So here is my problem.
When using my hotspot on my Win8 computer, it wont let me click through certain webpages like cashback websites like bigcrumbs and ebates and gets stuck on the redirection pages like "anrdoezrs.net" when tranfering me to a specific website. It won't fuly transfer me through to the store I want to gain cashback at.
I recently got the new computer with Win8 on it. Now that I have have tried my hotspot on multiple Win8 computers with it not working, I'm assuming it must be the problem. It ran perfectly with Win7 beforehand.
I am currently running [ROM]Phantom's Blazer Rom[Yo][8/2/12][v0.1.5][FF18]
I did notice on the tethering options of my phone that it did not list that it supported Win8. (Yet it does work for mostly all of the websites except the ones I'm speaking of).
Is there a way to fix my problem with the Rom version I'm running right now? (I know its a little outdated).
Do I need to update to a newer version of the Blazer rom? Or should I get a different rom?
(I need to have a rom that has the 4g hacked hotspot and it need to be able to be used with my PS3 for online gaming as well).
Thanks for listening
Do you have adblockers on your phone? This may be the problem.

Blazer rom has it built in. Delete system/etc/hosts file (filename is hosts) with a root browser. If you need it back, I posted an updated one here:

Root explorer is my personal choice as well as many others.
What TD meant, a root browser that will properly read the root directory. Some file browsers fail at that.

Root Explorer on the market is $3.99. Anything free available? Right below it there is a "ES File Explorer File Manager" which is free. Will that work?

Can't figure out where to go still.
I downloaded Rom Toolbox Light.
Then went to system, then to etc, THEN I get the option between "HOSTS" and the one under it is also "hosts".
They both have similar files in them, "text file, image file, music file, video file, zip file, APK file, script file"
Where do I go from her now? And what do I do?
Bump!!!

Seriously though, it's a text file. Just delete it or delete its contents.
Also, I believe using your phone as a hotspot without paying for it is violating your TOS. It's a good way to get kicked off the network.

hey guys ever since i flashed cm6 i lost the sprint voicemail app. I tried using google voice but for some reason it cannot authorize my phone because the provider i have is unauthorized to use automated vm system. I assume the provider is cm6, not sure on that one. I found this link to get the sprint app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731637. From the forum theres the download update and then the apk. I assume i need the apk zip file. What I need to know is if i have to extract it or copy to my sd card before i go into recovery and wipe the dalvik cache and then flash it. thx
If you are using the apk, there is no need to wipe and flash. Just put the apk on your SD card, use a file explorer like astro, and install it. This is the easiest way to do it, when I did it though, I just pulled the apk out of a stock rom. Works great.

If you use a file explorer to select it you should get an option to install it..
All of a sudden when I try to download files through 4shared they wont work because they are .bin files. Is bthere a way to make them work or what. It seems like they are all changing. It sucks.
Sounds like you have an app on your phone that' s conflicting.
What file manager are you using? What what are you downloading m

Astro. Some files will download fine, then some say they wont work with the phone. I dont get it. One file I was trying to download was root explorer. All of the links are .bin files. I didnt think it would be anything on the phone. Sometimes I will look for something, it will give me several download options and versions. some work some dont.
Figured out one thing. If I download the .apk file from 4shared on my laptop and transfer to my phone then install through Astro it works. If I try download through 4shared site on phone that is when some not all files say they are .bin . Whats that all bout?
I think if you go to settings in astro and hit download unsupported content or something like that they will work hope I helped

Thats not the problem. Astro works fine. Its when I select a download from the actual 4shared website through the phone some files say its not supported on this phone. But if I download the exact same file through my laptop and then install through astro the file installs as an apk. and works fine. I just want to know if anyone else is seeing this or what. Its just puzzling.
Hey all you have to do is when the .bin appears to save and name the file just type whatever.apk. so if your downloading let's say NFL.apk in it appears as .bin just type NFL.apk and download and save. Then goto astro and install.
Thanks to all. I will give it a shot.

