Hi everyone :)

I have an issue with Adfree app from the market, if i use it by pressing

Download & install Hosts

it is blocking the VPN connection and if I make

Revert

the VPN works fine..!!

is any one have the same issue with Adfree ..??

and how I can solve it..?

I am using Android Revolution HD 6.3.2

I have the same issue with Android Revolution HD™ 7.0.0
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donkyshot:
Sounds like the hosts file is blocking your vpn.

Try reporting the developer.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wywywywy:
There have been reports that AdFree Android's list of hosts isn't 100% accurate, blocking some innocent hosts while allowing some ad hosts.

Give Ad-away (http://code.google.com/p/ad-away/ ) a try, as this one allows a user-defined "whitelist" which should solve the problem for you.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Dimamas:

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] reikableu:
is it saying something about the katana.facebook for the force close?

because it happens to me as well...
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Rodsengard:
You could try to delete facebook-app with root-explorer and reinstall via market.

You get it installed as /data/app then. Sometimes had this problem with other ROMs. No 100% solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] cygnus39:
Yeah you're right man..:D
[Desire General] Clawsman:
Yeah..as the title says.. 3 weeks ago this hacker hacked into my network..

placed rootkits in all my 3 computers and then hacked its way to my Desire and my wifes iphone. good thing i had wireshark running same time.

So.. 5 units hacked with the method in like 1 houre. Bad luck for me i guess.

And kaspersky didnt give me any warnings at all. bye bye kaspersky.

Anyway... i flashed my desire's HBOOT just to be sure. after i did a check with "AutoKiller Memory Optimizer" all kinds of malware services was attached to most of my apps.

1- downgraded HBOOT

2- flashed stock HBOOT from alpharev

3- Changed recovery from CWM to 4EXT as i suspected the recovery being infected somehow.

I checkd my log... the hacker had removed some files and moved shell files from an folder to another as well as busybox and so on. it was so many i thought il be better of installing new ROM.

I tried with Gingervillain first... everything installed fine..

checking with "root explorer" i see same files that had been moved and added was still there.

OK.. i tried again..

full wipe with 4ext and then installed Runnymede.. still.. when i check my root partition most of the files still there and i get same results doing a root check.

any idees...? im not sure if my kernel is right. it should be, when i installed Runnymede. when checking kernel v.

it says.. "2.6.35.10_EBfixTP2WcLsSma2OcUvVddS35+droidzone@supernova #11"

May be kernel rootkit? does the kernel start before recovery?

can someone plz confirm this?

baseband seem to be the same

any advise as for how to start from scratch will be much appreciated.
[Desire General] erklat:
Full wipe wipes /cache, /data and /sd-ext to my knowledge. There is a possibility some of the files remain on /system. Use 4EXT to manually format each partition using format option.

That seems in order. Long name in attach marks modules added to that kernel.
[Desire General] Clawsman:
Ok

well.. i did the format manually in 4EXT.

I suspect some files still to be there..also some boot files containing malware script.

what file contains the boot script? i mean.. what file is the first to be triggered when booting in HBOOT. because many things in the recovery doesnt seem right. and the hboot fastrecovery starts with a delay.

Like when i want to partition or when i want to format all partitions except sd. Acts like it doesnt want to.

Anyway.. was just wondering if i could just adb and delete every file folder that is in in my phone and then flash recovery and ROM again.

Is that what RUU does?

is that something to recomend?
[Desire General] Bingley:
RUU is complete wipe of everything. /system, /hboot etc.

Download the correct one for your phone, *follow its instructions* (may need a gold card - google it) and run it on a clean pc.

Clean your pc ie format and reinstall after taking backups.

Then start again wit ha new hboot/rom setup.
[Desire General] andreigherghe:
Is that even possible? Infecting an Android phone via a Wi-fi network? :confused:

And Recovery shouldn't be able to get infected. I think ONLY /data can, and eventually /system if it's mounted as RW.

But on a wipe data gets deleted, and on a ROM install /system and boot (which holds the kernel and ramdisk) is deleted anyway.

RADIO starts before HBOOT. And there's absolutely no way they can be infected.

