I had adfree working on my Galaxy I7500 ( GAOSP ) in it worked just fine with my Weathereye app. Now that I have the Atrix with the Weathereye app, Adfree just don't remove the ads from it. Anyone else have an issue ?
Working fine for me. Connect your Atrix to the computer, run adb and try "su" (or do this in Terminal on your phone). Maybe you don't really have root access.
Don't have Terminal showing in the apps list. I rooted via aRoot if it matters. Titanium Backup works fine. To be perfectly honest, I have very little experience with adb. Refresh my memory to try su via adb. I feel like a noob ...
EDIT: Found ADB for Dummies. I do, in fact, have su access. Any chance you can download Weathereye and see if you get ads at the bottom ?? I wonder if its a difference in phones that's causing this ...
Just installed it. No ads here, brotha. I know what you're talking about though - I've seen them before.
Try running Cache Cleaner and/or restarting your phone. There could be DNS info still lurking in the background pulling the ads.
Put a check by Symlink and also you could try doing Revert and then Download and install Hosts again if that doesn't work. Just keep buggering with it and it should work. I have an AT&T Atrix but my buddy has a Bell one and we got his rooted and ran Adfree last night with success. Sometimes it just takes some tinkering.
P.S. Maybe uninstall it and reinstall it after doing the Adfree stuff too. Trying to throw all the tips I can think of. I know that ads freakin' SUCK!!
Thanks for the tips, I'll play some more and see what I get. I'll let you know !
I have AdFree and it works on all apps so far. Only have about 20 apps downloaded, though.

Well, I am at a loss. I uninstalled weathereye. Downloaded cachecleaner and android assistant. Reverted, then rebooted. Ran cachecleaner, re-downloaded hosts. Checked Symlink. Rebooted phone and re-installed Weathereye. Damned ads still appear. Grrrr !! I know this app will run without ads, I have done it before. I am convinced myself I am not insane, but that could change soon.
Well I have tried just about everything. No ads in Angry Birds, but they do persist in Weathereye. Oh well, guess I'll have to live with it. Maybe it'll sort itself out someday.
You could always replace the hosts file, its a bit more complex but it stops every ad, in the browser or anywhere else.

this is likely due to AdFree not having the updates to the ad sites. AdFree works by replacing your hosts file with a list of known ad sites that loop back to itself, so that you are never presented the ad. if one app is still showing ads, then AdFree needs to update their master list to add in that site

The thing is, is that I had no ads in this app when I was using AdFree with my Galaxy. That's partly I am a little frustrated and confused why its not working. Its not the end of the world if I can't get it removed, but it is annoying that these ads are links that sometimes I accidently hit.
i'm having the same exact problem, except my adfree doesn't block anything.
I found this thread: Block ads on your android phone. Haven't tried it yet, but I see no reason why it won't work.
No luck. I replaced the hosts file in /system/etc and no dice. I saw a hosts file in /etc/, should I be replacing that too ??
Anyone have any updated info on getting AdFree to work on the Atrix?
I rooted with Gladroot, rebooted the phone, cleared the cache yet in every app I'm seeing ads.
This is driving me nuts because I had no problems with this on my Milestone or Galaxy S. *sigh* Help!...
Really? I just got a Bell Atrix and put Adfree. Superuser requested access, I granted it, updated the .hosts and boom - no ads. Did this to a friend's Bell Atrix and another friend's AT&T Atrix and boom - no ads.
Just did it to my wife's Desire Z last night too because I put a new ROM on there... and no ads. Are you sure you guys are allowing Superuser? I don't know why the heck it works on every phone I do it to but not on phones for people here? Have you explored all the options in Adfree or used it on a wireless network?

It started with no ads (like for 15min), but now it's not working at all. I did the reboot, cleared the cache, and even installed Busybox and ads are everywhere. I tried to redownload, but adfree says I'm up to date.
This is driving me nuts because I never had a problem with this on other phones.
Also I did the opt out of ads in the market as well and that didn't work either:
http://phandroid.com/2011/04/16/google-letting-users-opt-out-of-ad-targeting-via-market/
Looks like a couple of people in the comments section of that page are having the same issue?...
I noticed the other day that in the /etc directory ( not the system/etc/ directory ) that there is a hosts file, a hosts.allow file and a hosts.deny file. I wonder if I copy everything that adfree put in the host file and put it into the host.deny file if that would fix it ...
Hi, I made this account just to post a reply to this thread. I have a GladRooted Bell Atrix and am using Adfree. I noticed it worked before then suddenly stopped...
What I now realized, it works when I am on Wifi!!! but not on the Bell network!! So now how do we get it to work when on the Bell Network???
I am thinking this has to do with the Bell's version of the Atrix software since this is not an issue for AT&T users or for other Bell customers on other phones.

