Database Develop

[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.

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?

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

Its using flash so its actually really laggy at times and if u got alot of things running but otherwise its nice I like the new layout

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.

System/app is locked even when rooted

Unlocked and rooted my wife's first today. Tried to greenify Google Maps and couldn't because it's a system app. So I tried to make it a user app in titanium backup and... Couldn't. Nor could I delete it. So it looks like the system folder is locked even for root users. Apparently it's a kernel level lock. Any ideas for how to greenify Google Maps?

I agree. I tried to change some things on the "system" level and was not able to. I reached out to nuclear_eclipse and he confirmed that we needed the kernel source before we could go any further.

Gettin' back to Android after a 6 month hiatus, and it would be GREAT to see you develop for this phone. It's a pretty solid, even if not flagship, piece of hardware. It's really a shame it's being canned so quickly; it's a fantastic mid-range phone. Not on par with your One, of course, but I love it.

Anyone ever find a solution for this?
I'd really like to replace the clock with the one from 4.2.

If you S-Off your device you'll be able to. I have the 4.2 clock, camera, and gallery on mine. Or if your bootloader is unlocked and you're rooted you can flash the .zips of the 4.2 camera and clock through cwm and disable the 4.1 clock and camera under settings>apps. Thats the way I did it before S-Off.
If you decide against S-Off and would like the .zips, let me know and I'd be happy to give you links to them.

I wonder why we got this error and others didn't, especially after I hard reset the device. Must be something to do with rooting? I also had the 'custom' sign on bootup which i removed using wanam. Could it be connected?
Also, when I hard reset and tried to SQLite it was the TASK MANAGER that blocked the editing of a system file. came up with a shield logo, but it wasn't Lookout. When I clicked on the message, which said it was safe to delete SQLITE, there was no option to 'ignore' or bypass it.

I'm pretty sure that was knox. Did it say "prevention information"? I disabled it according to designgears' second post in his rooting thread, but still get the code 14 error, just no shield this time --
"I am getting a "Prevention Information" popup after running a root app, how do I disable it?
From terminal emulator or adb shell as root, run; pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
Or freeze the Knox apps with Titanium Backup."

I have all the knox stuff and lookout deleted and still get the error message 14. I also tried the app from the play store and still get error. I really want to figure this out cause turning data on and off in settings is a pita. I'd even settle for the data toggle in the power off menu.
