Has anyone been able to install adblocker?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I installed Ad free by "bigtincan" from the market...as far as I can tell, everything is working just fine
I can install it but it won't let me update the dns

If Adfree isn't working for you, Go here: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
Download the hosts.zip file, extract it, and copy it via adb to /system/etc (or) /etc .
Or, copy it to your sdcard, then use root explorer or something to copy it there, then reboot.

Isn't the DNS cache cleared during a reboot? That's what the app says after updating...

when i tried to download new host it says fail system is read only

Is your build rooted? Some of them aren't really rooted by default, which case you can use z4root. I'm using tytung's FRG83D v1.9a NAND-build, which is rooted and I just installed AdFree by BigTinCan without problems.
Sincerely,

I use Gauner Desire HD NAND ROM
and rooted it with Z4root. Now the Add blocker from market works fine.

Get root access if you don't already have it
Using root explorer go to root dir.
Then check permissions and go to system/etc mount as r/w and paste host file.
The host file I use I git if darkstone @ gamesquare.co.UK. or. Com
It works in all the nand builds
If you don't have root access use z4root to do so
modified wpa_supplicant file needed to connect to Ad Hoc Network for android 2.3.3

http://www.emoiz.com/how-to-connect-samsung-galaxy-s-to-ad-hoc-wifi-network
I use this one (was pulled from an AOSP 2.3.3 build) with Darky 10 RC4. It's a little buggy at times but no worse than any of the others I've used with 2.1 and 2.2
thx, worked for me as well with Simple Honey v3.5
not working for me on ginger 2.3.3 criskelo 5.8 XXJVO.
it always obtaining but never connect
Works on my stock O2 Samsung Galaxy S2 (rooted of course) - but not sure it maintains as strong a signal as I would like (using with an AR.Drone) - still testing but definitely works and hasn't prevented me from also connecting to other secure networks.
how do i install the file?
I hace te galaxy s2 root, how can i install it? Just copy te file with root explore? I Sant ti use it with muy ardrone and ar pro

How do you change the wpa_supplicant to this one? I've tried to go to recovery mode and apply this .zip as an update but it says installation aborted...
I've tried to copy the file you've provided to the system/bin folder using a root explorer, but nothing happens... the file stays the same... help

did you remount the file system /system as read/write (rw) ?

Pardon my ignorance, but what does it mean to "remount the file system?"
The "system" folder has read/write permissions set according to my root explorer?... however I've just tried to rename or delete the wpa_supplicant and it doesnt work..
enter the /system folder with root explorer
and press the W/R button
and try again
enter the /system folder with root explorer
and press the W/R button

Okay, so I've finally figured out to how to remount with r/w permissions and replaced the file with the one posted here. However, now my WiFi won't turn on. The indicator that normally lights up green stays gray and there's no connection.
PLS HALP

what are the permission of the file you copied to /system/bin/wpa_supplicant ?
you will have to make executable for all

Has anyone got a working AD-Blocker for the ICS Roms...?

You can change hosts file with rooted device. I suggest use Es File explorer for full access R/W file system. If you edit hosts file on windows, you must convert it using dos2unix before copy to A500.
ROOT WITH
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1546593
DO NOT INSTALL FACELOCK or ACER RING
then after you open your tablet.
1 - Launch A500 Remount
2 - Press /system (Full access in ICS LEAK)
reboot your tablet
redo 1 and 2
then
use root explorer, go to system and press r/w button to change to r/w that should work
1) Get root as mentioned earlier
2) download AdFree from the Play Store. It works with ICS
This is the easiest method

This is a good method, however I noticed some problems with links to sites with ad redirects not working with AdFree. ROM Toolbox on the Play Store has an ad blocking option built in that has some more options (such as blocking risky sites or porn) so you can tweak to your liking.
AdAway also works, plus it has quite good block lists (AdFree misses some ads for me).
Thanks guys... I have root access already but still cant get R/W....
I am going to flash another ROM via CM.....
I used to like it when the old flash able ZIP files work..

Do you follow what I said or you just quick read..
the R/W you get it by doing what I said.
sometimes it's just weird, but reboot, and remount in RW then USE ONLY ROOT EXPLORER to mount R/W system/ others didn t make them work...
and command line neither...
Hi!
I'm trying to enable Ad Hoc mode on an Acer A500 running OTA ICS. I installed the Acer USB drivers; rooted it with blackthund3r_ICS_Root 6.0; checked it with Root Checker Basic; installed ADB on my Win7 PC; and checked that "ADB devices" reponds with a device ID; and obtained the WPA_supplicant file mentioned in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625962
Every time I try to copy the new WPA_supplicant file to /system/bin, it fails. Also, copying WPA_supplicant with Root Explorer fails, even with the partition mounted RW.
Help! What am I missing?
TIA.

