[MOD][GUIDE] AdAway on Write Protected /system Partitions [RECOVERY]

If your /system partition is write protected like on the HTC One (M7) and you try to use an advertisement blocker like AdAway, you will encounter that changes to /system/etc/hosts are lost after reboot and ad blocking doesn't work. You have basically 3 methods to get around this:
A) Link /system/etc/hosts to a partition AdAway can write to
Install symlink_hosts_to_data.zip via your custom recovery (like CWM) to create a symbolic link from /system/etc/hosts to /data/data/hosts. Afterwards you can configure AdAway to use /data/data/hosts (as shown in attached screenshot) and it will work perfectly with updates and everything.
B) Flash the hosts file directly
Install adaway_hosts_2014-04-14.zip via recovery. Now you have the hosts file as AdAway created on April 14th 2014. Disadvantage: you would need to flash again for updates. Advantage: you don't need the AdAway app at all. Note: many custom ROMs include such a hosts file already in their distribution.
C) Make /system partition writable
Use this kernel extension or a custom ROM including it to have the /system partition writable all the time. AdAway will work out-of-the-box then.
If you like to restore original state after having flashed one of the recovery zips above, use the attached restore_original_hosts.zip

Mantelinho said:
The attached recovery flashable update.zip modifies your /system/etc/hosts file just like AdAway or Adblock Plus would. Useful if your /system partition is write protected like on the HTC One (and changes are lost after reboot).
You need
a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod on your device
the understanding that you will use this script at your own risk
You could also
make the /system partition writable via kernel patch and use the app
use a custom ROM which comes with an ad-blocking hosts file already
This uses the hosts list from AdAway as of June 17th 2013. All credits for this to AdAway and its contributors

Can you create a script which creates the symbolic link i.e. the approach recommended in AdAway help (S-ON/S-OFF)? That would allow the file to be updated by the app over time...

This makes sense if you want to keep using the app, thanks for the hint. I uploaded symlink_hosts_to_data.zip and updated the opening post. This will work also after having the other zip already applied.

Cheers, do I need all 3 zips or just the one dated today?

Either the one dated (and you're fine) OR the symlink one if wanting to use AdAway configured to write to /data/data/hosts. The third file is only for restoring original state.

Cheers, so should this block all ads then, I had the ad block apk. But it didn't block all annoying ads?

This should block all ads so far (at least it absolutely does for me). However the list of ad servers is actively maintained by hosts-file.net. If you should find an ad host not blocked you can post it there and it will find its way back to AdAway. To be always up-to-date I recommend using AdAway with the symlink method from OP.

Dunno why but it doesn't block ads on the goal.com app but for some reason no adblock app ever really did, strange!

Hey, just inquiring...
I've done the "flash host files directly" step, and playing Subway Surfers.
It would seem that ads are only blocked on that game when I have system set to RW...(I think...?...not 100% sure, but it would seem this way)
I was under the impression that it shouldn't matter because I'm flashing the host file directly?
Can anyone offer their thoughts please.

Yes, after flashing the hosts files directly no further steps should be necessary and ads be gone. Can you verify that ads also exist in other applications (or websites)? Maybe this is an issue with the app you are using, for example if it loads its apps from its own (unblocked) server.

Yeah, I think you're right about it perhaps being app related. I think maybe I need to monitor it a bit more closely and take random notes...
like sometimes I'm bombarded with advertisments any time I touch to advance or go back through menus...but just in that app...then I'll reboot...and sometimes it'll go a full day without ads...?
I also use a local news app which would normally advertise dating links, but those don't seem to appear...so it's definitely working.
All good though...thanks for answering that for me!
Much appreciated!!!

Thanks so much for this info Mantelinho, I had been looking for a solution. When using this 1st method, do I need to flash symlink_hosts_to_data.zip in recovery after every ROM flash? I.e., I'm dirty-flashing CyanogenMod nightlies every other day or so and I'm not sure if need to re-create the symlink after every flash.
edit: I have discovered I DO need to flash symlink_hosts_to_data.zip after every ROM flash.

Sorry to bump an old thread. Will this work on the new M8 variant of the One, or will it only work on the M7 variant?

Yea, but init.d support is needed in stock ROM so it can do its work every boot to make sure it sticks. Besides, nice to have busybox support while we hack up some base setups on the way to real Roms.

Are you just going to make a kernel?

Click to expand...

