If you got a old adaway it's not working you have to search the Web for a newer version that's what i had to do

Try adblock plus. I've found this app to be the best overall adblocker for android. Only problem is that it's no longer in the play store, so you'll have to sideload it from the developer's site (see the hyperlink), but doing so is trivially easy.

And you may have to change your kernel or changes may be erased when you reboot. Adaway is also great and also blocked in play store but is available else where.

Did Amazon push a covert Patch to restore Lockscreen Adds?

Hey, I was along first group to remove adds by renaming a system file (can't remember name), but today when I turned on my fire HD the adds were back. Anyone else experiencing this?

I don't think so. I did the same thing and I'm on newest firmware 7.2.1 I believe and still no ads.

this one "system_do_not_touch.apk"?
I actually had another OTA update out of nowhere. The version is still technically 7.2.1, but it went from 7.2.1_user_2030320 to 7.2.1_user_2040020.

Yeah I've had the same thing happen. Really annoying. Did you lose root too?
I havent gotten any updates. Did you move/rename the OTA cert in the system settings?

I have not move/rename. I actually want the updates to see how they affect the system, as long as they don't fix the root exploit. The reason I was annoyed is because I didn't notice it was an update until about the third time I flashed a backup and looked closer. Now I can make a backup of that version. By the way check out the android development section, Hashcode has figured out a way to bypass the locked bootloader

Yep. Had to root again, and move several apps back to system. Just hope there won't be any more surprises...

I received the same update - first I was confused, why my root was gone while it still having the 7.2.1 on, because I couldn't remember what was written after user_*** I wondered what happend - but thanks to that post now I understand.
Next to the lost of root, Amazon (which don't like us playing) turned back the permissions on the dtcp_apk.apk what brought the adds on the lockscreen back. They probably just pushed a new version of this file.
Yes, I just downloaded root checker and confirm my root is gone as well. The good news is that Google play is still working. My problem is how they pushed that updated without requiring user approval. This looks like a violation of our privacy rights. I'm going to research this further.

Google Wallet for the HTC ONE.
-Easy fix for viper Rom
-Should work on stock rooted w/ wp . -removed Kernal
-Always save your original build.prop before modifying
Using Rom Toolbox
1. Open up build.prop editor
2. Change the following values
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
3. Save changes
4. Reboot device, install wallet and open
-wallet takes a couple minutes to initialize so be patient, it works great!
5. Restore your original build.prop
This method should work fine on stock rooted also as long as you have a kernal with /system wp removed.
Also, if you don't want Rom toolbox you can navigate to /system/build.prop and open the file in any text editor to make the changes.

Honestly I'm not sure where I got it. I believe that it came from Viperrom. Duce says that it wasn't added in d3rpONE (I noticed mine working while I was on d3rpONE, but I think something restored it from viperrom), and the only other ROM that I've run is Viper's.

ah i see. think you could send me the apk? seems like you probably restored your apps+system data from d3rp rom to viper, as im running viperrom too and not seeing any wallet app.
Here's the link for the working (non-modified) Wallet apk that I use, with screenshot showing it on my One.
https://www.4shared.com/download/NJgEOM_0/Wallet_16-R96-v16.apk
Just install the apk normally through a file explorer, no need to push with ADB, or do anything in recovery. I uninstalled mine and tested just to be sure.

Ok - so just to confirm (I'm a bit of a newbie) Google Wallet works on the HTC One, but you still have to root the device, yeah? Will using the DevUnlock tool from HTC work, or...?

I tried that, but when it starts up, it says that "Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network."
I'm on AT&T.
(I guess I'm in the wrong group? I had it running on my AT&T Nexus S just fine, but I really wanted to upgrade
Think rooting would help overcome the problem of being on AT&T? Not sure why it worked on my Nexus S, since it was on AT&T too... I may have bought it as an unlocked phone, originally...
Not sure if there's any difference in support between carriers. Sorry

Facebook home not available?

ive bought the unlocked european htc one (cid is htc__102) wich is still stock. now i am facing some weird problems.
i wanted to download facebook home via play. wasnt able to find it. looked it up over my pc -> not compatible with my one.
so i installed the facebook apk from xda (facebook home for all phones) and removed the facebook updates before i did (facebook was preinstalled and i couldnt remove it completely).
after that i tried to install facebook home but it always fails..
anyway for me to get facebook home?

i think you need to be on some sort of custom rom
or maybe find a modded playstore
Nope all you have to do is edit your build.prop to htc first. I tried it, it's terrible.

Stock Android Browser?

Anybody know how to get the old stock Android browser on here? Chrome really blows. I can't seem to find any method that's universal, and those steps that are out there seem to require root. Help!

Well I guess all you would need is the apk and side load it. I use dolphin chrome was great at first but little things bother me like the double tap zoom in sucks. And the last update made it run like ****. I like my bookmarks being synced but then again it really isn't that big of a deal.
Can someone get the apk up? Not having extended controls is horrible. Is there another browser that has edge swiping to control browser?

I still can't seem to get the stock browser to install. Tried placing the file in system/app and data/app... Installed once and I saw the browser at one point then every subsequent launch of the app was met with a "unfortunately..." Crash message. Ugh. I've been dying to get a competent browser on this phone. Guess I'll need to keep waiting.

Make sure you set the permissions correctly. Once installed, clear data/cache on it before you run it.

What do you mean "set the permissions correctly"? I'm not modifying the permissions with anything, and it sets its own permissions upon installation.
I installed again and cleared data, brought up the signing into google screen then it crashes. Can't seem to get it to stay opened.
Works beautifully!

Could I get a little instruction here?
I've downloaded the above Browser.apk. I've tried installing it from the downloads folder. Fails. Tried pasting it into /data/app, can't install. Pasting into /system/app, can't install. Tried root app installer. It installs and initially loads with the "signing into gmail" popup. Then crashes and crashes every subsequent launch immediately.
I'm dying to get this browser on the phone. Pleeeeeaaaase, can I have some installation instructions?

Yep, confirmed via root checker. And I did wait for a minute after boot for it to register root as jcase said that it doesn't Register su for a few seconds or something, in case you were going to ask about that.

Hi, I installed ES Explorer to see my /data folder but it doesn't show anything. I also tried with root browser. Maybe I need to be rooted but I remember that I was able to see those files the first week with the phone.
