Rom integrated ad blocking... - Epic 4G General

Im running chris41g(?)s modded stock, and I was wondering if there was a way that I could integrate the awesome adblocking of the big roms myself... messing with i GUESS putting together my own rom, and this is the one thing of all I am missing the most. I guess I am getting old, just want a simple rom theme-wise, but love the tweaks... anyone wanna help? Trade secret? If its something relatively simple like using 7zip and changing a value, or something to adb push, I can do it... just dont know what method you use, and would love to be able to just do it myself. Gonna hit up chris to throw it in his rom, but id like to do it myself too... any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

You could include adfree app in the system/app location of the ROM. OR, you can use K0nane's method (which I am even unsure how it works.) ha

How would I go about that? sorry... should I just drag and drop this hosts file in /system... ? And how do I get the hosts file? Install the app and pull the file off the SD?
Thanks for the help... trying to learn to do some of this myself... course I get the motivation when I get a job after a year of unemployment... speaking of no job, anyone seen the new COD Zombies thing... ? freakin sweet
is the app itself good enough? I read an old thread complaining about it, but that was from early froyo... no angry birds ads???

Ive been all about the gears of war 3 beta atm,I just wish I could play like I want to,its down to about 4 hours on the weekend,and about 3 total during the work week. I even had to buy a used 360,my original one got the red ring,but it was an original 360 day one launch unit,so it sucked; Wish I could afford an elite,ohwell.

Im surprised a launch 360 made it that long.. that was one tough xbox. Yeah i have an OG 60 gig (now 320 7200rpm) PS3, from right after the blu drives got fixed... people say I should expect the ylod soon, but Im insane about my gear, most of it is in a server rack. I really need to get back into fallout vegas though, if they made a fallout mmorpg that played like the real game, I would never leave the house.
Anyways, thanks for the time on the adblocking... will try soon...

I put a zip to include adblocking in the op of my rom... its better than adfee because it doesn't block words with friends lol

sorry to be so dumb but can someone please give step by step instructions of how to block ads in games? I am using Ad Free and it does not work on any game I have installed.

did you open ad free so it can request super user permissions and download the latest host file? Usually have to reboot once afterwards. Works fine for me.

yes... and that still does not work. i found this CWM flashable file called EC05 AdBlock which does work. I cant remember from whom i got this file on XDA due to being drunk. if someone could please let me know to whom i should give proper credit it would be much appreciated.

though it is kinda annoying seeing the .. error loading page errors...
itd be pretty cool if someone would compile a real trimmed down apache or other webserver that only serves up a blank image when being accessed, have it only listen on localhost, and point everything back to localhost (i guess thats done already), to get blank spots, instead of 'error loading'

Well that seems a little silly after reading this post.
Dear Augen Customers (GEN Nation),
Thank you for showing your support and interest in our GENTOUCH78 Tablet. We became aware of the technical difficulties over the past 24 hours, and we will be posting an update for a patch to the software at the following link: http://augen.helpserve.com/ under latest download files within the next 48 hours.

Hopefully someone gets one with some dev skills or just is able to make a custom recovery. Once that happens it's on. I'm wondering if adw launcher can be installed on this thing
I also got one, there's a patch coming tomorrow for the market problem. I can't install apps with APK's in gmail either without a katcher.
It's a sweet device so far. it's resistive touch, I don't think you can turn up sensitivity but we'll see.
ES File Manager comes Pre Loaded.. you can add any app APK to the SD card. and use ES File Manager to install
Installing Quadrant, and some games right now.. I'll post back
I picked this up and I am going to be creating a dev thread on this. I am not an expert on this by any means but I did get it rooted, got Titanium Backup on it (had to install Download Crutch from my SD card than downloaded TB from an APK I found online), and got ADW on it. Runs OK, I don't like the resistive screen and I agree with others that this is a really rigged build on this device. Market issue for me too, can't wait for the update.
EDIT: Dev thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7409528#post7409528
How did you root? I'd love any info you can give. where's your thread
Edit: Quadrant got just below the Moto droid according to there results. it was around 300 or so if i remember right. it was just below the Droid. It got good and smooth FPS during the 3D tests. It has the Mali-200 GPU inside with a texture unit rate of 8 units.
Linpack it scored a 3.962 or something but then i closed it. It's charging right now.. Does anyone know why it says I have Edge service and Roaming? as well as Telelco Loco for the service where my phone says T-Mobile. hjaha

