So,today we are going to change the mac address of our mediatek/mtk devices and there are two ways of changing the mac address of an mediatek device :

1. Using engineering mode [Easy]

2. Manual way [Advanced]


# Changing the mac address of an mediatek/mtk device using the Engineering mode :

Mediatek provides with an advanced mode for diagnosing various problems related to hardware and software.Basically we will exploit the engineering mode to get access to mac address of the mediatek device and then modify it.

1. .Download MTK Engineering Mode app from here :

length(byte) : 6


7.Click Read. The 12 Digits shown in value(h) field is your current mac address

8. Save down your original Mac address.

9.Erase the value(h) field and now put your custom  12 digit mac address.

#Just follow these rules while customising the mac address

3.Turnoff your wifi.With the File Browser, browse to /data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB/




4.Copy the file called WIFI to sdcard twice(one for backup purpose and other to edit)


5.Also note the permissions on the WIFI file (for me it was rw-rw----)



6.Rename this file to WIFI.bak 

7.Open the copied WIFI file on sdcard with Hex Editor.




8.Notice your Wifi mac Address in the first two lines as mine is : 18 dc 56 f0 2a c2.Change these values according to wifi address rules as mentioned above.

9. After changing save it and replace it in /data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB - from where you copied earlier.

10. Now switch off wifi and switch on.

#Now, your wifi mac address is changed now.

(To confirm, you can check in your wifi router)

REMEMBER:

Whenever you will reboot your device, mac address will change to default as before automatically.

If you  have'nt rooted your phone you can watchout this post:
 Universal Methods for rooting phones
For various benefits of rooting you can watchout this post of  mine :
Benefits of rooting

Now lets get to the must have apps for a rooted phones.Basically there are lots of apps available which help you in increasing your battery life,customise your phone,flashing roms,changing cpu frequencies,modifying system files and i must say a lot of apps are present.But I'll present you with the apps which are most useful and you will not regret installing these apps. :)


best-apps-for-rooted-phones

#1 ES Filemanager
   I must say that the first app to install after rooting your phone is ES filemanager as this one such app which will do work of 7-8 apps ,from a filemanager to a video,audio player,root browser,app installer,sd card analyst.This app also work in non-rooted mode.





#2 Xposed Framework
Xposed is a framework for modules that can change the behavior of the system and apps without touching any APKs. That's great because it means that modules can work for different versions and even ROMs without any changes (as long as the original code was not changed too much). It's also easy to undo. As all changes are done in the memory, you just need to deactivate the module and reboot to get your original system back. There are many other advantages, but here is just one more: Multiple modules can do changes to the same part of the system or app. With modified APKs, you to decide for one. No way to combine them, unless the author builds multiple APKs with different combinations.This app work as a framework for other apps to modify system files.

#3 Flashify

Flashing manually can be a lot of work. What if there was an app that did all the heavy lifting? With Flashify, you can sit back and let the app automatically flash for you. This is an app for those who like to have a lot of customization and don't want to spend endless hours getting get. 
With Flashify, you can flash your boot.img, recovery.img and zip files with ease. If you want to backup these to your local or cloud storage, the app automatically syncs them. You get automatic cloud synchronization between backups of devices and your desktop. The app allows you to restore kernel and recovery using an SDcard as well. 
The app is free to use but you should be aware that you can only perform three free flashes per day. If you have a lot of flashes to do, you might want to consider purchasing a few more. If you want to spread them out so you don't have to pay, you can add them to your queue and they can be flashed the next day. 

#4 Link2SD – Increase internal memory of your mobile

This is one of best rooted app for android mobile which you can use to increase internal memory of your android mobile which is rooted and SU permissions enabled. This app is a bit complex as to increase internal memory of your android mobile you have to create partition in your memory card, but this app is worth try and a must have root app for rooted android mobile phones.

 #5 Greenify

This app is one of the best apps for rooted phones as it increases the battery life of your device and is of the best apps for installing.



#6 Titanium Backup

Titaniun Backup is one of best root app which can be used to do multiple things.Its also one of must have android app, if you experiments with your phone most of the time, than you cant afford to miss this app, as this app will simply create backup of your APK as well of its data also.

Some of great features of Titaniun Backup: 

Can backup and restore app data along with apk. 

Can change android ID easily.

Can remove system app which can be installed from Application manager

#7 System App Remover

Best app to  remove the unwanted bloatware present in your system to free up space for other apps.This app further help in boosting your droid perfomance

#8 Quick Boot (Reboot)
Quick Boot is an app that is both absurdly simple and absurdly useful. In most versions of Android, the power menu is weak sauce and you can only power down and sometimes you can reboot. Quick Reboot fixes this by allowing you to boot to recovery, and boot to bootloader. If you go pro, you’ll also get Tasker support as well as a hot boot option which just reboots the Android UI. It’s quick, simple, and makes finding an advanced power menu for your device a little bit less of a priority.

#9  ROM Toolbox

This is one of the very few all-in-one solutions for root users that still actually works. It has a bunch of features that includes a built-in file browser with root, app manager (uninstall system apps, etc), ROM management (create nandroid backups), script writer, font installer, and a lot more. On some devices, you can even change the boot animations, themes, and status bar icons. It doesn’t work for every phone, but it should work for most. Do beware, though, because it’s been half a year since the app was updated and we’re not entirely sure if the project was abandoned or not.


