AdAway - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Anyone have any luck with AdAway 2.7? Can't seem to get it to find host files.

Works perfectly fine here. Sometimes it will get stuck on "Applying hosts file..." - if it does, just close it and retry downloading the hosts. It usually works after 3-4 tries, but sometimes on the first one. Probably because SELinux is screwing it up.

Where can I find an Android Settings.apk?

Where can i find an Android Settings.pak that will work with AFTV or does it have it built in?
Do I need root to sideload it?
Yes, you have to sideload. See attached apk.

Thank you for the file.
yes, I know it has to be sideloaded but does the AFTV need to be rooted to use it? Do i need any additonal module to use it?
Not that I am aware of needing any extra module to load the Settngs apk.
As far as root goes, I do not know. I would suppose that some featues of Settings will be disabled and not work if root is unavailable. I installed mine after root, so I have no first hand experience. Do know that even with root, some features will crash when you try to go into them and crash your app as well. But I have not see any harmful impact due to this.
What works and what does not work with the setting apk described here?
What features crash?
Bluetooth
I used the bluetooth to scan for devices and it picked up my Bose Soundock. Very simple. From what I read it won't work with devices which need a PIN
I cannot seem to install this. I have root using adbFire and granted SU, and have unknown sources enabled, but when I use adbFire to install it takes a really long time and never finish.
You can try to install using adb manually. I have installed this a few times and never had issues.
Are you connected to FTV correctly over the same subnet? Thats the first thing I would check. It is a small install and should not taken more than 5 to 10 seconds to install.

It must be the way you uploaded the file here or the way i downloaded it.
I searched and found another post with the file uploaded via a different service and downloaded it and it installed fine.
I found it here for reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714494
Thanks for all of your help!
Is it possible to enable installation from unknown sources, so that you could install APKs from dropbox for example instead of sideloading them?

Thank you. Finally got my bluetooth keyboard working with the Fire TV Stick.

[Q] Netflix on Cm12 based Roms???

I have tried several AOSP roms and have not gotten Netflix to work on any of them. I have tried liquidsmooth and PacRom but I keep getting Error (-9). Does anyone know of a fix for this? Please help..Thanks.

Using SELinuxModeChanger app, you can set to permissive and give it a go, it sometimes work.
Another method is to delete a lib file within
/system/vendor/lib
Liboemcrypto.so, you can rename or simply delete, then reboot the device.

I personally didn't have luck with the permissive change and couldn't find the liboemcrypto.so file you spoke of. Is that specific to the Galaxy Note 4?
No sir, most ROMs don't have the lib, and what ROM are you using ?
Using liquid smooth on a moto xt926. I've noticed this problem on various cm12 ROMs I've tried. They had Netflix running for a while then it kind of stopped for recently then I think the last one I tried that I worked on was bliss pop 3.2. Jump over to liquid smooth because. Was pretty laggy and causing me a little pain. Back to a loading screen. Never comes up. I will say I thought it was a host file or ad block problem because I could get it going on WiFi. Just not on cellular data.
Think pulling and using the apk from a nexus device would change anything?
Beats me, I think that it probably is not an issue with the apk itself.
My best guess is that it is ROM related. Didn't cm ROMs have some DRM related issues a year or so ago? Wouldn't surprise me if it's something along those lines.
BTW, forgot to mention that you can't even get to netflix.com and browser. just more thoughts as to why I don't think it's actual program related it something in the ROM.
It is ROM/Kernel related for the Note 4 before I think @Mod57 fixed it but all it was is to change a build.prop line. Try and see if this works for you as well.
persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable=false
If the value is already there and it says True, change it to false.
Did this on a previous build (cm12 5-8-2015 I believe), seems to work although more testing is needed to determine consistency. Failed first time worked second.
Sure hope that's it....!
Has anyone had better luck finding a solution for this? I came from DU's latest and now on CM12.1 6/25 nightly, everything is working great except for Netflix. I was never able to get it to work in DU so I won't be terribly heartbroken if I can't get it fixed, but I do not have Lyboemcrypto.so file or that specific persist line in my build.prop. Any other suggestions? I was getting a -504 error when attempting to install a couple apps, turning flight mode on/off took care of that, so I tried that as well as wifi on and off both for Netflix but cannot get it to initialize, all I get is the constant red spinning circle of the first screen. Thanks
Workaround
Install the module xposed cm10.1 Netflix workaround under xposed framework. Works perfectly on t0lte.
Edit: working on cm12.1

Xposed won't update or uninstall with FlashFire

hello all, I appreciate any help you can give me. I also apologize if this has already been answered, as I couldn't find anything that worked for me.
I've recently been logged out of Snapchat, and when I tried to log back in, I was met with an error, which seems to be a pretty common issue with Xposed users.
so since I have the Verizon g4, I cant flash the uninstall zip with a custom recovery. FlashFire allows me to choose the zip and it appears to shut down and then turn back on ~45 seconds later, but the Xposed framework is still installed. I read another thread where someone mentioned that updating to v79 of Xposed and then uninstalling worked, but it doesn't work for me, as v74 is still installed.
I'm lost on options at the moment, besides a factory reset

[SOLVED] Adaway not blocking ads? (rooted)

Upgrading to OOS 4.7.4 has fixed this for me.
Hi guys,
Just got this phone the other day and it seems that I can't get adaway to actually block any ads? I got magisk su, the app works (I can grant it root, it updates the hosts files successfully, I've rebooted, etc) but none of the ads in chrome actually get blocked, for example.
I've done this for every other phone I've previously had without issue, so I was wondering if you have any thoughts around what might be happening?
Thanks.

Did you tried togling systemless hosts switch in Magisk Manager?
It will be usefull if you inform exact version of OOS, Magisk and Adaway

Have you enabled systemless hosts in Magisk settings?

I have tried with it both enabled and disabled (and with reboots in between). The box in Adaway gets checked automatically as well.
In terms of versions:
OOS: 4.7.2
Magisk: 14.0
Adaway: 3.2

try this version of adaway.for me this works.

You probably use FreedomOS rom right? More people complained about it from what I've read there

No, I'm on Oxygen 4.7.2.
Not sure what to tell you. I have stock OOS, rooted with Magisk 14.0, using AdAway 3.2.
Attached are my settings. Check and see?
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Oddly enough, upgrading to OOS 4.7.4 has fixed this for me. Will update the initial post in case anyone else runs into the same problem.

Magisk tethering

I can't seem to find that module anymore.
Does anyone have a link, or a copy?
Thanks

It likely was removed from the repository due to not being updated. The thread in the Magisk forum, if said thread exists, should still exist however.
This is the one I use. I saved the file to my PC for this reason.

Here it is as well post #76
Tried both. They appear to install but do not show up in the modules list.
Just to update, the adb shell command and the magisk props module got it working.

I just stumbled on this thread, took a look at the module forum. The last page has a link to some other module that supposedly does the same thing, and it works with newer versions of Magisk. I didn't look at it or try it, though.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-tethering-enabler-testers-t3476625/page15
I had it at one time... Silly me didn't back up my phone and I reset it.
No worries though. I got it working again.
