Hi guys,
this is my first post in Nexus S section. Wildfire is my previous device.
This is an ADblock file that will block almost all annoying advertisement (except those app made by Chinese from China [it do block, but not all]) in your app and browser as well.
Advantages
Free at all, does not use system service, update is not required.
Attachments
HOST.zip: Updated on June 2011
HOST1.zip: Updated on June 2010 (try this one if the first one doesn't block some of your app ads.)
Instruction:
1. Unzip the file and you will get a file named HOSTS.
2. Copy and paste the HOSTS via root explorer to system/etc.
3. Reboot system, and open an app with advertisement and you will see the advertisement is blocked.
Thanks for viewing.
Please hit a "Thanks" if you like it!
Would this work on sgs miui as well?

Whats the difference from just using Adfree on the market, it also is able to check for updates daily.

This script blocked ads from 21k site. It is like windows, they built in the feature but lack of ad block file.
I checked root tools from market, it doesn't block much of the site. It is paid app..
Adfree use service, this doesnt. If you use task killer, it wont kill.

LOL Melvin, at it again i see, so where did your wildfire go now?
Oh and to answer your question ... i didn't bother to update my flashable hosts file for the new recovery... cause tbh i don't really care about ads anymore xD (also including laziness)
Oh and i don't think the boot.img has anything to do with the camera recording (not that i know of course)

No one here uses adblock we all use "adfree" which is free and does EVERYTHING.
Personally, I have recently decided to keep the ads. They are the sole reason we have some quality games especially free ones. Its not like we are in abundance with android app developers, if simply having a small ad will keep them going, please support them.

Do you plan on releasing the source of this app? I had a project I was working on for a forum, but ran into some issues. Some example coding would definitely be nice.
Very nice but no way to bookmark forums = no good for me
I love it! ill use it when I can't get to a computer. Very good for show off threads because it takes 1 less step to upload pics!

Somebody please get this up and going for the xoom
I was about to side load it....see how that goes.
XOOM
Why bother? It's a POS compared to WordFeud.
I was just going to install this when I noticed the app doesn't install on Xoom. I must say this makes me really disappointed and brings a huge spotlight to splintered status of Android.
That said, I find it hard to blame Google solely. I much rather blame EA. Its not like they couldn't have made the app work on both platforms.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I side-loaded it. It works but not great. It is 1/4 screen and has graphical issues in the unused space. The music sucks too. I haven't gotten to play a game yet but the game does seem to run and the HC3.2 full screen trick will probably handle the screen size issues.

Can you post a link to the APK, I would like to give it a go even though it apparently only partially works. Or send to [email protected] Thanks!

I loaded it on my TB, haven't tried moving it to my Xoom yet...
It is disappointing that this new Free version doesn't support "local" play only... or play against the "computer."
Anyone get the apk out?

That would be warez, unless of course you are asking for the trial version. The trial version does suck a$$ though. See below.

+1 It is pointless for me, i just wanted to grab a quick me vs computer game to try it before i buy it.
There was a free version of scrabble. So that would not be warez. Anyone know where to find the apk in the file system? I can pull it from my TB or tab.

Can Google make it so when my apps are updating, it only does it one at a time? The phone becomes practically unusable when 10 apps are trying to download at the same time. Super annoying.

just don't use your phone for a minute while they update
Maybe there's a possibility, like the netflix mod, to bypass the root check by someone that has the knowledge to do that sort of thing
If I install this, can I receive another Market update in the future? Or I should again install via APK?

I manually updated this, works fine. I do have a problem though, maybe it's me ;o)
How do you manually update an App after installing this latest Market app.
Example:
I've installed the new market place and notice that the Amazon UK app had an update this morning. I have set this app to manual update, but when I open the app through the new market, the only 2 buttons are 'open' and 'uninstall', there's no update button.
Confused? I am... any ideas guys?

This is a pretty good extension for chrome - *Link removed (against google's policy)*
It works with free apps and paid apps (if you have paid for them) Respect the devs and don't use this tool to post warez
Note - this isnt a warez tool, it wont work with paid apps unless you have already bought them

Didnt see that actually, will remove link.
Its just because google say that if you get something from the play store, you have to be directly using the play store.
One more question, i just want a yes or a no.
Is it possible to download paid apps for free from play store (at the latest version) ? (Not black market) Yes or No?
