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!
(I do not have much time to update these information, so it may be out of date)

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.

Hello everyone,
After Santa brought me a new locked and not rooted phone, and it turned out it's not recommended to unlock it (Sony of course), I began to mourn for the "quick controls" of the AOSP Browser.
This weekend I had some time, and was able to make enough changes to the original code, so the Browser can be installed normally and to work pretty decent.
Requirements:
Lollipop
(probably) Chrome to be the default browser
Tested on:
Sony Z5 - Lollipop 5.1.1
Nexus 4 - Lollipop 5.1.1
Not working:
Bookmarks sync
Full screen
Incognito mode (fixed in v 0.2)
If I have free time and there is interest to it, I may try to fix those
Version 0.2 changes:
Incognito mode added to quick controls
Fix some random crashes during search
I downloaded it on Zenfone 2 ZE551ML (X86) and it's not installing..I moved to /system/priv-app with permissions r-r-r but nothing..what can I do? (maybe Lollipop 5.0?)
Great thanks i was looking for aosp browser without need for root. It works on xperia Z1 5.1.1.
Are you going to work on it?
Hey. Nice browser. Works on my LG K4 2017 running Android 6.0.1 without root. Are you still developing the browser?
Y5 2017
I have been looking for AOSP Browser for my device for almost 3 years ?? Finally I have found the right one that doesn't crash on launch. Thanks.

Hi forum XDA.
Nice to meet you.
Please. I want to install this app "SIM Number Setter"*, but I don't know what steps to take, how to do it. And what would be the best choice. Example, if is possible a Custom Rom or temporary live system as it happens to based Linux PC systems on PC.
* https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-xposed-sim-number-setter.4400131/ (author says that this one works to Android 8.0 Rooted or above).
I have available the mobile phone Huawei Y7 (2017) TRT-LX3 Android 7.0, and an oldie Samsung Galaxy S Duos Android 4.0.4.
After Rooting mobile I need Updating its Android system to 8.0 or above version.
Then I have to install Xposed o Lsposed module, and to install "SIM Number Setter" afterwards.
Regards.
