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.
my wife's been mentioning that she's got an app saying she's got a missed call. it's not a system notification. it's got a orange/white star on the notification pulldown. when you click on it nothing happens.
today that same star (and i'm assuming same app) said "See who's spying on your profile!"...when I clicked on it, it opened a spam site (it was blocked by my ad blocker software).
I can't pinpoint any specific application that is obviously doing it.
anyone else heard of this or experience this? we both have the same rom and settings, difference are in our individual apps that we've downloaded.
please give me some help on how to figure this out! thanks.
I've not had this happen to me, but i've read some other posts about it.
It's something called "AirPush" i think.
You can download "AirPush Detector" off the market for free, and it can basicly tell you which apps are doing it (it can't remove it, but simply tell you what is doing it), and then you can remove them by yourself if you want to.
awesome thanks. that did it.
it was Root App Remover...which ironically I installed for her
all gone now.
thanks again!
Kind of stupid question but...
Is there anything i have to do when using the same gmail address for my Prime and my RAZR Maxx? Purchased apps will show up, i believe, and i could just choose what to install on either device? So lets say i d.l an app on my RAZR for the RAZR, it will show up in the market on my Prime. Just ignore it? Is there anything i should know about multiple devices using the same gmail account? Thanks in advance!!!
Lee
You don't have to do anything special. You can have the apps backup to your gmail and then load up to any device after that but you don't have to. Apps you purchase on say the Prime with show up in the "My Apps" section on your RAZR but you don't have to download them. Aslo, I googled this for some reason first link was to this post ofn Android Forums: "I know I can have the same gmail account sync to more than one phone but can 2 phones be registered to the same gmail account? Wouldn't that cause issues with the Market? Would it cause issues with other things as well? Thanks." Made me laugh cause he said the same thing twice...
lol...cool. just wanted to make sure before a brick something I didn't even think of two phones. I plan to use my old droid X for Wifi and such.... thanks for the reply man.
You can't brick anything without being an exceedingly stupid power user. So, if you haven't even rooted, you should be as safe as can be. Unlike me...

hi , Motorola has a daydream app called droid dream.. I just got rid of my droid maxx and I loved that app (more of a theme)here is a link to it
http://www.behance.net/gallery/Droid-Dream/10287859
My question is... is it possible to get this on the HTc ONE MAX? and could someone do it?
DROID Dream is a screensaver like experience that is currently available on the 2013 DROID Ultra and Maxx smartphones by Motorola. This feature allows users to see time, date, and recent notifications while the phone is docked or being charged. The information block simply shifts up and down slowly over any type of wallpaper. This project was done as part of an internship with Motorola Mobility in Chicago
a quick google search shows only malware named droid dream!!! oops!
yes I know , that's why I came here to find out if anyone can do it.

okay I will but it sounds redondent
I used an app called "APK Extractor" to grab the Droid Dream APK off of my Droid Maxx XT1080. I have installed it on my Droid Turbo XT1254 but not sure if it works as expected... yet. Hopefully it will! Use attached at your own risk.
UPDATE --- It works but it doesn't display the notifications like it did on the XT1080. Not sure if I am missing another piece of the puzzle. Anybody know?
The Max has a "dream" setting under the Display tab of the Settings. It doesn't show your messages but you can see the date and time. CM has a built-in feature that allows you to get a Quick Glance by hovering over the infrared sensor. You might want to try out CM and see if that's something that'll work for ya!
i know longer have a htc one max anymore but to keep on the subject, i installed that apk on my droid turbo and it works like you said, no notifications, so i looked a little further and dont really know if this helps but, if you into setting/security and lock screen/ there is something called notification access, and that seems to be the program giving permissions for notifications to other apps, my lucid dreams was in there and had permissions but i dont know how to add an app to it.
