Archidroid which host file to change for virtual host local network

Hi,

I am a happy Archidroid 2.3.5 stabel user. No problems, but hopefully a simple question. I have on my home network a website, which has a mobile version, which i want to visit with my phone. it has a local ipaddress like 192 - 168 - 1-12 and name: mysite-local

My goal is to enter: mysite-local into my phone browser, so it goes to my network computer on the same router 192- 168-1- 12 and opens this website. (By the way if I type in my phone browser: 192- 168- 1-12 / mysite-local / public i see the website. But now i want to use just "mysite-local" in the address bar of the phone browser.

I tried to change the hosts file on /system/etc on all the possible way's i can find on this website and google, but i keep getting "permission denied" after I remount the /system/ as RW. I have used Total Commander and Root Explorer to change it too, without success.

I have been succesfull to change the /system/archidroid/etc/hosts_adaway file and added "192 - 168- 1- 12 mysite-local"

rebooted the phone, but when I enter 'mysite.local' in my browser, it says: Server www- mysite- local not found.

Please advice. If you require more information, please let me know.

Thanks for you help.

(By the way, the spaces and - between the ip addresses are to get this post posted, because I am a new user, in real there are only dots without spaces)

It's a matter of taste. Both ArchiDroid are *the best* in terms of my ongoing development and features. In AD 1.X you get better battery life, less performance, less memory available, older android, and some Samsung features. In AD 2.X, you get worse battery life, more performance, more memory available, newer android and all Omni's goods baked in, f.e. recent OmniSwitch.

In general, I always suggest to try AD 1.X. AD 2.X is for people who know what to expect from AOSP. AOSP-based ROMs will never be as good as stock can be, due to lack of proprietary drivers. However as a developer, I obviously like AD 2.X more, even although I recommend AD 1.X.

Logging in to google store solves this issue for me, you can also try reboot afterwards or other vnc client.

Hey.

In your case, you can unlock hosts file through /system/archidroid/scripts/ArchiDroid_LockUnlockHosts.sh - then you can edit like usual.

Cheers.

Hi,

i've flashed AD 1 last experimental after full wipe w' recommended AROMA settings and i have warning massage: camera failed.

Any ideas how to fix it without reflashing AD with stock kernel and after that flashing boeffla.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Ask developer, sorry but the way of flashing stock and custom kernel is the same, so there must be a reason why stock one works and custom one doesn't.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kocetokostov:
I don't mean that flashing way is bad I just see some of sort suggestions in the thread. I don't even try such solution. That is why I ask pro developer. Actually I copy this zip from my phone to the other one on witch camera don't work. On my phone it is OK. I don't see reason 1zip works fine for one phone and not for another.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
I can't see a reason as well because I didn't face this problem, even after flashing custom kernel during flashing rom.

Solved: Change hosts file

Solution: Start terminal on your phone: type SU enter, cd system enter, cd archidroid enter, cd scripts enter and then

sh ArchiDroid_Adblock_LockUnlockHosts.sh [enter]

And the host file is unlocked. Then with ADB on your computer: (ROOT) : ADB pull /system/etc/hosts c:\temp [enter]

Then make the change in the hosts file on C:\temp.

After the change do :

ADB shell [enter] then

mount -o remount,rw /system

type: exit to exit shell then

ADB push c:\temp\hosts /system/etc [enter]

then to make the system read only again type

ADB shell [enter] then

mount -o remount,ro /system

and run the script again to lock the hosts file

sh ArchiDroid_Adblock_LockUnlockHosts.sh [enter]

and your are done. Thanks for the tip pointing to the nice script :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Hosts lock has been implemented only to stop AdAway and other awful adblocks from slowing down network through hosts file. One or two rules don't matter, but thousand of them do. If you know what you're doing you can modify hosts file as you want, but the whole point of adblock it to operate fast, instead of slowing down system by reading hosts file on every connection. Therefore I decided to block this file.

