Turn off any ad-blocking app if you are using one..
You can go into your root explorer and edit the 'hosts' file located at '/system/etc' folder and remove the adf . Ly entries in that file..also as suggested you can remove the adblocker app that you might have installed..but i would go with editing the hosts file cuz other annoying ads from apps r removed with that! hope this does it!!

I don't have any ad blocker app
And there is no adf . Ly in the system/etc

Its the "hosts" file that will be there in "/system/etc" which can comtain the 'adf . Ly' entries

First note that I am on official 4.0.4 USA rom (USA model) that is stock but rooted.
Downloads from any browser won't work (chrome/stock/firefox) but I can download off say Tapatalk or within apps. So long as the link isn't to a mirror (file sharing website) it seems that is has something to do with the "downloads" app. As if it won't accept downloading through that app. Anybody else have similar problema/found a solution.
Also if somebody doesn't mind posting the downloads app (for stock 4.0.4 p7310) and see if I can delete then install to see if that works.

I once had that prob on a froyo rom on other device. Maybe the file u r dwding isnt supported by the device. I think dolphin browser can handle this bug. It has an external dwd manager.

The files are there. It's just the Download app doesn't know that they are. Use a file explorer to look in /sdcard/Download

Thank you both for replying. After flashing a rom and still not being able to download stuff I done some cleaning up I my sdcard partion. I Found a "file" called downloads.txt. After deleting the file downloads can now happen. I believe the problem is caused but how Android manages downloads. As the was no directory for downloads it was trying to download items into /sdcard/downloads. As that directory was a file (not even sure how that one happened) and not a folder it would attempt then fail.
You should change. txt to the original file extension e.g. zip

Obviously most are aware Google Play have blocked any ad blocking apps but i had an apk. of AdAway from my Galaxy S3 so i installed it on my One but it does not appear to block all ads like it used to even when i manually update it and reboot there's always ads in certain apps, am i using an older version of this apk. or does anyone else have an alternative apk'. of any ad blocking app i could use, or is it something to do with the phone itself?
Cheers
unless you're running a modified kernel with the protection of /system partitions disabled, your host file gets replaced by default every time you reboot.
I've adblock 2.3 and it works fine, i don't have ads in apps
Which version do you have?
And see if you aren't running a custom kernel with /system partition protection disabled.
Have Trickdroid on my phone so I choose stock kernel as it's the most stable i believe, not ready to flash custom kernel yet as development is still in the early stages, running same version as above stated and not sure it blocks any ads, any other way around this without flashing a custom kernel?

There's a mod that removes the protection from the stock kernel. It's in the development section.

But only on full boot, no problem if you have fast boot enabled... Works fine for me without kernel mod in that basis
Only problem was I needed to install Ad away with titanium backup as it did not show up in the market for some reason

As i mentioned in the OP Google play no longer allow apps like ad away and similar ad blocking apps, ridiculous but what can you do.
I actually don't have fastboot enabled, I'll do that now and try again and report back.

Ok enabling fastboot hasn't made any difference, rebooted and ads are still showing in apps.
@ gunnyman what's the name of this thing I need to look out for in development section, I'll give this a go.

Adaway working fine here on ARHD8.0. Get f-droid apk, install, search for adaway, install, profit.

Is your phone rooted??

Had better luck with adblock plus than adaway, might want to try that instead.
This was one of the first things I installed (all of yesterday, when I got it).
First thing to note is that you don't have to reboot the phone, despite what the app says. Just activate it and go back to Home screen. In fact, a reboot, as noted above, will undo the effects of Ad-away.
I did notice that it seemed to disable itself at one point today, unless my phone rebooted at some point in my pocket without my knowledge, which would be disconcerting.

I'm not being smart mate but I've already said I'm running Trickdroid which is a custom ROM so figure it out for yourself :-\

Do you have an up to date apk. for that mate?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I just checked the "help" information in my AdAway app, it sets out instructions for a workaround for HTC S-on devices i.e. how to move the hosts file to data and put a symlink in system...
Think this answers the question in the OP
Per post 12 you can currently get AdAway here either directly or by installing F-Droid market (alternative to Play store)

Aye you can grab it here:
https://adblockplus.org/downloads/adblockplusandroid-1.1.2.apk
If you're on stock ROM and don't want to use any kernel patch to make your /system partition writable, you can flash this little zip through recovery (e.g. CWM) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327934. Does exactly the same as the app (blocking hosts through system's hosts file) but applied via recovery
What is the main difference?

In short the odexed firmware is faster and supposedly more secure (usually a stock build). A deodexed one gives more modification, themeable, and found in most custom roms.
In terms of user experience deodexed ROMs are only slower on first boot, after which they are or seem the same speed as the former odexed version/source.

It means that any apps in /system have an accompanying .odex file which includes integrity information about its corresponding package. This prevents these packages from being modified, which theoretically means that a factory reset/uninstallation of updates should always yield a known working app. Since themes and many customizations work by modifying the apks in /system, they'll fail the check against the corresponding .odex file and cause problems.
Hi!
What is libra.ko and librasdioif.ko?
If I flash different version of kernel, which doesn't have those files, will those kernel modules still working with the new kernel?
The above files you said are generated while compiling the zImage. These modules may be related to wireless connections.(As found in wireless folder)
They are specific for each device.

And why librasdioif.ko is located in the extras folder?
The librasdioif.ko is tied to the SDIO's chipset
support for both the SDCard mechanism and wireless. So you can say that it responsible for SD card I/O and also plays part in the wireless.

Thanks. Those modules present on all ROMs I installed. I'm wondering if those modules will still be working on different kernel version.
