Hi Everyone,

I have a question regarding these Ad Blocking programs. I see that they primarily work by adding entries in the Hosts file for IP resolution (usually the loopback address 127.0.0.1) for known Ad addresses. So my question is this... Is it possible for hackers to produce a fake (or partially legit) product that could be used for Phishing? They could inject IP addresses for banking, ecommerce, etc., websites to be directed to their fake sites.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Dagoof
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
You mean do something like redirect Wells Fargo to a copycat site to phish usernames, passwords, CC#'s etc? It's certainly possible. It'd be a pretty limited audience hack though. You'd still probably do better just sending a mass email.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
I spoke with the author of Adfree and his program implements checks on the downloaded host files to ensure they only point to 127.0.0.1 unless specified in the options.
[HTC Rezound] Dagoof:
Yeah... I thought that the easy way to rest assured was to go through the hosts files to be sure all the entries point to the loopback address...

Thanks!! :)

Alot of ROMs based off Xperia NXT v1.3 lately x)
[Xperia Play Android Development] wuby:
Yeah, i spent lot of days editing all the stuff and someone with one thanks says its badass cuz its based on existing ROM. Lol'd.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
If your referring to me, I am unable to use NXT Roms as I am on CDMA. I was thanking you for your efforts, despite the fact I have never used and will never be able to use this ROM. Not complaining just stating the truth.

Anyways congrats on the new ROM. :good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] wuby:
Thanks! Nice to hear from advanced member, unfortunally, its sad that GSM roms wont work on CDMA. All the processes are easier mostly on GSM. Hope you'll get Play (or other device!) that supports GSM.. :)

(And sorry for that badass joke, btw)

Sorry for lately posting the link btw, my inet upload is around 250kbps, so WAIT GUYS :)

103.89MB/155.86MB uploaded! (FFS i had to reupload cuz of fail)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Nope, your good. Good luck with the ROM. :good:
[Xperia Play Android Development] wuby:
Still uploading ROM to box.net (50GB space ftw)

Because i'm busy i can't test the ROM, so, if you have got some free time, test it and send report to thread!

If something wrong happens, report it and i'll try to make an fix tommorow :)

Thanks to all testers and positive posters! :)

Is the Smart Launcher built into the system i.e dosen't have to run all the time and just pops out after pressing home button.

The stock launcher only does that and otherwise it's a waste of ram.
[Xperia Play Android Development] wuby:
As i said, it replaces stock launcher in the core app folder.

Sorry for no screens but unfortunelly im busy (school), maybe tommorow ill take a look at that.

EDIT: The Box.net uploader is genius, i upload for almost three hours and after upload it says "Error, please try again" (FUUUUUU)

EDIT2: Trying to install rom and test it. Installation failed when installing in CWM. WTF seriously?
[Xperia Play Android Development] yekasangredevago:
Could someone comment Specifications of this ROM After installation ..

Including:

Internal Memory Available

Free RAM

And system memory free too.

Is that just finished making all the settings in the NXT V1.3 rom to install and everything would work again do everything just to try it.

Thanks .. from now :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] wuby:
Actually im stuck on installation. Hope ill fix it :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] wuby:
BUMP

After school i'll do an fix, guys!
[Xperia Play Android Development] sairaku:
Keen to give this a shot. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] wuby:
Bump.

Because i'm so busy at the school atm, i wasnt going to release n fix it. So at the weekend i'll rebuild the whole ROM to make it working.

Stay tuned! :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
Good effort so far but IMO not enough has been changed to make this release worthy at least not yet.
[Xperia Play Android Development] wuby:
The features will be comming. Cuz i have slept bad i'll sit to PC and finally make a flashable zip.
[Xperia Play Android Development] creative_md:
waiting for your rom :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] wuby:
I cant make an flashable update.zip in UpdateZipCreator, even it says "Done", the CWM says "Installation aborted"

And because i'm very busy and we have many (hard) exams on our school i have to pause this project. But! In october we will have like 5days of holidays, but thats too late. And because weekends are 2short i cant even fix it. Or if someone can help me or knows an answer or a script to compile the zip update, i will thank him much.

After the release i'll release mini beta builds :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
thats what i am saying though, why even start this "placeholder" thread when its not even ready.
[Xperia Play Android Development] wuby:
I maked it when the zip was ready, but sadly it doesnt work

+ I dont care.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Wouldnt it be better to come onto the forum with a bang and a properly compiled, already made, fully working ROM Remix?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CyberScopes:
You should test it before u make the thread. Not AFTER, people are gonna think its a fully ready rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyraxx84:
Stop to put everybody on the rack.

If the reason of this thread was to become more popular, then well done!
[Xperia Play Android Development] wuby:
I dont care if someone clicks "thanks" button or not.

I dont care at views.

You think i should fap at 9k views or what?

As i said, my bad, but as soon there are clever people that can only hate but not help fixing a problem, i had to pause it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] cyraxx84:
What are you talking about man? What for "hate" no one hates and what for "pause", there isn't anything to pause.