Universal 1 Click Eris Root App Apk - No PCs, No Scripts Needed, EASY

## I will clean up the code, and UI this weekend: and for those with any doubts: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/1-click-eris-root-app-no-pc-required/
## To those tempted to redistribute my apps, or apps based on my work without permission. This will only result in me using a new obnoxious DRM system. Please stop it.
Preface, This is not a free app, its a try before you buy app. If this app works for you, and you are happy with it. You are required to donate a meal to a homeless youth, or any amount of money to a youth outreach type program.
This is a TeamAndIRC production. The source code is available on request, if good reason exists.
I got bored and whipped this up tonight with ECLIPS3. This will root your Droid Eris running 2.1 with 1 click.
If something doesn't work, don't freak just contact me. Tested working on latest RUU.
This does NOT erase anything off your phone.You can keep you data/apps with this root!
Step 1) download and install this apk
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8699733/erisone010.apk - VERSION 0.1.0
Step 2) Run, read disclaimer, press button
Step 3) Reboot, once rebooted your phone should have Amon's recovery. Yay.
Step 4) Use the recovery to flash rootme.zip that is now on your SDCard, or the custom rom of your choice.
Step 5) Go into settings, and turn usb debugging on. After you have root, please uninstall this app.
Just that easy.
Please come chat with use at http://chat.andirc.net or irc.andirc.net #droideris if you have a separate IRC client.
Credit to:
Eclips3 for spending hours and hours and hours testing my crap. Without him this app wouldn't exist.
TopazAaron for the icon
wag3slav3 for the root method
Amon_RA for the recovery image
erisuser1 for the post that gave me the idea.
and to the authors of flash_image and superuser.apk.
This is 100% legit! Very easy to do. One click. If you cant click one button. You dont deserve root lol!
If you do have troubles:
chat.andirc.net
Awesome work man thanks.

good stuff!!!
Front page vote is in Nice work! As usual...
Very cool awesome work team!
Im already rooted but this should help quite a few who arnt/wouldn't be able to get adb setup or follow through etc.
Seriously, jcase & ECLIPS3, you guys are animals !
Thats awesome! if my eris ever craps out on me and i get a new one i will definitely use this.
Jcase and others; you are amazing
I'm confused about one thing. If it is a try before you buy app, and it is a one-click root app, then why would anyone pay for it? The majority of users only need to root once for the most part, so what's to say that people will download it, use it one time to root, and because they only need it for that one time operation, not donate at all? I can see a try before you buy for an application that can recieve daily use. Bravo nonetheless! You guys think of everything for the Eris!
Guess I will be trying this soon as VZW is sending me another refurb
thanks agin for all the work you and others put into the Eris community

Not truly universal as 1.5 isn't supported, but your description does point that out. This is a minor quibble and more of a note for anyone else attempting this on 1.5.

Why would you run an app like this? All you're doing is taking away money from developers who make apps that you use. They worked hard on the code, why should you get it for free?
Its all about data man, not getting anything for free. Some apps dont have the option to pay for a key to do so. Plus who actually clicks on the adds anyways, thats the only way to benefit from having them there. Im all about supporting the work of great devs, but i dont like my phone to connect to the web when its totaly unnessescary. Plus its not just for apps, works in the web browser too helping pages with garbage load faster

I mostly use it for web browsing so it doesn't load ads. I don't use many ad-supported apps. Angry Birds is one of the only ones, and it doesn't have a paid version. If I like an app I will buy or donate.
Anyway, I'm new to the Evo (not to Android), and read that the Evo can't have files written to /system unless in bootloader. Is this true??
Root explorer can mount system as read/write if thats what your referring to

Because I don't want ads on my phone. Everywhere I go, everywhere I look there are ads. I pay for cable TV yet I have to watch commercials. There are ads ALL over the internet. My inbox is littered with spam from advertisers selling garbage products that I have no interest in. The last place I want to see ads is on my cell phone. It's not about taking money away from the devs. I have spent over $300 on games and apps from the market, I have no problem at all tossing the devs money for their hard earned work if they give us that option. If they don't, that's not my problem. Besides, it's not like I've ever clicked on a single ad so keeping them on my phone isn't going to give them any more money than if I block them.

Here is the hosts file AdFree uses. I haven't updated database in a couple months, but it works great for me. I would rather not run an app to block sites therefore I just use the hosts file. Simply extract hosts.zip as it IS NOT FLASHABLE, remove old hosts file in /system/etc and push new hosts file to same place. No app needed!

This is wrong. They get paid for views. if your phone never retrieves the ad, they don't get paid for the view.
Not making a statement for or against ads, but at least be accurate.

Just bought an Atrix.

This is my first Android phone. I've previously owned the iPhone and a BlackBerry. I've sense ditched both for this Atrix. It's about a week old now.
I was heavy into jailbreaking my iPhone and modding it to how I wanted it to be, but this Android stuff is confusing the hell out of me. I just don't get it. I need the most remedial breakdown anyone can give me. I've been searching the web for days in and out trying to find something.
People have some really great information, though! That's how I came across this site. I hope to find more answers, although my mind almost exploded when I read through this thread.
Anyway, how do you like your Atrix? Any tips on making this device my own? I still feel like I should be back with an iPhone for whatever reason. LOL. It feels I'm too late to step into the Android world. I should have jumped on with the G1.
Oh, and any remedial breakdowns of rooting is welcomed! LOL!
Check out the ginger break thread for a nice break down. (really easy)
Enable swype (long press text entry)
Inquire about freezing some of the bloat with titanium backup
Start exploring the market
Download some emulators and play classic video games from the ol childhood

Flash! Go to browser settings and change plug ins to (on demand) for quicker browsing and flash at your disposal!
Wait until you get uncapped upload speeds.. Oh man are you gonna love this phone!

