Amazon ads back after Nougat update - Moto G4 Questions & Answers

I updated to Nougat yesterday and the Amazon ads are now back. The methods i used before are not working anymore. Does anyone know how to get rid of them now?

Have you used the Amazon add remove app? The one with the dogs face?

Yes, but unfourtunately it doesn't work anymore. Not for me at least.

Are you using the no_ads2.apk version of the dog's face? I used that one and it appears that step 1 would run but I can't get past step 2 with that app.

Yes, that's the one. I've used it before, but it seems it won't do the trick on Nougat.

Same, I used it on Marshmallow so I guess there's something with Nougat changed so this app no longer works. Guess we might have to wait a bit until a solution comes out

It's because that app used an exploit called DirtyCow that was patched with a security patch a few months ago. Since we were only up to July for security we were still able to take advantage of it

Correct. It's doesn't work after the latest update. I used aRoot, and it worked perfectly. A lot of people have reported SuperOneClick working too.
Yes Can try Super One Click as it works for most of the phone

do you know if either method is compatible with 2.3/Gingerbread? It started rolling out (albeit in small scale) today for the droid pro. i figure its too soon to know for sure, but wouldn't hurt to ask

Someone will take the plunge and try it here I am sure. Would like to know the answer as well. Soooo many apps on the Pro that I would like to get rid of for my wife.

I haven't received the update yet myself, so I'm not sure. I'd be inclined to think that it probably won't work. Maybe something like Gingerbreak will. I've seen around various forums where several Pro users have received the update, but none of them are trying to see if currently available means will root it yet.

I think a lot of people (myself included) are unsure of the consequences yet. It's my wife's phone so I wouldn't take a chance on messing it up since she also uses it for work. Trust me if it were my phone it would definitely be tested right about now. I'll keep looking around to see what some other people's results are and report back.
Oh and FYI she did receive update early yesterday.

Trying to use Gingerbreak or SuperOneClick shouldn't mess up anything at all. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, the rooting process should just fail and that's it.

No.
The only way to have rooted Gingerbread on the Pro right now is the through pre-rooted update available from Team Black Hat.
Noted with thanks!
I tried this: http://www.android-advice.com/2011/root-the-motorola-droid-pro-on-gingerbread/ and it works perfectly!

Anyone Having Trouble Using Textra on Their New Phone?

Nothing happens when I tap the send button. Anyone else having similar issues?
Yes, I am experiencing the same issue. A temporary workaround until a fix is produced is to enable "Send using Enter" in the settings.
Same here. I thought it was only me
Me too, I am back on the stock client for now. From what I can tell Textra needs to adjust touch placement for the notification bar. I was going to send them an email since they have been super responsive in the past... then I thought they probably hate me right now. lol
I noticed that you basically have to tap a CM(1/4") or two under what you actually want to touch. I'm sure they'll get it fixed soon once the device is in more users hands.
Ditto...also can't swipe to delete unless I increase the font size to 150% (Settings - Customize Look)
Experiencing this as well!
Sent from my PH-1 using XDA Labs
I emailed Textra support this evening. They got back to me and said they're aware of the issue and a fix should be live soon.

Understood, adb hasn't always been my friend either and definitely had some trouble with getting this one connected as well. Hopefully Textra will come out with an official update shortly. They are usually pretty good in that regard.

I couldn't stand using the Google messenger app anymore... so I spent a lot longer than I should have doing the ADB commands... I had to use an older version of the Android SDK install I had on one of my computers...lol
It works and yeay... still sad I had to do it. lol
Still can't get the app to work. Super frustrating.
Textra is working fine for me after the new update that essential released.

You really don't have to mess with SDK installs and all that. Just download load minimal ADB and fastboot. It's super nice for stuff like this.

I definitely think that is the update that's gonna prevent samFail root method and being able to roll back to previous fw. Thank God I'm already rooted and can't take that update. Hopefully someone will figure out a way to pull the Calling Plus feature from this update so we can take advantage of the VoLTE.

To be honest since I switched from HTC to the Note series I haven't missed rooting and flashing much. I use package disable pro to disable apps and now use Disconnect Pro to block ads.
I'm happy to have simultaneous call and data back. Just used it and it worked as advertised! One thing I noticed is the calls did not connect as HD voice calls.

I agree with you, my reception has greatly improved since this update.
Dang I just rooted my phone 2 days ago and I love having root! Can't live without viper audio lol so hopefully we will get root on this firmware soon
Holy rooster poop, this call plus is awesome. I longed for the day when i could take a phone call and use my hotspot at the same time..Heck yes i did!
That time I envy not being on the Sprint version just happened.. waiting on the unlocked update lol anyone have the unlocked version and flashed the Sprint version yet? Data while on call is game changer
Now we just need the built in samsung caller id lol
Almost worth losing root to get this update. VoLTE is something I really want lol

Shortcut Master finds the app for it and allows you to turn it on, but not sure if it works past that.

Well i have found a weird issue, and i don't believe it was there before the update. Microsoft Word will not open(crashes instantly) same for Excel, and MS apps. Then i notice my icons frame option is greyed out and i haven't a clue.
I have the unlocked note 8 with the Sprint firmware flashed to it and I got the update yesterday. I did not notice any bloatware being added after flashing. But I did get wifi calling and now have calling plus after the update.
Root and calling plus working for me have to move a few files around but it works

Android Messenges For Web? Have yet to get the update...

Wondering if anyone has or has not received the update? Is there a way to force it? I still haven't gotten mine and I really want to start using it.
Thanks in advance!

There is a way to force it if you have root but according to the article your mileage may vary, You can find the instructions for what you need to do here https://www.xda-developers.com/try-android-messges-for-web-now/
is this carrier specific? I'm on straight talk and i got the update, but no option to enable it.

Guys this is a staged rollout even once you have the update until google turns on the feature server side for you you don't get it. So chill and relax it will eventually work.
its here, i have it right now, w/o the hack
I got the notification today. Running beta 2 on Android p

10.5.8 was dated 14th may.. is very old firmware update....
10.5.8 was pulled in North America. They just released 10.5.9 and it only disables the colour filter camera.
There have been a few, there is an app on the play store called OnePlus updater, it works by identifying your device model and then searching for an update.
I didn't get 10.5.8 but the updater did.
You click update and it'll download it (good speeds)
Once compete, push it to the root of your storage.
The click system update in settings and choose local update.
Click the file
Allow to finish.
I've done this twice now and it's been flawless, no loss of data, no changes to device details.
I'd recommend it..
If you're rooted, i couldn't say what way you should update..with the fingerprint issue etc you have to be careful.

Well no., you can actually reactivate the photochrome lens using a few tricks, there's already a thread about it. Which will evolve and get easier.
I promise you it actually does work..
Try taking pictures of all the remotes in your house and sooner or later you'll get to see through one or some of them, a UK virgin TV remote allows you to see through its back cover.
I'm sure there are more things you can see through.
Also not sure if you know where to activate the lens but just incase.
Open camera
Click settings (top right in portrait)
Slide along to the right, the last filter.
