AD Blocking, Hosts file - AT&T HTC One (M8)

Got tired of all the ads so grabbed our custom hosts file and made a flashable zip.
Hosts.zip
Flash in recovery and most ads are blocked.
Enjoy

How recently was this one updated? I flashed one from back in June 2013 in another thread about the M7 not having S-Off. It's working fine so far, but I know that some newer ads will be slipping through.

Lol, just making sure. I spent 2-3 hours trying to get adaway and adfree to work to no avail before I stumbled onto this, saved me so much trouble. Good news! Thanks for the quick response

You can also go to the adblockplus website and download the latest apk from there too.

Adblock Plus only works somewhat. It definitely works, unlike adaway and Adfree, but it sometimes will stop blocking ads or even block your entire internet connection. It's kind of buggy. I'm glad it exits, but it is my last resort.

Did you ever get around to making that new hosts file by chance? Just wondering. The current works great but only blocks 'most' ads. If you're not planning on it, mind dropping a little DIY info? I'd be glad to work one up and share it with everyone I just gotta figure out how lol

new market version 2.2.7 (new update)

Awesome! No more FC everytime I download or upload an app

Sweet thanks man. It looks pretty good, definitely more flashy. I just hopes it also performs better. I get some FC from time to time
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Hopefully I won't get that weird "downloading (paused)" funk anymore.
VERY NICE! thanks for this!
This is really nice. just downloaded it from applanet
Maybe it's because I'm not used to it yet, but I don't like it. Looks way too cluttered to me, and the previous version seemed much more streamlined. All they needed to fix was the backend of it (i.e. stop FCs).
The current market has never given me any problems but I think I'm still going to check this update out. Thanx

Does it attach itself to my current market app? Or is it a separate apk? And can I revert back to previous version?
You just install it and it replaces the old one

Hulu to Evo/Evo3d???

Has anyone hear when hulu is coming to the evo/evo3d?
Heard not hear...damn fingers.
i contacted HULU support and they said they were trying their best to get it out for most devices.
I swear, you cant get out an exact answer from no one these days,
Wow...thanks so much. You've actually given me the most direct answer in the past week. Everything from ordering stuff online, to rebates, to hulu, and also to inductive charging. Thanks...I guess I'll just have to keep waiting from between 3am and 9pm from july to may. Haha...thanks

My Verizon

Has anyone found a working MyVerizon apk that will work with the 7/30 nightly synergy rom? I've tried multiple apk files found in other threads addressing this issue, but I always install it and then get a maintenance error. I've ran the fix permissions tool in Rom Manager but still no luck. Is there any suggestions for this issue?

Thanks for the attempt to help. I already had the sso engine, but just for the hell of it I decided to go ahead and redownload this one. After installing this engine I had the same issue as before. Im not a developer so I have no idea what could be the problem, but it would be great if someone could figure this out. I believe many people who have the new capped data plans would appreciate this.

Unfortunately, ATM there is not a working MyVerizon for Gingerbread ROMs. The problem exists on Verizon's end. They won't build an app for Thunderbolts with Gingerbread because officially the Thunderbolt doesn't have Gingerbread.
The price we pay for rooting, I guess.
I want it back too but I can wait. I'm not sacrificing root access for one app.

I am also on Gingeritis 3D VII, I installed My Verizon from this link and when I run the MyVZW and force me update. It screwed doesn't work anymore after updated. Just like Schedonnardus mentioned pretty much same issue in my side.

(waves jedi hand) You don't want verizon products on your phone.
Any luck on modifying the updated version?
I am assuming you get the message that you have to install some vz log in software to use the app if so I found a work around. i loaded the latest ruu and backed up all system data using titanium. Once I did that I flashed back to bamf and then used titanium to restore the com.vzw.permissions apk once I did that I rebooted and my Verizon started to work. When I get to work tomorrow ill try to post the apk so we can see if it works for others
Ok guys try this:
http://db.tt/2AEdRXd
It should install no problem, but if you guys have a problem drop the file into system/app folder using root explorer. Once installed reboot then download my Verizon from the market.

Ain't nobody got time for that
If one was using the stock ROM but had it rooted, updating would presumably deroot the device, right? Or would the update fail?
I meant Q-slide was suppose to be working with other apps, like the whole browser not just certain videos, and it was suppose to work with other apps natively. In the notification bar there was suppose to be a Q-slide bar under the brightness bar and you could select apps to play over your current app.

bloat isn't really a factor here but we can all expect better JB roms

Dude I NEVER had that option since I took the phone out the box at the AT&T store. You're saying you had that to begin with? I find that very odd....
So I did some searching around to see exactly what Q Slide is SUPPOSED to be and I think you must have this feature confused with something else or another phone all together. Even on various videos and LG's own website, Q Slide is used to watch VIDEOS and use apps at the same time. It says absolutely nothing about having 2 different apps on top of each other at the same time. I think you are confusing yourself mate.

Have an HTC One coming next week and the idea of being able to replace it with stock Android makes it potentially much sweeter. I love the Nexus 4 performance and it does everything I want but I can't get over how nice the One is every time I hold it so I had to pick one up to try it out as my daily driver. Had a One X awhile back running Viper ROM which was very nice so I would imagine I can just run with the stock Sense until stock Android is available. Saves me from buying the Googled version of the One if HTC will be providing an update.
I could never give up Highlights & Zoe.
I'm fine with Sense. Just need root and I can do whatever I need.
