Hello,
I've flashed to a new rom and installed adfree(like i previously had) and updated list and it no longer works. it used to work on my stock root. so i figured i would try adaway and same issues...
i tried rebooting phone, clearing dalvik cache etc just to see if it would help. same problem.
could there be a conflict somewhere? am i doing something wrong?
i tried installing busybox but i already had it.
any help would be fantastic!
What's the problem with address?

What'd u mean by it does not work? ? Does it say new host names found download and install but your still getting ads or is it force closing or is it saying your not roo
ted or what
It updates and says should be ad free. But it does nothing
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I find on adfree I need to have "Use /data/data/hosts symlink" and "create symlink if needed" checked to get it to work.
Tried it. No change. Don't understand this.

Select "Use /data/data/hosts symlink" and "create symlink if needed" , force update the hosts file, reboot.
That's all I needed to do to make it work on stock rooted EI22. It's possible the rom you are on has the hosts file somewhere odd?
It's possible that the image of the ad was cached somewhere on your SD card. Try the same app in airplane mode to see if it's pulling it from the net (in which case Adaway should block it) or if it's loading it locally.
Scour your card for ad images.
Try another app w/ ads.
Tried everything. I'm using acs ics 5. But I've tried other roms.
Just doesn't make sense. Could my jailbreak be bad?

Title says it all. I heard of a few ROMs not having it and just wanted to see what I would have to do to give it the boot
It, like other apps can be removed if you have Root. If you have S-OFF, you can use Root Explorer to delete, or better yet, move the apps you don't want to a storage directory.
There are a number of threads on how to do this.
Thanks. Just wasn't sure if it could be removed without complications. I'm on a deodexed rom. Is it just the .apk to remove?

I'm trying to delete the Facebook and Flicker fields. I'd like to use root explorer if possible...TIA
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Not too difficult, in root explorer go to system..app then delete. Make sure u mount as r/w.
Hey thanks for your reply I've already deleted the apk's but that alone does not get rid of the Facebook and flicker check mark field...not sure if you looked at the attached pic but it shows what I'm talking about..if you have anymore ideas please let me know!

I would assume one would have to be running a deodexed rom, then find a mod that did what u need
Greetings,
I'm also attempting to delete select apps.
I'm running on a rooted (Unrevoked 3.21 & Unrevoked-forever) stock ROM.
However, any attempt to delete an app while SU'd in Terminal-Emulator, returns
failed; read-only filesystem.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for all your time and consideration.
--Chris
The way I deleted these apps was the following: I have clockwork recovery running. So I ran that. Then in the recovery screen, You select partition menu and mount the /system. Next I ran cmd and opened the adb shell. The command to remove app is "rm /system/app/ + name of app" if you need more info, let me know.
Hope that helps.

Root explorer is so much easier, just download from the market open it up, mount as r/w nacigate to system then app and delete to ur hearts content
Sorry I messed this post up

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too..its probably something in the framework that needs to be deleted.

I'm running Dk28, EXT4 with NebulaROM 1.0.7. Lately, I've tried to download flashable .zip files, and it tells me, "download unsuccessful, file not compatible" or something like that. I get the same message using the XDA app and browser. Anyone else getting this?

Instal Auto file manager if you don't have it already. Open astro, select menu, then more, and then preferences. Then scroll down and check enable browser downloads. This should fix your issue.

Thanks, Ray. It worked.
Anyone know another workaround for this? I have Root Explorer installed, so I don't need Astro, and I'm a freak about unwanted/unneeded apps taking up space.

No that was my only solution too. I know what you mean I have root explorer too

Hey,
When I try to install any application to my phone its giving me an error saying 'could not install on usb or sdcard "
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
I've tried rebooting and the whole battery removal deal. My sd card is not set to read only. And applications are installed on the phones memory then I move them to my sdcard if I need to.

That is the name of the recovery.
What ROM is your phone using? Like CM7 or Myns WarmZ?
Also, what app are you trying to install and how are you going about installing it?
I noticed this on another site the other day. http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...on-usb-storage-or-sd-card-problem-on-android/
Hope that helps.
That's the exact problem I am having. Problem is, that file is not in my sd card!
How do I find out what rom I'm using? Its not in setting.. about phone.
I can you my phone is rooted using unrevoked, and I have never changed any rom or thing like that... its just been unrevoked (the latest one) and that's it... then I just install apps. So, the default rom?
And the difference between my problem and the one you posted is that All APPLICATIONS CANT BE installed, not just some... but it's the same error, exactly as it appears on that link above.