Hey guys. I made a mistake, here is what happened. I had ROOTed my phone a while ago and downloaded Barnacle. It was working flawlessly. My phone started acting up so i had thought to exchange the phone for another one, so i unrooted it and removed all the rooted apps i had on it. I didnt exchange the phone because it isnt giving me random reboots and the battery isnt getting really really hot when what i think its charging but it really isnt. I decided to keep it obviously and i just rooted right now. I go to download Barnacle from the market site and i am not allowed to click on my device that i have listed because "this app isnt allowed by my carrier" or something along those lines. Is there a way i can still get this app??
Thanks in advanced
From market, search and install "Market Enabler". Use that to change your market region to Telstra (Australia). Now you can search in market for Barnacle and be able download/install it. After that, revert back to your original market region with market enabler.
Thank you VERY much sir. Worked perfect. So what else can i do with this Market Enabler app?
Glad that it worked
I have no idea what else you can do with it since this was the only reason I used that for myself. Basically if AT&T removes a particular program from their market, you can search for other providers' market with this app and install the program.

Just wanted to throw this out there. With a lot of apps made for rooted phones you can usually download the apk right from their respective websites onto your phone and use the built in file manager to install them. That's how I got Barnacle anyways.

Well, here's the thing. If it's not already listed as a compatible app for your phone than it won't link to the market regardless. It would work just as well to check the website probably once a month for updates, just as you would have to do with the market enabler. But if you use the website, you could get your hands on some beta versions ahead of time.

This isn't really in the wrong section (I had to think about it a sec).
I cannot get ad free to run correctly, and YES, I am running temp-root without issue.
It installs fine and has asked for (and received) SU permissions.
Downloads and installs the hosts file just fine.
I still have those annoying arsed ads all over the place. Yep tried rebooting, re-rooting, all of that.
Is it due to the proxy sprint uses, the ability to only temp-root, the fact that this hardware is so new and might not be supported by the program (which should really be transparent to the program).....or is it just gingerbread wants you to be spammed to death and has blocked adfree from running right ?!?!?
Input anyone ?

should be in q&a there is /was a thread about how to get this app running
hey guys.
i've always been a strong supporter of developers. I buy all the apps that I can and I think are worth it. I even have some that I've paid for that I no longer have installed. but some apps simply don't give you the option of paying for an ad-free version. so i've used adfree for over a year on my OG Evo 4G.
I have adfree now on my Evo 3D and even though it says the host files are up-to-date and the app has root access, i still have ads in almost all my apps!
is there something i'm doing wrong? or is adfree simply not working with GB? is there an alternative?
thanks.
I've never had luck with Adfree. It worked with admob ads but never in-game ads, even with an updated host file. I think you need to find out what host your app uses and manually add it in.

have you tried rebooting after installing the hosts? like a regular reboot. then check again.
i've never rebooted immediately after updating the hosts file...but eventually I end up rebooting and there is no difference. unless you're saying I need to reboot immediately or the file gets overwritten by android somehow.

two ideas come to mind on ways to determine the exact server the ad program is pulling the ad data from
1) i was watching logcat the other day while using rom manager. side note: i wasn't bored i was double checking my rom was showing up there and it does! i noticed in logcat some of the ad programs, like the one used by rom manager, output a lot of detail about their actions. you might be able to see which hosts the in application ad program is using to pull down the ads by watching logcat.
2) a little more technical of a method would be to run netstat on the phone. of course, i would do a fresh reboot and wait until everything updates and turn off a lot of the syncing to eliminate noise in netstat but it should show the ip address of the ad server connection!
you probably already know this but just to state it for anybody reading this now or later, once you have the ip address (hostname) of the ad server, you can add to the /etc/hosts file and point it to 127.0.0.1.
although, after typing that up, now i'm thinking if they hard code the ip address to the ad server in the application, the /etc/hosts file might not help ... then you might have to add a route to ifconfig and point that ip at the localhost ... but i might be getting off topic as i'm speculating at this point!
hope those two suggestions help. if you have a chance to research or implement, let us know!
****All credit goes to user yareally. This is his host file he posted in a different section I just reposted the link.***
Here is a great host file you can place manually.
Go to this link and at the top there is a d/l button. The file will be named hosts.
https://gist.github.com/543651c8d3bb7992f2be
Then using root explorer or a similar app mount system as r/w, and move the file to /system/etc/
Set the permissions as such:
Owner: read, write
Group:read
Other:read
Or just use terminal emulator and type:
su
chmod 644 /system/etc/hosts
Now reboot and your done!