Yes, working on that. But the flash needs no kernel update (it modifies /init.rc to inject init.d support into stock or other roms missing init.d support).
It's up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65864177&postcount=8
For kernels, I will use the same basic model, inject the kernel and any necessary init.rc support into the existing boot.img, not require a complete boot.img load. I also dislike modifying start scripts in /system/etc to try to inject init.d support because /init.rc can do it much easier and more controllably.
You are welcome to look at the flash in the above post to see how the tools in the "tools" directory perform boot.img extraction, explosion, fixup, then repack if that's not familiar. Only diff with a kernel is to replace the zImage with the custom kernel in the repack command. Makes the flash much smaller since I don't have to carry the ramdisk just for a kernel update.

[MOD][SU.D SCRIPT] Use Decrypted device and have working mobile network

UPDATE: Thanks to @squid2's insight, there's a better method that should work for everyone. Just download the attached script, remove the .txt extension, and drop into your su.d folder with proper permissions. For more information, see here and here.
------------------------------
This is all thanks to @nkk71, btw. Right now the fix is very hacky but I'm sure ROM devs will find a more appropriate fix soon.
I'm not sure if I want to reveal the fix publicly in case HTC's spies are monitoring the thread, lol....probably better safe than sorry. But go visit nkk71's profile and buy him many beers for figuring this out. And also find some posts by him and click "Thanks."
WARNING: Dragons ahead! Anything you flash to your device is done at your own risk!
EDIT: Alright, I'll publish a flashable zip here based on the 1.53.617.5 US Unlocked Edition. I've been testing the mod/hack for a few days now and have seen no ill effects. It should work fine on ROMs using that base.
I have NO IDEA if it'll work on ROMs using an International/Europe base or on CDMA. If you really want to try it, make sure you make a backup first! You will need to "Format Data" in TWRP and flash the standard SuperSU zip to remove forced encryption (or do it manually, if you know how).
Let the bricking begin!
P.S. Thanks of course also go to @Chainfire for SuperSU and su.d!

So be it.
The method is still sound, and anybody who wishes to use it, I have neither any objections, just please test it.

Looking at the logic in the HTC RIL library, in Pythonic pseudocode, it goes something like this:
Code:
if property_get("ro.crypto.state") != "encrypted":
if property_get("persist.radio.current.cnv", default="-1") == "-1":
if htcril_db_property_get("current.cnv") != "-1":
htcril_db_property_set("current.cnv", "-1")
Other libraries then query the htcril DB via the library, and behave differently if the current.cnv property is set in the DB. Based off this, I would guess that doing the following would have a similar effect without needing to hack the library:
Code:
setprop persist.radio.current.cnv 0
I haven't tried this, but I'm curious if restoring the stock libhtcril_db.so and setting this property would work.

Permissions for su.d scripts are 0700. If you want to put the script there while in recovery and you're using systemless root, you can use @osm0sis SUmount zip to mount the su.img and then the TWRP File Manager to copy the script over and change perms. Flash the SUmount zip again to unmount su.img, and then reboot.

Brough, I am on full stock with Systemless root. I faced the same. But a couple days back I installed RootBrowser with BusyBox and I can change those. The annoying thing is that system gives me a warning that I ignore and need to get out of folder and in to see the permissions are changed. A bit slower way to my liking but I can live with like that till there's more comfortable way.

Same here! I don't know why this hasn't been mentioned sooner. I would advise anyone looking to use Viper4Android try another version first. The one that worked for me and generally has the most success is ViPER4Android_2.5.0.5_guitaredhero. Basically I flashified the zip, used SELINUXMODECHANGER to set the kernel to permissive, then replaced the audio_effect.conf file posted in another thread, installed viper's driver, reboot.

Same here! I don't know why this hasn't been mentioned sooner. I would advise anyone looking to use Viper4Android try another version first. The one that worked for me and generally has the most success is ViPER4Android_2.5.0.5_guitaredhero. Basically I flashified the zip, used SELINUXMODECHANGER to set the kernel to permissive, then replaced the audio_effect.conf file posted in another thread, installed viper's driver, reboot.

I'm trying to get viper working as well, using that file I flashed with flashify but still shows not processing even making sure selinux is set proper. Tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling to no avail.
Edit: what effect file are you referring to?

5. Copy audio_effects.conf download earlier to system/etc.(make sure to update permission to same as audio_effects.conf.bak)"

Does this work without root (obviously need root to initial flash it), such as on roms like jrkruse's noname rom?
