What are you guys using for adblock on your rooted s4?
tried adblock plus, fixed the settings. worked for regular browser, and chrome, but some apps stopped connecting.
Surely, there is a global adblock that works on all apps on s4.
I use Ad away. I think its pretty beast.
Adaway for sure.
Adblock plus using easylist, that one seems to work the best for me on my tablet, and fanboy's list works better on my phone(captivate glide).

Ended up installing from https://code.google.com/p/ad-away/ via fdroid. Apparently most of the current tools rely on modifying the hosts file to direct ad sites to localhost..
Crossbreader looks like they have implemented something along the lines of pixelserv in tomato where it serves up an empty white space of 1x1 pixel, which I assume has aesthetic value, though I wonder if it provides a performance advantage to the above options?

Did you install this on top of the kernel / rom? I currently have kuban (rom) and agat (kernel). Can I just install this crossbreader on top?

Yes sir. You dont need to wipe or anything. Just put it onto to your storage and flash it from recovery and it does the rest itself and your good to go.
Read the original thread if you want an indepth explanation to what exactly it does, it is really thorough. Also be sure to also grab the uninstall zip from the thread and put it on your phone as well. If you ever want to take off Crossbreeder for any reason, just go into recovery, flash that zip and your good to go.:thumbup:

Wow that was surprisingly easy. I made the switch, to crossbreader. Hopefully this works faster than the hosts file method. I've heard good things about frandom, but no idea how to get it to work with kuban rom and agat kernel. I have a 64gb exfat microsdxc, so am staying away from other kernels for now.
What is your setup with cross breader (rom/kernel, etc...). My friends keep saying how their iphone scrolls faster and I would like to show them otherwise wit h this android.

Yup process takes like two seconds! :good:
You don't need to do anything to get frandom to "work". If the kernel your using has the frandom module, which Agat's kernel does indeed have, Crossbreeder automatically detects it and utilizes it. All three kernels out right now, Faux, Agat, KT, all have the frandom module so you don't need to worry about it. (Actually I'm not sure about Faux but you get what I mean).
I'm just running Force Rom 1.1 because none of the TW roms are actually much different from stock other then removed bloat and a little theming at the moment, so I'll be on that until the goodies start pouring out.
In the meantime I'm running KT's kernel OC'd to 1998 or 2106 with a few tweaks here and there in Ktweaker. Plus Crossbreeder 5.21.13. (Also installed Viper4Droid for sound modifications)

if you read my last threads you will know i mashed my other note to pieces....
on my desire i would flash roms 3 each week without messing the phone up, so after messing up my note through formatting through cwm while on ics i am a little/lot scared about doing it again..
so i want a little help if you guys would be so kind :laugh:
i dont have the new phone with me right now, but this time i am going to learn how NOT to brake the phone before i start playing with it.
so could you please walk me through this, explain to me as you would explain to a child LOL
so as i understand it, i need to keep to gingerbread then root it, go into recovery and flash the rom from there? do i use the normal phone recovery to do this or do i have to install cwm?
i am a little worried about using cwm again tbh, or can i use mobile odin?
i want to know the easiest way, the most fool proof....
damn i was never this worried with my desire.
your probably thinking "if you are so scared then why bother" right? its just the phone is so damn laggy, even compared to my desire which was built by cave men
cheers for the help guys, asuming i get some ofcourse :fingers-crossed:
Start from a gingerbread rom, then fully root it and install clockworkmod, next boot into recovery(volume up+power+home button together). First flash paranoid android rom then flash gapps, lastly wipe data, cache partition and dalvik cache. Reboot and enjoy

Yes, you can flash from one of the supposedly known safe ics kernels to speed the process up BUT if you want to be 100% safe in flashing to any cm9, start with a gingerbread rom.

So is it still okay to root through cwm and then use mobile odin? Are there any decent roms out yet that have decent s pen usage?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
I also just received my note from samsung after bricking it with CWM. I am so afraid I might brick it again trying to install paranoid android since I have to wait nearly a month to have my phone back in case anything happen.
Just one question, as long as I'm on paranoid android, can I just format or factory reset my phone through settings or recovery or cwm safely? Thanks a lot.

