Note 4 MAC address and Hidden Networks issue ! - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Device : Redmi Note 4X 16GB / 3GB
I noticed something with my MAC address .
In stock MIUI rom it's f4-f5-XX-XX-XX-XX, that's okay, wifi works fine either hidden networks
In other roms the MAC address changed to something else 00-0a-XX-XX-XX-XX, with this MAC wifi and hidden networks works fine. (( NOT ALL ROMS, THERE'S ROMS DOESN'T CHANGE THE MAC BY USING MIUI STOCK MAC, SO THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST))
After flash farncokernel the MAC changes to the MIUI one, but hidden networks doesn't work.
Is that's wired ?

Maybe you should report this to the dev of franco kernel. could possibly be a kernel bug.

What ROM supports 802.1x PEAP (if any) ?

Trying to connect to my corp network and having no luck. I've tried a couple of the advanced wifi editors, tried hacking my wpa_supplicant, but still no joy.
Tried bog standard Touchwiz, Android HD v24,25 and 30, Paranoid Android 3.15, Cyanogen 10.1 ............
Anybody got a suggestion of a ROM that supports 802.1X out of the box?
Note I do have to put in a Windows domain/user which may be another factor that's making it harder.
Oh and my Nexus 7 running PA 3.5 works.....
(or assistance to get my Android Revolution HD v25 working )
Thanks in advanced.
isn't the WiFi protocol more a kernel & hardware related issue then a ROM related one?

Changing Mac address

Is there any way to permanently change the mac address on my phone, evidently there is a bug in cm that causes the mac address not to be properly read and so a temp address, 00:90:4c:c5:12:38, is used. Problem is I just updated my z2 tablet to a lollipop rom and now both my phone and tablet have that same Mac address causing issues when I connect to my WiFi at home with both of them. This issue was also on the nexus 5 but was supposedly fixed so I'm hoping that a fix will come soon but in the meantime I'm trying to find a work around.
I'm currently on illusion 5.5 using the 777 kernel with multi rom, it sounds like it would be an issue on any cm based rom though, as I'm using a different rom on my tablet. Does anyone else have this Mac address, 00:90:4c:c5:12:38, on their phone or is it just me?
Dont do on lollipop it will brake you wifi and everything else only do kitkat lg
So there is no way to change my Mac address on lollipop then?
Not that I know of I mean you can try pryfi if you want but the beta i did and it didn't work but it did in the stock rom. I just don't think it's a good idea.
I tried to change my mac adress on my lg g3 d855, android version 4.4.2 and now my wifi won't work

What did you do? Is your mac address the same as the on mentioned in the op, is it a stock or cm based rom? I found an app that works for me for now, it's only temporary but it works in a pinch when my tablets mac reverts back to the bugged one mentioned in the op.
This is the app i use. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wireless.macchanger&hl=en
Even though im very far behind the time, I figured if anyone needed this theyd see this. To change my mac address i installed xposed on my phone and a module called hijack suite free. From there you can spoof your mac persistently. Ive rebooted many times and i still have my spoofed mac. None of the other methods and apps have worked for my device this is the first. Im using the d850 on cm 12.1 with stock cm kernel

Miui 8 & bt

I have Xiomi Redmi Note 2 and one of it’s major uses is phone calls while I’m driving- speaking via my BlueTooth car kit.
With the new MIUI 8, I have a problem: At the end of the call, I used to disconnect by pressing the “disconnect” button on my car BT device. Now, with the MIUI 8 it simply doesn’t work- the “disconnect” button doesn’t ends the call and I have to tap on the device (very dangerous while driving).
I made factory reset to see if there is some conflict in apps- the problem remain.
I downgraded to MIUI 7.5- the problem remain.
I downgraded to MIUI 7.2.3- and the BT returned to work properly.
I upgraded with the internal “update” app- the problem came back...
So, seems like that somewhere between 7.2 and 7.5 a change was made that made damage to the BT car kit connectivity.
1- What happened?
2- How can I solve it? Should I stay with MIUI 7.2.3
other ideas?
thanks
I didn't have bluetooth issues with 7.5 or 8.0.x - but such problems may be due to the modem drivers. Which modem driver does you 7.2.3.0 come with? Look in for "Baseband version" in "Settings->About phone". My version of 7.2.3.0 comes with modem p37, which is very good for bluetooth. If yours is p37 as well, that may explain why you don't have any problem when using 7.2.3.0.
PS: I eventually reverted from 7.5.x and 8.0.x to 7.2.3.0, because I couldn't see any benefit from the later versions, which are also more resource hungry.
in miui 7.2.3 I have p51 and it's working well
suppose that's the problem with miui 8
how can i changer the modem?

IIRC, miui 8 also comes with p51, so that may not be the problem.
As for how to change the modem, there are links to installers for various versions in the Redmi Note 2 forums (including, I believe, p52). You will have to do a general search (e.g., for p37, p48, p52).

thank's. I need to edit the wificountrycode file with the value 0 with a app type file manager root (ex solid explorer)?
Issue resolved with the latest version of Havoc.

thanks to dev. This is the only Pie ROM that does not have this problem in wifi alone without a SIM card.
Right, because the needed change which I referred to is included in this version.
Changing the "control channel" on the router fixed it for me. I suppose this the workaround. The fix is in that wificountrycode parameter.
