XDA has not deleted the host file which the OP linked to.

All these "xda rules" discussion was caused only by misinterpretation of our forum rules and even prolonged after my clarification several post earlier. If anyone is still in doubt, I will politely ask you to take this discussion in a pm with me. I will be more than happy to take this further with my fellow Senior Moderators and Admins.

So, this thread was only a "trick" a user shared to block ads in windows, just like the same "trick" we have for android and has been known to us for years now.

This is permitted, allowed and will remain so until further notice.

Have a good day!

I've been looking forward to do this as well. Mainly to allow the watch to have some stand alone functionality on it's own.

I tested adb install on my S3, and it resulted in the icon appearing in the app drawer. Was going to try this tonight, first app being the Cyanogen Calculator app. Not sure if this helps but do keep us appraised on how things goes on you end :D

This isn't a thread to debate whether or not to use a screen protector or which is best. I just wanted to pass along some information. I used the just like glass protector on my note 2. So I contacted Scott and asked if they were making them for the note 3. He said they would be out soon. So if you like that protector it won't be long.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorgemuela:
Hey there Xda people.

I dont know if this was already answered (i searched and found nothing). Why the WiFi signal is poor on EVERY custom rom?. I know that the developers makes its best with his custom roms and I love that, but why the WiFi is horrible in custom roms that in stock?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leraeniesh:
I've actually experienced significant better WiFi reception on CM10.1 than on Stock 4.1.2

EX. With CM, I'm able to receive a signal on my deck, with good speeds as well, while I simply cannot receive a signal on stock.

Does anyone else experience this?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorgemuela:
One of the updates that Verizon made to Stock was increase the range of the Wifi. Maybe you didnt install that update while using stock.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
The reason stock runs better... Well... Sometimes runs better... Is because the kernel is being developed by people with more inside access than any custom ROM dev could ever have (with the exception of that whole Oppo+CM thing...), and they're getting paid to work 8 hours a day to develop it well. Since the ROM devs don't have access to the inside kernel data, they basically have to make a graceful hack. Which sometimes doesn't work well. FWIW, I have perfectly fine WiFi access on custom ROMs, not enough of a difference to notice.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justchillin2013:
My WiFi has been better on 4.3 over stock. Gaming is a huge improvement over stock. I will never go back.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ms2knights:
The battery in my Amaze 4G had gone bad. After full charge it would barely last a half hour, and took forever to charge. So I bought a new battery, and put it in the phone. It powered on to the T-mobile 4G screen, and then turned off. My problem now is, the phone won't power up, and when I plug it in the charger, I get nothing, no LED charging light, nothing. It won't even power on. It's completely dead. Even when I put the old battery in, I get the same result, nothing, where as, everything worked before I put in this new battery. I really need help on this, and I hope someone can help me out on this. Thanks.

Xposed Module Fails on Tmobile SM-N900T (Note 3)

I have tested this module on my Note 3. It fails when I attempt to register my Isis wallet, with the error "cross MNO not supported". My guess is that this patch module is VZW-specific, and as such fails on T-Mobile, which is of course a different Mobile Network Operator.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] amendolaro1:
install xposed framework, and then this apk (https://www.dropbox.com/s/46c8p4kpbmhkbeh/com.isis.bypass.root.apk) click install, reboot. go back into exposed and click on modules, and click the one that was installed. reboot. presto! ISIS works
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dark77star:
Able to use a different method

I was able to use an Xposed framework tool called "RootCloak" to do the trick. Then I signed up for Isis with a different email address. Evidently, the email address you sign up with is associated to the carrier you are using at the time, so if you switch carriers (e.g. AT&T to VZW, VZW to T-Mobile, etc.) it won't let you use your original Isis account.

Thank you for the information anyway!

