how to use android like linux, without appl, to change mac address? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

new question: how to use android like linux, without appl
Hi,
first time here, first question.
I can work with debian but I am newbie for smartphones, my first one is Chinese uhappy up920, android 4.4.2, it is rooted with kingo, I have installed busybox and ROM Toolbox Lite, and Terminal IDE.
first I tried to install some applications for changing MAC address but non of them worked, then I tried with terminal and no success.
I am interested to change mac address without applications, simply from terminal, as i would do in linux. but in linux macchanger should be installed. sudo macchager -m AA:BB:CB:EE:FF eth0/wlan0
I tried also apt-get like in linux but it is not recognized as command, so, I don't know how to install something from terminal in android. is it possible? there are repositories in linux, I don't know for android.
I tried:
busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/general/update-18-05-13-spoof-wifi-mac-address-t1385577
but I got a notification: busybox : can't execute : permission denied
but kingo gave root permission to terminal IDE. I typed SU
I tried and wlan0 instead of eth0 but the same result.

I tried also with kingoroot, when I tried busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
I get:
ifconfig siocsifhwaddr operation not permitted

Symlinking ifconfig and route

I have an Xperia J, stock rom, 4.1.2 latest FW. It's rooted and I have busybox installed in /system/xbin
I'm trying to install openvpn, but I'm having trouble connecting to my server.
For now, after some search, I need help symlinking two applets: ifconfig and route. They both are symlinked to toolbox. I need then to be linked to ifconfig and route that are in xbin (I believe this is what has do be done... I've tried this in terminal, but gives me a "file already exists" error.
ln -s /system/bin/ifconfig /system/xbin/ifconfig
Can you tell me what I have to do in order to when openvpn calls ifconfig, it goes to the busybox ifconfig?
Thanks

[Q] run ifconfig without prefix busybox?

I'd like to run ifconfig and a bunch of other commands in terminal emulator.
for this I have to enter "busybox ifconfig".
Is there a way to run ifconfig without the prefix busybox?
Is there an easy way to create this as hardlink?

Problem with Terminal Emulator for Mac Spoof

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to do a Mac Spoof from my Motorola Moto E (Rooted of course!) but I have a problem cause i'm quite sure i'm not succeeding in spoofing!
Well, I installed BusyBox and Terminal Emulator.
Than i go to Terminal Emulator and wrote:
"su" (so I have permission from SUPERSU)
[email protected]_umts : / # busybox ifconfig wlan0 down
[email protected]_umts : / #busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether [New Mac]
[email protected]_umts : / #busybox ifconfig wlan0 up
[email protected]_umts : / #
Than the terminal doesn't say anything else.
After that, the wifi from the device doesn't work anymore ( I have to disable and renable the wifi to make it work again) and of course the mac didn't change...... anyone has an idea, need some help, I am new of Android!!!
