Turn off ads in VANIR 4.4.4 - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

How in the world do I turn off ads?I thought I did it, but still getting them.
sent from my SPH-D710 VANIR 4.4.4

I don't think you can. How did you thought you did? This used to be a feature but I think it got dropped.

ROM ToolBox has an option under DNS to tturn off ads. It works. I believe that it might be available in the lite version.

So my niece is using to much data data and although I can easily just shut it off I'd rather get to the root of the problem. Are there any apps that allow me to see what they download that take a running tally of what access data and also maybe how much ?
She says it's just doing reading homework for school and APUSH notes... that doesn't use 3 gig in 2 weeks.
Any idea of something anyone has heard of or tried ? It's an Atrix HD and not rooted and I'd rather not root since I have no desire to mess with Motorola stuff . I know I'm in the GS3 area but this is where I hang out haha.
Thank you !

[Q] S-view calls on 4.4.2 GE roms

Hello everyone,
Just doing a sanity check to see if anyone else that uses the S-view case with there t-mobile galaxy s4. I have one however on the latest 4.4.2 Google edition roms (any of them) alarm silencing and snoozing works fine but inbound calls with the case closed don't show the options to accept or reject.
Just wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this issue.
Also tested with two different S4's
It is not an issue, it has never been on any Google edition ROMs

Thanks for the clarification.
Do you know if the s-view slide to answer function is strictly a GE ROM function? As in, if it's not a function in the GE stock ROM then there's no way to add that functionality? I guess I can't see why they would have left it out for the answer function but left the swipe option on for the alarm..??? Seems strange to me...

Ahhh 4.4.2 . No, because GooglePhone.apk is not open source. Big difference between 4.4.2 and ANY GE ROM.
You never loose don't you?

Yeah the op stated on 4.4.2 ge roms (any of them) so that's why I put that. I agree though I should have put any 4.4.2 ge roms.
Any Workarounds?
Curious if anyone has come to a temporary solution with this issue. It's been getting to me. Can flashing an older phone app solve it maybe? It did work on 4.3 that I remember... maybe even 4.4, but my memory is hazy on that. 4.4 went by so quickly.

[ROM] CM12-Light BETA

A port from a S3's CM12 ROM for the [SGH-T399] Samsung Galaxy Light .
DISCLAIMER READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS. This ROM was built for the T399, even though it was built on a rom that presumably worked on both models. People with Metro encounter FCs and Reboots when using High Accuracy GPS.
Android Version:5.0.2
With @Unjustified Dev's CM12 Build (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001602113) as a base (Thanks for your service!)
Also the Light in the name isn't because of it's size (yet(?))
Bugs:
- stock Cam still iffy, 3-rd party cam apps work. From personal use, Focal (by CM) works great, Cam Mx is good too.
- Prox/light sensor for telephony (off display when phone to ear) is iffy as well. From my use Gravity Screen has trouble using the light sensor when the flip cover option is not selected (6/10), when it is toggled the use is 8/10. Interestingly, when calling the screen turns off when close to ear flawlessly, sometimes it might not turn back on tho.
- Report if I left some out
--Streaming apps (Netflix, YT, Play Movies) has been reported to be not working. Some report that it's dependent on the .apk version. On the latest ver. of YT it works with no problems on various resolutions.
Oh and also.
I am not responsible to any damage to your device, PLEASE do a Backup of the device on TWRP.
Oh and as of right now I do not have the device in my possession. I GOT IT GUYZ
I'd like to thank you for supporting and testing this and helping to build support for this great device. :highfive:
Want a stock ROM as backup or for daily use? Here's my build Don't it's unstable.
I am holding off development until I get the device, sorry.
Read everything? Good, here's a link as your reward
ROM: V0.1 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=35178
(Vanila) V.02 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347772131 - CM stuff removed (for now), proximity sensor seems to be better
(Dirty) V0.2.2 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347773480 - build.prop battery tweaks, added cam permissions in the boot.img, let's see if that makes a difference.
(Dirty) V.0.2.3 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347774276 - libs migrations en mas (from stock, let's see where this rides takes us, HAVE A BACKUP READY PLZZZ)
MISC: GPS High Accuracy workaround for Metro (T399N) Read instructions here - THANK YOU @kireflow90 !
Also can I again thank @Unjustified Dev for building a solid CM build? He really did all the hard work.
Let me be the first to say mic seems to be working great while talking now ty. I'm Glad I'm you're little testing subject lol. Ty u again.
Ok so been playing around a bit and the YouTube app works again...mostly. My purchased items still aren't working. I'll upload a log for the camera in a bit

