[MOD] Ad blocker

Hi guys,
I tried to implement good old method to block unwanted ads by adding advertising sites to the HOSTS file, on the Sammy ATIV Odyssey (full FS unlock) and it works perfectly But I'm still unsure ('cause I'm developer and do have some ad-based apps in store) - should I post this info? BTW, we do have mods, lets give 'em the rights to decide, delete this thread or not...
So, this method is pretty simple (he-he, same as my very-very first WP7 hack):
1) You muist have an interop-unlocked handset with full FS access
1) Download the latest "blocking" hosts file, for example, from here
2) Rename your download from hosts.txt to HOSTS
3) Connect your handset to PC, navigate to \Windows\system32\drivers\etc folder
4) Paste downloaded HOSTS file, choose "replace" in the copiyng dialog.
5) That's all folks!
You don't need to reboot (like on Android phone with AdAway app) - now your handset is ads-free...
If you wanna revert back, just delete \Windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS file.

Nice! I will try it! ?

@sensboston:
Am I right in assuming that there's no way to interop-unlock a WP8.1 phone like the Lumia 930? At least I couldn't find one...
After some years I did the 2nd attempt to adopt to WP. The first one lasted for a day or so. Now, after some days of using the Lumia 930, I really really love it. Not only the device, but also WP8.1. But the fact that there is no way to block ads in browsers is really really annoying. I have no problems with ads in apps, because if I like an app, I purchase it anyway. But I can't "buy away" ads in browsers, and lots of sites get more or less unusable in mobile view and without ads being blocked.
Unfortunately there's not even an alternative browser for WP that would have the capability to block ads...

Worked on Lumia
I did this on my Lumia 1520 without Interop unlock
Works fine, thanks

I did this AGES ago on my 8X. Didn't think it was post-worth lol.

How exactly did you do that? My assumption was that you need interop-unlock in order to access the file system, including the hosts file. If you are not interop-unlocked, I would assume you have some other kind of unlock. Developer-unlock?

You know, right after my first "hack" for WP7 (also it was my first post here ), a lot of websites and forums are announced this hack without reference to me or xda. But (he-he ) , just AFTER my post...
This hack (from the user experience) is one of the most useful hacks for WP. But as a developer with ads-based apps, I was in a quandary - should I post it here or not...

No Interop Unlock, nor developer unlock, I used my own "Root Tool" app from windows store. Which is capable of all second party capabilities.
My pleasure.

Is there a way you can walk me through the process to use your app

Oh, I've got your "Root Tool" - still no luck for handsets without SD-card
P.S. He-he, I believe, I'll get WP10 Lumia-940 before someone will release hack for the Lumias without sd-card...

@djamol: I'm curious, how'd you manage to replace the HOSTS file on a non-Samsung phone? Root Tool doesn't allow moving files out of Windows directory, or copying or moving files in, unless you're using the Samsung CRPComponent.
Similarly, while you can get read access to the Windows directory via MTP when using Root Tool, you can't get full FS access; most of the file system (like the Windows dir) will be read-only or even totally unavailable.
I edited the HOSTS file on my Samsung - in fact, I wrote an app to do it, because I had to do it for work sometimes - but that was using CRPComponent or Full FS Access via MTP, neither of which are currently possible on a Lumia using any public hack I know of...

So what i told you before a many times. I've mentioned you a lots of time in my posts.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3014867
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58925177&postcount=7
On Lumia device there is a lots of some pretty well arbitrary resources that can allow us to access the "SYSTEM" resources.
I think we had a big miss-understanding about the RPCComponent. because of RPCComponent uses "DeviceIOControl" for registry access and not the RPC functionality. (forgive me if i wrong in my knowledge. I'm a student and new to WP/.Net Platform)
On Lumia Device there is .winmd component known as "Nokia.SilentInstaller.Runtime.winmd" uses "DeviceIOControl" API.
For the "FileSystem" API it works fine without any restrictions which is implemented in "Nokia.SilentInstaller.Runtime.winmd"
But registry access could not getting a well token privileges. we need to find some unlocking trick for registry access (like NonProductionErrors.txt) for that .winmd component to handle the "CreateFileW" function for "DeviceIOControl" API.
About the "Root Tool" App.
There is no update for "Root Tool" app. It is still on the FIRST Release.
Currently I'm working for the "Root Tool Beta" update and I've implemented such resources in my "BETA" build.
I can't do a fast development because of my less/poor Programming knowledge and due to my college busy scheduled.
Thanks.

Can someone make a tutorial how to make it work on lumia 735 please ? i'm new on WP and doesn't understand everything for now

@djamol: My apologies, I somehow missed that you'd managed to get file access working. That's great!
Looking at the APIs that NdtkClient.dll imports, I'm pretty sure it's using RPC, not DeviceIoControl (IOCTL). That's not really important, though; both require INTEROPSERVICES. It's just easier to write our own code using IOCTLs than using RPC, but since we already have a client library, hopefully that won't be needed...

