Hey, just a quick question. How can I get ad blocking back on this rom... tried different host files with no luck. Any help will be great. I'm running MIUI FascinateMTD 1.7.15 w/ Glitch 11.1

ad blocker seems to work for me what app is it not working in??
I use wireless tethering and theoretically the ad blocking should carry over into what I do on my PC but its not.

No it shouldn't, that's not how host files work. Host files is for local (i.e. that specific machine) lookup only, before it asks a remote DNS server. Your tethered computer will never go anywhere near your phone's host file.
If you want to block ads on the tethered computer, you could always block the ads in that computer's host file. Or use AdBlock in the browser. Or find some way to manually configure the phone's iptables install to drop those connections/reroute them (an overly complicated "solution").
Thanks! Ended up just doing a Firefox Add-on

Same here ad blocker acts like it works (installing new host) but I still have ads everywhere.
AdFree App... Hidden in the words
After you update your hosts file the app CLEARLY says..
Your Android device should now be AdFree, however you might need to reboot to clear your DNS cache.

Judging by the 15k 5 star reviews.. you might be missing something..

Actually, I did see that and then reboot. Still, no change. As far as what I was wanting to achieve, I am good to go now with the FireFox Add-On. Thanks anyways.

Exactly how is it not working? What makes you say that? More information might help us track down any issue you're having.
Those things won't block all ads, because it only blacklists certain domains. Any ads built directly into the app (i.e. that the app doesn't have to fetch from a remote server) won't be blocked. Ads from smaller ad networks might also not be blocked, as well as many ads on websites (often blacklisting based on the host file can't block the ad without also blocking legit content).

I'm running the same setup (MIUI MTD 1.7.15 w/ Glitch 11.1) and my wireless tether will connect, but not pass any data. What radio are you using?

The native hotspot doesn't work. I'm running Wireless Tether 3.0 beta... once installed you will need to go into the apps settings and change the profile from Auto to Fascinate.... For some reason there is still a unresolved issue with utilizing the AP over Ad-Hoc. So you have to stick with Ad-hoc.

Hi all,
is there an app or some funky cables that allow you to use the Tablet as an additional screen?

As others have mentioned, there are a handful of apps. In my experience they are all garbage though. Off the top of my head there is:
Air Display
Screen Slider
iDisplay
And each of them has some combination of the following issues:
500+ ms lag
Disables Aero/DirectX
Apps freeze when moved to tablet (expecially browsers)
Not compatible with 64 bit OSs
Can't set size or relative position of the tablet display
I have heard of good results from setting up VNC to stream a second monitor to an Android device, but I've yet to try it. If you find a good solution to setting up your Nexus as a second monitor, let us know. I'd love to use my Nexus and an extra touch monitor for my PC.

Personally I think you will struggle to find an app that will allow you to play games like this without noticeable lag or other problems.

I've always found TeamViewer hard to use for anything substantial due the lag and slow loading times of everything on my screen - of course that could just be my slow connection.

Splashtop works....kinda, have to drop the display from Sharp to Smooth to get rid of annoying green line across the screen.
Like eall so far, there is considerable lag. A cabled solution would be great for my needs for now.

Can you give step-by-step instructions on how to do that? I've tried creating another display but it doesn't work.
Hi guys. i installed a firewall on my phone, and i just wanted to ask as to what basic stuff i need to allow to use internet.
What i mean is that i have firefox on the phone, and if i block everything and only allow firefox, i cant browse internet. but if i turn off the firewall, i can browse normally.
So i was just wondering what else i need to allow to use firefox.
i hope you guys get what i am trying to ask here.
You could try opening ports 80 (default http) and 443 (default https), but isn't your question better directed to the maker of the firewall?
ok got it to work, instead of blacklisting, i did white listing, and it worked well.
advisable for anyone who wants security to give it a try
if you would firewall your pc, then why not your phone?