You're not missing anything. The root method, does not give you true 100% System R-W access. Not with the stock bootloader. What you can try,
Copy your wpa file to the internal memory (remember where it is) (also long press and select copy)
Then run the included app "a500 Remounter" and select the System R-W option. (this was installed when you rooted) Then quickly go to your file manager, and set /System to R-W and try to paste your wpa file there.
You;ll have to play with this to get it going. Might have to do it a couple of times. This was a big pain, as I had to be very quick when doing things, as the R-W went away quickly.
I know you tried this a couple of times, but try it again. Also, make sure you;re using his version6 root app. It's a little better.
It's the reason why I moved to the ver3 hacked bootloader&kernel combo.
Your R-W usually goes away after you close the file manager app.
Hurray!
Thank you Moscow Desire. Being quick seems to have done the trick.
But here's a tip for others: Es File Explorer, in spite of claiming otherwise, doesn't seem to allow changing file permissions.

Yeah, another one that doesn't work well with the stock bootloader/root method is File Explorer HD. It just plain refuses. (hadn't used ES FE in a long time, so completely forgot about that one). Root Explorer is a little more reliable.
Glad you got it changed.
Also, when I was running stock and ver2 bootloader, I noticed I had to run the root program again to get R-W. Doesn't hurt anything, just had to run it again. But with ver3 bootloader w/altered boot.img, no problems. All explorer programs seem to work like they should.

Hmm I'd never had to rush to get remounted rw and having to press it in root explorer is a bug in RE. If you remount rw from cold THEN load Root Explorer it will show /system as already mounted rw

Maybe on some systems it does. I brought this up a few weeks ago. Maybe it's tablet specific.
After a week or so, the Remounter failed to change System to R-W. It claimed it did, but Root explorer still showed R-O. You couldn't change it. No other changes were made to the OS.
Ver6 did the same under ver2 bootloader with stock kernel. You had to be quick to do the changes, as the other user said. It's not a fluke.
Other known oddities,,,
File Explored HD would not recognize it. Failed to change System to R-W, Updating to Ver3 BL and kernel fixed this.
Of course it's a damn fine tool. It works well for most people. And we're thankful you take a part in development. Wish more would get involved.
I have successfully edited build prop on Android N Preview to allow tethering. My setup is as follows: I was originally rooted on Pure Nexus. I reflashed stock 6.0.1 MM and unrooted my device. I took the Android N OTA and rooted via CF Auto Root by Chainfire ( I had to manually fastboot the CFAR image as the program provided kept failing). I tried various root file managers that did not work. Finally FX Explorer with the root add-on worked. I had to change the file manager to open files in R/W mode via the menu settings. After that I was able to open the build prop file in text editor and added "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" (without quotes) at the bottom or end of the file. I rebooted and am able to tether without the subscription check. I am on an unlimited data plan. Hope this helps.

Worked for me, but I used Root Browser. Glad to have tethering on N.
Edit: Scratch that, I added the net.tethering line to build.prop, but when I go into settings and turn tethering on, it tries for a few seconds and fails.

What I did and always do is to modify my APN; where it says APN type i just add DUN and save the file.
Like this: default,supl,mms,dun
After you hit save your internet connection will reset itself, then everything should be good.

Sorry, no luck with that. I added the dun, now my APN type reads "default,mms,supl,fota,hipri,dun" and the net.provisioning line is in, but when I toggle the tethering switch it fails. I wonder if this is like the dark theme toggle, which requires several attempts before it works.

Try the fx explorer and its root add on...both are free. You just have to change it to open files in r/w in menu before opening the build prop file.
Mine has been working fine and i didnt have to make several attempts...it worked after the first try. Didnt change to DUN either. Only did exactly what i listed in OP...nothing more.

That worked! I thought that using Root Explorer, which also has R/W capability, would be just the same, but I guess I was wrong.

I'm currently sprint, I input the dun_required 0 by terminal emulator and net.tethering by fx explorer. My tethering wouldn't stay active until I switched to 5ghz frequency in tether settings. I connected my ipad and searched pages to verify.
For some reason when I try to mount build.prop as read/write I get an "error: this action could not be completed" within FX Explorer. I can however, mount the system folder with no problems. Seems to be an issue mounting just the build.prop. Any ideas?

I used terminal emulator to add the tethering_dun_required 0
And fx explorer, or root explorer or root browser (not sure which one) to add provisioning line. Then rebooted. Tethering would still turn on and off until I went into tethering settings and switched it to 5ghz.

Any chance you could post the steps for doing it with the terminal emulator?
Also, didn't you still have to mount the system folder as R/W? That's where it's failing at for me.
