No more ad-blocking apps in the play store =/ - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Well, all i have to say is thankyfully xda exists, where these apps will continue to live on.

Good thing those of us here on XDA, most of us anyway, know other ways to block ads.
Who knows how the noobs will react when their favorite ad blocker can't be updated via the Play Store... They might just become Apple fans.

Yea thankfully rom toolbox pro has add blocking built in. Hopefully it doesn't get pulled for that one feature. But either way it wont affect xda peeps much.

And what IF they pull rom tool box pro?? I paid for it, we should have access to it another way IF it gets pulled! Just thinking out of the box...
Jellyverse 0.5

They won't pull ROM Toolbox Pro. It isn't only for ad blocking.

Hopefully the dev of adfree didn't do like he used to and put a phone home or date check on his last version. It used to say to update the app when I used an old apk. I've got the latest, I think, laying around here but I'm not rooted at the moment so it won't do me any good.

My app still updates host files from several sources. All good here.

Probably has something to do with complaints to Google about taking away from someone's bottom line. I agree, those things are a pain in the butt. Good thing we have awesome folks here at xda with drop boxes full of old apps! Love it, like a one stop shop for flashoholics!

I don't think it is fair. Some of the ads are so intrusive. I should not have to be clearing ads that get put in my notification bar or on my home screen. I should not have to reset my device to get our of an ad because it blocks me from being able to exit out. I understand ads are for revenue, but when they are so intrusive that I would rather not use my device for its purpose, it becomes a problem. I will always use an ad blocker and they can eat a d**k if they don't like it.

My main complaint is it's listing apps that I didn't purchase from the Market now. So it lists Amazon and Humble Bundle apps when they have updates, but then of course can't update them.
Google should give us the ability to edit the installed apps so we can remove the apps we no lo.ger use as well as the apps that are obsolete and no longer in development. Google are you listening?

I tried it but my system app folder only has 14 megs if space and the file is 30 megs. So, anyone know how to change the size of the folder?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Not that I know of, I don't think its possible. You'll have to delete some stuff to make room. Things like the wallpaper APK's if you don't use. The touchwiz social things, stock widgets etc. There is plenty you can remove that you probably never use.

i kind of have to agree. its pretty much the same as voice commands already except there is a voice that talks back. however, the talking voice only works on occassions for me on top of it FC and/or lagging. and i've tried every install method possible, it just doesnt seem to like my phone. plus i've noticed it drains the heck out of my battery.

It was wise marketing/defensive move by Samsung. Now a sales person can say if you only want an iPhone because of SIRI you can check out the galaxy s3 as it has more extensive voice commands over other Android phones.

what do they mean when they say its "native" i always thought that was just another word for preinstalled app for some reason,
It's written for android. The last app was a wrapper for an html5 website and wasn't actually an app coded for android.

Interestingly enough, I did not notice it updated and/or was any different... So either it is not that much of an improvement or maybe I just don't use enough of it's features to see it.
I been using this app a lot, it is way better than it was, but there is a lot they still can improve upon.

Not part of XDA, nothing to do with ROMs and nothing to do with the app. If you believe everything the internet has to offer that's on you. But please stick to topic, and if you don't like the app or jay-z, ignore these post. XDA isn't about personal feeling so this post isn't necessary