Which firewall application did you use? I tried Android Firewall, but it would crash all the time, and it would not store or display activity logs. I previously used Droidwall on my original Incredible running CM7 (Gingerbread) and it seemed to work very well with the white listing of applications.
I removed Android Firewall from the Dinc 4G today and have no idea if anything else out there will work on ICS or Jellybean

Oh, I am rooted, S-OFF and running CM10.1 thanks to the hard work and inspiration of the developers here. I will look into Avast, thank you.
I ran across this article today and thought I would share it. It's only applicable to touchwiz roms. No aosp. It just basically allows access to hidden system settings. Just more modding, especially for those stuck on ME7 and looking to change anything.

Download Google gesture search from the play store. Once downloaded open it up go into settings then uncheck and recheck settings. Go back out and write “Pen" and it show show up pen settings then open it up and enable the air view feature. Make sure you make it like readable like a big P E N

This module makes android apps believe Wifi is connected.
Handy in situations where there's a (non wifi) connection, but some app won't do its thing unless it's on wifi. (android running in virtual machine / emulator, 3g but no wifi around, usb 3g modem connection, usb reverse tethering ...)
This means you can for instance access wifi-only features while on 3g.
If you're used to iOS, it's the android equivalent of 3g Unrestrictor or My3G.
Tested on Android KitKat 4.4.2, play store and many others working over ppp !
Lollipop
For android 5.0+ try v1.9 (thanks pyler)
Nougat
Looks like there are issues with nougat and later. Dev help welcome, if someone gets it working please share so others can benefit. Create a PR on github if you have a patch.
Installation
Just be safe, backup your ROM.
Install Xposed Framework:
Get installer from repo.xposed.info
Open Xposed Installer->Framework->Install
Reboot
Install FakeWifiConnection.apk
Open Xposed Installer->Modules, tick FakeWifiConnection
Reboot
How to use
No app is faked by default.
Open FakeWifiConnection app to enable/disable hack (master switch) and select which apps to fake. Changes take effect immediately (background apps need a reboot).
Try just faking the app you're interested in first.
If that doesn't work then try faking everything, save and reboot:
Some apps use other apps/services internally, which might need faking as well. For example many games use Google Play Services. Usually you can find out by looking at the logs (see debugging) see what tasks get activated while the app is running.

Project's working for you ? Have something cool to report ? Post your story !
Useful feedback about an app that's not working is valuable. It could well be that this app needs a tweak that's not there yet, and once it's added not only this app will work but also all the other apps that rely on the same mechanism. If you find your favorite app doesn't work report it if it's not mentioned already. Describe what happens, how/what doesn't work. Give details about your setup, especially if it's something unusual (android version ...), how to replicate the problem etc.

Finally the app/module I've been searching for! ?
I did a quick test but unfortunately it doesn't work with the xfinity tv go app. It seems to make the app think it's corrupted and wants me to reinstall.
I think a whitelist would be a good addition to this module! ?
EDIT: False alarm..the xfinity app was actually corrupted. After reinstalling, this module faked it properly! Thanks!

If you know how to modify apks, you can decompile it and make the network connectivity check always return true. It's what I did and it works fine (and no, I will not share the apk for obvious reasons).
I tried it on the Triiing! app (free calling over Wi-Fi for Telenet ISP customers), but it still detects that it isn't connected to Wi-Fi.
I've been searching for months for this app, if only it'd work, but I have faith in the developers around here.

that's exactly what i meant. this should eliminate having to reboot everytime you want to enable/disable the mod, which can be a pain. there are also apps out there that would use higher quality streams on wifi vs. mobile data and not having a whitelist would certainly use more data if someone is on a limited data plan. hopefully you will consider this. thanks again!

Installing this module causes this module (http://repo.xposed.info/module/tw.fatminmin.xposed.networkspeedindicator) to break.
Oooo, I asked for something like this a month or so ago. Some apps need a wi-fi or mobile data connection, and don't work with Bluetooth via PdaNet+. Facebook Messenger (although Facebook works), Words with Friends don't work, and Gameloft games (and others, probably) that need that "additional file" to download don't work with BT/PdaNet, so these apps with my wi-fi tablet aren't available to me sometimes.
I'll give this a try and let you know how it works for me.
Alright, v1.3 is out with user interface to select apps :
Every app is faked by default. Open app to enable/disable hack and select which apps to fake. Changes take effect immediately (background apps might need a reboot).