@GoodDayToDie, @djamol: guys, could you please be a little bit more specific? Do you have a .winmd for this dll or function prototypes (not just exports)? NdtkClient.dll library is already on \Windows\system32? Or it should be ingested to the app package? (in this case, the app will be banned on automatic certification process).
As for the "Root Tool" (published in store), it's not using NdtkClient.dll (as far as I know). The file access via FileSystem.winmd/FileSystem.dll to system areas is read-only...
Could you share your finds to general public here or (at least) in private mail? Thanks!

@GoodDayToDie
Yes, Both requires ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES.
Can you send me FileSystem's code which is you developed base on the RPCComponent ?
I'll try to port it for lumia using NtdkSvc as possible.
I hope you can port it also for lumia in minutes but I'll try though.
@sensboston
There is no .winmd file for "NtdkClient.dll". You will find that .dll in extras+info app.
and "NtdkSvc.dll" in this path "C:\Windows\System32\NdtkSvc.dll".
There is a very simple trick to bypass the Store Submission process including with kernel libs.

Even those cap's cant write here until using any System Resources.
"C:\Data\Users\PUBLIC"
But can write here.
"C:\Data\SharedData\OEM\Public"
"C:\PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\OEM\Public"

FileMoveEdit alpha-ish thing
Here you go. It's not been updated in ages, aside from some really minor tweaks I made just now. It's a WP8.0 app; it'll run on a sufficiently-unlocked 8.1 phone, but uses no 8.1 APIs. It also has some known bugs that I really ought to fix, though I'm working on other stuff at the moment.
You can probably get at least some of its tricks working on Lumias, though you may need to drop the symlink functionality as that both requires full capability-unlock and requires editing the NTFS configuration settings in the registry (the same key that, on desktop Windows, is edited by the "fsutil" program).

@GoodDayToDie
Sad thing happened for me. My device screen got broken
So I'm opening a new thread for "Root Tool" app public development.
It would be great for everyone.
Can anyone suggest me for which is best method for public development or any github/codeplex useful ?

@djamol, github is allright.

No work with Lumia 1520 Denim

We know Windows Insider getting new update(v1.2.217.1) and come with blocking any possibility to get windows 10 for phone with non-supported device
but i found new way to install Windows 10 fo Phone for any non-supported phone (for all Lumia’s with SDCard enable).
Ok, let’s do it!
Please: DO WITH YOUR OWN RISK!!!
***Requirement***
– Windows Phone 8.1 (Denim or 8.10.14219.xxx is recomended)
– You must have preview for developers installed before to continue with these steps. (Download Preview for Developer from store)
– Have more 300MB free space of Sys Space
If you not have enought space, Flash your phone with Nokia Care Suite of Lumia Software Recovery Tools (you can check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8/general/how-to-flash-nokia-care-suite-5-t3044200 )
– Internet connection and WiFi
// Hack Your Phone!
Download Hack Tools.zip here
www.4shared.com/zip/9WPofdrGba/Hack_Tools__WP81_.html or see attachments
1. Deploy Custom_WPSystem.xap tool
2. In Hack Tool.zip, the Custom_PfD.xap file, save/place it in sd card.(just place, don’t deploy it!)
3.Now open Custom_WPSystem.xap tool. At startup you can see “SD Card permissions” as red color. Now click that , browse and select SDcard (just SDCard!) to apply permissions.
4.Now you can see “SD Card Permissions” as green color.
5.After changing SD Card permissions click on browse xap button.
6.Browse and select Custom_pfd.xap from SD card and click Apply XAP Button.
7.After successfully applying custom_pfd tool to preview for developers goto Preview for Developers apps.
8.Now your phone is hacked and you can edit registry of your WP8.1.
// Change the registry key
9.Browse to HKLM\SYSTEM\Platform\DeviceTargettingInfo | you will see green bar as “You can edit here!”
10.Change these values of some this key.
– Change PhoneFirmwareRevision from default to ->>02055.00000.14511.22002 and click the write button.
– Change PhoneManufacturerModelName from default to ->> RM-984_1006 and click the write button.
– Change PhoneOperatorName from default to ->> 00-IN and click the write button.
Thanks for djamol about the WP8.1 Hacking
// Here is the trick!
11. Then, go to windows insider app and Tap “Get preview build”
if you can’t see any build available for your phone, try to “open windows insider then select sign in with different account > Sign in with Microsoft Account. After that login back with same windows insider account” and then choose the build what you want, you can select “Insider Fast” or “Insider Slow” about what you want to try.
12. Download the update using WiFi!
Don't forget to follow my Twitter @T4ufik_Hidayat
Sorry for my bad English
Tested on my Lumia 520 and it's working
Thanks to vincenthnkf for old method :highfive: , thanks for raghulive for basic new method :good:

lumia 810 here, everything went well until the phone restarted prior to install. After about 30min of spinning wheels, it returned the 80188308 error.
it was 8.1 preview for developers in factory reset only, will try from factory firm wp8.
Useless to try. Now, when I open windows insider and log in my ms account, the app crashes and exit.

