You could try to put this with your mac in init.hammerhead.rc for example, nd try if this works.

That command does not work

I created this script
/usr/bin/fixed_mac

HTML Code:

ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:90:4C:E1:87:FF

and service

HTML Code:

[Unit]
Description=fixed_mac address

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/fixed_mac

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Now mac address is fixed but after reboot wifi still does not connect and asks password, after this it changes ip address.

Do anyone of you have aliendalvik rooted?

I tried and installed su binary and superuser app. It sees su bianry. I set to automatically allow su acces but it does not allow.

I tried different root checkers. some said i have root some said i did not. So i tried actual app "kernel auditor" which needed root access and it did not start.
Now i installed supersu app it asked for update. I mounted /system 'rw' mode, it updated su binary was ~95 KB now ~157 KB.

Then uninstalled superuser app because it does not give prompt and blocks requests. I see it in log.

I copied this su (~157 KB) binary in. Notice these 2 are the same file just renamed.

/usr/bin/aliendalvik-superuser-binary
/bin/su

and shortcuts
/opt/alien/system/bin/su -> /usr/bin/aliendalvik-superuser-binary
/opt/alien/system/xbin/su -> /usr/bin/aliendalvik-superuser-binary
/system/bin/su -> /usr/bin/aliendalvik-superuser-binary
/system/xbin/su -> /usr/bin/aliendalvik-superuser-binary

and kernel auditor starts! Some root checker still says NOT ROOTED, but actual app that needs root does start

For now i have 3 very annoying bugs.

1 On every shutdown/startup phone needs wifi password to connect to my network.
2 After call sometimes touch does not respond. The only way is to restart the phone or if it was connected to my wifi ssh to it and run 'killall lipstick'
3 Video recording sometimes works sometimes does not.

If these 3 bugs are fixed (video recording is not so important for me) i would appreciate it.

1. This is because of the change of the MAC address, you could ask on sailfish-porters, aybe someone there can help you.
2. Do a three finger touch, most of the time UI is working again, you also could use powermenu2 to restart lipstick by doing a long press on the power button.
3. Didn' noticed that, but i barely record videos.

3. As a workaround switch from main to front back to main camera for video recording.

the wifi thing I think I heard somewhere was fixed by updating connman, so maybe wait for the next update

Hi guys,
I just installed SFOS2 on top of CM12.1 on my Nexus 5 and love it. It has everything I need...except whatsapp. I tried to get some obscure inofficial alien dalvik running but had no luck.

When I try to install Fdroid from this post I run into the problem that I cant locate the sfdroid.zip on the phone memory in TWRP.

Or let me rephrase that:

I like SFOS a lot. I need Whatsapp. What is my best option at this point? Real Jolla phone? Is SFdroid running stable enough for a daily driver right now? I read through tons of pages already, but my linux skills are...uh...limited and not everything makes sense to me.

From where did you download aliendalvik? Did you try that package what i have posted?
