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.

Hey guys,
I just flashed the CM7 RC, which CM stated to pretty stable and fine for everyday use. I downloaded the RC from within ROM Manager and did a wipe. Install went perfect and everything was as it should be. I then go into Market to download the Google Apps. When I try to open any of these apps though they all force close. I went and tried to download a few other apps(FB, Twitter, etc) and they all do the same. The apps that came with the ROM (Torch, FileManager,ROM Manager) all work fine...
I tried a reboot, but the problems continue.
I guess I'll try to flash again form the SD-Card this time to see if it has the same problems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Read through the development thread, people are having problems with rc 1 build.
For the time being, im sticking to nightliessince they are stable most of the time.
Ok thanks.
Do you know the differences between the RC and the nightly builds?

From what i have gathered, nightlies continue to be in development wirh new rhings being added. Rc are bundled wirh the most best applicable things and left as is...or to shiw what the final build will look like.
Nightlies continue even after final build most of the time.
A senior member might want to chime in on this as well.
Edit....in newer builds my simeji app seems to be colliding with android keyboard ap via adw launcher...dont know what to do haha.
Apps will FC because its gingerbread. Also this is a known problem with GB and CM7.

Oh ok. So its on the app side.
So i went and downloaded it again, this time flashing from the SD-Card. Everything came up fine, but when I started up I didnt go through a google account setup and theres no market.
Any way to get the market app?
Thanks
Here is the deal, first the permissions are not right when you are getting the FCs. Go into rom manager and click fix permissions. Also I thought this forum had intelligent members .... gingerbread is not to blame for any force closing. It is completely backwards compatible. I am running CM7 RC and it is working after 2 tries and fixed permissions. No problems.

And you forgot to download the Google apps package with your CM7. You will have to redownload and reinstall to get the market back on until they release a separate Google apps add on for GB
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Ok thanks, but where is that Google Apps Package download?
It came with the download from ROM Manager, but not when I downloaded it from CM's site(http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/220-update-cm-700-rc1-inc-signedzip/).
If you could direct me to the download that includes the GApps it would be really appreciated it.
Thanks.

Thank You So Much!
This fixed all problems.
I'm also running CM7 RC1 with zero problems. When I first installed it, I got tons of FC's on the first boot. I rebooted into recovery and did a factory reset. After that, everything has been running fantastic.
Everything has been fine for me running cm 7. Now today, force closes on anything internet related. Browsers, reader, market etc... Have fixed permissions, flashed clean on a factory reset. Any ideas?? Also are there other apps that fix permissions besides rom manager?
Edit: Got everything working off a clean install. Oh and cwrecovery fixes permissions (face palm).
Maybe unrelated but why does setcpu never give an accurate core speed report using the widget? Example: two hours ago I set the CPU to 1113 to test neocore. After the test I idled it back down to 998. The widget never updated and now two hours later it still hasn't updated and it still says its at 1113. The only way to get the widget to reflect my current setting is to remove it and then place it back on the screen.

Hi, I was on Leedroid of last years build so I thought I'd give a go at a HD rom.
I installed CoolHD and I love new sense features but I'm having problem with adfree.
I doesn't block ads. I tried updating, reinstalling but I still get ads on my apps.
I searched on google and forum and CoolHD post but I don't see any information on this.
Thanks
I think I found my problem. S-on seems to cause Adfree not to work although on Leedroid it didn't have problem. Trying to get S-off now.
Edit: Nop, that wasn't it. Not fixed. Any help will be appreciated!
Flashy flashy
Just tried adblock. I get
"E:Failure at line3:
copy_dir Package:system Sytem:
Installation aborted"
I still don't get why adfree doesn't work.
If you have s-off, try this. Use something like Root Explorer, go to /system/etc and delete the hosts file or its symlink. Then run Adfree and update the hosts file. Make sure the symlink check-box is unchecked.
I'll give that a go when I restore rom just to see if that fixes it next time I flash new rom.
I changed to InserCoin Z and adfree works now.
I am using REDUX 1.0.1 and my adfree aint working either, and friend of mine has GSG on Darkys ROM and adfree working charmingly... it seems something in the ROM
UPDATE: 3rd July 2012
yet another update guys, this time Jelly Bean version 3.7.13
i will also leave the previous version attached.
Note: for some reason google has renamed the apk file name to phonesky no idea why, so i was a bit baffled when trying to find the apk in system/apps folder lol
i know that most people will recieve the update automatically sooner or later, but for people in regions with a slow rollout grab it from the attachment.
also any devs that want to integrate it into their rom, makes it easier for the end user rather than them having to update.
Hope it helps.
Enjoy guys.
Thanks a lot,it is faster than 3.3.11.
Your welcome.
Yeah feels much faster now.
This is how it should have been from the beginning
Thank you very much, a lot better than previous version.

hi...i used Jikantaru XE rom...i dont install market 3.4.4....i try normally.....i try copy to system folder...i try install zip in recovery menü....i cant install....
sorry my bad englich...
Waaaaayyyy too fast.
Thanks a lot.
I didn't notice such a huge difference. Maybe because I use it on WiFi mainly.
The Market servers are responding better now and I downgraded to 3.1.13 without feeling a difference that justifies the memory usage.
Thanks anyway to all involved.

Did you clean cache and data from the old market? Because I use wifi too and it is twice as fast loading apps that I click and images too.