To be safe:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase recovery *OVERKILL*

Then just do fastboot flash recovery {RECOVERY}

And there's nothing more you must do. HBOOT reflashing is 100% pointless.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malctron:
Hi, This is probably a n00by question, but do headphones work on the ICS rom builds yet?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias4ever:
Yes, I can confirm that they work on CM9 Alpha 2 for the TouchPad. :) You need to plug in the headphones before starting any music/movies, etc that will use the headphones. If you plug them in after the music/movies started they will not work for some strange reason. :)

Hope this helps! :D

P.S. My Mother works graveyard and has CM9 Alpha 2 on hers and she loves watching movies/tv shows at night when they have nothing to do so she uses her headphones without problems.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malctron:
Haha, I have to say I like the iPhone XD mainly because I only use it for texting/fb/emails/music and tethering. I have to say though I find the apps on the iphone/ipad seem to be more finished than the android versions. But then theres the argument of them being restrictive (which is true lets not fight there :p)

Thanks for the good luck, but I have android on there already so won't take too long to update to CM9 or ClassicNerd.

For some reason I can't get any service with AT&T but it picks up service with T-Mobile.

I have it rooted, unlocked with the Ace Hack Kit and running ICS AOSP.

Any ideas?

Edit: I've tried flashing different radios still no luck.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Are you using an ATT SIM? Can you get ATT in your area with a different phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] sh4rex:
I tried three different ATT sim cards and yes there is ATT service in my area.

[HTC Inspire 4G] sh4rex:
Yea I do and a reboot. No luck but T-Mobile for some reason works fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sh4rex:
I also get an error when searching for networks in the settings.

"error while searching for networks"

This is so confusing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
You don't need a correct APN for phone signal. So that shouldn't matter. Could this phone be possibly stolen or involved in an ATT account that was terminated early? Maybe ATT has it blocked from the network?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
I was gonna say this, my friend picked up a rooted phone a month ago. Had the same issue as the OP so we called AT&T and sure enough the IMEI # or something like that was reported stolen and had service terminated. They went on to tell him he's S.O.L.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
This is a really interesting post. This is the first case I ever heard of where AT&T blacklisted a stolen device. I hope it is true. Typically, they just terminate service by deactivating the sim card and don't worry about the device.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sh4rex:
I did buy this off of a stranger. I have never heard of ATT doing this though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sh4rex:
I found one thread on the net from a nexus owner and he said it was a mobo issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
thats like using google to diagnose your car. apples and oranges. your next step should be to contact ATT and find out if that imei number is listed as blocked from the network before taking wild stabs in the dark from reading forums about phones different than yours.

not to knock you for searching though, it is appreciated :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Did a little searching and it seems ATT does not blacklist IMEI codes. Just sim cards. Go figure.

I find it difficult to believe it is a motherboard issue. If it picks up a T-mobile phone signal there is no reason why it should not pick up an ATT phone signal if the sim card is good and there is service in the area.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sh4rex:
I gave up and sold it to someone using tmobile
[HTC Inspire 4G] washington023:
since it was rooted, ATT is still able to block the cellphone? I thought they might lose the connection with this device... Sounds interesting:rolleyes:
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
Since fernandezhjr the police of interesting posts wanted to poke some holes in my story...I asked said friend for a little more detail, turns out the phone in question was sold with the simcard in which she tried to use. Shady seller I guess sold the phone and cancelled the simcard on the phone, not sure if the phone was stolen or was actually the sellers phone but regardless that's neither here nor there. Once removing the simcard she was able to use the phone with her simcard.

edit: phone was never rooted. not sure if that matters to anyone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Heh heh. Like I said before, no poking, just spotting. I don't think anyone would like misinformation being posted, even if it isn't intentional. And when it comes from a more informed member like yourself that likes to be helpful to others, it is more likely to be accepted and/or acted upon. I also only question you when I've had conflicting experiences or seen reliable sources that conflict. The non blacklisting of devices is one that has been discussed here before and typically pops up in many other forums.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotstocks:
I read in Development forums that the new Nitrous rom is

an updated stock rom that is much faster. I have flashed

many roms and kernels in the past and never saw a speed

difference (unless overclocked). Well I tried Nitrous and again

noticed no difference in quadrant or nenamark2 scores (I game).

I flashed the hotspot hack and it did not work, so I flashed

a supposed faster anthrax kernel. Nothing got faster, but now

the hotspot wifi works. So Nitrous is a good looking rom, but

I don't get how everyone is saying it is faster. The only bugs

I found is that set cup or cpu master, as well as sd speed increase

tweeks do NOT stick after reboot. Anyone have any ideas on that?

And can people post their quadrant and nenamark2 scores to

show if it is really faster? Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Quadrant scores dont really tell you anything and can easily be manipulated, linpack scores are a slightly better judge for performance but still not truly accurate and easily manipulated, your best judge for true performance increase is to use it for several days preferably a week and see how it runs for you
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotstocks:
That's kind of my point. I have tried many roms/kernals and no matter

what speed claims they have, they are all the same (sense based).

