Does anyone know how to remove the adfree host file?
replace /etc/hosts (it actually resides in /system/etc/hosts) with a blank file.

where is the 3gmobile hotspot file located in a rom? and what is the name of the file? I deleted the file and now I want to restore it lol.
It's called mynet.apk and it is found in /system/app.
OK found a copy of the file after I unzipped the rom, but it gives a "failed to install" error...
would be nice if that was a bit more informative... anyone know how I might get this back on my phone?
hello ,
Am using galaxy ace and i want to change the default app icons [like My files gallery...etc].I downloaded a copy of my firmware and i was able to extract system.rfs from the md5 file which contained the apk for the music player...etc using 7z,i changed the icons to my custom icons...now I am not able to move the system.rfs to the MD5 file using 7z...does any one know anyway of doing this
P.S Does editing the files do harm when flashing...will this be succesfull?
If you edit rfs files on pc then its corrupted
So make changes in the apk and paste it in /system/app
You can make a new rfs fine too but that needs root and and the need to know which partition is mapped to /system
so can i just place the apk directly on phone through root explorer...but i tried that with an system app [you tube] i dont use ,i changed the icon and placed the apk using root explorer...after that it vanished..i tried rebooting and installing the apk....but it wont install...
May be this not a right place to ask, but I have this problem with recompiling an apk with apkmanager.
I'm trying to mod settings.apk and had done few modding in strings.xml. Since I have edited an xml I delete the resources.arsc file from the keep folder and also sign it after recombiling. But when I install the apk in my phone it never opens and force closes.
I've tried again by not deleting that file but that time no modifications where shown, And the next time, I didn't sign it and tried again to install the unsigned apk. But that too fails.
Anyone know why this happn?
Before modifying the APKManager, make sure the framework-res.apk and twframework.apk been set, and don't forget to delete the file resource.arsc and the file you have modified, then enter at apkmanager windows, don't forget to rename Unsigned to system file that you modified
What does Signing apk mean ?
Also How to make multiple apk into zip folder ?
Look in the META-INF folder of any market app; that's what it's about.
SHA-1 hashes of every file in the .zip (.apk) except one plus the corresponding public key of the signer.
It's meant for integrity and non-repudiation checks of the content - except in the case where a private/public key pair is used where the private key has been widely disclosed. In that case, you only get message integrity checks. I mention this because it has been the custom of ROM developers to sign with the Google "test key" that everyone knows.
A Java ".jar" file and an Android ".apk" file are more or less just zip files - the signing technology is identical... for instance, one way of doing the signing is with the Java tool "jarsigner"
You can put whatever you want inside a zip file, and you can sign whatever zip file you want. Nothing prevents you from putting 100 signed .apk files inside a .zip file and then signing that. Don't know why you would want to do that, but there you go.
Google search is your friend, friend.
Previously I have rooted primarily in order to use adaway and to alter my build.prop file to enable tethering on cricket. I've now realized I can accomplish those things without root by simply flashing a build.prop file and hosts file. I tested, at least, the hosts file portion using MoaAB - but their list is a bit...ehrm... overzealous. So I want to make my own based on adaway.
I've also included an altered build.prop that includes the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true line to enable tethering.
Problem is - my zip doesn't seem to work when flashed from TWRP. I says it completed successfully but upon boot - no tethering, and still tons of ads. I'm wondering if you kind folks can help me get this working.
My non-working zip file is attached, containing the files in question.
Thanks!
