Anyone know why Adfree is not working on CM7 RC1?
my work as always (i still have the RC1)
update adfree, there was an update a while ago.
Naughty.
You can enable permission controls in CM settings to allow you to block network usage for specific apps if you need to.
Have you checked your date? Sometimes AdFree doesn´t work correct if date or time is wrong.
Date and time are fine. Also, I think it's not necessarily an adfree problem but something else. I removed adfree and manually added a hosts file but ads are still shown (see here). I don't know what's wrong.

I was scouring the forums and found the build.prop for the xoom. I haven't tried it yet but I'm planning on replacing the ID with the nook honeycomb v4 with the xoom id and seeing what I find on the market. For those that are interested here is the relevant sectino of build.prop
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/trygon/stingray:3.0/HRI39/101999:user/release-keys
Wonder if we can get those sweet honeycomb apps.....
GK
Funny you should ask, I just tried it - didn't work.
What's more - the "Top Paid" Apps have disappeared???
I also just tried spoofing as a Nexus S. That didn't work either. Again Top Paid have disappeared.
I think I did everything right - cleared Market cache, force closed, and reboot after saving build.prop
I use WeatherBug as a test case, because it installed fine from the Market on my Autonooted Stock ROM. Can't even see it in HC 0.4
In addition to my previous - when I attempt to install software (that I cannot see on the NC) from the web Market,I get an error message "Unknown PDLogic Zoom2". So even though I think it is properly spoofed in build.prop, apparently it is still seen as something else.
Market fingerprint
I've tried loading both fingerprints on the nook devs site but neither of them are working.
I didn't get any error messages in adb so i assumed it went through.
Also, "My apps" in Market shows "No downloads from Android Market" even though I've downloaded and purchased a few apps.
Is there any other tutorial on how to change the build.prop correctly?
Its the sdk version thats the issue... dont change it in the build prop either, it non-boots

Hi,
I am currently using Cognition 4.4.8 by Design Gears. I understand he has implemented some sort of ad blocking which blocks ads in many apps and it seems some websites.
Now I love this in some apps, but there are others (XDA app) which I would like to support. Is it possible to modify these blocked settings to allow some apps or even disable it completely?
Thanks
Sid
Download AdFree Android from the Market then use the "revert hosts" option and it'll restore the hosts file to stock, which means no more ad blocking. You can then use the same app to update hosts file, which will start blocking ads again.
Thank you
That worked
i've been searching around for answers. there are a lot of questions similar to mine, yet no one conclusive and simple answer.
i want to achieve two things :
1. for those with auto updates, i want them to just install directly without me having to click update at all.
2. for those that require manual update, why can't they install automatically even though i've already checked "enable auto updates"? I want these to be automatically available too.
some might say i would want to review the changes before updating it. for my case, i don't really case - i prefer to stick to the latest version, even if there's bugs/new quirks etc.
thanks!
Tick "allow automatic updating" for all the installed apps in palystore
And then go to playstore settings>auto update apps
hi,
somehow it doesn't work for certain apps even if i check auto-update. for instance, ASTRO file manager always gets updated manually instead of auto.
any idea what's happening?
Apps require a manual upgrade if their permissions change so requiring hitting accept is security related. (At least this is my understanding, feel free to correct me)
i guess thats correct.. i have seen that the apps mainly comes up as manual updates are when more permissions are added..

there is another app-specific option for disabling auto update. It means, even when auto updates are enabled, they will ask for permission! This helps not updating big games! To check that, go to the app on play store, hit the menu (hardware touch), check if Auto update is ticked! :good:

Yes that's correct. The manuel update is needed for new permissions and for the apps you have install through a explorer
I tried them all; adfree, adaway, adblock + and nothing seems to block ads.
Had the issue with 4.2.2 and now with 4.3. There are ads in the browser and all the apps.
I have root and downloaded hosts file, tried the web server option and nothing works.

Wifi or 3g?
On 3g is network dependent, if your operator is using a proxy then adaway will not work.
Just check with wifi and you are right there are no ads.
I guess theres nothing that can be done with lte
1. tip:
install elixir2 and deactivate for every app activities e.g. with following names:
.ad.
.google.analytics.
.advert.
...
2. tip:
install xposed framework, then download the modules "youtube adaway" (blocks ad on youtube) and "xod" (blocks a lot of google ad in many apps)
3. tip:
use dolphin browser and activate the option called something like "show flash-content only when clicked on", like this no flash-based ad will be shown/loaded during surfing
With these quite simple tips most ad I would ever see on my phone is vanished and won't drain battery etc.
Btw. see my thread about battery life, if you want more info on these tips (because i included the mentioned 3 with more details in my thread)
Thanks dolphin works great and I see no ads.
Also installed the xposed modules since the YT ads bugged me the most, to lazy for the elixir2 though, it's good enough like this.
You have some good advice in your thread, I already do most of it, what I need anyway.
This is an awesome add blocker...

If anyone is having the same issue, try to leave the apn proxy blank.
I'm on bell and it works, I get a connection and there are no ads.
Everytime I try to add a lock for my phone (screen lock), it crashes the Settings app.
I did have App Ops blocking a lot of apps from accessing some permissions, but I have removed them from App Ops so they should have full permission, as well as AFWall, but I couldn't really change any settings in there because it required a fingerprint... so I uninstalled it, reinstalled and then applied the firewall (which blocked none of the apps).
I'm not sure what else I can do. There's nothing else being blocked, so it should work.
What I had before was 20180701 build of Resurrection Remix, but it had bad battery life so flashed 20180630 build without wiping data. The first time around, I was able to get as far as adding a pattern when adding a fingerprint, but it crashed and won't get past the first screen anymore.
This belongs more in that ROM's thread.
