Ad-free android doesn't work after JB update?

I installed the new root66 JB and it seems that ad-free android doesn't actually block ads anymore. It says my host file is up to date, and and I restarted but I still get ads in places that I didn't get before the update. Xda, Pandora, ect. Is anyone else having this problem?

You have to check the symlink if needed button and run it and it should work

I just had to go and find Ad Free again and install it. Cannot find it on google anymore, had to use dogpile. This app just disappeared from my tablet, I think google playstore had something to do with that. Now that it is reinstalled and working, is there anyway to protect this app from google trying to purge it again? Like with Titanium Backup or something? Thanks.

Google didn't purge it. Well they did, but only from their store.

Why not use what everyone else uses to remove ads, here is the link for "Adaway.apk" and it works just as well on JB or
any other versions of roms.
Here is the direct download link: http://www48.zippyshare.com/v/60362249/file.html
The play store no longer supports any add-blocking apps that's why you will not find it there.
Good Luck!

Gmail will not update

I'm running wicked v8 and for some reason gmail will not update thru play store. I tried side loading it as well and it's a no go. I cleared play store cache and deleted old version. Any more suggestions?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

If you delete the current one through Titanium Backup, then install it again through the Play Store it should work. That's the standard procedure, and I actually did just that an hour or two ago so I could get the new Gmail 4.3.

Mine updated without any issues. Were you still using the Gapps system version?

Titanium is your ticket.

Did light flow start messing up for you after updating? I read that it was having issues, but the dev for it put out an update to it, but we can't update light flow since it's baked in...

Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the App? Cleared app data? Multiple things you can do.

Yeah. Ive tried both! Im ablut to factory reset
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Seems like a Facebook issue.... They've been pushing updates thru network and not the store.... Which is against TOS, so it could most likely be on the apps end.

It is a Facebook issue that many others, including myself, have experienced as well.

Play store keeps crashing...

For some reason my play store keeps crashing, I've tried rebooting my phone, even clearing the data and ram from the play store... I don't get it..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Rooted? Rom? Kernel? Mods?
Have you cleared data and uninstalled updates? Then reboot and give it time to reupdate?
Try to Remove google account and re-enter info.
If no go then Reflash your rom
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Completely stock, nothing custom. I've tried clearing it from the apps. I'll try to uninstall updates.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Tried deleting the play updates, still same issue.. this is so frustrating.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

You may need to do the same on some other Google apps such as Google services framework and maybe a couple others that work along side the play store app. Can't remember them all right off hand.
When you say you're completely stock does this also mean you are not rooted? If you are rooted you can use titanium backup to backup all Google apps and data. Then clear data one by one till you find the culprit and then restore data for everything else.
Did you try deleting your account?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Completely stock, as I'm not rooted or anything. I tried everything, then I factory reset and its fixed.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Glad you got it fixed. I figured a factory reset would do it but was trying to help avoid it. But sometimes it's the only way....
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Yeah I was going to avoid it. It was about time for a fresh start anyways.

Do you have viper4android installed? Version 2.3.1.1 introduced a bug that makes it crash. Drove me crazy trying to figure that out. Version 2.3.0.1 works. Not sure if this is your issue but FYI either way.

I sure did man thanks big time I reverted back to an old back up before I installed Viper and it's now working
