Hi.
One of the main reasons I wanted my Arc rooted was to block the ads that take up screen space and I never read anyway.
This thread is about a current script but it doesn't work on the Arc because it apparently needs the paths changing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664532
anyone feel up to doing this for us?
Cheers :-D
things in that thread can be applied to almost any Android phone.
But instead of manually doing it, why don't you do this with AdFree from Market?
Cheers, didn't know about this app; will give it a go
Hi
I know it is an old thread, but does adfree still work on your SE Arc?
I have installed Adfree but still got all the ads. I am using stockfirmware (2.3.3), rooted of course. And added Adfree to the super user list.
Still works on my 2.3.4, worked on cm7 2.3.7, and has worked on any rooted phone I've had. Did you install from the market or restore from titanium backup? If you restore to a different rom don't restore with data, it'll appear to run but not have any effect.

Personally I would recommend against using Ad blocking software. Because developers get revenue for these ads. It's least we can do to support them.

I totally agree with you, that we should support developers. And if a app exist in a donate/buy version I always prefer that over a ad financed version. But when browsing I'm getting sick and tired of all the ads. Though, I now site owners also need ads to finance their website.

Have you actually run the app and used it to download/install the hosts file necessary to actually block ads, or did you just install it?

Installed, downloaded host files, and created symlink between /etc/hosts and /system/etc/hosts. When I view the different host files they contain all the entries from Adfree. When I compare with my Magic - where it works - I can't find any differences in host files. I must admit I have now given up.
It works for me

Hey XDA Folks, we have a YouTube channel where we normally film ROM overviews for the LG G2x as well as the HTC Sensation. Just today, I bought the TF300 as my "go to" Android Device and so far I am very pleased!
It is a powerful device, without having any signal issues and it has a pretty decent price tag. Down below, we will be posting vids as Development options become available. So far, we only have the ROOT method, which is simply to run an APK and a Tweaked Build.prop which, is literally renaming the old one, and copying the edited version to /system.
Anyway, take a look at our vids and more videos will be coming in the near future

I'm having a problem though with the custom build.prop process. My TF300 is rooted - or at least SparkyRoot and Voodoo OTA RootKeeper both say that it is - and I was able to restore root with Voodoo after updating to .29 last night. But I don't get the permissions dialog when opening ES File Explorer, and I get "operation failed" when I try to rename build.prop to build.prop.bak.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Problem solved. I used Root Browser instead, noproblem reanaming the file. Not sure what the problem was with ES File Explorer.

Hmm, haven't come across that error before. How about reinstalling ES File Explorer and as soon as you open it it should prompt you for ROOT Access. If it doesn't then go to the Settings and look for the "Enable Root explorer" option. Now it that fails, download another File Manager that has Root browsing capabilities. Hope this helps

I didn't try reinstalling ES FE, but I did reboot a couple of times, and also tried the enable root option in settings. None of that helped, so I gave up trying with ES FE and installed Root Browser Lite, which worked flawlessly.
Good videos, very simple and very instructable.
Now i know what is the first to do when i'll get my tablet (very soon, 2nd June).

If you'd like to use ES File Explorer in the future, make sure you go into settings and mount /system as writable, and enable root browser. This will allow the renaming, and if you want to change the permissions just long press and hit properties.

Thanks a lot for that explanation. It will help anybody trying to follow this build.prop video who isn't familiar with how ES File Explorer handles permissions.

Hey man! I live in Toronto, Canada and got the Bundle at my local Best Buy. There were only 2 options. Tablet only for $399 or bundled with the keyboard for $519. There wasn't a separate box for the Dock. However, after researching online it showed that it cost $149 for the dock which is RIDICULOUS in my opinion but anyway...turns out that I saved quite a bit getting the bundle

Well, I wish you luck
A reddit user has gotten a hold of a Nexus 5x early, and posted the new Google Camera. I know a lot of people have been interested in getting a hold of the apk to hopefully get it to run on the Nexus 6, so I figured I'd share.
"EDIT 2: Here's the Google Camera apk you've been asking for. I tried to upload to APKMirror but it told me it needs to be non-odexed."
APK:

