Has anyone figured out a way to disable the advertisements that show on the bottom in most every app ?
So many are complaining about lag and I (for one) think it has to do with these stupid google advertisements.
Advanced task killer seems to stop them for a few minutes.....but I can't seem to grasp what is feeding them ?!?
Thats how some people make money... But if you must, there is an app called adfree android.... Must have root...

Please do not disable ads as a developer that keeps most of his apps free I really entirely on ads for any thing back.

Usually you can pick up the paid version of the app, which doesn't have ads.

Just install adfree and be done.

As a consumer, please don't play this bs pity game about your decision to make your app less useful by covering a portion of the screen with ads to make money off us.
Sent from my Vibrant using xda app
wrong section of the forums, this isn't "development"
but yes, AdFree is the thing that you're looking for.. most apps have a DONATE version which will remove the ad
Exactly, I just wanted to end the thread
You can afford a $500 phone, why not pay $ for an app you obviously like and find useful? Its especially insulting to ask for an easy way to screw the developers in a development forum... Try asking in general when you have questions.

Wrong thread.
Here is the classic argument, I believe consumers should have the right to privacy and there are apps out there with risky permissions and adwares that can read your contacts and sms while it is a simply an 'offline' game. I do buy many apps and donate sometimes. I use a phone because it's my personal devices, I customize it how I want. To the dev who blame AdFree for 'losing' money, too bad. Create a good program, charge for it and remove your adwares for the paid version. Or a non euphemistic way of putting it: maybe if you made a non-s***** app without those adwares and not running in the background slowing down my phone maybe I would consider paying or donating, its free market capitalism, not welfare.
Also there are even purchased apps that come with adwares and sometime there is no paid option. I do understand Google list the permission before you download the app and since it's free its my choice if I want to download it or not, fine, but it is not always transparent for the consumer, for example apps do not list the type of adwares installed. Until the Congress say it's illegal to use ads blocking I will continue to use it.

ads is everywhere, I got a headache when watching this ads.
Make sure to download the newest version if it via either Google play store or their website. They recently moved locations.
As for aware there exists an app that customizes that permissions an app installed on Android may have. You can use that to create a custom install for, say Angry birds, where it no longer allows it access to location or to the Internet which would defeat aware that tracts you or downloads new "harmful" features.
I cannot remember the name of the app offhand. If someone could help I would appreciate it.

Hi all,
I bought my neo v last week and it was brilliant for 4-5 days. But nowadays the phone response very slow. When I come out of any app the icons take time show up. Earlier it happened only when I came out of games like temple run. Now I've uninstalled it. Now even when I came out if messaging or camera, the icons take time to build.
Sometimes during a call incoming, it takes long time to show the contract details.
Should I do something to check if everything is fine with the phone. I really doubt it is the speed of a 1 ghz processor. Also the ram has only around 50 mb free even only music player is running.
I've installed avira, which I suspect could be the reason for this slowdown. Im unable to uninstall either.
Could someone please help me with these for a android new comer? Please let me know if u needed more details to help me out.
Sent from my MT11i using XDA
Avira could be the cause, is it installed from market?
Find it Play or the phone's manage application screen to uninstall.
If it is still that slow then try a master reset, anyway it is just 4-5 days' thing to lose.
use superchager v6

Yes I've now uninstalled needless talk and power managers. It's getting better. But still I've only around 75 mb ram free. Most of the used part is occupied by system services and the software installed by se lyk liveware manager and data monitor. Any suggestion to stop them from unless needed? Anything other than rooting the device?

