Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
I signed up because i wanted to share how i solved the MAC address question. Simply, after flashing a custom rom, the phone gets the developers MAC. How to solve this?
First of all, you'll need an Hex editor. Install it and give it root access.
Before disabling wifi, take note of you new mac address.
There are 4 files in /data/etc called wlan_maccaddr0, wlan_maccaddr1, wlan_maccaddr2, wlan_maccaddr3. Take note of these addresses.
Then open /etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_1com_wlan_nv.bin with your hex editor. (Backup before editing!)
You will probably have something like that.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You will see the new mac address repeated four times. you must substitute each address with the one you read in step 3.
Note that they differ only for the last character. (remember: two numbers is a character)
End up with something like that.
That should do the trick. Reboot and rejoice
Please don't be harsh to me, it's only my way to introduce myself
Happy hacking

Already tried that, it didn't work, at least for me! I'm currently using a Sony Xperia T with cyanogenmod 10.1
Yes you're right that fix only seems to work on stock based ROMs. I'm running omni now and didn't realise it before but facing the same issue. Not a real problem for me personally but thanks for this fix.

Works fine with CM 10.1 on Xperia V. Thanks a lot!
It doesnt work in V (flashed FXP250).
Once saved the file and re-opened it or reboot , all changes lost...

I am not sure why I failed...
but now I use ES File explorer with root, locate that .bin file, open it using HEX editor, save. And succeed....
But I now use CM10.2 rather than FXP250
The folder /data/etc doesn't exists on my Xperia V...
I have the KitKat 4.4.4 OmniRom installed.

Uninstall the original whatsapp, install from blackmart alpha.
This happens every now and then. It's an issue on whatsapp's side, not yours. Try in a few hours, it should be fine.
whatsapp released critical update for connection issues.

Ok, you'll want to use google or xda search to find an apk decryption tool (apktool). You'll need to learn to use this program to decrypt and modify the theme apk. Once you've done that, you'll need to find the string (inside an xml file) within each apk which themes the pop up and modify accordingly. Then repack the apk.
These instructions ignore the possibility that you'll encounter errors with your specific apk. You can pm me if you have any issues.

Does anyone remember when the stock Samsung Keyboard had white (or at least lighter grey) keys?

In a recent-ish update to the Stock Samsung Keyboard, the keys were changed from the lighter shades above to the "Dark" theme that we have now.
I just rooted my device today and I'm really searching, looking for the lighter themed keyboard APK that will work for my phone.
In a search of all the XDA forums I found some APK and ODEX files from an S4 thread. I tried those using RootExplorer, but they did not work for my AT&T Note 3.
I know that there are apps out there (SwiftKey / Swype/ etc) that allow user to change theme settings. I've tried all of those keyboards and keep coming back the the stock Sammy keyboard. Does anyone have APKs for the old keyboard that they wouldn't mind sharing?
Any help, tips, or advice that you could share would be great.
Thank you.
Try this one.. https://db.tt/duv3VVO8 push to system/app and change permissions and reboot!

BigMase,
Thank you very much for the help. I'm going to try it right now.

Well if it's already mentioned as a bug, what are you trying to accomplish?
Obviously I'm looking for fix or work around
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Dude... Seriously? Did you really start ANOTHER thread about this?
If you want to fix it decompile secsettings.apk
Look for the smali that should be something like about_device.smali or something like that.
Open it in notepad++
Find .method oncreate
Scroll down to the first 0x7 hex
Then look in res>values>public.XML
Find the xml reference to the same smali file should be about_device or about_phone.xml or something like that.
Copy the hex code
Replace the code in the smali file with the one you copied from public.xml
Save and recompile
Sign the apk with test keys or old signature
Copy to system/app
Set permissions 0644
Wipe cache/dalvik
Reboot
Profit?
And then never make another thread about this again

root your z1 and install recovery, so you will have the chance for a full backup, and when you restore, everything will be as it was before

1. You need to root your phone first,
2. Once your phone is rooted, then you can have a custom recovery partition on your phone.

sony phones do not have RECOVERY option buit in, you have to install it like a patch. but to be able to do it, you must have extra rights to modify your phone system files and this process is called rooting. rooting method depends on phone model, software version of your phone etc. I advice you to search or google for xperia z1 lollipop 5.02 (or 5.1.1) rooting, then, you can add recovery using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
if you want to have a rooted firmware, you can prepare it by yourself too by following http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904