So it's just the TRUTH and if you accept or not it is so!
[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
Look wuby,

No one is raging or complaining at you

We are just saying as a "developer" more like a cooker than you should test the ROM first.

No hate for you or your rom but it doesn't work.

I tested my superspeed bloatware removed many times b4 i released it and it worked.

Yours didn't cuz it was never tested.

EDIT: Fixed the updater-script i think. so down to wuby to release it now.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Slothboy:
Test, test, then test again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] wuby:
Kay, thanks for fix.

Anyways people, i wanted to release the rom, but i remembered that i didnt remade the update-script, but i made a mistake in the file so i wasnt able to fix it.

[HTC EVO 3D] deathsled:
Is there a mod that would let me just have one homescreen when using Sense as my launcher?

I know I can do it with other launchers like Launcher Pro (which I have used 99% of the time on my OG Evo). I've seen mods/tweaks that let you change the # of homescreens but the minimum I've seen is 3.

I really prefer having just one homescreen and I'd like to see that happen in Sense. I've been poking and searching around but I haven't stumbled on anything yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
If you press home button again from the main screen to the view with all your screens, you can hold down each and drag it up to the X and remove them.
[HTC EVO 3D] deathsled:
I feel like such a noob haha. Ok down to one homescreen now, but can I disable the scrolling? It doesn't make sense (lol) to be able to scroll the screen to the same homescreen over and over.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Don't know how/if you can do that. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] youdug:
Mikeys rom has the spinning top mode removed. Isnt there an option in leedroid tweaks to disable it? Havent used sense in a long ass time so i dont remember. There should be other roms with it removed.
[HTC EVO 3D] deathsled:
leedroid tweeks does not appear to have any settings like this.
[HTC EVO 3D] youdug:
What rom you using?
[HTC EVO 3D] deathsled:
MidnightRom 1.2.7

I'm actually on an Evo V with Virgin Mobile, but it's the same phone as the 3D.

It's weird that I'm even trying to do this. I WAS using LauncherPro which has always been my preferred launcher. I'm not sure if it's a problem with this rom when using LP or what, but I've noticed that frequently enough when I would return to the homescreen from an app that there would be a black bar the size of the status bar right underneath the status bar, like blank space. It would stay there until I did something like go to the app drawer and then return home.

It doesn't seem to occur when using Sense, so I'm seeing if I can tweak Sense to my liking.
[HTC EVO 3D] ZWYATT:
Same deal for me using LP.

It hasn't been updated since March. Hopefully it hasn't been abandoned.

sudo passwd root
[HTC EVO 3D] deathsled:
Oh well it's at least good to know it's not just happening to me. I thought maybe there was something off in this rom that might be causing the problem, but looks like it could be an issue with LP if you experience it too.
[HTC EVO 3D] youdug:
Try adw. I personally recommend nova or apex though. Lp was my go to when i had a hero. Havent used lp in almost a year now.
[HTC EVO 3D] ZWYATT:
Yeah it's a LP bug. Does it real bad if you use the google search widgit. I've tried every launcher out there, and LP is still my favorite. So, hopefully it will get an update.

sudo passwd root
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowlers:
Mine GS3 is always connected the mobile networks with H - it will flick up to H+ is that is available. While the phone is dormant should it drop down to 3G to save power?

It doesn't, so I'm trying to work out it there is something syncing in the back ground keeping the H connection alive or if Fast Dormancy should be turned off.

Thanks

I'm on T-Mobile (UK)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Idle (fast dormancy) is a HSPA tech and thus does not drop out of Hspa - at least according to the graph; in reality the connection is cut.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowlers:
So this means it stays on H, but with no connection, it reconnects when it needs to?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigr1979:
I am on T-Mobile uk and am using the newest JB leak. Mine fluctuates between H and H+ when using data and shows 3g when data not being used.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowlers:
See this is what I thought should happen. Mine is just sitting here on H, doing nothing. I'm not too concerned, because battery is great, but I'd like to resolve it if I can!

thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
It just depends on your network & towers.

For years at home my Samsung phones (S1, S2 & now S3) have been on 3g when idle but over the last month it stays on H. This is due to a tower upgrade.

At a friends place it idles at H+ and at my parent's house it idles on 3g. So nothing to worry about.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSale:
slighlty off topic, but what speeds do you get whilst on H+, i get between 2 and 4 Mbps

Regards

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigr1979:
I normally can get 3 Mbps max, the upload is shocking though normally 400kbps max

Hi,

I'm flashing my Xperia s back to gb because of fast capture bug and would like your opinions.

Which version of gingerbread is the fastest and bug free?

Also, if anyone can upload it that will be great. I'm in the united states north America region.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
What fast capture bug? Mine works?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] YousifNael:
You must be kidding. , flash gingerbread? WHAT???

