[Q] Openvpn issues on LG G2x other than cyanogen

I am having problems with openvpn and I would really appreciate any help that I can get. I was not able to make openvpn work on Eagle Blood rom. Here are the steps I used. I installed binary file at the system/xbin using the openvpn installer from the market. I then created a folder at the root of sdcard and named it openvpn. I placed in the folder the configuration files. I then downloaded and installed openvpn settings from the market and tried to connect to openvpn. It would connect to the server (a small key would appear on the top of the screen and says connected) but data would not be tunneled through the vpn. My real IP address would still show while connected to vpn.
BTW, I flashed cyanogenmod 7 nighties #53 and it worked. I use simple mobile and data does not work with cyanogen since the APN needs to manually configured and with all the APN issues going on with cyanogen at this time, I would prefer to use another rom that would support openvpn.
Thanks in advance and I apologize in advance if I posted this at a wrong place. I am new to XDA forums.

[Q] unlock and install apk

Hi,
I have rooted captivate running default ATT os eclair android.
I am unable to get it to connect to wifi hotspot (adhoc, open) in my laptop. HTC G1 connects fine to it. I just do not understand why captivate cannot connect.
So to install apk I tried sdcard route but says blocked. In Application menu I do not see any option to allow unknown sources like I see in HTC G1 which is running cyanogenmod.
since wifi does not work I cannot install using market. since unknown sources is not an option available in phone menu I cannot install either.
any alternatives ?
1) should install another rom like cyanogenmod ?
Regards,
Miten.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will allow you to enable sideloading:

It worked for me and was easy to follow.

Hi,
sideloading itself needs installing apk. I have issue in first place that of phone not letting install from sdcard due to it not being from Android Market and wifi does not connect me to my local home hotspot.
do I need to have some sim in phone to get wifi to work ? I have been trying without having sim in phone since I know my sim is not ATT and the phone is locked currently to ATT and that unlocking is what I am trying to get done.

You need Superoneclick. It will root your phone, and it will also change the settings to allow for 3rd party apps.

[Q] Network shares with Cifs on S3 mini GT-I8190 will not work

Hi @ all,
sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but as a new user I can not post a reply in a current discussion, where my problem belongs to.
Device: S3 mini (GT-I8190) with Version XXAMG4 and Kernel 3.0.31.1332988.
Device was flashed with openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0
Device is rooted with Super-SU1.3
BusyBox is installed
I try to connect to a windows share over two diffrent apps:
CifsManager v1.5
MountManager
target host is in same WLAN and - yes WLAN is on and operates fine ..
share works on my other windows and on my ubuntu without problems.
I have tried several mount methods and diffrent cifs.ko files to get a connection, but it don't work.
I always get message: No such device
Where can i get the right cifs.ko file for my phone? I've searched lot of sites, but for my kernel there
is nothing. Or do you have any other hint for me, why it would not connect?
Thanks a lot to all!
Chris

[Q] LG GPad V500 - USB Thethering on CM11

Hi guys, this is my first post on this forum, so I'm sorry if I'll do something wrong.
I bought a LG GPad V500 (standard version, not google experience edition) and i noticed that tha stock ROM was not so nice... I successfully installed clockworkmod and CyanogenMod 11. The ROM works fine, it's fast and i didn't find any bug. Just i can't understand how to setup USB thethering (aka reverse thethering).
When i start the server on my Windows 8 PC an app is installed on my tab (USB tunneling app). I accepted the super-user request and then I also installed the fake-wifi hack (included in reverse thethering package).
The problem is that, when I press Connect on my PC, the LOG shows no errors but I can't access Internet from the tab. USB Tnneling app shows "UDP connections: 0" and "TCP connections: 0" and the software on my PC says there isn't any download and upload speed. I reinstalled the apps many times and I replaced adb.exe (I founded this solution on Reverse Thethering official post on XDA, but it didn't work for me).
I googled the problem and I read many times that the kernel should be not able to run a USB thethering. I don't know if it could be true, i used the USB Thethering on CM 11 on my old TF300 (died 3 days ago :crying.
Do you know how to fix this problem? It's quite important for me because I can't use any wifi network at home and at work. Sorry for terrible English and thanks
P.S: is it possible, if needed, to change CM11 Kernel (flashing it using CWM)?

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.
