hi all,
i recently noticed that i that i am unable to open any adfly links on my phone whether it is chrome / default browser / opera, i am unable to open any adfly links.
if someone has a similar problem plz share
I 've had the same problem 4 as long as I can remember, never found a way around it, so I'll b very interested if sm1 has a solution.
Be sure you didn't use AdFree or Adblock

Hi,
You must be an Omega ROM user.
To access adfly websites the easiest way is to open a Root Explorer, go to System, after, go to Etc, after find a file name "host" and delete that. It should probably work right after. Don't forget to hit thanks if it worked
Edit them and put www. Infront of it that works for me

From hosts file I think maybe its blocked by adfree ?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Yes un installing adfree and rebooting did it.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
i had adblock plus and maybe adfree also .. i later uninstalled them but even after that whenever i open ******* links it says please stop adblock .. HELP!!
uninstalling adfree/adaway won't help.
I solved it by using adaway(more options) and adding *·adf·ly to the whitelist (replace · with . )
deleting the hosts file(and if you use crossbreeder, the /system/etc/CrossBreeder/dhrd_root/master file) will likely work too, but you'll lose adblocking.
You can almost always just open the hosts file and edit out the entry being blocked.

Check for the update to 0.8.4.1 - there was a bugfix for various widget-based FC's.
I had the Facebook Widget problem, it took years to update/refresh my facebook to the latest status. I dont set auto refresh as I worry it will eat up my data and battery. Anyone knows the solution?
Yeah try the latest version

Try clearing the application data of "Storage Calendar"!
I also have a problem with Launcher Pro, didn't wanna start a new thread..
It doesn't save the settings when I restart it. For example, I change the number of homescreens or the animation when switching them, and the next time I run LP (restart in menu / kill app and restart / reboot etc.) it's back to default.
I also can't keep LP Plus activated.. I enter the code, it says it's activated, I can add the LP Widgets..but after restart, it's locked again..
Help?
Tried clearing the data but even that didn't work!
So confusing and the developer didn't answer to the emails I sent!

Force close LP. Then with Root Explorer or Super Manager delete the following folder: /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher
(Might work for OP too...)
Not storing settings: delete /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher directory using Root Explorer (or adb).
Thanks a lot guys!
I was previously trying to delete that with Astro, but nothing would show in databases folder. Works like a charm with Root Explorer.
Hey guys still waiting for an answer regarding the calander widget crash...

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!

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?

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?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
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.

Ok i got it to copy to system/app. When i long press it highlighta the app. Then i go to properties and i see permissions but it doesnt give me option to write anything. It has a change button.

Hi guys, i am new to xda. I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S II with stock jelly bean 4.1.2 (***LSW firmware version). I accidentally deleted my settings application (i converted it to user app by using rom toolbox and it disappeared). I have no backups so i was looking for someone who could extract a new "Settings.apk" compatible with my device and firmware version so that i could reinstall it. Thanks in advance to everyone!

have you look into your root folder then data/app to find setting.apk, or use titanium backup to convert back to system app
Yes, as i said in the first post i have no backup and the system/app folder doesn't contain any settings.apk. It disappeared completely. I also looked for it on the web but no one seems to have uploaded it online. This is the reason why I have posted here.
Please can anybody help me? I can't believe no one has got this phone here on xda..

Use a root explorer and copy it to /System/app and set permissions in the usual manner

I moved the apk to system/app and set the permissions, then rebooted, but it seems that it doesn't work. I tried in many ways. I installed it from rom toolbox, from root explorer, from "system app installer", but despite every operation and installation gives me a succes message as response, nothing happens. There is the file in system app, but every attempt to open the settings fails with a force close and there is no icon in my app drawer.
Do you have the secsettings.odex in your /system/app?

I reverted to rooted knox free stock firmware N7100XXUEML6 on my Note 2. I then had to re-root the rom using Dr. Ketan's Multitool.
Now, i have installed every app, but when it comes to installing facebook or viber, the playstore gives me error -24. I looked up forums and found that the problem would be solved if i deleted the app folder in /data/data. The folders i am supposed to delete are com.facebook.katana and com.facebook.orca.
But whenever i use root explorer to delete the folder, it fails to delete the folder. I have also tried using Aroma file manager in Dr. Ketan's multitool and the phone hung. I then tried terminal emulator using the delete command but it gives me an IO file error.
What am I missing? How do i get through it? Because a facbook-free phone is pissing me off!
