Anyone know why Adao File Managers Adds Aren't getting Blocked through the Adfree App? It's Strange because All my other Apps that have Adds Are being Blocked?

Try updating the Hosts Files and then reboot your device!

Tried that just Won't Block it!!
You can try other File Manager's which don't show ads. Eg: Astro File Manager or Root Explorer

Yeah I actually have Root Explorer, but its just driving me crazy that I can't block the adds in this one app! Really just trying to figure out why this is the Only app that Adfree Wont Block...
You could try AdAway. If AdAway doesn't block it then try to determine what site the ad is being delivered from and you can blacklist that site with AdAway. You might be able to determine what site Adao is connecting to by looking through your logcat.
If that doesn't work you can use Droidwall to block Adao's internet access or just switch to another file manager.

I’m trying to delete a few unwanted apps as in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826491, but their permissions are read only. Does anyone know how to change a file’s permission with Astro?
Try using titanium backup.

Not exactly the answer I was look for to resolve the problem. However, I appreciate the response, but I don't want to download another app because I already have quite a few.
For astro you are looking for something called godmode. It appears to be a script add-on of some sort. I dont use astro though when dealing with permissions, I just use root manager. I have heard that es explorer does have an experimental feature for permission handling.
Edit; root explorer not manager ;/

Titanium backup is the answer. It will remove any app you want, even system apps.
I don't understand why you would not want to have TB, it is an essential app for all rooted phones to backup your apps. But if you don't want the app you can always uninstal it after you have finished using it...
Also it does not take up much space in the memory. You can use TB to move apps onto the SD card to free up more space internally as well

I'm really not sure what gingerblur did to disable adds but I really miss it. Is there any way to make an update zip to fix the 2.3.4 build that is out to make it ad free.

There is an app in the Android Market called adfree that does what you want.

GingerBlur used a modified HOSTS file to kill ads.
I'm attaching the hosts file in a zip.
Backup your original file and copy this one in its place.
Goes here.
/System/etc/
Don't forget to set the permission. Look at the original to get the proper permissions.
As usual, use at your own risk... yadda yadda.

Ya this is the best app for transferring any file format(even .apk).
Yeah, android considers them as protected files(?) So, you can't send them, so are apk's.

Hello,
I downloaded adaway and applied it, which replaced my host file and blocked ads. After updating, my root went away but the host file stayed the same. Now, all ads are blocked, whether adaway is on or off. I tried uninstalling adaway, removing everything from the host file and still same thing. Either adaway gives me an error or the ads are still disabled. Can someone please tell me what is inside the default host file and or upload it? Thanks

You're in the wrong forum. This is the International GS3 section.
I would imagine your default host file is empty but I don't know if T-Mobile is doing any DNS overriding or whatever.
My apologies. That my first time using the XDA app. Can a mod please move this thread? Thanks.

Okay, so I was visiting some illicit sites looking for hacking tools and what not to put on my Android phone to use to learn about network security. Unfortunately I ended up getting hijacked by a randsomware virus. To be specific, the PornDroid virus. I have been able to get my phone into safe mode, however I am not able to remove admin from the offending app in order to uninstall it! It has done something making it impossible to remove admin from it! When I attempt to deactivate the admin privileges I get an error message "operation is forbidden! System application can't be deleted." from the package installer.
What do I do at this point short of factory restore? I spent many hours fine tuning all of my settings and would really rather not have to do that again, lol.
Is your phone rooted. If yes then you can download system app remover from playstore as this app can remove system apps and remove your virus app too.But it need root access.
Hope it helps:thumbup:

Unfortunately, no, this particular software has been a PITA to get to root. None of the one-clicks work, and it has a non standard firmware that does not allow booting into download mode. If I could figure out what files the stupid thing needs to run, might there be some key file I could delete to disable it at least? I do have a file manager I can access in safe mode if so.
Tell me the name of that virus apk bro.

I can't. I looked for it folder by folder and there are no foreign apks. My assumption is that at the end of the install it may have deleted itself? This seems to be a very sophisticated version of this virus. There are tuts out there on how to get rid of it, but this variety seems to have really locked itself down.
The only thing that will get rid of it is formatting all the partitions and refreshing stock firmware. If it is as deep as you say then even a factory restore won't get rid of it.
Is that app still installed and appear on your device.if yes then tell me its name which it display

Try reading before posting.
I have one suggestion for you if you can root your device then root as after rooting you can only remove system apps or viruses and if you cant even tell name of that virus app then sorry I cant help you.

Once again try reading before posting. The OP already stated that he doesnt know and cant find the apk name. So there is no deleting the apk. It has most likley hidden itself into one of the system files.
Only option will be to format and reflash
Then sorry I cant help.
