Adfree Not removing any ad's?

Hi,
Been using adfree for a while now and i have to say it's a fantastic app, however i've been using Leedroid (which is a brilliant rom may i add) and the ad's are getting through on each and every prog which would have them.
Am i missing something or is this little prog come to and end of usefullness ??
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i hate adverts, they're evil

Did you update AdFree's files?

Sometimes it's a cat and mouse deal. Google are always providing new servers to serve up ads from and then you have to wait until the new hosts are included in an adfree update.

Yes, repeatedly, I uninstalled it a few times, even wiped the dalvic cache and other cache on phone guessing it might have helped but nothing, this is the first time it's not worked for me.

Yes it does ! What did you think it did ?
But like dr.mox said it's the host being updated against so it doesn't work until there is an update, u should get it, it's a must for root users unless you hold a certain like for adverts on your device, i know i don't.
Thanks for all these answers, i appreciate it, but is there defo nothing else it could be?

The new hosts are 100% the issue. I have noticed same myself. A couple of days after ads reappear, adfree announces updates were found (if you have it set to advise you) and after updating and rebooting the ads are gone again.

Market 3.1.5

This is the new Market upgrade. Speed has been very much improved. 3.1.3 was slow.
But 3.1.5 has improved on speed.

I like the new market, but it can be slow to load and updates often get stuck on the loading screen which sucks. Grey loading screens also have a yellow tint on my device. A work in progress I think.

I was having some problems with downloads on the new Market but luckily it has been resolved.
I have to agree the interface is quite smoother now.

The new market is fast, but search is crap. It rarely shows anything.
Update: Search is working fine now

I'm on newest version, but updates often get stuck here too.
Have to use FastBoot and then problem always is solved ...
Do we have to wait for new (non beta) version or did you find a solution?

When I use the new market, apps are missing from the installed list.
Eg, Facebook is not listed even though i have it installed, when I search for it, it says installed.
Also it thinks Maps isn't installed....

Delete data and cache and all apps installed from the market will appear in the list. I also do the same when my apps list loads forever and hangs, after that it's faster for some time. This new market is kinda poorly optimized, hope they release a new version to be as fast as the old skool market.

In my opinion the android market app sucks in any of his versions and with any rom, stock or mod.
It's often slow, sometimes i see an update available for an app but when i click on it there is no update button. When perform a search 80% times it find only porno-nudegirls-related things, and also not so related...
I think google really should have to put a lot more attention and start developing an app that is fast and functional and not the crap we have now... And maybe have more respect for all the serious developers here who post their applications in the market and see theirs accounts gone for no reason as appened to Leo...

Seems to work perfectly for the majority of people. I suggest you may have issues with your device if you find it slow. Also, if you keep finding "porno-nudegirls-related things" then I suggest you stop searching for them
In summary, it works perfectly for me. My only beef would be that it just doesn't have a download button, rather than telling you an app is not compatible.
Also, the Honeycomb Market is sooooo much better, so ICS will clearly have a better version as well.

Wow amazing. It's blazing fast. Worth a shot.

I also got the problem that installed apps are missing in the market(Facebook too and about 20 others). Tried clearing data and cache + reboot didnt help.
Has anyone a clue how it can be solved?

Market Doctor in Titanium Backup fixes that.

I have already 3.1.5

Ty, but market dr. didnt help because he doesnt recognise the links as missing, also most apps in the market are telling me that my phone is not compatible - my guess is that the market also thinks that my installed apps are not compatible and therefor not shown..
Can anyone help? I have no clue what to do.

Yes ... it's often slow.
Yes ... often there is an update available for an app but when i click on it there is no update button
And nearly every time there actually is an update button present ... update will hang due to some kind of connection error (never start downloading app)
Removing new Market update or (fast) rebooting phone solves this problem until new Market update re-install itself again.
My phone NOT faulty ... new Market or maybe something behind the walls of Goggle is buggy ...
Anybody found a prober solution working on not rooted phone

Hating the new search, If say, 5000 results are found, it'l only show about 200-300, wtf?

Hmmmm i am getting vending process crash trying to update or install apps, anyone else? =\
That didn't work, bloody hell!!!! My phone was running so well, I guess I will have to reflash the rom ::weeps::
Be cautious un-installing apps using titanium.

