Requires root... Install host files... Reboot

Yes, did it ... still have ads in apps.. like Ninjump
Don't feel bad, it doesn't work for me either. Seems odd that it does work for some people and not others.
Are you sure your rooted? Uninstall and try again

Very sure I am rooted ( Ti Backup works just fine and I can use su in terminal). I have even uninstalled adfree and reinstalled with no luck. Hell, I even tried replacing the hosts file manually with a list that's kicking around on the forums. Still nothing. Just for ****s and giggles, I am re-downloading it right now. Its been a few weeks, maybe it'll work
No dice. Symlink is unchecked. Cleaning the cache now and will try again.
edit: still no luck. To be honest, its only my weathereye app that I'd really like to see the ads disappear from. I'd like to tear apart the apk and find the source of the problem, but I have never attempted something like that !
Guys I badly need help with this!
For those that got this to work what did you use? (Which Root method, and anything special done inside the app? I do have Symlink unchecked)
Specifically any Bell Users, how did you guys get this working? HELP!...

I'm completely rooted, and have done this exactly like I have on my Milestone and SGS.
Is there a way to get this going manually, since this app doesn't appear to work on the (Bell) Atrix?... Thanks!
Didn't you already post this in another thread ??
It's weird, when I installed GreyBlur when I first got my phone, the adblocking built in to it worked and I never saw any ads anywhere (It does the same thing as adFree I believe, so it's comparable...) but then a little later I reverted to a backup for some reason, so no adblocking naturally. And when I installed GB3.5 (now I'm on 4.5) I haven't been able to block ads at all since, either with just GB or with AdFree.
Until yesterday ADFREE was blocking all ads. After the upgrade stopped. The ads are appearing as if nothing block then.
This occurs in both wifi and 3G (Tim - Brazil)
Any solution ?
Tks !!
Edit:
I managed to make it work:
- Uninstall, reboot and install again
- Clear data from applications that have ads
- Restart if necessary
work that way here.

Hi! I got recently problem with my Android Market. I'm not quite sure what's the problem, but I think because I removed the important system applications. You know google's apps. The problem is that when I want to download an app from the market, it just stands on beginning to download the app, it never goes further....
How should i fix this?
Please help me.
Regards Paul
Can you try to delete the market app from /system/app back it up to sd card
And then place it back and reboot
Not sure if it will work but worth a try

I can test, but I don't think it will work..
Go to settings - manage applications and scroll down to market (impt: only market app and not the other market related apps) and then uninstall updates. And then download the apps u want.

Market servers are down. Be patient . WIll be normal soon
yes, I have had issues as well. No "downloads" were showing...
downloaded one app and now they are back.
could have been a Market server issue as well, but was screwed up for 2 days.
btw: the uninstall updates trick does work in most cases when Market is acting up
is the server still down ?

But so i get it right, it's nothing wrong with my phone. It's wrong with the server on Android Market?
I had this problem from last thus till yesterday. Was so p'd off I uninstalled the markets app. I'd recently updated and after uninstall the app was still there but as the previous version, it's working fine now. So I think it's something to do with the updates.

If anyone has a way to temp modify the hosts file to strip ads from the evo3d or has a modified version of adfree that works with the perm temp root method.

I just tried it on my Evo 3D, I checked both the symlink options. I suppose it will stick until a reboot, not unlike the perm-temp root.
Hmm. I chose the symlink options but it's not working.

I think a big issue is you need to reboot to flush the dns. But then when you reboot, you lose root. I just posted the question in the q&a forum if there was anyway to flush the dns without rebooting. So far no replies.
I'll look into that, if I come up with something ill post it here. The ads are making my eyes bleed.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Fantastic idea. I would love this as well.
Maybe we can push the hosts file with temp root after reboot.
This would be awesome. Adfree is the root app I've been missing the most since getting my EVO 3D.
Install ad free, update files, reboot, reroot. Open app and it will be granted su permissions. After that, dont update or reboot and your fine. Been running it perfect for 5 days. Dont forget you have to partition your sd card. If you have your old rooted phone, put the sd card in it and use rom manager. It WILL WIPE YOUR CARD. Always back it up.

Thanks (can't thank anyone else today) but why do you need to partition your card?
Confirmed this works. I don't know what the sd partition had to do with hosts file, but it didn't work without it. Thanks randy.

partition for ad free
i believe, and anyone feel free to jump in on this, it stores the host files there for the ads on the sd card. if it recognizes the app is trying to access the host files, kind of like a little quarantine or filter, it stops it. With the updates (and ad free asks to report adds that leak through) it adds to those files in that partition. Just a guess.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm still getting adds. I did what u said but it's not working for me for some reason. I'm sure it's something I'm doing or not doing.
Edit: So I don't understand this but I tried this several times and it didn't work. So I uninstalled ad free and then reinstalled it and updated it and then without rebooting or re-rooting I went into astro and I now have no adds. Kinda weird but hey, it's working.

yea I have a feeling this is the same apk for both the mobile and tablet because it works better on my TB than my GT 10.1
even then, it is alot slower compared to the previous market so idk if this is worth it just yet
Damn...i broke my market. I uninstalled the new one...old one seemed to work until i try to install an app or load my apps. Then i get a com.Google.android.finsky force close. Ideas anyone?
Edit: a data wipe and restart fixed the issue.

yes data are not the same so have to clear it before installing the new one or after uninstalling it.
finsky is FC for me
I screwed up my market by installing then uninstalling this and wiping market data in settings and a reboot didn't fix the issue.
Market runs but when I click on the "My Apps" in the upper right I get a FC.
Can anyone send me the market vending files I need to push to my Tab's system/app folder to help me fix?
(and yes I know I am an idiot by not doing a Titanium Backup of Market before installing the new one).

In the skyrocket thread they were able to open ultracfg.apk we have that file, but I can't open it. I copied it out of system/app and tried to launch it, but it's just the installer. I'm going to NAND backup, then I'll erase the one in app and see if I can't reinstall and get it to show in the app drawer

Removing that file was nothing but a pain. TiBu didn't want to reinstall it, erasing out of apps I couldn't reinstall from the copy I had. We might just need a person with access to a skyrocket with ics to pull it done supposedly theirs shows up in app drawer

TetheringManager.apk was still in my /system/app. I removed it and checked Titanium again. Tethering Provisioning was missing. When I tried to turn on Hot-Spot, Settings crashed. Restoring TetheringManager.apk, I am greeted with a message box to call AT&T to enable.

This is to Remove adds in many apps like angry birds and even blapk market. Tested working. Didn't see adaway in android market so here it is..

I don't suggest lucky patcher. There are several issues caused by lucky patcher. The main one being your device showing out a of storage space when trying to install apps.

I was using AdAway with no luck blocking ads.
So I flashed the mother of all ad-blocking found here:

Now that, worked great except some sites I do visit are blocked but all it takes is a simple edit to the hosts file to remove the block on said sites. :victory:

The problem is that adaway or Adfree dont seem to keep their info on reboot so the ad re-appears... a pain
no on any of my 6 set ups. adaway always keeps its settings. it actually writes over the host file. maybe you're doing a symlink instead into a temp directory?

How do I add Google ads to safelist on AdAway? I mean I don't wanna block Google adds that show up when doing a Google search.
I use Adaway at my rooted Note 3.
The problem is that Facebook and Messenger doesn't work.
If I replace the new Hosts with the original and freeze adaway, the two apps work.
So, is it possible to use adaway but remove some hosts, an Facebook, Messenger still work?
Please, if somebody knows the hosts to remove….
Help.
