Hulu Plus update

Thanks for all your work! Any way you can get this to work so that the latest update for Hulu Plus works and that we aren't stuck on an older Hulu Plus version?
[Android Apps and Games] Komadyret:
Can't get this to work, it seems.

Here are the errors I'm getting.

Root seems to work, as Titanium Backup and root-explorer works flawlessly.

Any hints, tips or outright help with this?

Thanks in advance.

Seems more like a system partition / mmcblk allocation problem. Occurs in case you've flashed a new stock firmware (with newer /different hboot/partitions) over a non standard / CM partitions.... The app cannot find the system partition, to write the hosts file..... Try clean install of the ROM, root and install the app again. This happened to me when the hboot of my inc s changed from 1.xx to 2.xx with changes in mmcblk allocations for /system, /data and /cache partitions on the Incredible S.

Does this app show an empty black box where the ads would usually show up, or does it completely kill the box?
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
AdFree, more precisely the host file, blocks the ad URL.

The screen space originaly used to display the ad is managed by the "client" app.

Usualy, this space is reserved by the developer and is left black or with the background color of the app itself.
[Android Apps and Games] Komadyret:
I took the rooted HTC One, restored the stock recovery, applied the latest OTA, rooted the phone again, installed cwm recovery and uninstalled the old adfree and installed the latest one.

[Android Apps and Games] Cookie Ninja:
[MENTION=1561860]delta_foxtrot2[/MENTION],

Just a small query:

Can you use the blacklists submitted by registered users of Adfree on the BigTinCan server, and create yet another hostfile list as 'Submitted by users', and parse / scan it for false-positives and legitimate websites, so that the same can be an 'exclusive' for Adfree users to subscribe to? Thanks....

I'm also getting a java error when attempting to download the host files. It is a different one from [MENTION=4545994]brGabriel[/MENTION]'s. Because the error contains a url, and I have zero posts, I cannot type out the error. Therefore I'm attaching a screenshot as well.

[Android Apps and Games] ashouhdy:
One BIG question never asked before.

Please reply deeply important.

Does the Adfree block google cloud messaging ports required with antivirus apps. As avast.

Location data cant be retrived by avast antitheft as it says ports are blocked so it cant send cloud messages.

Sorry if its a noob question. And I need to know.
[Android Apps and Games] scotyard:
Thanks. Adfree isn't working on timesofindia app.
[Android Apps and Games] delta_foxtrot2:
AdFree redirects connections for known hostnames usually to the phone itself. It isn't a firewall app and it can't block packets.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GalaxyWide:
I apologize in advance for asking what are, I’m sure, obvious questions, but I’m new at all this (started today actually).

Hardware/software state:

AT&T One X

ViperXL 3.2.7

Rooted, bootloader unlocked via this thread

Running TWRP 2.5.0.0

Flashed the boot.img that came with ViperXL, as per this post

Hboot 1.14

First, my question is how do I get the OTA update to 3.2.8? I went into settings->about and found the update, downloaded it, but when I tried to run it I just end up in TWRP. I’m guessing I need to get back to the stock recovery, is there a way to do that without erasing everything?

Second, should I be concerned with flashing radios, kernels or (I think) hboot? Will flashing any of these items erasing everything? I’m not even sure which radio I’m on, but up until today my phone has been current on AT&T.

Third, what is the "WiFi partions update"? What does this do? Ought I to have it?

I have done hours of searching, but I can’t seem to find a straight forward answer to this. If I’ve missed something and this has already been answered, a link to the post would be great and much appreciated!

Thanks for the help!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Poetique:
1. The device is supposed to go to TWRP to install the update. No, nothing should be erased.

2. Sounds like you're a little too new to things to be flashing radios, kernels, and possibly even ROMs, but since you're already past that step, just tread carefully until you learn a few more things.

3. Maybe, maybe not. If you're not having any issues, don't bother. If you are have issues, try it out.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GalaxyWide:
Thanks for the quick reply!

