Hi
Was just wondering if someone knows how to get rid of all the advertisements in de applications. Is there already an adfree hostfile available for the SGS2?
Look for adfree in market place, very good app
Its the same hostfile as sgs

Thanks! That (I think) worked indeed.
host file will be the same as every other one for ad blocking, although I prefer to have AdFree installed for easy hassle free updates.
When I start Adfree I see this error. I deleted cache from application menu but still got same error. I uninstall app then installed it and I see always same warning. How can I fix it?
Try Adaway instead

yes same just happened to me, error
so put date back to 2011, run adfree, updated hosts, then put year back to 2012.
but need to do this till fix but its a way round for now,
this was the latest free adfree from play store. hope it helps someone anyway

+1 on this, I've used adfree for about two years and only recently realised adaway works better
Adfree updated today over market.
Working fine again.
Newer version worked for me too.
Yep, looks like it again works properly after the last update. Anyway , will also try this Adaway app as a second choice, thx for info.
Is AdFree removed from Play Store? When I try to start it, it says:
"This copy of AdFree is too old, please update to a newer version."
That worked for me:

how do I update apps like Amazon, photobucket, etc.? I can't update them from the market since I didn't download the from there in the first place.
download it from the market. Just try it. Download it, dispite it not shown in the market as an update. Once installed the phone and your market will see it as an update.

yep
First time I logged into the market, it autoupdated all the junk. Goggles and visual voicemail won't update but that's it.
Yeah, I didn't even find "Visual Voicemail" in the marketplace anymore.
I'm pretty sure that T-Mobile might have pulled it from the market entirely.
Anyway, I can't seem to update Google Goggles either. I've tried several times, but it never seems to actually update and install the latest version.
Would it be safe to use Titanium Backup to remove that system application? Or is that not even possible, considering I've read that people have tried to remove the "bloatware" but it just seems to reappear after a reboot.
Any insights?

Damn, no more HD2 huh?
Yeah you can remove the bloatware from your device. Well, disable not remove. Read on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809231
Ha.
No way, Jose!
I still have my HD2, it's just collecting dust on my computer desk right now.
I thought about using it as a fly swatter, but that seemed too dramatic!
KIDDING!
But yeah, that thing is legendary, so I couldn't just be rid of it.
And thanks for pointing me in the right direction man, good lookin' out!
If you don't want to disable the app which is very easy to do over terminal emulator, try freezing the app with titanium backup. That way you can see how your phone will work with it disabled. For example if you freeze/disable the stock messenger app no messaging app will work after that until you unfreeze/enable the stock one. Same thing with youtube. If you freeze the app and download the newer one off the market it wont work.
Some 3rd party app depend on the stock app to be functional. Let me know if you need help disabling an app. I'll make a video. I <3 my new camera. I traded a gun for it.
I can't seem to update Goggles...
I've disabled the application, then tried to update it from the marketplace, and still nothing manages to install.
I have successfully updated every other system application through the marketplace, with the exception of Goggles.
How can this application be updated properly?
Have you tried to enable it then update?

Yeah, of course.
But from what I've been told by a few other users... it's a bug in the ROM that doesn't allow certain handsets to update that application.
I mean, unless you have been able it?

Finally!!!! Anyone else excited Sign in It's awesome. Shows every app you have installed from the market too. I love this

Alas, still cannot buy paid apps. It checks your carrier and if your country doesn't support paid apps, you don't get to do so online.

Is it correct that I cannot take a "backup" of my apps and reinstall from web after a flashing??? Too bad
I just tried to log on, but I get a certification failure, and if I comtinue the address is on a red background.
Works great. Click on it on your computer and it downloads and installs on your phone. My old eyes love this.
When i flash my phone, so all installed apps are deleted.. but this website shows me that the apps which i have installed before the flash are currently installed, too?
How can it be reactualized so that the online market shows me the apps correct..

Although you wiped your phone, you probably had your settings set up to back up your application information and to restore after an install. You can check that by going into Settings, and then Privacy. My ROM (aosp-CMod-20110201) has this feature, so whenever I wipe, format and flash a new update, all my apps are restored.

Very nice, this is how market should be.
Both free and paid apps work for me (Voda-NL) and get pushed straight to the phone, very convenient.
Hmm exciting?
as someone else already mentioned and shares my opinion:
appbrain rules. showing pay and free apps and relations.
So far I stick to appbrain.

Still think it should be possible to save your applist as of now so you can reinstall after a factory reset...

Hmmmm i am getting vending process crash trying to update or install apps, anyone else? =\
That didn't work, bloody hell!!!! My phone was running so well, I guess I will have to reflash the rom ::weeps::
Be cautious un-installing apps using titanium.

Make sure you place the apk in the system/apps using something like root explorer.
no problems here, just installed it as a market update, no pushing req'ed.
its interesting to me that some are getting issues with app installs on this ver?
it Does seem to break a feature or two with TB (from what ppl are saying, out there, on the internets), the dev has been alerted, and I would expect an update soon. as far as Amazon... idk
worked flawlessly for me, but then again, I don't use Amazon, or TB to uninstall appz.
Can someone tell me why I still have ads on my apps?
I am rooted with one-click, installed Calkulin's rom 2.9.2 and went ahead and installed Adfree to see if it would help. Still have ads.
Never had a problem with the rooting or flashing the rom. I have also tried several modems trying to find the best for my phone. I currently have FC18 installed and it seems to be the best so far, Sat. lock is almost instant.
Thanks in advance,
Rick
OP where are you seeing the ads?
Did you run adfree and rebooted your phone ?
I'm on blazer and see ads in tweetcaster. That's the only one as far as I can tell
go to the settings in Addfree.

Add free works best while app with adds is running, hit home button, open add free, run add free, you should get a conf. No add present, do this while on wi-fi .
Works for me every time.

Tried adfree, adaway and rom toolbox.
Still get ads on some apps.
Oh well, they are free apps so can't really complain.
Edit: I found another post on another forum and it stated if the host file shows a bunch of IP addresses as "127.0.0.1", then it didn't work. Anybody know how to fix this?
Same here its only w ics

Odd...that is precisely the core of the ad-block... basically any address that points to that, say ad.doubleclick.net gets redirected internally to the loop address, i.e. it wont be able to load the ad since its being blocked. It could be that the application is getting the ad from somewhere else. Try droid wall.
Anyone found one that works well after the update? No ads on my phone (rom'd Note2) apps but they are all over the place on the 7!
AdAway works for me, works via the hosts file so it blocks ads everywhere

Try, making sure your SuperSU binary is up to date then clear the adaway's data in settings. Launch the app and download and apply the host file. I had to do this step a couple of times but once it updated without stopping/crashing everything has been working.

I noticed if the screen goes off while AdAway is updating the hosts file, it'll hang and the only way to get it up and running again is force stopping and clearing the app's data, but keep the screen on and you should be okay

Both Adblock Plus and AdAway are working fine for me - I use both, since they use entirely different methods of blocking ads. They never conflict for me, and whatever tiny loss of efficiency exists is a terrific trade for NEVER seeing an ad, anywhere.....ever.
They survived a non-OTA 4.4 upgrade and re-rooting for me. I lost wifi manager and the Xposed framework, but nothing else.

Is it in the play store?
