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
Current version: 1.6.0

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:

Please help me list the device if the application successfully changes the MAC address!