Ok, if it is supposed to go to TWRP for the update, what do I do once it’s there? All it appears to do is dump me at the TWRP home screen (options for install, backup, recover, etc..) and then does nothing.

Thanks for the advice; as long as they aren’t really necessary I’ll hold off for now on doing anything further, see if I can’t avoid breaking anything :).

Well, I’m not having any WiFi issues, so I’m going to leave it like it is.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
First I think you'll need to move the OTA zip file out of /system and onto your sd card. Use a file explorer (which has root access, I use Solid Explorer, there are also others like ES File Explorer, and Root Explorer) and navigate to /system/cache (I'm pretty sure that's where OTAs are stored once downloaded, someone correct me if I'm wrong), cut the file and navigate back to your sd card and paste it somewhere you'll remember.

Now reboot into TWRP.

Once you're in TWRP, select the wipe button, this will take you to the wipe menu. Now wipe cache, and dalvik cache. Now hit the little home button in the bottom left corner of your screen, this will take you back to the home screen.

Now you hit the install button. It will then take you to a screen which shows your sd card. Find the OTA zip file and select it. Then swipe to install. Once it has finished installing you can choose to wipe cache/dalvik again (I always do this to be safe). Then just hit the reboot system button and it should boot up into your newly updated ROM.

One thing though: you really need to do some reading, you haven't got the faintest clue about any of this obviously. You would benefit greatly from reading and actually learning about messing around with your device. Going into these kinds of things ignorantly is very dangerous, you could easily brick your phone. I'm not trying to be mean, just telling you how it is. We all gotta start somewhere, just make sure you take the right steps and get a good understanding of all this :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GalaxyWide:
That was what I was assuming I should do, but I was unsure if it would overwrite anything important that way. It actually seems to download the update to /sdcard/downloads (or it did that the first time I ran it). Good tip about wiping the caches though, I’ll remember that.

Turns out that I actually didn’t need to do all this after all…I deleted the OTA file and tried running it again, and low and behold it decided to work! I swear I didn’t do anything different, but I’d been messing with it for a while after I tried it the first time, maybe I changed something relevant (though I was mostly just tweaking sense to how I wanted it)

I have actually done a great deal of reading and looking around, but I’m still struggling to keep all the various version numbers and terms straight. I really appreciate the advice, and I’ll be doing more research in the future (mainly to discover what the other things that aren’t ROM’s do).

Thanks for the help all!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] The_Zodiac:
It wasn't showing up because turge forgot to change something. It should be showing up now.

If not just download it, flash it like normal and reboot.

No need to wipe anything
[Xperia Z General] decadan1977:
Have owned this handset for over a month. And well I love it more than ever. All to many people are over critical of speakers,the screen viewing angles(you should be locked up for viewing your phone side on by the way).. But anyway Sony have done a brilliant job designing and manufacturing such a beautiful handset that is WATER RESISTANT. Look at the majority of WATER RESISTANT handsets that have came before. They contain more rubber than a condom factory. On the speaker side of things most people want to much. I can hear my phone ring is thats it's primary function. Some speakers are bigger and louder but I'm sure that is down to the WATER RESISTANT ability of the phone. If I want to listen to music then I either use headphones or Jack it into my amp. I may just be easily pleased. But even comparing with my wife's S4 I still prefer this handset. By no means is it perfect. But the imperfections I can live with. The perfect handset has never or will never be created. Everything can be improved.Just my honest opinion.
[Xperia Z General] akuma2012:
The gimmick of water proofing can only go so far. If your coming from a premium device such as a Note II then you will be soley dissapointed with the camera lag, ui lag, sony's budget screen tech, annoying FLAPS, non removable anaemic battery etc.

Why does sony insist on giving its flagship phones such piss poor tft panels?
[Xperia Z General] decadan1977:
Hardly a gimmick. Considering it was the deciding factor why I got it. I'm mounting bike nut. So I spend a lot of time on hills. So having a phone that works when it's wet is a plus and potentially a life saver. Where exactly is the gimmick in that? The camera lag is sorted by using nova launcher and running the camera as a shortcut in the activities tab. Opens almost instantly. The screen issue are you talking about viewing angles. Again why look at the thing side on. White balance again has a fix. What Sony don't do straight out of the box. The great devs on this great forum always find a way.
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
If you are happy with your note2 why you keep checking Xperia Z forum ;)
[Xperia Z General] OsiBasi:
A gimmick is useless content that just acts cool. IP57 is a life saver. The s4 has gimmicks like the eyescroll function.