Definitely worth a try, or if someone has time to deodex it that might work. I want to play around with it more, but I have to go to work, hopefully someone can get it running by the time I'm done!:good:
would you have to be rooted to push this?
you do realize that its just the google camera? you wont get any new features, as itll only show the features that are actually possible from your phone, just like the play store version. lol.
Wasn't sure if it was like moto camera in the play store, and how its limited to certain devices. I figured it could be a newer version than is currently available to all devices in that regard. The current published version is 2.7.008, the one posted is 3.0.026. It could at least have the updated UI, regardless of features.
Google will release Camera v3 for all devices running L and M, since its their first version to use the new Camera2 API. They could do it next week or it could take months, who knows.
If we're lucky, it'll somehow enable the Nexus 6 to do high-speed video recording as well... since as far as i'm aware, the hardware is capable of it, just no software support yet.
And am i the only one who's annoyed that pictures you take STILL look like crap when zoomed in using Google's Photos app?

why do you use the google photos app? i dont use it. i use the aosp gallery . and its working on marshmallow!
You have a link for where to download the latest version? Or is it in the Play Store as well? I've always used the gallery app before, but I've been running stock Marshmallow since it came out. Kinda waiting for the Slim team to get some 6.0 lovin before I switch back to custom roms.
i was waiting for the camera to be ported but from 6P since its the one with slowmo capability, 5X doesnt!
but still good if we can run this one. gonna wait for success results.

I'm having issues with my browser giving me the error "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" on some sites. Tumblr in particular. I have tried to change DNS on my phone with no luck and tried to use a VPN with same results. I noticed this with the Tumblr app when I tried to login that it would give me an error saying I'm not connected to a network. Other sites seem fine like Google, Facebook, etc.. but with Tumblr, and more (dare I say) adult sites are giving me this error. Not sure how i would go about fixing this and everywhere I have looked so far has giving me no solution to this. Is this a result from rooting, or am I just oblivious to the solution. Anything the would help would be appreciated.
Are you using the custom rom or trying to use your stock one? The stock one is broken(for now)
If you are using the custom rom try formatting your data and see if that fixes it. Dirtysanta methods need to be done from a clean install only.

The functionality is gimped in the G/EU versions.
In the EU version it's just voice unlock, US version is far more extensive, have no idea why ZTE insist on fragmenting their user base with such stupidity.

I use ES file explorer which lets you backup any user or system app to a directory.
But the playstore has many similar backup apps dedicated just to backing up apks.
You could perhaps try this one.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ort&pcampaignid=APPU_1_6_yUWLDtHMfQ0gSlopf4Dg
Apk Export
Should just give you a list of installed apps, and then just navigate to MyVoice and it will copy the apk.
Much appreciate if you can manage it.

Which in turn has led me to making some progress, It led me too 2x additional apks, One which I have installed, and I can get some of the voice options, although some menus are in English, and some in Chinese.
And some options are crashing, but I can enable voice unlock, or name the assistant, sound unlock, voice memos, weather.

What's got me confused is....
The apks I managed to extract from a custom rom are called...
HaloSpeech.apk this is identical to the MyVoice.apk you uploaded.
Same version, size etc but named differently....
My G version also called MyVoice.apk is slightly higher version.
These won't install or overwrite my version.
I also came across HaloSpeechBase.apk which is about 50Mb.
This seems to contain the extra and missing voice stuff and installed, and as mentioned I can get to many of the voice functions, some crash and half of them are in Chinese.
I cannot help but think there should be a USA version of this file likely called something like MyVoiceBase.apk or similar and should be about 49Mb.
So perhaps if you could look to see if there perhaps a similar file on yours.
But not sure why the custom us rom i extracted them seems to have Chinese versions. But I will try and keep digging in the meantime.
I have enabled some of the functionality., so am confident this is doable.

Hello,
Old thread, but maybe still someone can help around this problem..
I have got G version now, and some of the functions are missing of CH version as My voice, and MI-tools (with ZTE's factory shipped sound meter, calculator etc) and MI-Assistant

Anyone has it for the G version or someone could export it

and also MI-Tools and MI-Assistant from Chinese version ?
I would really appreciate theese files!