Gps still reboots phone when set to high accuracy, Netflix doesn't connect, Google play movies and TV app doesnt stream due to bandwith issues? I tried the proximity sensor when making a call and it seems to do better than before but like you said still glitchy.

Thanks, I'll get onto working more on this ROM when I get the device, since I broke a promise today I won't give a precise ETA as to when I might get the device, sorry guys. But thanks Kireflow90 for the info.

Yes do my FAM just gave to me I was just using to test flash ur ROM lol
As long as you have a spare to continue using to flash roms then I can't deny something free
Also I will be uploading two versions of the ROM soon, one with build.prop (and soon, among others) tweaks and one that I will keep as vanilla as possible.
I will also try my best to keep this method of release. It could take a day or two tho :/ so please be patient.
Downloading CM12-light+0.2 will give you update when I flash
Edit: only improvement I've found is the proximity sensor. It seems to be a huge improvement. Idk if I just got lucky but it didn't turn the screen on at all

Lol didn't even remember i uploaded the vanilla version. Anyway only way to find out if it's fixed is if someone else downloads it and has the same experience

When you upload, since you'll be putting both up, you should put vanilla in the name OR just code them with a V in the name. Like CM12-light+0.2V

Yh I was meaning to do that, I'll add it when i get to uploading the dirty build.

Nexus 5X Android 7 WIFI

Hello,
i had problems with my s5 mini with cyanogenmod 13 installed. I lost wifi connection in sleep. I was told that this was an android related problem. Is this problem still here in android 7? I am thinking about buying a nexus 5x and i don't want those problems again. I found out that this was a related problem to the wifi optimization option, which was removed.
Thanks,
MarcoBoy99
Never had that problem on a Nexus. I am on 7 for about a month now (including dev preview).

I don't recall ever having issues with it on my 5x, both on 6.0 and 7.0. It never seemed to have issues with downloads or anything with the screen off and with WiFi set on during sleep, so I never looked into it. Was your experience across multiple devices on 6.0 or just the S5 with CM? Just asking because I've noticed bugs and issues like that on just about every non-nexus device I've flashed non stock based ROMs to.

It is likely that it was a bug from the S5 Mini, the 5X doesn't have these WiFi issues.

Well, good question. There's plenty on there experiencing the same. But I don't have this either. Not sure how many of those people did the clean install. I know it is painful starting up from the scratch but to me it is always the only way how to see whether there was't sorta conflict from the previous version. I am not telling you go for it. All I am saying is that you might give it a go

Thanks for that. Figured since it was released through the beta program as an OTA there still might be early issues... "Slow and janky" clarified that. Doesn't seem there is anything too horrible that doesn't work.
In your opinion could this still be a daily driver? Of course that always depends on what your doing with your phone.

If you dont mind running into some bugs, then so far, it seems stable enough, but wont really know til after using it for a day.

so far the MyATT app crashes every open.
FiSwitch app, widget doesnt seem to work at all.
CustomNavigation bar app opens, but cannot be enabled due to Android version issue (also possible because Google seems to have gotten rid of system ui tuner altogether, or there is a new way you have to enable it that I havent found).
SolidExplorer gives a toast about API compatibility issue, but so far seems to work fine. I did have to delete and re-add cloud storage providers.
Off-hand, those are all I can think of, still have more to go through.
I installed factory images, did full wipe. In the past, when I have installed new OS with images, and deleted the -w (wipe user data flag) there were always issues, so I did clean install.
So far apps such as LightFlow, KWGT, CallFlash, things of that nature seem to be fine.
