[MOD] ADBlock (advertisement)

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.

no offense but after your first "concept" of 720p video, im starting to disbelieve any thing u try to do

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.

Scrabble

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.

And they all got boring really quick

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.

Seriously though, you will get the new market soon, it downloads and installs in the background without you seeing it, and then one day soon you will open market and be greeted with a brand new EULA and a brand new market too!
Or you can google it and download the APK.

Or just go here:

Download the apk to your phone and install it. Bam, new market

ummm.. this is COMPLETELY wrong. you get updates silently from Google.
you can force it to update manually by force closing market and deleting the data
or... download the apk

My problem is, it's updated, but it doesn't show all my downloaded apps. What gives? I went through each account and none of them are there. It seems only 7 apps show and it looks like only the paid ones. I've downloaded well over 60-70 apps. None of them show.
I'm on Android 2.3.6 Nexus S (Tmobile) and am running stock--no ROMs whatsoever.

Market updated!!!

Finally the market is updated here in Canada. One word. AMAZING

Why would market be difficult to use? You just browse categories or search for app you wanna download

Well, that's true! It looks really nice, and it is simple to use. There is just one problem that I found. Sometimes when there is an update for an app (don't know if it is random or some particular apps) there is no Update button, only Open button that will run that application. You can update that app only when you have two or more updates and update them all at the same time. Anyone experienced this?

Agree on the updates and the fact it is sometimes slow. Wonder how much data it is downloading when you open it.

I think the new market is hideous!
looks like WP7 with all those tiles.

Unable to update Facebook app?

I may have run into a weird bug. I cannot access Facebook in the playstore, and when I look at the version that came preinstalled on the First, it's version 3.0, whereas on my HTC, it's running 3.2.
Anyone else running into this?
It isn't a huge concern, as I'm giving this phone to my grandmother who doesn't even use facebook, but, I just find this endlessly odd.

That shouldn't happen. Have you tried visiting the "my apps" section of the play store and try the Facebook app that (should) show up there?

It doesn't show up anywhere. Not in the my apps section, and not when I search for it in the play store. Even on the desktop, the web version of the play store says its incompatible. It's a bit weird.

I'm getting the same thing. I just took a screenshot.

Hmm, Maybe this SKU of the first has mistakenly been blackballed from receiving facebook updates in the play store? If anyone has any other colors, I'd like to know if they are experiencing the same problem.

Same issue. Blue version.

same issue here white color ... even though it has nothing to do with color lol its something stupid with framework and the way facebook integrated everything

I have a black HTC First and was able to update Facebook to 3.2.1. However, this update was supposed to add the much need Favorites Bar (Dock) to the Home launcher. It is not working for me.
Anyone else seeing this?