If you want to stop the bloatwares, you really need to root. You can freeze them or uninstall them permanently, just make some back ups. Have you tried resetting it? I mean factory settings reset? You should try it. Dont install battery savers, task killers and antivirus. It may slow down your phone and eats up your battery. Its better to restart your phone daily to free ram and reset it. If you have done everything but it still becomes slow, contact your phone dealer. You just might have yourself a factory defect phone
like what other said, root your phone or better yet, use custom roms. those bloatware is eating your ram thats why your phone is sluggish. as pandemic said use v6 supercharger to handle the memory.
It is a primitive sort of advice but if u don't want to root your phone...then try auto memory manager and set a parameter to autokill background processes...the processes u don't want to be killed can be whitelisted.
And try some kind of startup manager to prevent unwanted apps from launching by their own...but even then some of them would initialize bcoz of other events...that's where auto memory manager comes to play.
But last advice...its really a very good idea to root your phone to gain full control...service centres really don't care if you are rooted or not unless you unlock the bootloader.
Edit: am not sure if startup managers require root or not...it would have been stated in the app description.

I checked with other person who s using the same mobile. His is comparatively better and games perform better than mine. I'll go for reset but can someone tell me how can I back up all my data. Should I download all the apps again if I reset? I'm really worried since I dont own a broadband but just downloading using mobile internet. Can we back up apps also?

Use MyBackup or ESfile explorer to backup your apps...there is a pile of apps in the play store.
Use Elixir2 or system panel lite for every detail of your phone.

In my effort of customizing my first Android, I got to the point where the default lockscreen (useful, but somewhat plain and simple) bored me. So I decided to find a new way to lock and unlock my phone and found that the application named Go Locker, was quite a nice option for this chore.
IMPORTANT: You need to have installed the "Go Launcher" app in order to have the "Go Locker". I recommend this launcher which makes tons of free sleek themes available for your phone. You cand search for this app at the Play Store.
Unfortunately, when you try to download Go Locker from the Play Store, a warning is displayed that this app is not compatible with your phone (I would like to see on the Play Store the explanation of why some apps aren´t compatible with our phones).
Fortunately, you can install the Go Locker.apk (attached) and it will work as charm. Just download the file, save it in your favorite phone´s memory, open the file through any file manager, and presto! Once installed, hundreds of "locker" themes will become available in Play Store or right directly from the "Go Store".
Have a nice day!

Well, there are options in the market for the preferences of everyone.
Personally, I´ve tested another lock app called Magic Locker, and while it offered nice looking themes and options, it was very laggy and it seemed to consume a lot of RAM from my phone.
In the other hand, Go Locker runs smoothly in my s5360, barely affecting my phone´s memory, and I like that this app offers a great amount of options to customize your lock screen.
and what we should say that now?

If the thread is useful for you, then a "thank you" will be enough.
Also, anyone can post tips and theme recommendations while using Go Locker, or maybe a new and better app that uses less resources from the Galaxy Y.
If anyone has a problem installing this app, people could also post their questions in this thread so we can help them.
Thats why we are here right?

Check this lib. Is a very simplified way to run shell commands, without using outputStreams or stuff like that.
BTW, a root app isn't "more advanced", is the same thing. So, if you know how to develop an app, you can develop a root app
Thanks a lot every one. I'm getting on it
Request to download My app "Virtual reboot" and provide your feedback.
Thank RoberGalarga. That was really helpful
Ok, so I wanted to make guide how to move apps, even user apps like facebook, viber, etc. to external memory (sd card). I never saw anyone using this, so I want to share you this method with you guys.
For doing this, you need to have :
Rooted Galaxy Ace (right, nothing else)
PROCEDURE :
1. Go to Play Store and download Titanium Backup
2. Allow Superuser to work with this app
3. When you get in Titanium Backup, press menu on your phone, and go to batch actions
4. When you get to batch actions, go to 4th section which is called move/integrate
5. Select Move user apps to the SD card (that will also include non-user apps like games, etc.) and press run
6. Select apps you wanna move or you can just select all and press RUN with green tick.
7. Wait for it to move apps and you're good to go
Hope this helped guys..
Thanks for sharing this mate!!!
used titanium so many times but never saw this...lol:laugh:
