20 feet away from the bed. Not a great option for playing games. However, if I could use the PSTV and output to my phone, that would be awesome.

Is there something that either can clone the display/sound output of a TV, or even better, something that would allow my phone to directly act as a receiver of an HDMI signal from the PSTV?

Trying to google for options leaves me empty handed because most people are concerned with outputting their phone's display to their television, and I want to go in the opposite direction.
[General Questions and Answers] Arcangel Loki:
I have the very same question

I'm curious as to why I wouldn't 've able to directly stream what is on my tv to my phone. The PS3 has a controller that works through walls from 20+ ft away, all I want to do is be able to watch through my phone when I'm outside/ in another room.

I find it mind blowing that there isn't a single answer on Google after searching for hours.

Hi,

I am new to this forum hence please help me if there is already a discussion/threads to refer the below issue.

I earlier had LG g2 AT&T (d800) lollipop installed by the provider and I found that apps were getting crashed frequently and I flashed it to cynagenmod 12.1 recently. I see that apps are getting crashed again (the mobile is not rebooting and my uptime shows up for 5 days).

I suspect memory leakages but not sure.

Please help me to fix the issue. I noticed that google services were stopped frequently hence downloaded the latest gapps 5.1 and flashed it.

Every time when I download an app from play store should I need to flash gapps again after clearing the cache ?

Response is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
Doesn't actually patch stagefright: https://blog.exodusintel.com/2015/08/13/stagefright-mission-accomplished/

You should also never ota when rooted, especially considering there's no root for a post OD5 bootloader. It's an unnecessary risk.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
You may still have root but now you also have the updated bootloader which means there's no going back to anything before OE1. If you somehow lose root, there's no getting it back.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
You are semi-correct. It patches most of stagefright, but not the newest problem found with it. Even though it doesn't completely fix it, it makes it a lot harder for someone to use the stagefright exploit. Even completely unpatched, there's not currently any known use of the hack in a malicious way.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
I thought the problem was that they incorrectly fixed stagefright. They checked for integer overflow, but the variables that they used to check are of different data types (64 vs 32 bit value). It just means the person using the exploit would need to make something with a chunk size larger than 32 bit.

Yeah I'm not worried about it being an issue. It's just interesting to read about.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Hey guys, I've created this thread to ask you about your opinion on odex/deodex for future builds!

You may also discuss about this topic below. However, please use the ROM threads for device-related questions and other topics. :)

Please read the summary below before taking the poll. :)

COMPRESSED ODEXED:

+ Faster boot times after updating the ROM

+ Needs noticeably less system space than uncompressed odex

- Requires manually extracting all odex files before deodexing (time-consuming!)

UNCOMPRESSED ODEXED:

+ Faster boot times after updating the ROM

+ Easily deodexable using Lollipop Batch Deodexer

- The most space consuming

DEODEXED:

+ Compatibility with mods like Sony Camera / Xposed framework

+ Saves around 50mb on system partition, compared to compressed odex

- Updating the ROM takes up to 10-15 minutes
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Talking about performance, there is no performance difference between COMPRESSED ODEXED & UNCOMPRESSED ODEXED?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Nope, compression won't make a difference here. :)

Current builds use compression, by the way.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ChrisBaron:
Beside updating and booting after update: is there a difference in performance during normal use between an odexed and deodexed version of your ROM?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Then uncompressed odex would be best option. People who love Xposed will flash a deodexer zip and they are good to go (I have 560mb free in my system partition :D )
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Actually, the difference between odex and deodex is just the fact that the files that are created during "Android is upgrading" screen are already stored on system partition and may simply be copied over by Android. :)

So apart from the much faster first boot (and a somewhat subjective "clean" feeling), there is no difference in performance. :)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMW1971:
Hi all

I`m hoping someone can help me here. I recently had to re boot my Note 2 through Kies to unbrick it and in doing so lost my Dr Ketan V8 (i think) rom. Anyway....i set about flashing it with the V14 Rom of Philz instead as i had trouble finding the original one i used and since having a new SSD installed on my laptop have lost a lot of files etc. I got Odin downloaded again no problem and rooted the phone again with Philz touch CWM and that works fine along with the updated SuperSu installed aswell. So far so good. However...everytime time i flash the V14 Rom my phone goes into boot loop and i eventually have to go through kies again to unbrick it as for someone reason the back up on the SD card also goes into boot loop. I`ve tried everything as far as i`m aware Wipe Data/Factory Reset...then Wipe Cache and then Wipe Dalvik Cache aswell before flashing the Rom which as before was dragged onto my phone whislt connected to my laptop in a Zip file etc......Also tired ticking Trigger with CSC and with etc....

I`m at a loss now and was wondering if the file was corrupted maybe or that i might be missing something. I`m not totally new to flashing but have only done it a couple of times before. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks in advance

Hi!

I just figure out how to reset device status to Official (which is teoretically from factory original).

I'M NOT RESPONDING FOR BRICKED DEVICE. USE THIS METHON ON YOUR OWN RISK.

1. Go to TWRP and connect phone to PC.

2. Open CMD/terminal and: adb shell

3. umount /sdcard

4. mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist /sdcard

5. cp /sdcard/rct.cfg /external_sd/rct.cfg

6. Copy file from MTP/external_sd to any place on PC

7. Edit file with text editor and change required lines:

change Rooted to Not rooted

delete info of files (su, sh, etc.)

delete time of root files detection

8. Save file

9. Copy rct.cfg to external_sd on MTP device

10. cp /external_sd/rct.cfg /sdcard/rct.cfg

11. Now you can unplag phone.

12. Format system, data, cache from TWRP menu (I do that, don't trying without full wipe)

13. Go to Reboot and hit shutdown

14. Confirm to shutdown without installed system

15. Skip installing root

16. Flash factory kdz with LG Flash Tool 2014.

After booting you will se status of RCT saying Official.
