You may not have full root, download busybox from play store, open it, press install, then try adaway again

[Q] Touchwiz Launcher

Is there a way to install the Touchwiz launcher on Peach Sunrise or other roms? I tried pulling the file from /system/app out of the stock zip but when I flash it to /system/app on Peach nothing happens. It just shows up as uninstalled in Titanium. Any suggestions? I wanted to play around with it for fun.

I think it requires some framework also, not positive about that though
Edit: Maybe try installing as a normal app
Maybe also try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767559 if you want tw4

I tried as a normal app but it fails. Seems I will just stick with ADW EX!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Its possible, BUT it is trial and error. There are several touchwiz launcher apk's floating around, and I don't use gingerbread now that jelly bean is fully working. So just keep trying the apk's you find. Please keep in mind it MUST be installed as a system app with proper permissions or the launcher wont even be recognized as there.

[SOLVED]SU binaries

I'm on xperiatized ics and rooted. However if I go into root explorer, I can't change from ro to rw. Anything which requires root will say superuser has denied it or it hasn't obtain root access yet. Can anyone help?

Hi jumper62!
You could try updating super user app or installing new binary from superuser/ info.
Also, you could try Superuser Update Fixer (free aplication from the market)
Just in case, perhaps you could try installing yor ROM again.
Good luck.

Flash any superuser package meant for arm like universal gb root
And then optional steps are below
Install supersu from market then open it
It will ask to update su binary just do it and you would be good to go

Must be a region thing. Cos I downloaded YouTube from the play store. And everything works fine. Did you flash the 03012013 gapps for 4.2.2?

Ad Away not blocking ads on HTC One

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?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
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

Here is the link
If it does not work the first time you may need to do a factory reset first.
All gapps versions need to be installed through cwm recovery tho.
