Adaway is the best!
Ad away and former adfree user ad away is going good.

open up this zip.
take the file 'hosts', copy it to your phone directory '/system/etc/' replacing the original using a root level file explorer.
you just manually ad-blocked your phone.
Download FDroid.apk (google it cuz I can't post links yet lol)
Search for AdAway from the app. I'll manage the hosts file for you and is very frequently updated.

Is there any way to get rid of this restriction with the zip files and other files as well.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Hi,
I don't know of a native method of removing that restriction, but the free app Byte Tornado downloader integrates with the browser and allows almost any file to download directly to the phone.
I hope that helps.

Down Droid on market. Just a download manager. Nothing else.
Awesome thanks I used byte tornado

download Astro from the market or appbrain then you can download zip files and extract the apk files from the zip. It's also a great utility app to manage files and backup applications.
I use opera browser to download files. It how's never given me any problems.

Sadly the stock browser restricts a lot of downloads: .zips (and many .apk's if not all).
Probably there to "protect" itself.
But any third party web browser
(Dolphin HD or Opera) can do those kinds of files.
That is if you don't wish to use a download manager app.
Hope this helped someone!
Hi all.
Ok, my tab (7510, wifi only, US) is rooted and working great.
There's a file that needs to be edited to enable the 5Ghz wifi band. I did that.
So, what are some recommended apps for a rooted tab that make this already terrific device even better?
I'm running stock ICS, with the Nova launcher. The tab runs like a rocket, and everything just works with no
problems. I'd prefer to stay with stock ICS for now rather than a custom ROM.
Thanks!

Hi ak.
Yes, you helped. Thanks button clicked!
My favorite app for any rooted android device is LBE Privacy Guard. It's a "by app" firewall and permission manager.
You'll have to grab it from their website for the GT but is runs fine on it. For my RAZR I grabbed it from the market.
I also like OS Monitor and Titanium Backup.

Thanks Michael.
Definitely TitaniumBackup. I know a lot loves the Root Explorer but ES File Manager is great too once you turn on the Root Explorer option. For me it's a lot friendlier.

I have ES File Explorer; it's what I used to edit the file for 5Ghz wifi. Agree, very user friendly.
Thanks again.
Can't live without Rom Toolbox Pro. It's all root apps in one. File manager, app manager, cpu control, theme editor, and much more.

If you start flashing a lot consider App2Zip as well. Backs up your apps and data to a recovery flashable ZIP file. Can be a bit faster than TB restore and is done pre-startup of the ROM. TB is still great to have though.
For recoveries I recommend TWRP. Touch interface, multi-zip flash in one install, file manager built in...

Unlike my previous galaxy phones, where Samsung conveniently allows access to system files via Settings, there seems to be no such acess on Nexus 7. Where on earth can I access them?? Why Google make this so hard?
Download es file explorer.

Thanks, but can't I do that without using 3rd party apps? Why stock Android doesn't allow viewing system files directly?
So inconvenient

I have also noticed that. Even with es explorer I am not able to send apk files. Work around which I use is to change the extension to .mp3 or anything which can be sent and change back to. Apk in receiver phone.

It works fine using Root Explorer.

Create a Dropbox link?
It seems to be inbuilt limitation by Google, possibly to prevent malicious users to push malware onto other people's phones.
I installed Bluetooth transfer app and now it works well. Tried transferring apk from laptop to phone and it works fine.

Same problem here.
If I try to send an apk between a Galaxy Nexus (JB4.3) and a Nexus 7 (2012 JB4.3) the transfer fails. (es file explorer / apk share / root browser)
Seems that the bluetooth just blocks apk transfers. If I rename the file, it works.
Is a 4.3 security feature? I use to transfer apk before the 4.3.
I think it is a google limitation for prevent to share the pirate apps

Open the /etc/hosts in a text editor (that's what it is called 'hosts' file) and remove the lines for the ads you want to allow. You will need root access.
If you would rather not have any ad blocking there should be a way to revert to the original hosts file in adblock.
