[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.

Nova 2 android market app

So is the nova 2 game on the android market working? Some ppl have sed it does but most say it doesnt. Is it possible that it may be cuz of the gingerbread roms?

It was working on my stock rom but I haven't installed it since I went to cm7 because fps don't work very well on a touch screen imo.

I brought it. It's not bad but there are some freezes/lag on multiple attack. Game looks good for a phone game.

!!!!BUY IT!!!! Then go online and google search Nova HD 1.0.3 download a un-hacked one, you already own a license, install it and then let it download its own files. Works great on Sense 3.0 roms.
I highlighted buy it, so no one thinks im promoting hacked software.

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?

Alright I think I have figured out that you cannot review content that was downloaded using the other market I think? Yeah it is pretty confusing if anyone could clarify this a bit more?

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?

How did you bypass the checker?

Do VZW or Moto or both block apps on the market?

For example, I can't locate SPB Shell 3D on the market. If I go to this app from dev site by direct link I don't see Install button. I have purchased this app some time back even. Does somebody knows it is true? If yes then it is ridiculous. How dare they are to prevent me from using what I have paid for.

I know a lot of apps wont show if they have not updated to 2.3.4. Most are ok to use if you have 2.3.3

EA Games' Tetris works. However, the Need for Speed Shift app that I purchased doesn't work on my phone. I noticed that there is another Need for Speed app in the market that costs 10 USD.

I know apps can be filtered by OS version. The company I work for has an app that is only compatible on phones 2.1 or newer. Market will not even display the app on sub 2.1 devices or on 3.0 since its a Tablet OS. I have read, in the cases of tethering apps, that cell carriers can filter apps and Verizon has done so. I do not know whether Motorola does. I imagine they can, but why they would, I am not sure. I know there are Device specific apps (Droidlight) that are from Motorola that are visible and downloadable on other devices, they just do not work.

I have stopped to understand things. The SPB Shell 3D release history says
Version 1.2.1 (Aug 04, 2011):
Stability improvements
Fix Gallery for Motorola Atrix (2.3.4)
Other fixes
So it is targeted for 2.3.4. On my son's Atrix 2.3.4 I can see this app in the market. But not on my Droid 3. Mystery.

They can filter by OS version and device, so it may be supported on the Atrix but not the D3.

Exactly. That's why you won't find Wireless Tether on the Market haahah

In order to use Lastpass on your phone you must have a premium plan. It's only $12 a year and well worth it. That's what I use, but there are other options.

AR app recommendation?
I want/need an augmented reality app like wikitude where a user can add his own geotags simply.I would like to be able to geotag my favorite cafe's and maybe have the option to make those public.
I have tried wikitude and layar but the problem is I need to be some kind of developer for them in order to do so.
