AdFree doesnt work anymore? 6.1a defrost rom

Hey Guys
Im trying to get rid of these annoying ads from pingchat or angry birds and even though the adfree is installed downloaded the hosts files etc and rebooted it still shows the ads, did Google blocked adfree in Froyo roms?
thanks

Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall adfree ? I had this issue before and that fixed the problem.

Must admit I'm having trouble with it at the moment too, been the last week or so maybe?
When I first rooted my phone (about 3 weeks ago) it was fine, but more recently it refuses to work. App itself is happy, just that it doesn't block ads.

Yeh well just reinstalled adfree and still nothing :/ hmm any ideas appreciated

Try Redux RC6 ROM, it seems to have adblocking built in (and is also a generally fantastic ROM) - its working well for me right now.
Also try Gingervillain 0.9 - once you're running it, you can install an adblocking zip from the villain setup app which is built in to the ROM. GV 1.0 is now available, but general feedback seems to suggest that it is buggy compared to 0.9, so go for 0.9 - I used to use this and it was fine, plus adblocking worked!!

I've always found setup to successfully run it to be different with every other ROM I tried - even across versions of the same ROM (which is a PITA). Mainly because of the variance in ROM structures. Right now for instance, I'm debugging the same issue on RCMixHD v3.0 D2W and I still can't manage to get it working.

I've managed to get it working again by finding my "hosts" file and deleting it and letting adfree to regenerate it again. Somewhere in "etc" folder.
Hope this helps.

what directory?
and btw I am not willing to change my rom until gingerbread for nexus is released and ported

Its straight in system/etc.
I also just had this link suggested. Flash via recovery for hosts update, host listing updated weekly so just reflash if you start getting ads.
Just removed adfree and flashed this and can confirm it works.

Downgrade Flash 11 to flash 10.3

If anybody is still having trouble getting video to play after the latest flash update from 10.3 to 11 just uninstall 11 and download 10.3 from here:
link
It works just like it did before, any moderators if we have another Thread like this one laying around please feel free to deleted but I didn't see one
if you use Dolphin browser and is not working for you try the following:
Use root explorer(any other root explorer is fine) to go into Data > Data > Find Browser folder > App_plugins > com.adobe.flashplayer> .macromedia > flashplayer > Long press config.data > permissions > uncheck all the boxes.

its working now. Thanks

Im glad is working for you

Sorry for noob questions, but
Does this require root to accomplish? Can I use this file to upgrade from 10.2 flash to 10.3?
I only ask because I'm new to the Inc2 having come from DX where I could drop apks into a directory and install from there. Inc doesn't seem to let me do that. And no, I'm not rooted, my Inc2 came with 2.3.4.

nope no root require just unistall the 10.2 version thru applications -> manage apps and install the 10.3

Modify stock browser

Is there a way to modify the stock browser to ALWAYS open a new tab when you hit a link?
I know you can do it with a long press then select new tab, but I want it always open a new one.
Running an. A100 not rooted. Will wait a for ICS before I root

Unfortunately no I don't think the stock browser provides a way to change that setting. I would suggest you try using Dolphin HD. Once its installed you can change it to your default browser. It DOES have that feature and many others. It seems to be one of the must have apps for a tablet.

1.1 Firmware mirror for NST

So I just picked up a nook simple touch and am eager to root it, I've done plenty with Android on phones, never an ebook though. I've been reading the material here and had a couple questions.
1.) It looks like 1.1 firmware is needed for most of the roots here, however B&N only lists 1.2 currently. Does anyone have a mirror to 1.1 or tell me how to get that, currently I'm on 1.0.1
2.) If I can't get 1.1 are there any roots that will work for 1.2? I've been following the thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748 and it looks like it only works from 1.1 by the sound of it.
3.) Is everyone or anyone using the NoRefreshToggle? If so what do you think? Is it worth trying it out? Dangers of using it? When you toggle it off do you get greyscale back? From the sounds of the post, it's pure black and white with it on which is fine if when I disable it, it goes back to normal greyscale images.
4.) Did anyone find out how to turn off page animations in the kindle app? not a big deal, just wondering.
Thanks a lot, look forward to trying this out.

