Actual (2010-06-27) hosts file

Because AdFree is not working on Desire:
I've made hosts file which is compilation of two lists and some manual additions (for correct blocking of admob). So I decided to share with my list. Use it if You want to. Please tell me if this forum is wrong for that list.

Sorry for the n00b question but how do you install this?

Nice one mate. You've just reminded me I needed to redo my hosts file after installing Modaco Froyo, and I might as well use yours as it'll be more up to date than mine.

ditto this, instructions for us noobies?

unzip the host file
than enter recovery
adb-windows shell mount /system
adb-windows shell mv /system/etc/hosts /sdcard/backuphost
adb push c:\hosts /system/etc
that should wrok if you unziped hosts.zip to c:\ and if something goes wrong you have your original hosts file backed up in /sdcard/backuphost
hope this helps
p.s. i didn't try this

did everything, and adfree is still not working in froyo...
Thanks anyway!
Edit: Now, Adfree FCs!
Edit 2: I did it again and it worked!

Could someone please create a zip file, that can be falshed through clockworkmod recovery? This would be fantastic.

Try this, mate. [Click!]

Thanks dnlgee I put it in my repo on ROM Manager

This is great, thanks for sharing - it seems to work great. I might go back to a stock hosts though - I like to block ads when browsing, but I feel bad about doing it for ad-supported applications. That's just me though

Thank you. I have been looking for this for a long time

Great work, it worked a charm until I changed to a new rom, went to use it again and it was gone from the downloads in Rom Manager.
Big thanks.
Panic over, It was saved as a download on my SD card, Rom Manager flashed it again from the saved location no problem.
Love it.

Your stuff is gone from Rom Manager it seems mate.
Would I be right in assuming I can put this on my card renamed as update.zip (if I need to?)
Use rom manager to boot into recovery and flash it manually?
Great work BTW, it worked a charm until I changed to a new rom, went to use it again and as I say it was gone.

You don't need to rename the zip file if you're using ROM Manager, but yes you should be able to install this through the manager.
If you can't download it through the ROM Manager report, my link is always online and will be updated when possible.

Just a confused question;
If we have a rooted device, what's the reason for having to use the recovery menu? Can you not simply overwrite the file?
Thanks

Yea you can, provided you reboot into recovery and mount the system, then pull or push the device back into the system.
Either way you need to boot into recovery as there's no root method that fully allows read/write access for the Desire at the moment.

It should work like this. Unfortunatelly you can't mount system partition as read/write. That is because system is blocking this in some way.

Another quick one:
I used the zip file which people are using in the rom manager. I rebooted into clockwork and selected apply update from zip and selected the file. Appears I broke the system though lol .
Is this not the right way of doing it?
Also how do you type commands in the recovery? :S

Ava-FroyoV3 Q&A - How-to's, fixes, what to expect.

Seems like this is becoming needed, with so many redundant and ridiculous posts in the developer's thread.
Firstly, here's the scoop from Avalaunch himself:
Im proud to release, a 100% fully functional 2.2 Sense for the HTC Evo.
It is the official rom. and you will not lose root.
Working-EVERYTHING!!!
Bt works
4G works
3G tethering works (legally of course)
Wifi works
You can now record with the camcorder.(see i promised you all i would fix it by the weekend)
If you can not start 4G on first boot, restart. if you still cant, then wipe and flash the ROM ONLY!
Lastly, i can not be blamed for bricking or anything that may happen. follow my instructions and you should be set.
If there are any little issues, i will address them at a later time. i have had one hour of sleep and worked all day. im sorry but i dont care right now
Quirks-not all applications will show up in market. this will be fixed after google adds the evo to the database after release.
- i did not install busybox because of 4G issues. CLICK PROBLEMS? ON TITANIUM BACKUP TO ALLOW IT TO INSTALL BUSYBOX
and yes. i beat a company in releasing their software
Special thanks to Sprint, Google, and HTC for the amazing work they did. Super special thanks to Sprint for finally listening to customers and proving they ARE the best network

Third, here are the steps required to install the ROM:
You must be rooted, and nand unlocked before continuing. Do not even try this if you have no idea what I'm talking about:
1) Download the 3 files
2) Transfer to SD Card, reboot into recovery
3) Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache
4) Flash the ROM
5) Flash the radio
6) Reboot, it will return to recovery
7) Flash the wimax update
7) Reboot, it will return to recovery
8) Reboot into rom
9) Enjoy!

Lastly, let's clear up some questions! Newest questions added are first on the list.
How do I change the boot animation?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks to SimonTuffGuy:
New location is /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Rebooted into recovery, mounted system and did:
adb shell
cp /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip.bak
exit
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/
I made sure that my animation was named bootanimation.zip and in the same folder as adb.
adb reboot - and enjoy your new animation."
NOTE: I cannot test this, because I don't use Ava-Froyo. Someone please PM me confirming this is a go.

I, too, had a broken WiFi tether. However, I didn't ***** about it and set out to fix it. Here's what I did:
Download and the latest android-wifi tether from here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...me=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre4.apk&can=2&q=Evo
Reboot your phone.
Open wifi tether, go to settings, hit menu, and "reinstall binaries/configs".
See if it works now.

EDIT 1: I may have been too quick to the draw. I'm running netarchy's kernel, and it works fine. Let me reboot and flash Ava back on top, and try again.
EDIT 2: Yep, doesn't work in stock Ava ROM. Finding a fix.

Yes, currently you can fix this, but you will lose your rear camera! Don't say I didn't tell you so. If at any time you wish to have camera functionalily, flash the ROM again on top of it. It's that simple.
http://hannsz.com/XDA/netarchy-3.7.3c-froyo-signed.zip
However, I have managed good results with this!
- Overclocking to 1152mhz works
- Linpack getting 46 and change MFLOPS
- 5 sensor multitouch works
- fps2d averaging 53fps, hardware 0003 Novatek panel
Flash this on top of the ROM. To restore the camera, FLASH THE ORIGINAL ROM

It's built on an official Sprint ROM. Whether it's the same one as released today, or not, it's not really important. Wait for a rooted OTA rom to be developed if it's that important to you.

Can the radio and wimax updates be installed without the ROM for use with some other ROM (like CM6 or other)?

Sticky Please!
I vote to make this thread a sticky. I will flash this ROM as soon as I get home and this thread will be very useful.

Terminal emulator is not able to find su commands. When not in root, typing reboot gives "permission denied". After typing su, and getting the # prompt, reboot command returns "not found".
I tried reinstalling busybox via Titanium Backup. Terminal emulator's first command is "export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH"
Should that be changed so that su commands can be used in all directories?

Confirmed. I tried plugging in to check out my powertop, but no joy. I'm also not 100% sure if vanilla kernels can even RUN powertop, but regardless I was having superuser command execution issues as well.

[Q] Busybox not installing

Denizzje said:
Hey all,
I am having a problem with busybox. According to the 1.18 installer, I have 1.15.3 installed. But the installer won't let me upgrade because 'the nand is not unlocked'. When I try the older 1.17 version, I suddenly have no busybox installed and have the same message with the failed instalation. What can I do....

Which it does not. I don't understand, it makes an update.zip for me, I apply that update.zip, I go to busybox installer, it says it has 1.16 installed, but when I want to update to 1.18 I get that nand error again...
Should I flash to a different firmware?

assuming you have it rooted, you still
need to login to your Gmail account in Android Market
else the installer will not work, it will say DONE but it did nothing.
the only way to install properly is via Android Market busy box