Make sure you place the apk in the system/apps using something like root explorer.

no problems here, just installed it as a market update, no pushing req'ed.
its interesting to me that some are getting issues with app installs on this ver?
it Does seem to break a feature or two with TB (from what ppl are saying, out there, on the internets), the dev has been alerted, and I would expect an update soon. as far as Amazon... idk
worked flawlessly for me, but then again, I don't use Amazon, or TB to uninstall appz.

[Q] Ad Blocking

Can someone tell me why I still have ads on my apps?
I am rooted with one-click, installed Calkulin's rom 2.9.2 and went ahead and installed Adfree to see if it would help. Still have ads.
Never had a problem with the rooting or flashing the rom. I have also tried several modems trying to find the best for my phone. I currently have FC18 installed and it seems to be the best so far, Sat. lock is almost instant.
Thanks in advance,
Rick

OP where are you seeing the ads?

Did you run adfree and rebooted your phone ?

I'm on blazer and see ads in tweetcaster. That's the only one as far as I can tell

go to the settings in Addfree.

Add free works best while app with adds is running, hit home button, open add free, run add free, you should get a conf. No add present, do this while on wi-fi .
Works for me every time.

Tried adfree, adaway and rom toolbox.
Still get ads on some apps.
Oh well, they are free apps so can't really complain.
Edit: I found another post on another forum and it stated if the host file shows a bunch of IP addresses as "127.0.0.1", then it didn't work. Anybody know how to fix this?

Odd...that is precisely the core of the ad-block... basically any address that points to that, say ad.doubleclick.net gets redirected internally to the loop address, i.e. it wont be able to load the ad since its being blocked. It could be that the application is getting the ad from somewhere else. Try droid wall.

Phone app won't wake screen!!!!

This is driving me crazy!!!
When my phone is off sitting on a table and it rings, the screen does not come on. Just sound. I thought it was the theme, so I removed it from the dialer app and that didnt help. I removed the update in the Playstore and the screen comes on again when it rings. I removed auto update for the app, but what could be the reason the updated app isn't working for me?

Stock dialer or a custom app from app store?

Your issue has been reported by several others as well. They are doing the same thing you are to make it work. Would recommend you log complaint on play store under the phone app and see what happens. I truly think Google does this to jack with the themeers!

Stock, but I can't take it anymore, so I removed the update and installed Simpler dialer. I can't even disable the stock dialer or the screen won't come on. It's just been removed as default at this point.

I just read reviews for the app and tons of people are reporting it. What a joke!!!

I don't know if this will help or not, but a couple weeks or so ago, the Google phone app was giving me trouble with themeing. It was due to the fact that the theme was actually ahead of the Google update(go figure). So another user figured it out and linked me to the phone app on apk mirror. So I uninstalled the phone app, downloaded the apk mirror version from December 14th, installed it, and it worked great with my theme. What's more is that even after the update from Google, I'm not having the issue that you are, or many others for that matter. Here's the link if you want to give it a go. Can't promise anything, but what the heck :good:

Thanks for that. The dev of the theme I am using replied to me because his theme was not working on the phone app. He told me I needed to install this version
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/google-phone-15-0-179075669-release/
I installed it and applied the theme and it worked. Since the latest update, it doesn't. The version you posted is different than the one he did. I'm half tempted to try it, but at this point I have all the updates off the phone app and using a different dialer and it's working.
Also, how are you uninstalling the stock phone app...all I can do is uninstall the updates and disable.?

I uninstalled it using my root explorer. I just delete the apk, reboot, and gone. Have to be rooted though. If nothing else, just install the apk, then if you wind up with 2 phone apps, just disable or freeze the bad one. Or, just do what your currently doing. The updates aren't that big a deal anyways :good:

Just tried it. Once I apply theme, phone won't light up. Deleted 3rd party dialer, removed theme from dialer you provided. Now I'm using the Google dialer you gave me in stock white blinding form. A bit pissed...

I have the same issue. In my case I have a gear s3, and if I disconnect the bluetooth, when the call is coming the screen turn up normally, but if the gear is connected, the screen stays black..Additional, when you take a call or do a call, the sound automatically is route to the bluetooth device, I have to habilitate the sound in the phone manually. I think it was with the January update or the phone app last update, because other people have the same issue in their android devices. The solution for now is go to Play Store, search Phone app for Google, uninstall the updates, then go to settings in the phone - Apps - Phone, and clear the cache and data, force stop of the app. The phone app come back to another version (12.1...) which doesn't have this issue, after that the calls working normally. I hope for a fix from Google...