it's over 4gb.
At first I was able to log in the insider then get the update, though, after downloading and half an hour of spinning wheels, I was getting an 08xxxx error whitch was common on early updates of wp8.1 due to lack of space. So I cleaned up the phone to factory specs. Now, I'm not able to log in the innsider app, as when I input username and password, the app craches. Even if there's no tweak at all.

Sys space not same with phone memory (internal). Again, it will be not affected by factory reset. You must re-flash your device with Nokia Care Suite (first point in the Top thread).
The Windows Insider force close because the update faild and no another way to fixing it without Flash your device using Nokia Care Suite

Don´t work
It don´t work with my Lumia 625. It come the Error

[XAP] Custom Lock Screen - Rebuilt for 12-Hour format and U.S Date format standards

Hey Everyone!
I am not going to say this is my app because really it's not, this is just a rebuild of the LockScreenTest app with United States standard Date and Time formatting for those who want it.
Original app is by: -W_O_L_F-
To install the application you will need Interop-Unlock as well as:
ID_CAP_SHELL_DEVICE_LOCK_UI_API and ID_CAP_CHAMBER_PROFILE_CODE_RW must be unlocked to install this app!
Install with Windows Phone Power Tools or with this method!
Download is in the attachments list.
Features(These features come from LockScreenTest by -WOLF-):
Set pictures as background
Set video as background (Place raw MJPEG video on root of SDCARD NOT PHONE STORAGE)
Override system lockscreen
Calendar events
Notifications (E-Mails and Messages as far as I know work?)
12-Hour format clock
United States standard date display
Music control (Xbox Music only for now)
Battery Percentage on Lockscreen
Let me know what you think, this is my first attempt at compiling a Windows Phone 8.x application
Side Note(s): I also plan on releasing an AdAway port to WP8.x devices as soon as I can figure out how to get system access to the hosts file. but that will be in another thread.
Enjoy the app!

thanks for this tool and good to see set video as background .
but why it needs to place video file in sd card ?
isn't it better to use file picker and save video and background picture in ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder ?
or you can use KnownFolders.VideoLibrary.GetFileAsync("Background.mjpg");
to get the video file from sd card or internal easier .
I tried to run it on my Lumia 920 with Windows 10 build 10152 , I couldn't run it .
It stuck on Splash Screen .
and then I test it on my ATIV S with 8.1 , it runs without any problem at running .
couldn't able to use it after copying video file in sd card .

Thinking about it, but I might just scrap this project since most of my time and energy is on AdBlockWP, I am not sure yet though, I will keep everyone updated.

nah, tested both tools and nothing

I tried full FS access by patching an old version of CustomPFD to see if i could replace extras&info directly from phone memory.
I think some directories are hidden so i could not find the directory where the apps use to be installed.
However, i found a directory with the OEM apps (touch, extra&info, etc), but it seems that it's there only to be applied after a hard reset or something like that, so just replacing files wasn't enough. Extras&Info wasn't the only app with Interop Caps, but almost any app that is under settings has that cap.
So i unistalled touch settings and downloaded it from SD then i used MetroCommander to replace the SD files the old way (before CustomWPSystem was created, lol). Got nothing but an endless "Loading..." screen, but i guess i did something wrong.
But technically (someone correct me if i'm wrong) we can do Interop+Caps unlock using some other app from settings, right?
I'm pretty sure i've seen a settings app with a lot of capabilities in the manifest, not just InteropCapabilities, i don't remember exactly but it had something to do with SMS

Well , i think that we just have to remain with vanilla wp 8.1 until they fix wp10 annoying bugs, everytime i think i found a work around for a bug, there appear more bugs, my fault though, i chose the fast ring...

Now that Groove supports gapless playback, i'm considering going back to W10M (downgraded last week to WP8.1). But it's a hard choice, it sure has nice features but some bugs are just too annoying.
Did they fix the screenshots not appearing in Messenger/WA bug in 10549?

any updates on this? i have WP8.1 Update 2 and i'm having the same issues, not being able to install extras&info to SD card. i read somewhere on reddit (i think) that someone found a method that works currently, but searching around, i can't seem to find out the procedure..