It's cool at first but after a while you'll start thumbscrolling like everyone else.

I've gotta agree though - The Z has it's flaws There's no lag like you say... But a few small glitches and over processing camera (It's still better than the HTC one anyway.)
[Xperia Z General] xchasa:
What ever mate ;)

It has been a pleasure to ditch the SGS3, HTC One X and Nexus 4 to use the Xperia Z. Still have the GS3 and One X sitting in my drawer. Sold the N4 a week after I got it in December for a profit! After reading all the negative reviews, thought I might regret my purchase. Not a chance. SIM hasn't left the Z.

The ONLY time I've needed to remove a battery is ironically on Samsung devices when they freeze up every other day lol.

Not one reboot, freeze or ISSUE with this Sony device.

Next.
[Xperia Z General] akuma2012:
The mere existence of threads like these occur when a significant amout of users are dissatisfied with a product. You wont find such dissatisfaction on the note II forum. I am trying to guide you to the right direction.

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

Ultimately you can get a case for a phone which will protect it against the elements. If sony wanted to make the feature useful it should have made the phone chargable by using a mat so that the flaps did not have to keep being opened.

---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

While I agree that the gs4 has alot of gimmicks samsung should be praised for at least innovating and try new things. Give me an improving eye scroll abillity anyday over ugly plastic flaps.

[Xperia Z General] Akiainavas:
Note 2 ? A Premium device ? Seriously ? With it's burn-in susceptible grainy screen, cheap plastic build that actually bends under your finger and squeeks when you squeeze it ? With defective eMMC chip resulting in few hundreds random brick even here on XDA, sudden death, exynos abuse and abysmal software with no sources, bugs impossible to solve by devs and stock UI that fits a kindergarten toy, but certainly not a high-end smartphone ?

Sorry for this rant, but I've owned Note 1 and 2 and was hugely disappointed to see that Note 1's problems not only didn't get solved, but actually more of them appeared and Samsung did NOTHING to solve them, and that was a real pain for me as Galaxy Note was probably my biggest love in smartphones world since the original iPhone.

Anyway, on the topic, water resistance is not a gimmick. The fact that you don't really need it - doesn't mean it's a gimmick. It's a very useful feature helping to save your phone from death as well as giving you a peace of mind while using your phone in the rain etc. I won't comment the rest, because yes, camera has lag, the ui lags sometimes - but if you're saying that this is a disappointment after Note 2, then there's no point in discussion...

Second part - I've spent a LOT of time in Note 2 forums and the level of dissatisfaction was enormous... especially with sudden death issues, exynos bug, devs moving away from Samsung devices, note 2 never getting stable release of CM ( like Note 1 ), some bugs that will never get fixed etc.

Back to discussion with actual XZ owners - did you have any problems with WiFi performance ? Mine performs terrible but I have an engineer appointment to get a Superpowered Fibre set up - they'll give me a new router and I hope it might solve it as many people said this ( new router ) solved their problems. Any experiences in this area ?

Hi to all,

i just modified my tomtom holder for Xda2, connect pin for microphone audio left and right and car on swith.

anyone knows where is the digital audio ground for audio out pins? using connectors page on this site i found only the positive audio out, the same problem for microphone in.

Another question: does the car_on switch works? what's happen to that pin when i make or receive a call? does it switch to ground? or to +5v?

Strange, it formatted /mnt/sdcard? I'm currently running the same ROM, and it didn't format the internal SD on mine.

Some of the internal SD card is partitioned for the system to use, so the user can't get the full 16 gb.

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

My suggestion is to make sure you use the external SD so when you wipe before flashing a ROM you can always take it out to be safe.