I just updated To 4.3 watched it update and install but it still says this
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] smokinmoses:
How big was the file?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jayhawkX:
565.7MB!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] dark2099:
My guess you deferred installing the update, try going back to software update and see what it says.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] snorkle:
It's was like 260, or so ? I tried going back it says no new updates so...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] RourkeSwift:
Same thing here. Strange. Spent 4-5 hours trying to OTA it yesterday, postponed the install a couple times until just now, and after doing its thing I'm still 4.1.2.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] snorkle:
I dont want to lose everything though and do it manually
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ExcelonGT:
I'm having the same experience
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] david98116:
I am also having this issue. Downloaded the update (took forever), installed the update while connected to power, rebooted and Voila!.....nothing. I went back into about phone and nothing changed. Even worse, now it says my software is up to date. What a let down as I've been waiting for this for awhile :rolleyes:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jc2470:
I just checked and updated downloaded the 567 mb or whatever, and mine says 4.3 no problems at all. I checked for update under about menu and said no updates available, then checked under the att update and it said one was ready for d/l, not sure which u guys did it under.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Shinryuu:
The same thing happened for me yesterday. I did a software check from ATT on my phone and it said I had an update that was around 246Mb I think, downloaded it at the speed of molasses, installed it and nothing updated. I ended up having to jump my phone's date ahead 2 days and check for an update before it said I had one at 564Mb to download and install. After that I was at 4.3.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] RourkeSwift:
Little update: I did a factory reset then tried updating again, and that time I got the full 500+ meg download and am now running 4.3. So if you're stuck doing the OTA and it says you're up to date with 4.1.2, maybe do a factory reset and try again.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] z3ddicus:
So, I think what's happening here is that there are a total of 3 updates needed. The first is only like 20 MB, the second is the 246 MB one that others have mentioned and then the final update is the 565 MB update that actually brings you up to 4.3. It seems that either AT&T or HTC has set a requirement that several days have to pass after installing one update, before it will allow the next one to install. So, I was initially told there was an update for my yesterday. I chose to update and it downloaded a 20 MB update that installed. Then when I checked the version and saw that it hadn't changed, I checked to see if there was another. After reading Shinryuu's comment, I manually changed the date on my phone 2 days forward and was then able to download the 246 MB update. I then checked again and the version was still 4.1.2. I then checked for another update and nothing. Then I manually changed the date on my phone forward another couple days and now I am downloading the 565.7 MB final update.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] snorkle:
Yea correct that 246mb update didn't do much, but mine would say it was up to date, jump the time a day on my phone and I tried it again and said it was up to date BUTTT after I hit ok the download thing poped up and started downloading the 560 mb one.. kinda odd but it's 4.3

So can't really complain

[HTC Amaze 4G] 92drls:
My buddy handed me his Amaze to unroot and get back to stock so he could give to his mom. I used the All-in-One kit to relock the bootloader and flash the "mainver fix" and followed the instructions step by step to get back to stock but am now stuck. When I try to install the stock RUU it says the hboot version is older and asks if I want to reboot. Ok, so I tried flashing a newer version of Hboot and am now on 1.93.0002 but same outcome. Now, even worse, I can't get to recovery nor will it let me flash an img to get a recovery in place so I only have the bootloader now. It see's the IMG and loads it but doesn't ask to accept the update like it normally would. No matter what I name it, nothing loads or flashes. Whats the next step?
[HTC Amaze 4G] vgs929:
Have you tried using adb to flash the ruu?
[HTC Amaze 4G] 92drls:
Yeah I was at work and didnt have ADB setup on my comp. Went home and used ADB and was fine, thanks for the reminder!

In case anyone ever stumbles onto this issue, this is what you need to do.

Go to your ADB folder in your C drive and paste the RUU file. Name it something easy to type, in my case I changed it to " PH98IMG ". Then, open a command prompt and type EXACTLY as follows:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip filename.zip (example: fastboot flash zip PH98IMG.zip)

When its finished:

fastboot reboot

Boom, back to stock. Only thing I can think of is make sure you have a charged battery and the phone placed somewhere to where it wont become unplugged or the battery fall out as that could easily brick your device..

To mods. I have posted the same message in "Android Development and Hacking > Android Apps and Games > [GUIDE] How to edit build.prop on any Android device!". Please handle it as you wish. Sorry for the double post.

Hi all!

I have a Nexus 4 running on PAC (Android 4.2.2).

I have edited the build.prop file (so that it shows as a Note2, and it worked just fine), but before that I had taken a copy of the original one in one file (lets call it copyNexus...but the name is still build.prop), and a copy of the edited file (lets call it copyNote...still same name).

I used the edited file for some time, but now I wanted it reverted back to the original settings.

Once I set copyNexus in /system/ and overwrote the edited file, I rebooted my phone and after the Google logo it just goes blank.

I booted through TWRP recovery to set it back to copyNote through the file manager, but still the problem is the same.

Any suggestions?

Would an installation of PAC fix it?