If you want to install paranoid, its cm based which means no touchwizz apps will work on it as they need the touchwizz framework. That being said, s pen still works fine and there are plenty of alternatives to the s apps (papyrus, memo etc). Also I've read that one of the devs is working on getting the s apps onto cm9 somehow, but not sure who or how its going. Also the cm9 kernel included for the rom is safe from the superbrick bug as its has the cap wlerase command disabled.
PA has a slightly different installation to other roms. I would highly recommend first installing stock rootable gb, root it and install cwm. Once that's in place perform factory reset.
Then download paranoid and g apps and copy them to external SD card.
Then FROM CWM recovery, you flash pa first by "installing zip from SD card", then do the same for g apps straight afterwards.
If you have any fc's or issues, enter back into cwm recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.
Boom, ready to go for full on paranoia
Its a truly great rom, very customisable and as ics should be.

Thanks ST, so am I right in thinking if I go the cm route then I don't have to flash the kernel first. It will do it for me? So all I need to do is root it and get a safe kernel?
Is there a free mobile Odin app, I looked on the market but there is only the pro version...

The safe kernel is included in the pa rom, cm9 kernel. So long as you flash it from cwm in gb you're fine it installs it automatically.
Think mobile Odin is only a paid for app... well worth it though. Check the forum, chainfire usually releases free versions to xda community.

If you asked me. I like the stock firmware not cm9 paranoid. Because you will lose your S-Memo, S-Note and S-Planner and also your myfiles and also the MHL. All of this features are important for me. Paranoid is cool firmware but you will loose this apps...

I must be the only one to not notice any major speed differences between odex and deodex. I mainly run a deodex rom because I don't wanna have a gazillion .odex files in system app and system/framework. Oh, that and being able to theme as I wish.
Deodex is useless. There are some websites about this. If you need to theme the Rom you just deodex the needed files to theme them and you keep the advantage of odexed Rom.
this is a great idea, but it does not work on wanamlite 3.7
there are others options to odex a deodex (and very customized) rom ?
thanks

Im using ronne's lite rom. Runs perfectly fine here.
I usually install all the mods and apps i wan and then use tb to convert some apps to system apps and run odex me.
But do be aware that some apps dont work having converted to system app. Like the xda app. Because i was using this mod ever since i got my previous phone note 1 i know what apps to convert.
And u wont be able to mod your phone after using this. Im not a modaholic and its like a standard procedure for me to use this mod after setting up a new rom.
Personally i feel the phone is faster and slightly improves battery life. Of cos its just my personal opinion. Cheers

Ok. If you remember how you did it would you be able to share your experience please? I am still on mf3 and have listened to many people who claim its not worth going to 4.3/mk2. Honestly I stopped using Safestrap, because I didnt want to divide my internals space to add another alot. I tried a couple roms in slot 1 but really like the way Hyperdrive looks. By the way...did the note 3 launcher work for you or did you use the s4 touchwiz launvher option in aroma? Thanks.

Idk I like the Google edition Roms because its close to stock and you can flash gpe Roms on mf3. I'm running shostock right now but I had HD12. You have to download HD from the Verizon forum under the safestrap version then do the necessary steps to run it in safestrap like any other ROM. I would create a ROM slot first and test it out, you have to input att APN settings to get data to work and flash mk2module to get WiFi to work. Yes note 3 launcher works but I just used nova launcher over it.

One of the things I was looking forward to trying when I got the 4.4.2 update was the KitKat Dialer from Nexus 5. I have used it with custom 4.4 Roms in the past and really liked it. One of the first things I tried when I updated to 4.4.2 was to sideload the .apk. That did not work and just kept FC. I rooted and flasked the .zip, same results. Anyone know of a work around or a way to get this to work?
Try the flashable zip from ParanoidAndroid it's listed on their gapps page as an add on. It works on CarbonRom.

Thanks for the suggestion but that is the zip file I flashed from recovery.
I'm having the same issue (FC when opening Google Dialer after flashing the zip). I'm very interested in a solution to this. Hopefully someone has an idea.
I don't think those will work because they seem to be for AOSP. Use on TW would require some modding.

I guess I'm in the minority but I actually like TW dialer better. . It's prettier & more functional for me. The dialer screen is one of the uglier screens on my Nexus 5, IMHO. I really don't like the blue on black look.
Just was curious if others have tried it? I just got it working on mine everything seems to be working. Haven't used it long enough yet to be certain of improvement but my entropy values are definitely looking good

What ROM are you running this on? I ask because if there isn't Init.d support on the ROM, then you need to add it before using Fly-On. I use Fly-on with Slim on all of devices and I love it.
Stock rooted 98.18.94 and I used a different mod I found here on xda to enable init.d support... I forgot what it was called but as all I had to do was run an app
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk
Yeah, I probably used that same mod to enable init.d when I was running a stock ROM for a while.
