[TUTORIAL] How to change wi-fi MAC addres on CyanogenMOD and others rom's based on it

---

I found a simple way to change wi-fi MAC address on Ace. Only watch you needed is Root Explorer. Follow this instruction:

1. If your wi-fi is on turn it off
2. Open Root Explorer and go to the /data folder
3. Find and select via long touch the file .nvmac.info
4. Use the option "Open in Text Editor"
5. Change the MAC address to the what you want (I suggest to insert the letters as big characters).
6. Touch the menu button and select "Save & Exit"
7. Torn on you wi-fi and connect to the preferred network. You Ace should connect to the network witch the new MAC address

Note! This change aren't permanent, when you reboot you phone the MAC address goes back to the original. Only test on CyanogenMOD, but working on other rom's based on CM. Not tested on stock rom's and other custom rom's (if you can test it on stock rom's or stock based rom's and it works tell my I will include this information to the post). Use at own risk.

What is the practical use, may I know? Does it help clear timed downloads?

Well it helps me change to a MAC address that my college Wifi recognises, i can even connect using my phone (i.e. my laptop registered with them)
This+TransProxy made my day

ok i don't know about you but if this tutorial ends up as a means to perform MAC spoofing, the user will end up on the wrong side of the law. Be warned.

Can i use laptop mac address?

satti8893 yes, why do think that you can't?

ok how about this.. any way to retrieve the list of wifi passwords your device has stored?