I would think that 3d games like Shadowgun, Nova, or Dungeon Hunter

would seem faster/smoother with so called faster roms and kerrnels

like Nitrous/Anthrax, but they are exactly the same speed as Sprint

Stock HTC Evo 4g? All these roms floating around are visually different,

but the speed is exactly the same, so why do devs claim their rom

is faster?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotstocks:
I watched a guy on youtube flashed 119 roms/kernals and said

SavageZen/MUII or something is twice as fast (quadrant), but

the guy lost the ability to mount the phones SD card and 4g!!!

So, my question is:

For the Sprint HTC Evo 4g rooted,

what is THE fastest sense rom/kernel?

Or are they really all the same speed?

Mainly interested in faster gaming, and I do have chainfire installed.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moreno4xl:
Damn Hotstocks at this point I don't think there is anything different anybody can tell you that would really meet your demand... Perhaps maybe you can seek the opinion of notorious XDA Guru "Captain Throwback" and see what he thinks on this matter, this dude forever has a good tip on just about any relevant issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotstocks:
Hmm, it would just seem that people around here would

know what is the fastest kernel/rom for full Sprint HTC evo 4g

sense compatibility. Unless I am mistaken, all the sense roms

are the same speed and people are lying when they say they

are faster (Nitrous). I can see how Cyanogen or a senseless rom

could be faster, but all the sense roms I have tried were no faster

than Sprint HTC stock. Maybe a Nitrous user can chime in here.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevovanburen:
Hey,

I am not sure what he did to the software of the phone but it appears to me that he didn't tweak the system speed at all but if you noticed transitions are faster and he changed a lot of the animation settings to no dealy so they move faster and gives the Rom the appearance it is faster but the Rom itself has no physical speed changes. That's my two cents anyways

I hope I helped if I did please hit the thanks button

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You do realize the evo is almost 2 yrs old and is severely limited in capabilities by its hardware right? No one can answer your question because every evo is different and every user is different what makes my evo fast may make your evo crawl and vice versa, you also have to wait several days after flashing for the rom and kernel to settle in before your really see any performance difference, you cant flash a rom for an hour or 2 and then judge it they HAVE to settle
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moreno4xl:
This is pretty much what it is hotstocks, just keep in mind these are just a few factors that may vary results from user to user.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotstocks:
Thanks for the info. I know the hardware is not dual core or the newest.

And I do let the rom settle in for 10 minutes. I don't see any reason why

it would need to settle in for a week, but will use it for a week. And the

statement that my evo will be a different speed than yours makes no sense.

If we both have a Sprint HTC Evo 4g running the same rom and kernel at the

stock 1ghz, they will be both the exact same speed and should quadrant the same.

Obviously if I have a bunch of programs running in the background, that changes, but I am talking about after a fresh clean flash.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
U obviously need to read some more, there are 3 different hardware versions of the evo 002-004 and all have slightly differnt hardware thus they all act differentlu with different software, it takes much longer than 10 minutes for hardware to adjustbto new software which it why it needs to settle in for several days
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotstocks:
Thanks for the info. My hardware says 0004

Does that mean I have the newest/fastest hardware?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Newest doesnt mean fastest so no it all depends on what they had when it was made they have different logic boards different cameras different screens different brands of memory but all have the same processor just different combos all run differently
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotstocks:
Thanks. I know my phone isn't the latest and greatest.

But I am holding out for the LTE Sprint phones coming this

summer. It would be silly to waste my 2 year upgrade on

a Galaxy SII with wimax, when I will need an LTE phone this

summer. Plus it will probably be a quad core 1920x1080 monster

also. Right now I am just trying to make my phone as fast as

possible. It is overclocked to 1.13ghz, have sd speed increase at 2048.

I thought there would be a SIMPLE answer to which sense rom and

kernel were definately the fastest, but I guess no one can answer

that simple question. I have been working on computers for 30 years,

I can install windows XP, windows vista, and windows 7 on three identical computers, I can also flash old and new bioses to the motherboards,

and I can DEFINATELY then benchmark the same machines with different bios (rom) and kernel (windows version), and tell you what is the fastest. I fail to

see why this is so difficult to do with a smartphone like the evo 4g. I would think that the rom/kernel with the highest quadrant (graphics) score and highest Nenamark2 score would be the fastest rom/kernel. Games or 3d graphics is where the phone runs into a bottleneck.