#10 Viper4AndroidFX
If you're serious about the audio output of your rooted Android phone then Viper4Adnroid FX is the root app you want. It has too many features to list here, but you can go nuts with EQ mode settings, get near-lossless sound quality, optimize your speaker output, get Hi-Fi sound on your headphones and manage system audio settings to work on any third-party or system app.Best app for music lovers to enhance their music effects.

#11 DiskDigger-Best app to recover data on the go
We're huge fans of recovering lost SMS, photos, files and data, and once you're rooted there are even more solutions to the problem. If you've accidentally deleted photos, files or something else off your phone, DiskDigger can instantly recover it without losing a second (which is important in these situations).

#12 BetterBatteryStats
Who doesn't love a good battery stat? OK, maybe not most people, but I'll assume that if you're the type of Android owner who wants to root your phone, you might have an above-average interest in critical system things like battery consumption.
Better Battery Stats offers just that: a much more detailed and informative breakdown of what's using your battery. A lot of this comes stock in Android Marshmallow but if you don't have that update yet, this is the next best thing.

#13 Tasker - Automation tool

It's big, it's complex and a little daunting, but if you can commit yourself to it fully, you'll be repaid in full. Tasker is a full system automation app that can automate anything you do regularly with your Android phone, from setting up scheduled activities to automating tasks in apps. 

#14 Device Control
If you're rooted you now have the ability to over-clock or under-volt your Android. These terms basically mean pumping more power into your CPU or limiting the amount of juice your battery uses. Device Control gives you these options and plenty more, including sound and display management, a build.prop editor and Tasker integration.  

#15 Servicely
Servicely is a newer application that helps control background services. This will allow you to do something like prevent Facebook from running in the background while your device screen is off. It’s a stop-gap for stopping rogue apps and unwarranted wake ups of your device and should help improve battery depending on how you use your device and which services you decide to stop. It’s a solid service and worth a shot if you have a service you just can’t stop.

So,these were the top apps for a rooted phone which a user must have  to utilise their deviice properly.. :)

Towelroot

Created by XDA Recognized Developer geohotTowelroot is another root exploit app that is compatible with a large range of devices. The root exploit itself is built around Linux kernel CVE-2014-3153 discovered by hacker Pinkie Pie, and it involves an issue in the Futex subsystem that in turn allows for privilege escalation. Although specifically designed for certain variants of the Galaxy S5, it is compatible with the majority of devices running unpatched kernels.

CF-Auto-Root

  

Created by XDA Senior Recognized Developer Chainfire, CF-Auto-Root is a root for “rooting beginners” and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares as well as Nexus devices, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root. In essence, it does nothing but install and enable SuperSU on your system, so apps can gain root access.
 What's the difference between CF-Auto-Root and CF-Root, and/or other root solutions ?
CF-Root (non-Auto) are manually built rooted kernels and/or flashables that usually provide more than "just root". CF-Auto-Root is built on an automated system that I am constantly improving that takes a stock recovery image and returns an automated rooting packages. These packages are designed to install and enable SuperSU on your device, so apps can gain root access, and nothing more.

The difference with many other rooting solutions is that those will often install a custom recovery for you (I am personally moving away from custom kernels and recoveries, for various reasons), while with CF-Auto-Root you will end up with a stock recovery again.

Not included - custom recovery
A custom recovery like CWM or TWRP is not included.

Not included - Triangle Away
Triangle Away can be used to reset the flash counter after installing CF-Root. The flash counter keeps track of how many custom firmwares you have flashed, as this voids warranty. (No idea what this about ? Read up on it, you will want to use this !)

Not included - adbd Insecure
As this CF-Root does not include a custom kernel, adb shell does not have root access by default (you can still get it by typing su inside the shell), nor is adb remount supported, nor will adb push and adb pull work on system files. adbd Insecure can be used to remedy this situation. (No idea what this is about ? Don't worry about it !)

KingRoot

KingRoot is root for people who just want to have root access to their devices, and not necessarily wanting to flash anything extra. It works on almost all devices from Android version 2.x to 5.0. Working of KingRoot is based on system exploit. The most suitable root strategy will be deployed from cloud to your device according to the ROM information on the device. The best part of using this root method is that it does not trip KNOX and have the ability to close Sony_RIC perfectly.

 KingRoot is an amazing tool for "lazy people" who just want to get root access but don't want to flash any third party Recovery into their lovely device. It is one of the most famous root tool in China and now we release English version here for everyone, totally free and without AD. Something interesting will happen when you root your device by KingRoot, the most suitable Root strategy will be deployed from cloud, that is why we have higher success rate that some other tools. Specifically, root success rate will higher than 60% on supported device. This is our first English version, that's why there are still some Chinese in app, we are apologize for that if it cause you confused. Support list, FAQ and more details can be found below download section and please also read them carefully. Thank you very much! (What's more, we are really appreciate @idler1984 [KEEN team].