Confirmed this is the correct way to do this. I was having this same issue when I was trying to reinstall Swype.
Nice, thanks for the tip. I too was having that problem, I dont use astro, just OI and root explorer. Renaming the .bin. to xxx.apk installs the app.
I think its been happening to everyone

Okay, after all this time I forgot about the cool little notification sound that the EVO comes with. CM7 doesn't have it so I would like to know where I can get it or just what file to take it from on a Sense Rom, thanks my friends.
You can download a sense rom, extract the apk/sound file, then place it in CM7; or if you have a sense rom, flash to it, use root explorer / es file explorer, then locate, copy it to the sd card, then paste it in the correct location.
Look in> /system/media then look in audio, notifications, or ui
I think jacoballen22 is asking if anyone knows the location of the sound file or perhaps even the file name. I could be wrong though....

Even after transferring everything to the right spot, it isn't an .ogg file and even when I change the extension it still will not show up.

And using a root file explorer corrupts it? Because the simple copy and past should work; as its not tied into sense as its only an mp3 file.

I see, the part that I do not understand is why are all the CM7 ringers and such .ogg files? and it will not recognize the notification maybe unless I used a trimmer.
I use mp3s for notifications on MIUI, even though MIUI uses ogg files. But MIUI has a different way of choosing ringtones & notifications, which makes it easier.
Where exactly are you moving the file? And are you rebooting afterwards? If the media scanner doesn't run then it may not notice the file.
Edit:
You can also use Zedge to set your notification tones. You may have to move it to sdcard/zedge/notifications to be able to choose it from the app. I'm sure that there are other apps that allow you to choose custom mp3s for notifications.

Thanks for the info cause I just checked and it's in there now. Just needed a reboot lol. Noob life. Well sorta.

Made this to have ad blocking and be able to watch Hulu on my gnex without having to revert from adfree every time I wanted to use Hulu. Just removed the lines that referenced Hulu.
IT IS ADVISED YOU MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE APPLYING.
Just rename "huluhost" to "hosts"
Backup original host file from /ect
Then move or copy new host to /ect
May need to delete cache/davlik

Should work on any device.. host file is basically the same stuff as windows.. can even use this file for your windows machine and block the ads there too..

Yea sorry. You have to rename it to hosts
Originally the OP said host
*OP has been updated*
Sorry about the typo. It should work once you rename it to hosts.
Does my Nexus have to be rooted? Aside from the ad's, I'm pretty happy with it the way it is. I can't find the /etc folder or a hosts file at all.

You need root.
@blue2107 the file is down.
FYI. Here is a the method I use, it will also keep your file up to date.
1) Use adfree to download latest hosts file, this will also backup your original
2) Copy the file to your sd card
3) Open the file with a text editor that supports "find and replace" function, I used Jota Text Editor
4) Replace "hulu" with something else, I use "nothulu"
5) Replace the ect/hosts file with the one you just edited
Let me know if you have any feedback or if you have any problems with this method.
Also I attached a copy of the file I am using.
Check out "AdAway"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adaway
It has a white list feature.
I have not used that feature myself, but the application is great.
Anyone have anyother workarounds to get VVM working? I have tried several methods and cant get any of them to provision. I am running CIUI which is a CM7 base with a MIUI theme. I tried installing the apk and then composing a message to [email protected]... it wont provision. I have also tried a couple different flashable zips iv found on here also with no luck. I have double checked the location of the apk and also made sure the permissions were correct.

If its cm7 u should just be able to flash gapps with vvm, right?
Yep, or add it to the zip before you flash it
will this work even if i dont have a tiback up for VVM data? my nandroid with my vvm is a clockwork nandroid and my Amon-ra wont restore it.
This fix worked for me, but you have to use Root Explorer (paid app)to get to a hidden folder. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547780 Good Luck!

You can use any file explorer with root access, such as astro file manager and es file explorer, both free, and es file explorer being my app of preference.

All i had to do was flash GAPPS modified with sprint VVM and BOOM as soon as i rebooted it provisioned... i composed a message to myself and it came right through.

In es file explorer go settings>home directory and change "/sdcard/" to "/" and you can access system folders.
