[GUIDE] How to patch hosts file for blocking ads - Optimus One, P500, V General

Many users are asking me how to patch hosts file, so I make a guide for all of you
1st method:
Right-click this [HOSTS] (thanks to knzo) and click save-as (or save link as).
Save the file as hosts (with no extension).
Copy the hosts file to /system/etc/.
Check the above the link regularly to block new ads
2nd method:
Download Ad-free from Google Play Store
Patch hosts file using Adfree
Copy hosts file from /system/etc to your ROM
Note: You do not need Adfree application again
If this helps you, press the Thanks Button

there's no section like that

It's a shame. Developers work hard to make apps/games and they even put on the market for free. Many of them gain only with ads.

Funny how this is coming from the guy who is spamming the development section with themed roms (I don't want to be mean but it's true)
And also, he only posted that message one time. That is not called spamming. Just saying.

you know what dev sec is now meant for that

Good thing that some apps check if you are blocking ads and refuse to work so thieves like you cant use them.
Die in fire Rom spammer. :*
And for the record: keeping ads on IS DONATING TO DEV you s... sob.

Seriously, maybe he is a ROM spammer and has a bad image.
but AdFree Android is an application developed by someone else, and this tut is just to show how to do what that app does without it.
So "hampering the dev earnings growth" hate shouldnt be expressed here, but instead to the Adfree devs.
I personally use and adore Adfree, coz i cant afford to buy paid adfree versions and find ads very annoying..

You should read this or other reports before fighting...anyway this metod is a long known thing and those who want to block ads will do, those who don't won't

It's not being mean. In the long run he's helping people by making them actually read instead of posting dumb/obvious/already answered questions and getting flamed for it by some of the less kind members of the forum. Literally all he had to do was read the OP from which he downloaded the ROM. I would think you would want to read EVERYTHING before just flashing something on your phone.

How to disable system update?

Hey guys I recall I saw a list of bloatware in excel in one of the threads but I just couldn't find it.
So I would like to ask if anyone has the thread/or a copy of the file to share?
Lastly my question is how do I freeze the Samsung update with titaniumbackup?
I am on CF-root so would like to disable the annoying pop up while waiting for the working root to come along for the new update.
Thanks in advanced and have a good Sunday!

Dont get me wrong but if you wanna make a rom you've got to add unique things to it
there is already some roms with the same changelog so what's the point ??

before using someone's modification would be nice to ask the author permission.
I understand that your firmware is LegendK95 deodex ROM + ICS_XD mod...
What is the sense in that? or those who need to do it all can not install these modifications? (given that they are set in one file)
Another custom JB,, can't wait to test !

Sorry for that. I want to make all in one rom and some mod by me.
seems to be a few users complaining that the initial releases are similar........so what!
if your not happy - make your own rom
what do you want them to do in the initial releases? turn your phone into a microwave?
Have a little patience ffs.

Without that function, this Rom would be very good. Just a suggestion.
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by the dev or freely share it. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie allowing certain people to use it and not others). Should the dev decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to use.
In regards to permissions, same rules remain for this but if permission was already given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under severe circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
XDA Rule number 12.

[?] Discontinued app cracked.

Hi. I want to ask about JRE4A.
It is only app to get JRE working on android.
I have sucessfully cracked this app.
App is discontinued, and there is no way to buy it, only download some reuploaded trials.
Before i upload apk here, i want know if is it ok to upload it here on XDA.
If moderators will permit, i will upload .apk
So, can i upload it to XDA?
So i cannot upload cracked apps to xda. There is link to thread where you can find guide to google this files.

Report your own post and pose the question. Otherwise, it is unlikely a mod will ever see this.
Simple answer is no. No cracked apps at all. Link removed.

No. Xda does not allow or condone the use of apps. Did you not read the rules when you joined. Also replacing a link after a mod has removed it is an easy way to be banned.

I think what he meant is that you only removed the link to his thread with the app and that the other thread was left intact.
