Adaway hosts file problem, rooted with CF-Auto-Root

Just received my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900T yesterday and it's gorgeous! I used CF-Auto-Root to get root in under 30 seconds as advertised! I installed F-Droid and then Adaway, which is my ad blocker of choice, but it has a problem writing the hosts file. I was wondering if this has something to do with not having access to a particular partition? It's not really a huge ordeal and I know the device is brand new but I thought I would throw this out there just in case anyone else had noticed the issue or has a solution. Thanks in advance.

Make sure Busybox is up to date. If you installed it, rebooted, and it still doesn't work, try enabling USB debugging, and try again. That worked for me in the past when I had issues with it not working right.

To update my own results. I couldn't get it to work normally. I had to change the host destination in settings to /data/data/hosts, and then let the app create a symlink. Now it works great.

[Q] What happens when you flash a GSM rom to a CDMA phone

Does it not boot, brick, or does service (obviously) just not work? I have a CDMA Xperia Play and as you guys probably know there is not a lot going for it in the ROM department. R800x.
I reeeeaaally wanted to use Aurora LE because I saw it being used for Nintendo DS emulation on youtube, but I bought the phone without knowing the lack of ROMs for this version of Play.
I'm only using it for wifi and gaming, so if service doesn't work that's fine. It isn't being used anyway. Anyone know about this? I apologize if it's a dumb question, I'm not used to flashing locked up phones (only tablets).
I'm expecting the answer to be "no, it won't even boot" but I just want to be sure.

I'm pretty sure it will boot, I don't know about the Wi-Fi working tho.

Thanks for the reply! I went ahead and flashed the rom I wanted originally, it booted and connected to wifi but the launcher just wasnt there (only the notification bar, wallpaper, and pull-down settings shortcut was accessible)
So I downloaded the GB LUPUS kernel and Xperia NXT (another rom that popped up on youtube being praised for its gaming power) and it works wonderfully. Everything is so fast and snappy.
My only complaint is that the "no signal" icon is always there, but to me it's worth it to have a nice GB rom.

Well obviously it WILL boot, but (as in the screenshot) you won't get any signal and data. Which means it must rely on WiFi.

That's fine for me, i had no intention of switching to Verizon
Strictly a wifi and gaming phone for me.

Isuues with Galaxy Tab 3

My another phone galaxy tab 3 is lagging very much. Dunno why but even after the restore factory, it continues lagging. Do you guys think rooting will help me out? Need some experts advice.

First of all, try to use Greenify in order to hibernate unwanted bloatware , or try to shut them off using 'app info' for each app (can be reached from system->app management (see attached pic)
Anyway, rooting your device will allow you to completely remove unwanted apps, and to flash custom roms which, most of the time, performs much better than official ones- but in a cost of potentially voiding your warranty...

Should do better than that! I run stock and all is fine. Quite smooth actually. I have removed bloatware now as well. I'm wondering if something is wrong with your tablet. I bought an asus with a quad core and the thing was slower than a turtle. I took it back and got my samsung t310.

Yes stock ROM is fine, with rooted tab and custom kernel runs really nice. The only thing about the rooting is that you loose OTA and with KK comming soon I hope developers will find a workaround !
...enjoy ur Tab 3

Xposed Framework for Stock KitKat ROM?

I just recently got this phone and started playing around with it.
I'm currently rooted on the stock ROM.
One of the first things I wanted to install is, in fact one of biggest reasons why I rooted the phone in the first place was to install Xposed Framework and customize it bit by bit on my own.
However, it seems that I can't actually install the framework? When I download the installer, I get this message in the Framework tab:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I suppose I could still flash the zip manually in the recovery but it sounds awfully risky considering the message.
I'm sorry if this was asked before but I searched the Xposed Framework threads and couldn't find anything about it. Google search came up with a few hits saying that I could simply by downloading the latest version but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I appreciate anyone willing to help.

So, after some extensive research, I finally got it to work.
Just download this modified installer, and choose automatic recovery installation.
Good luck!
By the way, if for some reason you can't boot up, the installation will leave a Xposed Disabler zip on your main storage. Flash it and you should be good to go.

No cell service suddenly in a phone call - anyone else have this problem ? s9 dual sm

Hi all,
i have bought a galaxy S9 dual sim about month ago.
Coming from a galaxy s7 rooted , that was "broken" but the reception was perfect.
I have rooted the galaxy s9 from the beginning for adaway and some nice other features.
Done the first root with Magisk but that gave problems with platinum backup so i removed root and used twrp with supersu.
But i already soft bricked it by installing the magisk version that was not modded for the S9 - i know stupid, haven't been reading everything.....
So after downloading the EU standard rom version and flashing it, everything worked again.
Then rooted with twrp and using super SU.
Now i got from time to time that suddenly the reception of the cell drops out, then in a few seconds its back and i can call again.
This afternoon it started to do it again, but then it got back, tried to call the person i was talking to.
Suddenly after a few times of dropping out the reception it suddenly rebooted itself.
This is why i thought it maybe could have been because of the rooting or maybe the wrong rom ?
As stupid as i was, i did not checked at first which rom version was installed from factory.
Someone else having these problems ?
Its also the most occurring at my home, people asking if im inside because of the bad audio.
Here are some screenshots of the phone info.
Hope someone has the solution because this is getting pretty annoying.