BTW, adding your rules to archidroid's adblock hosts (/system/archidroid/etc/hosts) also works, but you didn't reload adblock :).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeyoMx:
I'm the only one with this problem? I wonder if it has to do with adblock. any help will be appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
You can disable adblock and try... the whole point of implementing ArchiDroid backend is to allow you choose what to enable/disable from it. If you disable adblock completely through backend then it won't have ANY effect.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeyoMx:
thank you very much for responding, and try disabling adblock with the script and I still have the same result. I have tried several ways but can not find the solution. please help
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
So this is not adblock problem, if you've disabled adblock it can't make any difference anymore, it's not hard-built-in.

So what can be a problem then becouse i do stock firmware via odin to update all partitions and after that all versions AD 1x camera is not working at all. When i flash AD 2x camera works well.

I realy dont have idea what can make such problem. Definitly it is not the rom or the kernel or broken zip or something from side of flashing. Same zip is ok for another phone with same aroma settings. That says the problem is phone specific i dont have idea what couse it

What update-procedure do you guys use? I'd like to know how to make an update as smoothly as possible and not having to do everything from scratch. (as that would take a few hours to go through everything again...)

Currently on 1.7.5, but plan to update to latest tonight. I will of course do a full wipe install. But then what...?

I have Titanium Backup pro-version and have sceduled updates for data and apps done every night. Can I safely restore all these data and apps after I update the rom, or will this mess up newer app versions, different data structures etc?

What about all my settings in different apps, especially the dedicated customization apps provided with this rom, etc, etc...

So you power users out who already got a hang of the best procedure to do an update, could you please just write down some steps in how you do (and think/reason)? :angel:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
The point is - update mode usually works only on the same base and in 2.X. In 2.X update usually works well, in 1.X it's different, update mode usually doesn't work well :p.

This is because of different Sammy's base. You can't see a list of changes, only changelist. Sometimes it works quite well with update mode, even when jumping from one base to another, but usually you can face some issues, and this is sad.

The proper way recommended by me is:

1. Do a nandroid backup.

2. Flash new ArchiDroid with update mode (say Yes, try update on last question)

3. Check if it works properly, if not...

4. Restore nandroid backup.

5. Make proper backups if needed

6. Flash new ArchiDroid with install mode (say No, full wipe on last question)

7. Restore backups from TB after installation

Rule of thumb is, you can usually restore everything which is not provided with the rom itself, this includes third-party apps and their settings. Restoring Sammy's apps and settings can lead to problems, so if you want my advice, don't restore anything system-based.

First of all disable undervolting, see if it helps. You can also try other kernel.

Battery wlan drain

Hi Archi (and everyone), I am quite new in the mod world but i hope you can help me with my battery drain issue.

Everything started when I decided to move from Sammy 4.1.2 to CM 10.2 then CM 11.0 then CarbonRom (CM 10.2 based) and then ArchiDroid 2.3.4: simply my kernel decided to get crazy when connected to wifi and started to do wake almost.. ever :)

I attach some BBS logs that I've done on ArchiDroid 2.3.4 (now I've installed 2.3.5 wiping all data but I have the feeling that this problem, if it's a ROM problem has not really be solved). What is getting me annoyed is the wlan_wake wakelock.

I say in advance that I cannot access the router setup nor at my home nor at work and that drain issues are at least similar.

At first glance using various net spiffer like (Network Log or Network Connection) I believed that this drain was related to adding a Google Account on start so I decided to make a clean install of ArchiDroid with GApps but without adding the personal account.

Then I've add my account and (as you can see from log #1-2) the drain is almost the same (2.3%/h with Sync On, Data On).

Then I decided to do a clean install without GApps. But then the drain (log #3) is 2.2%/h.. come on, if GApps are draining 0.1%/h is COMPLETELY FINE :)

Then, hard testing, always without GApps installed I've disabled Wifi and Data (log #4, 0.1%/h) or just Wifi (log #5 0.2%/h) keeping data On.

Reasonable draining I would say.

