Has anyone any /etc/hosts file updated recently?
Thank you in advance.

Install AdFree Android from the Market. It will download the HOSTS file for you and place it in the proper location. I am assuming your phone is rooted so I don't need to state the obvious disclaimers.
Yes, it is, thank you for the shortcut.

Hi there,
Coming from Wm to android I used to love the fact that I could download any file type to the phone's memory card.
Is there a way you can do this on android as all I keep getting is type not supported

Use a different browser mate
Thanks for that,
It was really that simple... lol..
If u get astro filemanager from the matket there is an option to allow the default browser to download any file type

Anything Free for unrooted phones ?
You probably can't do it for non-rooted phones.
bcz there's 2 ways i know how
1) add free
2) root explorer and manually edit hosts.
both require root.
Yup all the ones I know require rooting as well......... root the phone
Flash this file, rooted or not. Bingo!
EDIT: by that, I mean throw the attached ClockworkMOD Recovery update.zip on the phone.
A revert flashable would be good for people that do that and dont want to root.
Thanks. I couldn't remember the name of the app. Thanks!

are u rooted ? if yes dl absolute systems and u can block ads
I know when you delete an app using root explorer or something of the like it only deletes the apk and leaves some stuff behind...I've also read how to remove the leftovers using adb but don't always have time for that...does anyone know of an app that will scan through your phone and delete these files? Or an app that will list all the files associated with an apk?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Is it installed in the /system/apps directory? If it is it would still show as installed. And which gingerstreak version? 2.0 or 2.3?
It is the 2.3 gingerstreak...its the same no matter the rom im on

Have you tried manually buying though market.android.com first? At least then you'll be sure it's at least purchased
I will try the website but I never hit a purchase button...its wierd because it also shows amazon app of the days that I got and they are not even on my phone

Anyone have a fix for this or could post the apk from the gingerstreak rom
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
Use one of the file manager like astro and go into the ROM package. In the package you will fine the app and can reinstall it.

Hey guys,
This is my first post for xda.
I would like to ask a question, how can I disable the built in ad blocker (script I think) for the foxhound rom. I'm having difficulty accessig some websites because of this. To be more specific ad.fly
I'm using foxhound version 2.4 for the galaxy s3.
I've tried flashing the stock hosts that came with the rom.
Thanks and have a good day.

Not sure if it'll work but you can try using a third party ad blocker such as adaway and override the host file. You can white list ad.fly to resolve your issue.

Thanks for the help, but it still doesn't work. Every time I restart the device it still reverts the hosts file to its modded hosts and doesn't save the settings that I have made in adaway.

remove the modded hosts file from /etc/hosts and replace it by unmodified hosts file from any rom in which it is not modded

There is no folder existed in my etc folder. I think it's hidden because when i tried to make a new folder and tried to name it hosts. The file manager tells me that the folder already existed.
