How to change MAC-address ? - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I would like to change my MAC-address on my Nexus 5 with Cyanogen Mod 13. I found some videos on youtube, which shows a way with a root explorer, but I haven't the same files or it looked different. The way to change MAC with terminal cause no error message, but my MAC doesn't changed. Is there any different on nexus devices ?

Windows Mobile 6 (Vario III) accessing UNC paths via File Explorer

Hi,
I have my Vario III connected to the home wireless setup. The Vario III can access the Internet without a problem. It can also access internal web services without problems. However, what it cant seem to do is open a UNC path via File Explorer, i.e. \\server1\share. I get path cannot be found. I've tried it with the IP address as well. i.e. \\192.168.x.y\share. Still doesn't work.
I am not even challenged for user credentials. I am an IT pro of 8 years and can swear on oath that my networking setup is sound (these are shares that I use every day from a variety of devices in and around the house).
Can someone tell me what WM6's File Explorer's "Open Path" function is actually good for? I remember being able to successfully browse network shares on a Dell Axim (PPC2005) device not to long ago.
If someone has a moment could you please see if yours works. Have come across a few people with the same problem (after Googling the problem). However, no solution found to date.
Thanks

How to edit wpa_supplicant.conf ?

To use wifi at school I have to wpa corporate + TTLS etc, and g-tablet does not support that. In one of the earlier post one person suggested that I use "wifi advanced configuration editor", but the secured signal does not show up so there is nothing for me to edit. I tried to manually add the wifi connection via "setting" but I can't.
I know what wpa_supplicant.conf looks like on my Pandigital Novel; if I could edit this file on my g-tablet then I should be okay, right? Any suggestions on how to do this editing? (sheepishly looking at my back) I still can't get ADB working with my g-tab, and in any case I assume there would be issue with permission...
Thanks!
if you can get root you can use root explorer to turn R/W access on to the conf file in /data/misc/wifi and edit the conf in text editor. You may be asking for more but that is where I was editing mine to get ad-hoc mode on. Sorry I dont know the exact settings to tell you to make the actual edits.

Add it using the normal Android tool, assuming it's hidden? Anyway, then modify it with the WiFi Advanced Config Editor. It's always possible the firmware here isn't working well with that app, but if it's a hidden AP you might need to manually add, then edit.

By "normal android tool" I assume you mean "setting" -- that's what I used on the pandigital novel anything. But as I said in the OP, g-tablet does not allow me to manually add an entry, so I can't use the wifi config editor :-( I also tried the app "full wifi" but I (rather, g-tablet) does not seem to be able to save the connection so created.
I'll look into root explorer as mentioned in post #2 and see how it goes... If you have better/different ideas please do share it with us!

How i changed my Bluetooth Mac address

Hey XDA
So i searched for an answer on the net and found some guides here on xda but none of them worked for me.
The reason i wanted to change my bluetooth mac address was because when i used my playstation 3 controller for my tablet/mobile/dongle it had to be paired with that mac address so that got annoying..
I wont make a complete guide but ill throw a bone on how i got it working
REMEMBER TO BACKUP WHATEVER YOU DELETE OR CHANGE just in case..
Oh and once i did this my devices with the same mac address could NOT function together so don't do this if you use bluetooth between your devices.
I did this on my mobile:
samsung galaxy s2 (4.0.4 Ressurrection remix ics v2.6.1)
And my tablet
Asus transformer tf300t (4.1.1 asus hydro 4.1)
I mention this because the files i had to edit wasn't the same files (i guess its because of ics vs jb)
My galaxy s2 (4.0.4):
1 force stopped and deleted data for the app "sharing with bluetooth" (translation from danish so i dont know if the name is correct)
2 froze "sharing with bluetooth" using titanium
3 change the mac adress in the files /efs/bluetooth/bt_addr and /efs/imei/bt.txt
4 In the folder /data/misc/bluetoothd/ theres a folder with same name as your bluetooth mac address move/rename/del that folder and change the mac address in the file named address (in /data/misc/bluetoothd
5 reboot and turn on bluetooth, after the reboot it took some time for my bluetooth to function again but this did it for me
My tf300t (4.1.1)
1 force stopped and deleted data for the app "sharing with bluetooth" (translation from danish so i dont know if the name is correct)
2 froze "sharing with bluetooth" using titanium
3 change the address in the file device_addr in /data/
4 change the address in the file mac.txt in /data/misc/bluetooth/ and delete all text in the file incoming_connection.conf
5 move/delete/rename the folder in /data/misc/bluetoothd/ which has the same name as your mac address
6 reboot and turn on bluetooth, after the reboot it took some time for my bluetooth to function again but this did it for me
Hope i helped someone
Thanks to all of you who does anything for the community YOU ROCK!

[Q] Genymotion build.prop Customization

Hi,
I'm currently using Genymotion to use a couple apps on my Desktop just for ease of use. One of the apps however apparently blocks access from Genymotion and requires you editing the build.prop file. I have never used an Android device so I'm not exactly sure what to do. I know how to find the file and edit it but I have no idea what to change (probably the text that says "Genymotion") and what to.
Is there anyway I can change it so it doesn't appear as though I'm accessing the app via. Genymotion?
Thanks.

Programmatically add wifi networks on OP7 with Android Q

Hi!
I have a list of about 100 WiFi SSIDs and passwords that I've extracted from my old phone and I want to add them to the new phone that runs Android 10 and I couldn't find any useful information on the internet as everything seems outdated and not working.
The closest thing I've found is this: https://github.com/steinwurf/adb-join-wifi but I had to write a script, it adds only one network at the time and it doesn't work very well because often the networks aren't added and I also have problems escaping the SSID and passwords.
I've also tried to look for wpa_supplicant.conf but apparently it's not used anymore on Android 9 and 10, instead I've found a file called WifiConfigStore.xml but I'm not sure if and how it can be edited manually. Then I read I should use wpa_cli to add the networks but I get a service error when I run it. I also looked for Android apps but nothing like I need.
How can I add programmatically my networks? Is there an adb command, a file I could edit on the phone or an app that can help me with this?
Thanks in advance

Well, there's one way: Titanium Backup
It can restore your wifi SSIDs and passwords from an xml file named
com.keramidas.virtual.WIFI_AP_LIST-20191012-065050.tar.gz
(file is inside the archive). This file contains SSID and password in plaintext.

Inside the archive there's WifiConfigStore.xml which I've already found it. The format doesn't look trivial to me so this idea is not really usable. But thanks!
