Hey, just wondering if anybody has managed to port the write and go app from the i9000 to the i9100?
I used it allot on the galaxy s and now its not on the galaxy s 2.
I used a root explorer and bluetoothed the the apk and odex file over to the GS2 but it does not install, not even if i put them in the system/app folder. it goes tgough the install process but comes up when finished with the application not installed error.
Hello Everybody,
Last week i upgraded my SGS2 to 4.0.3, and i made a full reset, because some minor things did not work as expected. Now i got the stock firmware (I9100XXLPQ) with The CF root kernel (3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505) on it.
Now my problem. AdFree does not work anymore. AdAway and manually copy the hosts file to /etc/ neither. Of course i rebooted my phone several times. hope i did not make any other noob mistake... I tried different hosts files, one of them worked as expected on my friends HTC Sensation.
Someone got any help for me? im freakin' out because of these advertisements^^
Wish you a nice day and thx 4 all helpful answers
ad free
Working for me on CM9.
You might need to check the settings in 'Superuser'.
install adfree back and do everything like instructed... and if it still doesnt work, try to check the hosts file size? if its WAY TOO SMALL then u did something wrong and Adfree didnt modify ur host file correctly
it still does not work maybe there are some local files that i have to delete? (like dns cache which clears by rebooting the phone)
Adfree doesn't seem to work on ICS. Try adaway.
Make a copy of the hosts file .
Open hosts file on phone with notepad delete all the data save and close .
Run one of the add apps and see what happens to the file .

I deleted everything i "modded" with the hosts file, downloaded AdAway and now it seems to work. I think the hosts file from AdAway is very incomplete, but manually adding urls works now.
I couldnt figure out the problem. Maybe you just have to do it twice
Does anyone know how to get the advertisements urls from the apps? i want to block them manually.
thx 4 all the ansers.
I too noticed AdFree is not working on ICS, currently on the SG2 Epic 4G Touch FF18 update. Checked hosts file and it is updated with entries. I tested with manual entry and confirmed the hosts file works, but it seems like apps are bypassing it.
Control Test:
1. open www.purple.com (simple page that loads purple, handy for testing internet routing) - page loaded without issue
2. updated default hosts file with "127.0.0.1 www.purple.com"
3. open www.purple.com - receive "Webpage not available"
App Test:
1. Angry Birds in game ad still shows up
2. click ad, browser opens to "Webpage not available" - This proves hosts file is working, but because the ad still shows up in game is what makes me think apps are somehow bypassing hosts file...
I installed AdAway and when he created the hosts file can not and he said "lack of space on the partition!
Attempt to modify the hosts file in the preferences for target / data / data / hosts "

Thanks.. I had to revoke the permissions from SuperUser and re-started Ad-away. The app asked for permission again and this time manage to write the host files
Verizon s3 with android 4.4.2, rooted. I've been looking for the apk on my phone which causes the popup for "samsung account update". I renamed syncmlsvc.apk/odex, samsunghubupdater, samsunghub and samsungaccount with no success.
Any ideas which apk I need to rename to stop this guy? I've looked in /system/app and /system/priv-app

Hi,
I own a No.1 D5+ (smart watch - runs a standard Android 5.1, not Android Wear). The watch works well enough for what I had in mind when buying it, but there is one annoying thing: during bootup and shutdown it plays a melody at full volume regardless of the volume settings.
My plan was to root the device and delete / replace the file containing the melody. I searched for instructions specific to my model but couldn't find much, so I tried my luck with Kingoroot. That seems to have worked, though the root explorer app installed during the process still says it's not rooted, contrary to what the Kingoroot says.
Anyway, I tried renaming / deleting / overwriting the file both through Android Studio's Device Explorer and via adb shell, but always get an error "remote Read-only file system".
I'm guessing that means the /system/ folder is in ROM and can't be changed, or could it still be a software write protection? Is there anything else I could try to silence booting/shutting down?
I'm pretty new to all this, so any help is appreciated!