It is crucial that I do not format everything as I 1st need a backup (I know. Bad thing that I thought this AFTER the catastrophe...)

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topgeardave:
Extract the original copy from the .zip file and save it on the root of your sd card. Then download aroma file manager and delete the build.prop and copy over the one you've just extracted. If that doesn't work, take a nandroid and flash the original rom and gapps without wiping cache or dalvik or anything else. If that doesn't work, you'll have to start again from scratch

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] neemo6:
Im on stock rom and rooted. I have Wi-fi tether app with the trevE mod. Now that Im no longer on unlimited data with Verizon I have to pay attention to my data usage. Ive been on 5gb plan since February, I use wi-fi when available, but since I travel I use my wi-fi tether to tether my laptop. I dont download big files, mainly browsing and watch some videos while tethered. Every month I have to cut back towards the end of the month as I get close to my limit allowed. Last few months I have tried to figure out exactly what is my most data usage on. When I know I have a trip coming up I try to save data to use on a trip. Last month I was at about 2gb in the last week of my cycle so I figured I had plenty of data to tether to my laptop. I was on for about 30minutes when I get an alert on my phone that I have exceeded 75% of my data usage. I thought this was strange as now way I could've used that much data in that amount of time. So kept on tethering for about another 10 minutes when I get another alert saying 90% of data use. In about 40 minutes I went through about 2.5gb of data! I did not download any files or stream any movies or music. I was on one website and watched 2 10 minute flash type videos (www.railsforzombies.org) was what I was doing. The data usage info on the phone does not list wi-fi tether data as being used shows all other native apps that used data for the cycle. I would like to know how the wi-fi tether app or other wi fi tether apps handle data as opposed to how the phone on its own handles data for usage? How could I go through so much data being tethered in such a short time for only 2 videos essentially? Does Verizon do something to data usage if going through a tether app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] neemo6:
Anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
When I've used the built in tethering, it shows up under its own listing in the data usage field. Since you're on a tiered data plan, there shouldn't be any reason to try and skirt around built in tethering as your plan should include tethering for free. I'd guess that what happened is that however the alternative tether apps get around the provisioning, it also skirts around data usage reporting in some way, though I'm not sure how.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] neemo6:
My main concern though is why the spike in data usage? Does the data sent to a laptop get counted or marked as used data multiple times during the interaction of a laptop and the Wi-Fi tether?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fasterfoxy:
Hi dear experts,

Wondering if someone can suggest me if there is any way to recover some picture files from encrypted SD Card.

The issue is that I'm having some problems with my phone connecting to the cell towers and I was trying to show to the Samsung tech support remotely, he ask me to factory reset the phone and I forgot that the SD card was also encrypted with some pictures that I'd like to save.

I red somewhere that some phones or Android versions use the Serial number + the encryption PIN to encrypt the storage, so I encrypt again the phone using the same PIN, then format the SD card, encrypt the SD card and then copy the files from my backup folder in my PC putting the SD card in my PC, copy the files on the PC then install in the phone but still the files are not able to decrypt.

The phone is using the latest standard Tmobile ROM 4.1.2.

Thanks in advance.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] vanisleguy1976:
I'm pretty livid about what tapatalk has done (and there are now nearly 3,000 others who have rated the free application one star!)

What really bothers me is that tapatalk actually lied to me in an email when I complained to them about having to pay again for pro:

" If the app told your out-of-date, it means you are running a beta version( maybe you do not aware it)

Tapatalk is all free now, no more paid version, please just download from playstore and using it."

(Excuse the grammar, that isn't me, it's a cut and paste)

I responded that there was, indeed, a new paid version in the market, and I'd appreciate an explanation, thus far I've received no response.

It's really sad! I'm just not impressed with such a horrible business practice.

[HTC Rezound] nastarius:
I know why 4.1 but wasn't sure if it would be more stable than 4.2
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
That would be anything based off CM10 if I remember correctly.

CM10 - 4.1

CM10.1 - 4.2

CM10.2 - 4.3
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
To be honest, if you are looking for the MOST stable non-stock ROM, look into CM9 based ROMs, they are based on ICS and are as close to the stock ROM as possible at the source level.

Really though, the current 4.3 ROMs seem more stable for most people than 4.1 or 4.2 based ROMs. I have been running CarbonROM for two days without a single hiccup at all, most 4.1 or 4.2 ROMs would random reboot occasionally.
