I am running latest stock Touchwiz (5.1.1) on my G800H and have found out that some apps that Samsung only makes available for S5 work just fine with the mini as well. Simply download and install the apks, no root needed:
1. Internet (Samsung browser)
Everything works, even fingerprint scanner features.

2. Game Tuner
Just install GameService 1.0.2 as newer ones require Marshmallow.

Probably other apps work, feel free to share your thoughts.

Hi everyone!
In my office, the IT has restricted the internet access of unauthorized devices by filtering the MAC address. Sometimes I want to by-pass this security and connect my device to office's network via Wi-Fi.
I have tried some applications on Play Store but they don't meet my need (save profile without having to purchase, see other interface not only wlan...). So I have just written this application to solve my problem, and perhap for your problems too!
Please be noted: This application requires rooted device!
Have feedback, report bugs... please send details to me using the Feedback feature on About screen or reply in this thread .
Upcoming release
Change the way to change the MAC (allow user to select the method to use)
Scan the network devices: Show the MAC vendor and the hostname of scanned devices.
Current version: 1.6.0
Beta version: --.
Opt-in url: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/net.xnano.android.changemymac
Known issues
- Some devices powered by Spreadtrum, HiSilicon chip-set, and some high-end Samsung devices do not work. I will try to borrow these devices if possible.
- On some Samsung devices (Galaxy Core Prime 4.4), the Wifi might not be turned on after changing MAC using this application.
Solutions:
Restore your /efs partition then reboot device.
If you forgot to back up /efs partition, please rename the file /efs/wifi/.mac.info (e.g. /efs/wifi/.mac.info1) then reboot device.
Supported devices
Please help me list the device if the application successfully changes the MAC address!

Not working for me in my Nexus 5 ,OPO and OP2. All Android 6.0
Says Mac has been changed and then I am no longer allowed back on the network. The network is a open home network with no filters. I hope this does work as I have not found anyway to change MACS with the latest Android versions.
Good luck!

Hi,
thank you for the app. The UI is clean and simple. I like it and the app looks promising.
Quick question: Does this work w/ tethering? E.g. is the spoofed mac address broadcasted to the devices connected to my android smartphone?
Currently I am getting >Please enable Wifi for this application< while tethering.

Hi,
When you enable Tethering, the Wireless interface switch to using its own MAC address (02:1A:11:xx:xx:xx) and cannot be grabbed by this application.
At that time the WiFi connection is down. You can check this by going to Settings -> Wifi, the indicator shows Wifi is off.
So the mac is not spoofed if you enable Tethering.

Will do. Will conact you via email.
When I opened the app, I didn't see where you can change the internel device used. Mine only shows something like "RDNIS" or something similar to that(I have already uninstalled it but can re-install to help troubleshoot). I couldn't find a way to switch to wlan.

Dear @christianpeso,
I have investigate the same issue occurred on Nexus 6P and fix the problem like you Nexus 6.
The root cause is this application was not able to detect the network wlan0.
The new version 1.1.3 has been released with the following changes:
• Fix issue on Nexus 6P: Home screen is blank.
• Fix crash issue on ICS 4.0 when saving profile.
Hi everybody,
I am now using a Galaxy tab 2 P5110, running under Android 4.1.2, not rooted.
My problem is that my Tab is really slow when I use basic apps (chrome, office apps).
In order to get a bit more power from it (removing the Samsung layout, but I know it's a 2012 tablet...) I am looking for the most stable ROM I could use, and if possible running under a quite recent android version.
I am quite new to this kind of manipulations, so I am also looking for a tutorial to instal the ROM you could advice me.
I know I have to root my tab before doing anything. Does the tutorial available here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056 - by Weltwon) work with 4.1.2 android version?
Thank you all for your answers!
Matthieu
------------------
Edit: I have an other question. Is the root enough to remove the Samsung touchwizz layer? If yes, how to do it?
Lineage OS 13.0
You could get a Lineage OS 13.0 nightly, and from my experience those are fairly stable.

For starters if you want to get rid of TouchWiz you can remove all of the bloatware and Samsung apps (like TouchWiz home, AccuWeather widget, Samsung Apps, Group play).
But I recommend just install custom ROM. Maybe cm11 or cm12.. I am using Dhollmen 4.4.4 on my tab for 1 years and it is working very well for me.
Thank you for your advices,
@tasnim_tamim: I dont know Dohllmen. Is it à cyanogenmod Android version? Which tab do you run under this ROM?
@orionboughton: are nightly versions if lineageOS stable? I have heard that these are update vert often, and some Android functionality can be disabled
Its a ROM based of SlimROM.. I am running it on my galaxy tab 2 7.0 p3100
Lineage OS 13.0
Lineage OS is basically an updated version of Cyanogenmod, so i guess that's what it's based off of.
I've been running a nightly of Lineage OS from their website at https://download.lineageos.org/espressowifi , and it's really smooth compared to touchwiz and the ram is managed much better. The camera works, the gyroscope works, and I've only had one or two problems (like root not being enabled out of the box, and needing to flash a supersu zip to get that running), and besides that it's all good. If you have a problem, rebooting usually fixes it and I've rarely had to do that in the past few weeks I've been running it.
Another plus is it runs android 6.0, which seems to be better in every way. Great standby time, 4h or more screen on time, etc.
However if you do decide to get it, make sure to flash with the latest version of twrp, and if not you might softbrick your device.
Up to which version of Android operating system can the Xperia Z3 be updated, currently with Marshmallow 6.0.1 unrooted, keeping it running at 100% and without having problems of any sort?
And where can I find a good 'guide' to follow in order to be able to make this update?

There is a ROM with Android 8.1
It's quite stable, lacking video recording
Hold on to marshmallow currently until the creation of a stable rom (fully functional)
