Hello all,
who has successfully installed an ad blocker with the official ICS release?
I have tried different ones (Adfree etc.) and they do not work any more. They worked fine on 2.3
Please advise!
Thank you
You will need to edit your hosts file yourself if apps dont work or even try contacting the apps developer .
ICS has not been released for more than a few days Apps themes fixes all the rest come along later .

I am one of those that stuck with bult 69XX (the leaked rom) instead of the official 8105 build.
I am however using the buil.prop from the official version and still have some apps still not showing up in my market.
The most prominent being Google Earth.
I've tried the usual: clear kalvik-cache, wait 24 hours, reboot with no luck.
Can anyone that updated their streak through the official channels that has not rooted it confirm they can actually see google earth in the market?
I'd like to know if I'm chasing ghost so I can give up seeing as I actually do have google earth installed through a direct APK link.
If you CAN see it, please state what build, any customisations and if you're rooted ot not

I have taken it upon myself to port some good stuff over to our phone and thread. I hope to learn some things about apk modding and theming along with bringing some good mods that work on our phone to attention.These are originally done by other members and I take no credit beyond testing them and fixing any bugs needed for the port. I have made this thread to bring attention to the great mods/ports that will work on the Xperia S
There are some other threads on other forums for this (which is where I got my info), but I thought I would make a new thread on our forum to help people out and let them know it is working, and the way I installed it since there are several different methods.
original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
Here is how you install it.
download this if you have changed google search to something other than google-----> http://www.mediafire.com/?pbq5pou3in4mbsr
download this------->http://www.mediafire.com/?puszwfokw3d999u
flash the first one in CWM (only if you have changed the default search)
Reboot
flash the second in CWM.
Reboot
If there are any problems it could be root permissions, but it should work by default
Bugs
Sometimes the links are hard to click
Enjoy, I will update this as new versions come out.
Hi everyone. I'm new on android so this issue confuses my mind. If i have to download an older version of an application, how can i find an older version of it. For instance the newest version of "A" application is 2.2.1. But i want to do downgrade/download the older version for instance 2.1.0. How can i get it? From apk sites or such like that?
If so what is the widest and best apk sites for this to download ??
Thanks for your replies...
contact the app developer and ask for it is probably the easiest/quickest route

Thanks for your reply firstly. But i asked this question as a general knowledge. Before my new android phone, i was using the iOS and i know how to do it. (i knew the .ipa sources and methods) Also i did it sometimes. But in android i dont know any quality apk sources for instance for older versions of some base applications (that has receive lots of updates) whatsapp, instagram, facebook etc...
Many of the apk sites will be no more than Warez sites .
Google is always your best source of apks bearing in mind the above .
Possibly a search or an ask on XDA .
Old versions is not something normally asked for .

all the apps on play store have email contacts, so I would just email them direct

Its more reliable due to the md5 checksum.

Hello there.
First of all I am not a developer or modder like many of you here in XDA. Though I like to mess with my phone to make it work the way it should. I am posting this thread asking for help.
Currently I am trying to get the native firewall in MIUI 8 to block system apps from using WiFi, without success.
I am following the instructions posted by a developer in MIUI forum to modify Security app: link http://en.miui.com/thread-531515-1-1.html (original developer Nicolas72)
There are some minor differences between the code in the original thread and the ones I am working with (due to different versions of the apk), but in general it's the same method. However, bootloop are the only results I got.
Steps I followed:
Deodex app, decompile, make changes to the smali code, recompile and put the apk back to the phone (set permissions, delete corresponding odex file and reboot the phone. And bootloop.
My phone Kenzo is currently running stock MIUI 8.2.4.0 Global Stable, Official unlock.
Can anyone help me to get this done?
Thank you in advance.
Sorry for my broken English
Seem like there is no one using stock MIUI here.
Restrict wifi usage for system apps on MiUi 9 or above.
Were you able to find any solution or work around?
It is time to create a new thread to avoid the others from going fully out of control.
My kitchen is finally working fine again, the test firmwares so far function within my expections.
I don't really need much for my needs, meaning my personal firmware will be quite basic.
But I would like to also provide some nice firmware for those out there currently not considering to upgrade to the 7.2.x firmwares.
The basic idea is to have something ready to be flashed with TWRP to get a fully working and mostly already updated 7.1 with full root rights.
What shall go in in terms of stock or additional apps is up to you guys.
A filemanager? Name it...
Additional video player? Again, let me know which one is prefered.
Maybe something like HaLauncher to get easy access to the non TV apps?
Or shortcuts to launch them from the default launcher?
Ad blocker maybe?
Or some Magisk modules?
I think you got the basic idea!?
This type of thread is more suited in general/guides than a dev thread.. at least until custom rom links are available
Fair enough, I then first make one, then add what might be needed, then start again.
Well, then just remove or delete the topic until then I guess....
Can't seem to be able to do it myself, so please go ahead.
Will post again once the rom is done.