Nice! Working well! Just one suggestion...maybe add a loading bar when the UI opens? I thought the app was frozen when it was loading my list of apps. No biggie though.
I think someone already mentioned this but it is not playing well with another xposed module Network Speed Indicator. The network speed indicator is no longer showing on the status bar when your module is enabled.
Thanks again!!
EDIT: Ok some more info on the 2nd part of my post...i disabled another module (Tinted Status Bar) and the network speed indicator is back. So I'm not sure what's breaking what lol.

It works fine on Samsung S4 4.3, thanks.
The only thing I noticed that does not work well is that when the wifi is completely turned off, some apps can see that the wifi is turned off and do not go forward. I solved the problem by leaving the wifi on and not connected (obviously) but this trick consumes more battery. Can you fix this?
Thank you and congratulations for the very useful app.

I didn't have any luck with HackConnectivity.apk and couldn't find a better way, so ended up writing this. (maybe HackConnectivity works with older android version ?).

Its such a very Great App !
Great idea, unfortunately it's not working for me. Maybe it only works on KitKat (I'm using JB 4.3)? Or maybe it's the app I'm trying to fake (UPC Horizon Phone) but it just keeps telling me I'm not connected to a WiFi network - even with WiFi switched on as someone suggested.
Great app though and good to see it's working for others.
Kind of works
I have been using the Network Spoofer app which has no trouble with the Play store, but has no way to automatically start in WiFi mode that I am aware of.
This app does exactly what I need it to do but it does have an issue with the Play store. Access to the store works, however when downloading it always says "waiting for network".
Very good module, let me ask, could be added an option to be in some specific wifi apps understood as if in 3g? I ask this because I use a wifi modem to share internet and wifi that wanted to follow the rules to put 3g, I think it would be a great addition to this module or to create another based on this
Thanks

Ive been waiting for well over 2 years for something like this
I was getting pretty close to doing some research on the finer points about how androids wifi works on the lowest layers, and trying to make my own app or now a module that would help me do what I want to make happen, I havent started that yet...
I have a few questions after playing around with the module.
Firstly, what i want to make happen on my droid is being able to use the hotspot connection full time (its the only ISP ive had for about 2 years now, and having that active, any method or driver that works idc, is absolutely necessary. Now, I want to use aps like Allcastto stream to my 360, or chromecast streaming from my phone, also apps like, or... or another decent one is Signal Tracker
these all refuse to even start up if wifi tether is on and wifi is off. Now i was able to use
WiFi Tether Router to work exactly like ive been trying to explain, it worked for about 2 days and now i cant figure out what I did to break that. I set the router settings to use HostApd as the main method. Id first make sure wifi itself was active ad not connected to anything, then i would enable wifitetherrouter, and the android wifi connection wold be uneffected and stay on working fine. While this is going the routher app works as descripbed... being a hotspot wth this app is no different from the built in wifiap.
my question is, does this xposed module do anything like this, or am i way off and still going to be searching for how to do thihs? I played around with it trying to use allcast and couldnt get it to do anything..
how hard would it be exactly to trick android into thinking the devices connected to your phone while its a hotspot are also able to be connected to over the regular wifi methods.. I know its possible because like i mentioned, i saw this happening using wifitetherrouther with my own eyes.. I had my laptop and xbox both on my phones hotspot, and actually both were downloading something as well.. then I startedallcast and TADA instead of complaining theres no wifi connection, it found my 360 onthe network in about half a second.. i was able to stream video in high def to my tv
no problem.
Just have a quick question - anybody using this module has seen any increase in battery life? Basic premise being that apps would think Wi-Fi is connected so would not wake up the phone radio directly