[1.0][EXE || APPX][16/01/2016] CustomEdgeFavs - Extend the functionality of MS Edge

CustomEdgeFavs helps you to extend the functionalities of Microsoft Edge by adding the bookmarklet features.
I've created two variants: the "Desktop" edition for Windows 10 PC and the "UWP" edition for Windows 10 Mobile.
They're quite similar, the only big difference is that Windows 10 Mobile needs an initial configuration to work.
UWP EDITION - INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS 10 MOBILE (DON'T USE ON DESKTOP)
1. Extract the zip file
2. Copy the files within your phone
3. From the File Manager on the phone, open the only appxbundle available and confirm
4. Wait some seconds: the app will appear within the app list
IMPORTANT TIPS AND ADVICES, READ CAREFULLY!!!
1. If you're having some permission problems while saving the lnk file, you can manually copy the lnk file by downloading the zip provided here.
2. You can install the appx on Windows 10 PC, but this will not work due to permission problems. Please use the Desktop Edition.
3. To allow Edge to recognize the changes, you've to remember the website where you've created the favourite. After the creation close and reopen Edge, navigate to that website, open and close the favouries (you can try to switch folder too) and then navigate to another website.
4. UWP edition doesn't require Interop-unlock to work.
5. You can't add or remove favourites from CustomEdgeFavs. You've to create or remove these directly from Edge and then edit with CustomEdgeFavs.
6. If you can't delete a bookmarklet, try to edit that again, then open Edge and try to delete before syncronizzation.
7. The favourites syncronizzation will work even with edited bookmarklets. Be careful as you can lose or damage your favourites.
LATEST VERSION + CHANGELOG
Desktop Edition - 1.0 16/01/2016
UWP Edition - 1.0 16/01/2016
p.s. Here's a tutorial in italian with some script tested and created by me http://www.windowsblogitalia.com/2016/01/microsoft-edge-customedgefavs/

Working fine on PC but........
I used the desktop app and it worked but its not installing in phone. I tried from file manager did not work and when I used Device Portal it shows me this error, " Failure reason: Failed to start deployment. Failure text: Package failed updates, dependency or conflict validation. (0x80073cf3) "

Hi, could you try to open the appxbundle from the file explorer app?

I did. The pop up for installing the apps comes up. once clicked it goes away and then nothing happens. I hard reseted and now trying again.

That's strange. Are you on build 10586 or higher?

i am on the latest build and had reseted the phone. i can still deploy other appx but not yours. Its working fine in PC though.

Hi, try these appx. There are dependencies that you may need to install to make this app working.
You'll find two appx within the zip file.
I think that you can install them from the file manager.

now its done but i had to do a bit tweaking.

Using dependency it worked but as i suspected the shortcut link you have given did not work. So i went into packages ( i made a short cut from PC and copied it to phone. i think you should make a shortcut from the address of edge bookmarks folder on PC ) . After that went to edge folder , roaming state. Voila your app shows me " Success "

I'm already creating lnk files from desktop
Which path did you use? In my phone, the correct path is c:\Data\usera\DefApps.Windows Phone\AppData\Local\Packages etc... (the one available within C.E.F.)

i went packages and the Microsoft edge folder.
I tried your other apps before, those were nice. Device diagnostic hub should have a page showing running apps ( not system apps ) like task manager- lite

If you can recover the complete path or the lnk file, I will add within the OP
About Device Diagnostics HUB, I've merged the "apps" and the "processes" within the same list. I will add a filter within the next big update (I'm going to release a bugfix with some better translations soon, then I will release the 2.0 with a lot of new features). I've opened a dedicated forum for DDH here http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...-device-diagnostics-hub-performances-t3276664
p.s. diffidate from imitations XD

no probs... keep on making such mods. Well try to make them independent of interlop unlock like this one as i cant interlop unlock my phone

Would be good to add auto-fitting the image to certain dimensions and the possibility of personalization as in the Start menu. If that's possible. For example:

Hi. After a few days of excellent work in the program will stop displaying the websites. Re-jump and run is not helping. Is there a way how to fix it?

Mhm... this is the first time I see this problem.
Have you disabled some settings related to synchronization or you've done some updates from Windows Update? Try to reduce the numer/size of the favourites and their icons too
About the concept, unfortunately that's not possible, because it's possible to use only a picture and I can't add more options to the favourites list within Edge

Pasquiindustry said:

Yes, perhaps there is any limit on the number of\a size. If you delete all the created tiles, the program again has earned (remove 1-2 tiles did not solve the problem). When the size of 70x70 pixels was created about 35 tiles.
About the update: the program has been installed on the build 14251. Then updated to 14257. The program works excellent, all created in the early build displays and new. Thank you
=======================================================================================
After 3 hours :Reduced the icons to 50x50 pixels. Created 19 tiles. Closed the program. Then again launched and again the sites ceased to appear.
