Oh, Wow that post has made its way around quite a bit. It's definitely an awesome fix and I'm glad that we atleast have a solution, although I believe it should be available natively inside the client.

I use Chrome UA Switcher from Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appo2.ua

Once I did this it occurred to me that I'll see ads now. Any blocking suggestions?

? It doesn't change the host file, so if you have ad block installed then it won't be affected by this modification.

Sorry. I explained that poorly. I meant that now that I'll see full websites I'll get their ad glory too.
Was curious about which ad blockers people enjoy.

AdAway off the market is my favorite. It's very well done.

+1 AdAway.

Awesome. Does it block ads in apps like scrabble too or just chrome?
These may be basic questions and I apologize. I recently dropped my iPhone for a galaxy nexus.

Globally. However, some still show the black box where the ad would be. Others don't show anything if the ad can't load.

Rats. Scrabble still shows ads. Oh well.

Does SuperNote work?

I'm waiting on buying a Nexus 7 but I'm unsure. Does anyone know if SuperNote works well on the Nexus 7?
The bottom toolbar is cut off and I got a rogue force close after about 10 minutes , but it's mostly functional.
You are talking about the Asus app right?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I ripped v1.51 from my TF101 and it works fine. It doesnt seem to show the bottom 5 buttons on the nexus like but you can get around that by enabling the 'gesture backspace' option, or by clicking the keyboard button. :good: I'd imagine Asus might perhaps include a customised version of this in a future update.
Yea, I'm referring to the ASUS app. I got to play with it at BestBuy yesterday and it was pretty good. I was hoping to get a Galaxy Note 10.1 for school but it appears to be vaporware as of now. The N7+SuperNote would be a nice touch though.
It works perfectly if you change your DPI to 160.

If you like SuperNote but the lack of bottom buttons is a problem (and you're not willing root and try a fix), check out FreeNote. It's the closest alternative and a great app, but personally I still prefer SuperNote.
Thanks for posting those links. The link to supernote is version 1.4 and I have 1.5.

I'm sure most of you know but changing your DPI will cause you to have apps not show in the market
Here's the link to Supernote 1.5:

[Q] Note 10.1 port for Nexus 10?

Has anyone heard any news at all about a possible Note 10.1 port for N10? I'm waiting for some of that MULTI-WINDOW love on this beast of a machine. I've Google searched to no avail and have been scouring the various developer forums over countless websites in search of this white whale. Some has got to be working on this. If I knew how, I would be.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
The multi windows is so buggy... just by watching some of the reviews it doesn't work half the time, or not in the way that the user wants it to work - switching between the apps is good enough for me.
I only asked asked about it because I am a college student and would love to have my chemical equations pdf open in one window while I'm inputing stats into the calculator side by side.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Plus, I know it won't be as simple as porting the multi-window function. The entire touchwiz sytle rom would have to be ported.

You can give this a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ragingtools.tinyappslite
It's not exactly what you want, but close to it. Also a multiwindow browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appestry.split_browser_trial
I saw that... So i guess maybe one day...

There was a thread somewhere about this, from a guy who was starting to work on it and wanted a hand. I don't have the link for it but I think the development was called Cornerstone, could try googling that?

There are several apps on play store. I tried one of them "multiscreen multitasking THD" (you have to buy it to try it) but soon returned it. Very impressive idea but it could not connect to the Internet with its own browser, so I asked for a refund.

It worked fine as far as the multi window aspect. Quite cool! I just could not connect with its browser. It’s only $2 so you can try and see if you can get it to connect. I wrote to the author but have not heard back yet.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Paranoid Android is currently working on their implementation of multi window, but it uses an overlay concept to do it. IMO this is much cleaner than stacked windows. They also have a notification ticker that works like Facebook chat heads, which is how you launch the overlay apps. It's still in alpha status but it's shipping up to be really good.

Get rid of ads on android?

Are you in the same situation as me where ads are blocked on WiFi but not on mobile data? If so then I haven't found a solution as of yet and I've tried numerous adblocking apps/zips. It may have something to do with PA but it's not the kernel since I get the same issue on Franco as well.
adfree android works great! but youll have to search google for it, as ad removing/blocking apps arent allowed in the play store anymore.

I've gotten used to it now so it doesn't really affect me too much but if you really want it try backing up your ROM and flashing a different one to confirm it's a PA issue and not something else.

He said it stopped working. He could be using the really outdated version that was on the Play Store. AdAway has received a couple updates since its removal from Google Play.
For me, AdAway is working just fine so.. its most likely due to using a outdated version
I had the latest adaway 2.3. It works on WiFi but not on mobile data. I'm just looking for something that will work on data.

Yeah, I didn't get this issue on stock or on any ROM for my old HD2 but I do on PA which is quite odd. Still, I'm not too concerned since it seems to block some of the more intrusive popup ads and I don't seem to get many ads on YouTube.
I realize that I'm probably stating the obvious, but by blocking apps you are depriving developers of revenue.
Most Android devs are small shops. Without revenue, they'll simply concentrate on other platforms that ensure ad revenue (cough, cough Apple!). Is that something you really want to contribute to?

do they receive revenue from just having the ads visible or do you have to actually click on them? if you have to actually open the ad then I don't see how ad blocking software deprives them of anything, let's face it if you use ad blockers(and I don't) then you obviously have no intention of clicking on any ads

Agreed. They only make money if you click on the ad thats how Google AdSense revenue works.

My understanding is that revenue can be generated from both impressions and clickthroughs.

Really missing root!

First phone ever that I don't have root right off the bat. Biggest thing for me is all the ads. It's driving me crazy! Anyone have a non root block ads method? I've tried adblock plus and adguard. Neither does the job.
Adguard does if your premium otherwise I believe it's only browser ad blocking

Root is the reason I haven't bought the S7 yet. Waiting a few to see if it becomes available. If not, I'll stay with my S4. Pathetic I know lol. But I FINALLY was able to root the S4 on OF1 a couple months ago and there's no way I'm going to go back to a crippled phone.
What kind of ads are you talking about? Ads outside of a standard pop-up in the web browser?
Ads period in browser, free apps that have their ad banners etc
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
Like MrWicked says. For example, if you play words with friends, yeah, I know, I'm lame, it has and ad banner as well as an ad after every move. Sometimes it's a video ad and there is no way to just exit or skip it.
There is a link from their site back to the dev link that opens an xda discussion on it's release back in 2014. It's 51 pages long, whew! I'm going to check it out as it sounds very good if it works with my antivirus and firewall, Bitdefender. They may bump heads.
Thanks for the info!
