I finally installed an ICS rom and I realized that the Wired magazine app is not working properly with sign in button disabled that allows you to access your subscription. I had to return back to stock rom just for this app.
The app seems to be only compatible with Kindle Fire stock rom, but there are reports of successfully running it on CM9 roms on other devices. Would there be a way to fool this app telling that it's running on a compatible device?
So, do you know a solution for this or would a developer be willing to investigate this issue?
I'm currently running wired just fine on Reloaded ROM based off CM9. All I did is adb pull the app off my KFire before I wiped, then pushed it back after flashing; and installed like a normal app. Flawless.

I downloaded the apk from a thread on here somewhere. The issue I had was that you need to remove the adblocking hosts file to be able to sign in. If you leave the adblocking hosts file, the wired magazine app fails out with no internet connection and also the sign in link is not there.

I'm having the same issue. I don't suppose you remember which forum that apk was in, diggitydogg, do you? I did a google search and couldn't find anything.
I found the gq apk file in a thread here. I installed it and it recognized my previous purchases. I tried sign in and couldn't. I kept getting an error message. Then when my one magazine downloaded it tried to open it and got a fatal "force close " error. Now I can't get past the logo screen without getting the same error.
I'm surprised more people running cm7 haven't had these issues.

It works fine for me once I remove the ad-blocking hosts file. It would be great to find out what the specific entries are that kill the app. I love having the ad-blocking ability, but Wired is more important to me
BTW I'm running [3-6-2012] gedeROM v1.55...
UPDATE: I edited the hosts (system/etc/hosts) file and removed all entries that have "adobe" in them and it works fine now. There are 5 or 6 of them. I could add them back in until it breaks again and see which ones are necessary to remove to get this to work, but I have to get back to my "real" work
It's weird since my first note didn't have the problem of pop ups whenever I was browsing chrome but on my new Note 10.1 it happens a lot and getting a tad annoyed now, also had a xrated ad pop up luckily my nephews we're not around.
Is there a way to block ad pop ups on Chrome Android?? Via a add-on or some sort.
As I was typing this on Chrome an add on from "luvlinks" or some crap popped up
P.s. I have block add checked in the settings.

Have you tried adblock plus? It's not in the play store anymore - gotta install it from their website, but it works quite well for me on Chrome, no ads anywhere.
Also no root needed.

Not sure about stock browser, but I can tell you for sure that root isn't needed because I'm not rooted. It says so on their site too.
It has worked with some other browsers in my experience, but some of them are a hit and miss.

I had heard of it but couldn't find it on play store plus wasn't sure if it worked for chrome, I have downloaded it so I guess time will tell. Thanks.
Okay so that didn't work, I took a screen shot of one of the ones that popped up - tbh I only get pop ups on XDA website. Might have to use app but prefer using sites via chrome.

It works without root. You have to set up a proxy setting for each wireless network you connect to.
Is it possible to block a site on Chrome?? Its litterally one spam website which always pops up regardless of having adblocker installed....if theres a way to juat block that site then I can finally browse XDA in peace. I dont get why it just happens on the XDA website - think i need to stop being stubborn and just use the XDA App lol.

If you are rooted, use Adaway. I use it and don't get any pop ups or anything. Root is required, give it a try

Does anyone know of a way to get the native hotspot working on the Note 4 by adding DUN to the LTE APN's like on the Note 3?
The APN's aren't able to be edited on my Note 4, like I was able to on my Note 3.
Don't want to root my Note 4 yet, but need to get Hotspot back.

You could pay for the service that would make it work.

I remember before the phone was released, someone claimed to have it working. It was in some thread, I think, I the original development t area.
Another option, you could use WiFi Tether Router. I know it's expensive at around $3.50, actually a little less, but the developer does keep active in keeping it updated and does bug fixes. It's a little slower loading up than native hotspot, but I haven't had issues with the Note 2 once I figured out the settings it needed.
Galaxy tools worked perfect for me
I installed it twice cause it wasnt sticking at reboots on first install of native hotspot.
Now it works fine every time i reboot the only thing is everytime i turn it on i have to go to configure hotspot and advanced settings and put maximum connections to 8 cause it goes back to 1

Don't you have to be rooted to use the tools and WiFi teacher router? OP said he isn't rooted, yet.

Thanks a lot. Workeds perfectly.
We got the Native Hotspot hack working for the Sprint note 3 w/ root. It's a simple smali edit. Bet it would work with the note 4 as well. It was the same from note 2- Note 3
For those of us not willing to root right now, I have to say using package disabler to turn off CleanMaster, S-Voice and S-Finder have done wonders in the last 48 hours for making this phone just as responsive as my 2014 Moto X was. I've been close to biting the bullet and trading it in for almost anything else, and this may have changed my mind.