Most ROMs on the Evo 4G had adblocking in them. I'm sure they also have that in the Evo 3D. Try flashing Synergy, I think that has ad blocking in it.

no... adfree is definitely working for me on Virtuous..
are you doing anything beyond downloading from market and updating hosts files?
im a long time user on my Evo 4G and it worked wonders. now on my Evo 3D the ads dont stop :-(
That is really really strange. Are you getting adds in ALL apps or is it just a couple. It's possible they are using some newer ad hosts that haven't been added to the common host files that can be found around. With that host file I linked to I never get any adds in apps and barley a one in the browser. I actually switched to it for the specific reason of adfree not working for me anymore.
Sorry I forgot to say if you have that file in the right place permissions set and you rebooted and still no luck I don't know what to tell ya sorry.

ads in most android apps are ok i think, the ads on many websites are just ridiculous! i'm always shocked when looking at websites on a computer that doesnt have adblock installed, on some sites this great plugin makes the site at least readable!

I have seen this error several times, then it fixes hours later. I often think the server(s) that AdAway is pinging to get the host files are down or busy or overloaded or just not stout enough for the traffic so we get these errors. Try again later. I do, and it always works out.

Some of the logic in here is funny... It is okay to block ads on the web - still taking money out of someone's pocket - but not as "cool" to block them on your phone because then a "dev" loses out. Please. Hypocrisy at it's finest. Someone on the web or a dev on a mobile device putting ads in the GUI are all open season and no one gets a pass any more than the other.

hmm dont know....for me it just worked (one button press)!
2 questions:
- do you have superuser installed?
- do other root apps work? (you can test root access with "ota root keeper")
If he is getting that error, he is properly rooted. He could not get that error without the app running and for the app to run, you need root.
It is not a root issue as I pointed out in the last page, I have seen this before numerous times, it is very much likely an error with the app getting access to the servers with the host files to download. Time has always fixed it for me. Saw it last night, today all worked fine.
Trying this now. So with this it isnt necessary to do the about:debug option with the browser setting thats posted below?

Is this a set n leave alone app or do you constantly need to go in and update the host files or sources or whatever?

At least you got it to install, I get the message telling me that it's incompatible with my device. However, the TWC TV app (which it is likely rebranded from) installs fine. Just doesn't do much good when I have Brighthouse.
Brightouse is claiming "A rooted device does not allow us to set the permissions the LiveTv app needs to function properly".
Is this not such a bunch of crap. If their coders were worth a gain of salt they should have no problem changing or modding any permissions their app requires.
I'm guessing they are scared that rooted devices are able to record anything on the desktop. Sadly there are apps to help non-rooted devices to record the desktop too. So what would be the point of even searching for the xbin folder, which again I'm guessing that they are doing.. If this in fact what they are doing, could we add an app to rename that folder when the BH app is launched and rename it back when it closes?

Sounds like a bunch of bull****. A bit pissed that it aint working because of the stupid rooted crap. Someone has to find a way to modify the installation of this app but who will????
Thanks guys for the responds. Like everyone is saying it is a bunch of BULL****, but hopefully someone will come up for a solution to break this. By the way I started thinking why does it matter if our phones are rooted to B.H.. We pay them for service to our TV/Internet not our phones. It is not of their business what we do with our phones and if we made a decision to root, they should not block this app. to us. We pay the same amount that the person that did not root and they get to use this App.
I tried a little but the program won't get far enough along to help because usb debugging was enabled. I was using eclipse to monitor the log file while I launched the app.
There's a somewhat interesting (too much iFruit for me) discussion here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27195196-iPhone-Android-tablet-users-get-Bright-House-TV-App-Joy- on the subject. Looks like the reason behind the ICS only is because of DRM. Is it possible, the same reasoning was applied to devices being rooted or not?
the TWC app got a fix for rooted users, any chance there will be a rooted-compatible apk for the brighthouse app?
Wahoo!!
Got it working...
File is attached below.
Uninstall original, if installed, then install this one.
Also make sure any reference to "test-keys" in build.prop are changed to "release-keys"

I got that on my touchpad when I was running a cm9 alpha, but it went away when I switched to the 6/11/12 nightly. Worked fine on that.