In the last log (#6) I disabled the Sync and kept Wifi and Data on and the drain is still 1.9%/h.

I've read somewhere that the wlan_wake is related to the wifi network itself, but there MUST be some way to block incoming connection or to log this connection and see what is causing the issue. I tried to have a look at dumpsys of connectivity or the logcat but, to be honest, I'm not so skilled enough to take something useful from them.

Regarding the l2_hsic wakelock I really have no clue (someone the BBS thread has adviced me that it could be NFC On, but while disabling it I have seen no improvements).

I feel a bit tired, it is 2-3 weeks maybe that I'm changing mods/kernel/whatever without having any easy solution about this.

I've done plenty of network logs but there not seems to be a clear solution: sometimes all GApps are connected with the same number of packets, sometimes is the Kernel that connects to some strange port (already Disabled dropbox lan syncing indeed) but always for a number of packets that are less than the number of wake counts (wc) of the wlan_wake wakelock.

Before you ask me some questions, I answer in advance:

- Yes, before doing this testing on Archidroid mod I've done a full wipe and put 4.3 sammy roms with odin (the switzerland one released in mid january)

- Yes, I have updated to the latest modem (XXUMGK6)

- Yes, the position access in only with the GPS and not Wifi networks

I hope that you (or anyone else) could help me, I would be really glad.

Sound during calls very soft and not from internal ear speaker??

Hi All,

I have just flashed my S3 GT-I9300 with:

''Archidroid 3.1.3 Stable''

Kernel version ''3.0.31 ArchiKernel-gb2f88f5'',

''Android version 5.1.1''

''CynogenMod Version 12.1-20150828-UNOFFICIAL-i9300''

The rom is working fine except for during calls, its seem that the sound is very very soft... Upon closer listening inspection, the sound is actually coming from the rear speaker very very softly and not through the normal front side ear speaker??

If i turn on speaker phone, the sound becomes louder as it would normally when putting speakerphone on.

Has anyone had this problem with very very soft call volume and is their any way i can get it to work normally?

Many Thanks

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] podgorsek:
1. flash stock rom - via odin

2. flash CWM - via odin

3. flash new recovery from Archidroid V3.1.3 (it's an option during aroma installer) - via recovery installer

4. install ArchiDroid V3.1.3 - via recovery

if you skip step 1. you might expirience bugs and problems.. It is very suggested to flash stock rom first! :)

Have you installed new recovery TWRP from archi installer? You have an option on the beginning.. You have to do that first, you cannot install it through CWM, but you need CWM to run Archis Aroma installer and then install TWRP (which is like I'm saying, included in Archi V3.1.3) and then you'll be able to install new ROM.

Hello,

can not confirm:

I am on AD 3.1.3 with Nova 4.0.2 and checked CPU states with AIDA64.

Btw I am using Kernel Boeffla 4.0 Alpha 12 U600 version from ZaneZam and Default profile.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalakisgr:
after clearing cache and data for nova launcher it runs smoothly again.

however, my main concern with Archidroid 3.1.3 is that it lags too much some times. For example when i long press the home button for the recents some times it takes many seconds to respond...similarly with the back button or when i open the phone dialer.

the previous version 3.1.1 was running perfectly, very smoothly and had only minor lags very occasionally. I updated it using OTA a couple of weeks ago and until then the phone lads too much many times.

I restored my S3 to stock with Odin.

If I restored stock, can I root my phone again?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] podgorsek:
You did everything correct.

Now just flash new CWM recovery over stock rom (if you haven't already),

Then run AD v3.1.3 from CWM and during installation, on the beginning you will notice there is an option to install TWRP recovery and install it (before installing ArchiDroid!, but yet within AD Aroma installer).

Then after another reboot to new TWRP recovery, just simply install AD v3.1.3 :)

And don't forget, your phone will be automatically rooted during installation of AD v3.1.3, so you have to do nothing else on your own ;) (you will notice during installation options, there is also a root option which is checked by default).