Here's a copy of nook_1_1_update.zip I pulled down from B&N a few weeks ago: http://www.mediafire.com/?h5kn1214gfjhkcg In the end I didn't need it, so I can't confirm how the upgrade works (the instructions said just put the file within the zip on an SD card and reboot)

Thanks for the link

Thanks for the 1.1 post link, however I updated to 1.1.2 and followed the instructions and everything seems to be ok, I can get email, install from the market place, only thing I can't do is search the market. A search just lists a blank page and doesn't find any apps, any ideas.
As for the Kindle question, after installing kindle app and seeing the performance, this isn't a big deal at all.
Still curious on the refresh toggle however, any ideas on that, have you guys tried it out? I may post there if I don't hear back.
Thanks

I have checked and as you said market search functionality is absent, it seems to be broken since the Googleplay thing.
As a way to regain it, in the mean time we get an updated market working, install Searchmarket.
The NorefreshToggle is still in early stages, but works quite well for webpages, etc.
Try it, there are no risks on it, on any program when you enable the app it will work, and when you go into a menu it will return to normal grayscale.

How do I install Searchmarket if I can't search the market for it lol ... Do I have to install it on my phone first, then transfer the apk over to the NST, then file browse and install it from /system/app ?
I tried NoRefreshToggle, it's interesting, like you said a work in progress ... Tried it with GReader unfortunatly it shuts off between Feed view and Article view which is a pain, but I think that's probably to avoid ghosting.
As for web page viewing, Opera Mini FCs on me everytime I open it, as does the stock browser, so I haven't been able to try browsing as of yet Still looking for a solution to that one.
Thanks for all the info, really enjoying the NST if NoRefreshToggle keeps getting better this could really be a killer device

I just use the Google Play website to initiate installs to the nook (it appears in my device list as "phone")
The included Opera Mini installation never worked for me (no FC nothing). In the end I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling.

Didn't even know you could send apps like that to your devices, never had a need to try it before. Worked like a charm ... Opera is working now as well, thanks for the tips Really enjoying Android on the NST

So are you saying you are on 1.1.2 rooted and enjoying it?
Should I downgrade to 1.1.1 and root or just go ahead with 1.1.2?
I can't wait to try this out.

I can't speak to the upgrade patch from 1.1.1, I bought my NST yesterday, it had 1.0.1 on it, I upgraded to 1.1.2 then followed the rooting instructions for 1.1.0 or was it 1.1.1 can't remember, in any case, after rooting everything seems to be working just fine

RubenRybnik said:

It was 1.1.0, there was no 1.1.1

Is there any risk upgrading to 1.1.2 from 1.1.0? Would I have to reinstall google apps &c? Did anything change in between 1.1.0 and 1.1.2? (I have heard that they may have fixed the WiFi issues that were plaguing me a few months ago.)

Flash player on our Note 2 in under 3 minutes. No root needed.

Excuse me if this has been posted already I searched and couldn't find anything. I was able to find a link showing how to get flash player up and running on the Galaxy Note 2. I don't take credit for any of this I just came across the link, and tried it on my phone as well as my girlfriend and it works flawlessly. The only problem is it does not work with Google Chrome, it only works with the stock internet browser. Click this link

Make sure you go to page one, the first post.
And then download the APK, install and you're good to go. Remember it only works with Internet Explorer not Chrome, and again I apologize if this has been posted. My girlfriend and I are not rooted so we're on stock roms and it works flawlessly. Good luck and have fun

Thank you for sharing!

Not sure what you mean it only works on Internet Explorer since there's no IE on android. I've done this before, it's it's pointless since I use chrome as my main default browser all the time.

He means the stock browser, but yes, it only works on that. Chrome does not support flash at all.

I meant the stock internet browser. And I use Chrome all the time too, but if I need flash I just use the stock browser now. This post is for people who want flash and don't know how to get it. Not everybody uses chrome (and this is not pointless to those who need flash like myself. My business website has flash on it so I times I need flash on my phone) many people still use the stock browser, and I'm sure people who do you Crome all the time like myself, if they need flash they will go back to the stock browser now that they know how to get flash when flash is needed.