Try install it like any other .apk using a file manager don't forget to clear cache and data before first use, in application manager.
Then use titanium backup to push the update into the rom.
the market can b fix by installing this update in cm7...see improvement after reboot..
Buggy
I saw it as a fast but useless upgrade. Try relinking market links with Titanium or Rom Manager Pro. Doesn't work and loses all your market links on a recovery from backup. Shows installed apps as uninstalled, etc. It's random and buggy.
Uninstalled and reinstalled, cleaned data, cache etc.. No go.
Reverted to 3.3.12 and no problems. All my market linked apps came back and showed me all the updates I'd been missing out on since early December.
Going to wait on this one. Market 3.3.12 isn't all that slow anyways.

Yes I did clean cache and data from the old Market. It's still a bit slow loading images but I admit that it's slightly better than the previous version. Now I'm using it because basically my phone auto-installed it and I won't downgrade again.
I had to use Root Explorer, delete the system/app/vending.apk, copy the new market3.3.3.apk to same folder, rename it to vending.apk then rebooted phone and the market was there, working.
Rooted, latest RocketRom v13 with abyssnote.
This was automatically downloaded as an update for me. O_O
yes, faster but bigger.. and for s-on users is new market horror moovie...
Hi,
Since i can't post in the thread, so I just highlight in here.
I've been using this rom for about a month. This rom is really nice but since the new update, it gets even better. Only one small thing, the LED flashlight widget in the quickpanel didn't show up although you have tick it in the settings.
That's all. I hope someone could tell this to Spizzy01 so that he can fix this.
Thanks...

Most probably Spizzy01 has removed the flashlight because there is a bug with camera !!
Really?? Well, I didn't know that....

Aurora Play Problems
Hello,
I just installed Aurora Play 1.1.0 and I am having problems which I think might be related to superuser.
The Rom works fine, but anything that requires root access gets frozen in place. My phone is rooted, I am pretty sure of it - not only the bootloader is unlocked but also, I did manage to initially change the clock speed to 1.4 ghz, and that change has remained so far.
However, if, for example, I try enabling root access on the ES File Explorer, it simply freezes the app (sort of like it is waiting for the confirmation from Superuser, but it never comes). I only ever saw the superuser authorization screen once when I changed the clock at first.
I am pretty sure the OC is not the problem, since I reinstalled the rom and did no OC on the 1st time at all, but the same problem persisted.
I would try uninstalling SU and installing that other superuser app on the market to see if that would solve the problem, but I couldn't manage to uninstall it.
Any thoughts on this? I would love to solve this problem since this room is outstanding on all other accounts.
PS.: I followed all instructions to the letter, and like I said I tried reinstalling the rom already. I am using Lupus v10 (tried Lupus v11 before on the 1st installation).

Can CWM coexist with TWRP? I think I only have TWRP installed. Or can I just use TWRP instead?
missing pixels in landscape app drawer
Spizzy, first and foremost congratulations on this great rom, it is fantastic! The only gripe I'm having is that when the app drawer is in Landscape mode it is cutting some pixels on the bottom (can't see the lower end of the blue highlight when using the ps controls). Other than that, all is perfect so far.
It worked!
Thanks a lot, Spizzy! Whatever that package was, it worked great and now superuser is not giving me any headaches anymore. Everything works great and the rom is blazing fast!
Just one thing - when I checked the info that comes up on the pachage before installing it, it said it was for locked bootloaders, but I assume that was a typo (since the zip file is for unlocked, and mine is unlocked as well). Just mentioning since it could maybe cause a little confusion on people downloading it in the future.
Oh and I did use TWRP in the end - I guess it's the same thing.
Many others besides myself seem to have an issue where adfree/adaway don't seem to work.
I tried manually replacing my hosts file in /etc with esfile (root explorer enabled and system mounted R/W). However after rebooting, my hosts file seems to have changed back to the default one.
The steps I took:
- Pasted edited hosts file into /system/etc/. (I'm rooted so no errors so far)
- Changed permissions to rw-r-r
- Reboot
And after the reboot the my larger hosts file seems to have been replaced with some default one.
I'm currently using MyRom, but I've tired checking any setting that would interfere with this. I've also tried a fresh install of MyRom and this still happens. I think other people may have similar problems with adfree/adaway because of a similar issue. I'm thinking about reverting to stock and trying it again?

are you using adfree program restored from TB or from the store? if so you need to use TB Restore Fix after running TB .

I'll email the dev and see how the app is handling the host file. There is a known issue with some apps overwriting itself on reboot with (what i call) last known data.
Thanks for bringing this up.
* WHAT SPECIFIC APP ARE YOU USING (IE. ADAWAY)
I used adaway on official stock. Never had this issue with hosts reverting on reboot . It was however a pain to install, it fails and freezes multiple times before it works when ever I tried to update or revert the file.

Did somebody find a solution to this problem?? :crying::crying:
This does not answer your question directly, it gives you an alternative solution.
I use Adfree (for several years) by BigTinCan.com, it is easy to use and set up. I have never experienced a problem with it. Reboots work fine.

Seems strange that your host file would be changing if you never added a host adjusting app. Unless the ROM you are using includes it by default...
When I first started using AdAway on my GN3 it had problems.... It would start to update, stall, etc.... After a while however after an update or two, it worked itself out. Now I rarely think about it and manually updating it is very easy.
