Try Adaway.
via xda app

Adfree Android

AdAway works better than Adfree for me, but in general both work only then really well if one is S-OFF),

well I was using this one adblock enable v2 but Its not working for me as well now :-/. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=630043&d=1308494869

In gingervillain there's an app called villain setup from there you can flash an ad-remove script. This script actually changes your host file(ip of ad-servers are redirected to localhost) so adds can't be loaded anymore.

Whenever I open it at bottom of app I gets loads of ads n accidentally touch it always.they do not have paid version for app so can not buy that. Earlier adblock n adfree used to block ads in this app. Any idea????

Speed up Market Place and Paid Apps Tab

Speed fix for Froyo Roms on MARKET
After playing with alot of Roms one thing i noticed is the incredible slow speed of market loads and searching. LeeDROID rom has excellent market speeds. The attached file is a grab of Market files from the LeeDROID rom and then packaged up to flash.
This has been tried on multiple roms and gives EXCELLENT SPEED WITH LOADING, SEARCHING and even DOWNLOADING. It is also know to give you back that illusive PAID TAB in some instances (has worked for me every time)
Give it a go and let us know what you think. Countrys with no paid apps may not add the paid tab.
Also once rebooted it may take half hour to sync up with Google before you notice the speed. But once its going it is alot faster
ENJOY!!
Install - Flash zip from Recovery or ROM Manager
of course always nandroid first before flashing anything.
I take no responsability for bricks
Big thanks to LeeDroid (and congrats on the new baby) and also dancedreamfly for helping with packaging

attached to the bottom of my first post
any feedback if people are noticing the speed difference here
Does it actually remove the Market or can it work alongside (for comaprison purposes it would be useful to download the same app within each)

it replaces it, could nandroid and compare your two different roms, but if you was suffering from slow market you will notice the speed anyway
Anyone tried this?

i couldnt tell you, i have only ever tried on Sense Roms, Previous users have told me it worked on non sense roms such as Defrost so I should imagine it would work fine as it doesnt edit any of the framework of the rom.
Ill try it tonight and see but if you wanna have a go nandroid it first and let me know the results
what's the MACOSX folder?
No paid apps on djdroid.UK network..but its super fast and is now giving me the option to auto update my apps

How do I change dpi on my phone?

Could you provide me a link to where its already been covered or explain it yourself? Is it possible without using a computer? Thanks

Try LCDDensity from market. There are prolly loads of others but that seemed to work ok wen I tried it.
Standard DPI is shweet for me though.

Yeah, most of those apps on the market require you to buy the paid version to have it stick. If you find a setting that you are happy with though, you can modify your build.prop in /system to make the change permanent (until you change it again anyway).
Edit: Process described in this thread.

New market update

New market update confirmed and coming soon according to Google. I think it looks pretty awesome. People are already yelling about the WP7 comparisons, but I think its pretty slick.
I think it looks quite smart. Bring it on
yup its very pretty, so us rooted users wont be able to rent movies?

Mine was choppy and didn't display images till i rebooted. then it worked just fine.
also if you're rooted you can try to wipe market data in titanium backup and reboot. or wipe cache and reboot and try that.
Works pretty dam good on non-rooted stock.
Video is nice and smooth. Couldn't really tell I was streaming on mobile data. (Which was probably 4g)

dang! Im running the pyro rom but cant get this to install. it just says "Application not installed" anyone has any ideas how to fix this?
Anyone having issues updating apps? I've had 2 apps now show up in the 'update' heading, but when u click thru to the app the top dialogue boxes are 'open' and 'uninstall', as if that page doesn't recognize that there's an update.
Once 2 apps were available for updating, the "update 2" button comes up and it allows me to hit it. 1 of the 2 updated. the other still won't. Tried wiping Market data and rebooting, no luck. bleh.
UPDATE: Well after doing several reboots and etc. etc., I just simply went back to the file (From this thread) and re-installed the market again. Now the 'update' button shows up! Not sure what I did but it works now.

Hulu App: G2 CM7

How do I get this app to work on my G2? I'm rooted and running CM7 2.3.7. I have an identical G2 with the same program on it running the same mod and hulu works on it. I would be using that phone but the volume button is broken so I had to root this one I have now to replace it. I don't understand why it runs on a rooted G2 before but doesn't on this new one I have. The only difference I see when I go to "About Phone" is the Baseband Version.
The baseband version on the one that works is 12.28h.60.140fU_26.06.02.27_M
The baseband version on the one that doesn't work is 12.22.60.09bU_26.02.01.15_M2
Is this a factor?
Is there a patch? A zip file of some sort or a work around Cyan has found to fix this?
What do you mean "work"? Are you not able to install it or run the app or watch shows? If you can't watch shows, it's probably because you need to have subscribed to Hulu Plus and then logged into the app.

In their defense, you didn't actually specify what was/wasn't happening; they were just trying to get intput in order to help you narrow down the problem/solution.

WOW ... sorry ... I don't know what I said but I didn't mean to offend you.
I've been looking around and there doesn't really seem to be a clear answer for those peoples issues with Hulu Plus.
One of the simplest fixes appears to be turning off any Ad-Block apps you have running. Make sure after you turned that app off that you reboot your phone at least once to make sure that the app is turned off.
A lot of the other fixes for Hulu appear to only be to play it through the browser.

Block ads... is there an app?

Hey I read that's kill battery I was wondering if any1 recommends any app to either remove or block ads

Yes, for rooted phones only.
It blocks the ads and also protects You.
It is a firewall, called Droidwall, it is also free.
look on Google Play.
some apps some just script only I mean its out there.... just got to search but I like rom toolbox for all in one access to everything
I've been using AdAway for almost a year and it works very well. So +1 for Adaway.

+1 for this one. I love ROM Toolbox, but it seems like AdFree is a little more efficient.
What about lucky patcher? I like that app....and it auto updates itself!!!!
adfree is the way to go
Yeah, AdAway is nice, but I think ROM toolbox is best. Just better to get more tools.

AdAway for sure
Hi,
I installed Adfree and it is working, but ...
... the part of screen where ads were is now black. So space for ads remains but there are no ads just black rectangle. Is there a way how to solve this and to be without ads and to use full screen space?
thanks