What program are you using to view your SD card? As the article suggests, use Root Explorer to search for the file. You may not be able to see "hidden" files using other explorers. Root Explorer is the default ninja app. ;+)
As far as "what ROM," if you've only used unrevoked, yes, you're just on the stock "default" ROM, albeit a rooted stock.
I was using esfile explorer and I did select the option to view hidden files but that didn't show me everything, apparently. I know this because I connected my phone to my pc, view the files from there and then I found this stupid file that causes this error.
I didn't have root explorer and obviously couldn't install it because of the issue in was having.
Thanks for the help everyone! Much appreciated.

Ok, so I know there has been a lot of talk about this already. I searched and read numerous posts but I am still having problems. I dont know if I am reading old threads about this or what but this is what i have done. I downloaded "wallet installer". Im not sure how old the version was but it did in fact change the build prop to say nexus. I installed google wallet and now the "setup tap and pay" tab was finally there. I added a card to set it up and the card was added fine. But then it says "tap and pay failed". I don't know how to fix this problem at this point. I have even tried getting an older version of google wallet, but that did not work either. I tried the xposed installer, but it didnt work either. Is it possible to get this working on our phones?

I was having the same issues as you. I would install the GW Installer, reboot to find my device ID changed to GNex, install GW from the market and set up Tap and Pay, then Restore my build.prop in the GW Installer only to find out that the TnP feature wouldn't survive the build.prop restore. (I think the problem stems from an old version of GWInstaller and the new version of GW.apk. Installer needs updated I believe)
I did it probably 6 times and failed each time. But, in the end I used Loserskater's modded version (which is the latest) and it works fine. Just uninstall any version you have of GW and then push his modded version to /system/app and set permissions, reboot. Open up GW and set up TnP and your are good to go from there.
My Google Wallet physical card should arrive today in the mail. Right in time for Christmas shopping.

Ok. These are not apps that you install in the traditional way (ie Package Installer). What you want to do is go the the OP of that thread I linked and download this one (com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel-2.0-R141-V14-MODDED.apk). Then using a file explorer like Root Explorer or ES, you copy that apk and open /system/app and paste it there. Once you do that, longpress on the app and set permissions to 644 (rw-r-r). Once that is done, back out of your file explorer and reboot. Then your GW will be installed. Upon reboot, you'll see it say, Updating Apps 1 of 1.
Open you app drawer, fire up the app and set up TnP.

Ok i downladed that apk. If i go to my regular download app i see the apk but i can copy or move it from ther so i went into ES and i went to sdcardo/dowloads but dont see the apk there. Where woukd it be?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Based on your signature, are you doing this on Tapatalk? If so, then your apk is in your tapatalk default download folder (wherever you have that located) and not in the normal "downloads" folder.
I meant i "cant" copy from the regular download manager. But i dont see the apk in ES
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Don't use the Download Manager.
Where is your tapatalk folder located? Give me the pathway.
Edit: Do you have a Tapatalk icon in your notificaiton bar stating that you downloaded the app?

I dont know what tapatalk is but i got a notification that it was downloaded, yes. While in ES, i searched for the apk and found it but then i tried moving it, but it wouldnt move to the system/app file. I dont know.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
It says copy task failed when i try to "copy to" or move task failed when i try to "move to". Maybe its doing this because i searched for the file in ES instead of locating in manually?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Ok then. So you found the app. That is good. The reason why it won't move to /system/app is probably becuase you need to mount the /system partition in the file explorer. Since I don't use ES, I can't help you with that.
With Root Explorer, there is a button on the top left that stated "Mount R/O or Mount R/W". You need to mount your /system/app as RW.
Edit:
Here is how to mount it and where to find the settings to do so with ES.

Refer to my post just before your last one.
In your screen shot, look at the Blue !, See the very end where it says Read-Only file system? That is what I mean about you needing to make it Read-Write.
Lol..so close, yet so far. I think that link you just sent explains how to get the ES app. Im confused because after reading that thread i dont see where it explains how to make the wallet apk file writeable to be able to copy and paste to system/app using ES.

The link that I posted was to show you how to use ES file explorer to mount /system.
You don't need to do anything to the Wallet app other than copy/paste.

Yes. Make system RW. Then copy yout Wallet apk after you do that to /system/app. Longpress to set permissions to 644 (rw-r-r) and reboot.
Let's get someone else in here that might know more about ES.