Try googling it and selecting the play store link..I was able to download it that way....
Verification is failing
Wow I can confirm. Worked fine before and now it doesn't work. Doesn't even let me active the pack disabled anymore. Smh.
What do I do about the apps I disabled?
Doesn't work, License server error before program starts.
Also very dangerous tool as it needs internet to work.
If you by misstake disable something that has to do with connectivity you will end up having to do a factory restore !!
If you by misstake installed this crap onto your device, you might notice that the de-install option is greyed out, don't panic.
Go into the security section and de-select the app under device administrators.
Now it can be de-installed.
Here's a much better and SAFER alternative:

Doesn't work and useless unless the internet dependency is removed.
Usually these kind of apps are being offered for free at XDA forums, but there's always somebody who's trying to
turn it into a buck, totally disregarding the people who d/l this and softbrick their phones...
Also the whole purpose and usefulness of the tool is defeated if you need internet access to d/l and use it.
Reason being the phone fills up with crap, the same second you connect it to the internet the first time.
You want to run a tool like this before, not giving the phone a chance to fill up with junk/updates.
Especially important is this in regards to OTA.
Disabled junk is still junk eating precious space on your mobile.

It only needs internet connection the first time by instaling procees, because the licence activation only works with internet. Once its activated it Work´s well
The server is very busy so it could mbe that you have to wait till all is fine again.
Im using it with my Galaxy S6 Stock not rooted 5.1.1 and i have disabled most of the system app
It´s easy to use and easy no enable again

I am not sure what you are saying about this app is correct! in Android please tell me which app do not require internet, and accessing internet is dangers then all apps in play store is dangerous. Debloater do not give any recombination for which packages to disable, if you disable system packages with Debloater the only option left is factory reset (I have to factory reset my Note 3 after using Debloater)
Pacakge Disabler is back
I found the paid version is back and working search for package disabler pro on the play store.
so any list of things we can disable to speed up this phone, touchwiz is really laggy after a few minutes of use

Package disabler has a disabler all bloatware option . it will remove 100+ apps . that you did not know existed on your device.
There is also coding to identify bloatwares. It will double your speed.

i haven't root my S6 edge and don't really want to yet. so i was looking for something like this.
yeah i debloated it with a few app i actually use, great thing about this app is that it shows you which app are "confirmed" safe to deblot. it actually debloted automatically like 140things from my system.
where can i get those codes i don't se it in any of the setting?
i was about to give up on touchwiz and this galaxy s6, since i got it touchwiz has been hell with the reloading of widget and icons, clear cache and data help but a few hours later the slowness would returned ( i already exchanged devices 4 times for other reason and all of them had the same problem), also phone would get hot, sometimes pretty darn hot.
This app has solve all problem (also a different launcher like nova solved it) but using touchwiz and this debloted app have giving me more battery life, super fast device, no more reloading, and it never heats up.
i for one would like to have a device from samsung that i would not have to deblot to get a lag free experience. i believe the only device i have never root from samsung was the note 3 which ran like a champ always.

About time someone thought about security. That program is being used a lot on the note 5 forum. I find it to be potentially a huge security issue. I initially downloaded it and installed. I later that about it. I just went ahead and factory reset. It has way too much access imo.

Yeah you can.
Side note: I noticed it says knox is bloat.. But when I disable it causes my phone to bug out. Anyone else have similar issues?
In the absence of root and Adaway, I searched and found a lot of references to DNS66. I tried it but it doesn't work. I don't need it for browsing as I use Opera, but I would like it for apps.
I have found that a few apps that I've used on my old Tab S now don't work on the S4 and wondered if anyone has found an ad blocker that works without root?

uBlock Origin for various browsers. Not sure about other apps though.
Doesn't the Samsung browser allow to add content blockers in the "extensions" in the settings? My s9 does and that's where you add the various ad blockers..adblock fast, adblock plus, disconnect, adguard several others..
Edit.. just realized you're asking about Opera.

Actually I'm asking about other apps like games. Opera has a built-in ad blocker that works perfectly and you don't need any third party apps.

There's been rough instructions on how to root in the Q&A section for a bit now, and I put together a little guide after using those instructions on9 9-12-18.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s4/how-to/guide-rooting-wifi-version-galaxy-tab-t3841763
After rooting, you can use magisk modules or adaway or anything else.
I also remember reading that without root it's possible to use secure folder to block all ads on samsung devices (i didn't look into it), there's also a bunch of non-root adblocking apps available that require you to run a notification all the time.

I'm going to wait to root until the systems have been streamlined. I'm also leery of breaking the warranty less than a week into it.
In the meantime, I've tried Blokada which seems to be working without too much affect on battery life etc.
Try Adguard. The free version works for any browser. The paid version also blocks ads in apps.

So dns666 actually worked for me, but took a few refreshes. Could take time to clear the cached DNS entries maybe?
dns66 works great. there is a little key icon on status bar though. to get rid of it, swipe the notification until the gear appears and go down to VPN and turn it off so the key won't show up. also, if DNS66 is not blocking ads you might need to update your hosts and add some if applicable. you need to update it regularly because sometimes one or two do not update on their own and it seems to throw the whole thing off.