If u have any problems with ics, make sure you are on the latest build, and wait for updates .
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dmitrydn:
You will be laughing but one of the main purpose of the smartphone is to make a calls :)

In my case I have a problem with the main microphone - after some time of re-flashing to whatever ICS ROM the main microphone stop working - nobody hear me. There is corresponding tread on SONY support forum but I can wait forever so just yesterday I had to move back to GB.... :(

So I have to join this question. Any answer?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dpk1:
For me, the .75/.76 GB builds are the fastest & most bug free :good:! I've myself downgraded several times, but can tell you one thing though that this latest ICS (6.1.A.2.45) is much snappier, although buggy (i've got QL & BE bug on ICS)! Anyway, if you go back to GB you will have no QL/BE/deep sleep issues anymore :victory:!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
.75TW in my opinion
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MasterLinuxer:
To your question: I highly recommend the latest GB KA ROM.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lusterboi:
Many users don't notice but the latest ics still carries the quick launch bug, where it takes up to 2-3 tries to activate it from deep sleep. That was one of the main reasons I got this phone so back to gb for me.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dreamz0r:
Obviously this isn't a problem caused by custom ROMs. Send it in for repair or for a replacement instead of being stuck on GB.

Hey guys, I am running CM10 by Maclaw with Nims' Kernel. Today while charging my phone I saw that my battery percentage in the status bar went to 103%. Has anyone ever seen this happen to them or know why it has happened? I have a screenshot as proof of said problem.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] SFVDan:
I hate dongles. There, I said it. I. Hate. Dongles.

With the OTG capabilities and the enormous (relatively) storage capability of SD cards these days, it seemed that using a dongle with the N7 was inevitable. So I took the plunge and got one. But what to do about strain relief and <sigh> that damned floppy dongle getting in my way all the time?

I added Velcro strips to the case and to the dongle in order to keep it in place and out of my way when I was using it. Two wide strips on the back of the case, and one on the front provide more than adequate anchoring so that the N7 can sit on my desk in landscape mode AND hold the dongle in place and out of the way without a problem. It also keeps the mini USB socket from sustaining any damage from the dongle flopping around.

Here's the photos of what I did and I'm very satisfied with the end result.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Troute:
As long as it works for you :) admittedly otg cables and dongles are not very handy things, I'm sure someone could come up with an all in one solution that matches the base line of the tablet and looks like a short extension of it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] erica_renee:
No luck yet but im hopeful

I have send email and a small drawing to a hand full of connector design companies . Asking them about a ribbon like micro usb connector something that would be very slim low profile.. IF i get someone willing to make them . i will start a thread asking for those wanting a low profile usb otg to buy into getting the minimum made. Its like to be about 300 connectors at 25 cents to 1.00 each... There is a unlimited use for such a plug for this and other devices ..

Just thought i would add it as i see the stressful post .. I have a similar thing for my nexus Its ugly tacky and i do not like it .

[Nook Touch General] Tom Fagerland:
So, is NookTouchTools not available for GlowLight then?

Is there another simple way to change the hardware buttons?
[Nook Touch General] Tom Fagerland:
Bumpus?
[Nook Touch General] roustabout:
If you root with tinynooter instead of with glownooter you

- don't get the Android Market

- can use NTT to remap the hardware buttons

You still cannot remap the onscreen / BN function buttons (library, shop, etc.)

Basically, Tinynooter roots the device and does not suppor the android marketplace - the A market needs a fair amount of system modification to work.

The Amazon market does not require that, so I threw it into the tool.

Hmm... Rerooting would be a big operation, and I'm very happy with the Nook as it is, with the obvious exception of Kindle-buttons...

I'll try it later, have to do a complete backup and everything, and report back in a few days.

hi

when i connect my phone with usb to pc it could charje but pc not recognize my device even in boot screen and its not change from serial yo usb

i do this with another cable and pc but it doesnt work

whats the problem?

tnx
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
could be dirt in the usb slot

could be a faulty pin in the usb slot

could be a failing usb slot (fairly common fault that the usb slot starts to fail , lots of threads reporting it - pretty difficult to repair unless you're a dab hand with a soldering iron)

1st - test on another pc, just to check its not some weird driver issue

2nd - have a really really good look in the slot, dirt gets caked into the bottom, , personally ive cleaned mine with a paper clip in the past (gets pretty grotty in my usb slot, , i run a lawnmower as one of my jobs, , get pockets filled with grass and i dont use a phone cover), but they're sharp and metal so i cant strictly recommend it, a magnifying glass and bright light will help inspect it.

3rd - gently try a little upwards and downwards pressure, if the pc suddenly recognises it but then drops it again when you wiggle, its hardware.
[HD2 General] un4giv3nb0y:
i do all of these but it doesnt work

you know when i come to the bootloader and the connect the weird serial not changed to usb

but when in the first i connect the weird and then go to boot loader theres nothing in the white colour and when i diconnect the weird th serial is shown!