I'm still not getting this stuff. Too many acronyms, too many... other things. I don't think it's meant for me to root this phone. LOL. I need a YouTube video or something. I have no idea what these instructions mean when they're telling to extract certain things in certain places, open certain things, install apk sbf and abc. Exaggerating, of course.
It's been over 7 hours and I haven't gotten any clarity.
Moved from iphone 3gs to my first android (Atrix) also.
I gotta tell you modding jailbroken iphones is very easy and very limited compared to Android phones. Even a stock outta-the-box android phone.
It's probably something like "want even more customizations = more work" for you with an Android.
Gold luck.
Its ok, its a lot to learn all at once. Just keep reading and asking questions and you'll get a grasp real soon. android is really educational and it took me a nexus one to figure it out.
Search for ginger break thats the easiest way so far I think. (sd card mandatory btw)

Man, I've noticed that! I thought I knew a hell of a lot when it came to this stuff, but this Android rooting has made me realize that I'm somewhat of a novice. It's never taken me this long to grasp some computer stuff.
I also think it's because I bought my Atrix at full retail price and I don't have insurance. (I have a dealer line with AT&T. They made me provide my own phone.) I don't want to waste that much money if I brick my phone.

I'm going to keep reading and reading because I was referred to gingerbreak before I registered here. That's actually how I got on this site. It seems solid, I just have to figure it out. Reading up on terminology has made it clear to me what an ADB is. I just don't know how to use it.
Question: When I open this ADB file in the SuperOneClick zip, it opens a command prompt, displays some words and junk, an then disappears.
What am I supposed to do with this?

(I'm currently browsing this thead. I just don't have enough posts to post there.)

That is why I like using the adb from android sdk. Never liked doing it from oneclick even when I had a captivate. If you have android sdk, you can open a command prompt and cd to adb's folder and use the commands there. You can also make a bat file to make it easier.
If you don't know how to make a bat file, use notepad and type this
@echo off
cmd /k "cd c:\program files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
and save it as .bat
Note if you have 64 bit windows, it will be program files (x86)

I'm still not getting this stuff. Too many acronyms, too many... other things. I don't think it's meant for me to root this phone. LOL. I need a YouTube video or something. I have no idea what these instructions mean when they're telling to extract certain things in certain places, open certain things, install apk sbf and abc. Exaggerating, of course.
It's been over 7 hours and I haven't gotten any clarity.

Yeah, the learning curve is a little steep. Especially if you have never worked with linux before. This helped me a lot with my first android phone. This is for the n1, but most of the info applies to all android phones.

Not correct.
Unless you already have sideloading enabled, you will need to connect the phone to a computer.
BTW, return it while you can.
I got my Atrix and the first night I spent like 3 hours installing gingerblur and a ton of apps. It was GREAT. First android phone. I can't wait for 2.3.

Got Motoprint to Work!

I have a rooted wifi xoom U.S. and I could not get motoprint to work from the xoom family dump or the zone rom. I found a droid3 (edit not droidx sorry) dump (don't remember where sorry) and pulled the motoprint apk and it installed by regular install, I did not have to copy to system directory. The program now shows in my apps and is available as a print choice.
I am not by a printer and have not actually printed. If someone actually tries to use please post back.
All credit goes to the person who did the dump, I am just posting the apk.
I am not responsible if something happens to your device.
edit let me know if this link does not work I have never shared a dropbox file before.

Installed and used
I just installed this on my non-rooted Xoom, printed out my resume, and it works perfectly!
Thanks for grabbing this.
You are welcome. I have been trying and trying to get it to work. Was very excited to see this one install.

My printer isn't supported, so I will have to use the motoprint host file on my pc.
The one in the market if the dev is Motorola Mobility, its the legitimate one. Won't work on all printers so you might have to use the host file.
does anyone still have this that they can pls send me or re-upload. thanks. i am running ics4bionic and it isnt there. thanks
Cloud print works for me.
The link no longer works... Would someone be kind enough to upload it again?
Yeah Please Can Anyone Provide Me with The Link And it would be nice if you get the official file manager to work to, i have the apks but i am unable to install them any suggestions?
If anybody has this apk, please be so kind as to repost or email me. I feel a clean FREE printing solution would be of great value to EOS and the community as a whole.

Ok it looks like it works with printers with PostScript, or in windows workgroup or domain, or running motoprint PC software. I have to check my printer settings but it looks like real solid software.
