[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
The reason AdAway does that on newer android versions (some 4.3 roms and most all 4.4) is because of SELinux. If you change it to permissive, the Hosts file applies perfectly. Do so at your own risk, but I can't stand having it on my phone. Blocks too many fun things.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I just got a new app that I have to use every day and it places ads right above the keyboard. Was definitely not going to deal with that **** every day it was really distracting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
That's ridiculous. Not that you have to use the app, of course, but wtf...on top of the keyboard? Do they have a donate version that is ad-free at least? Not everyone has the option to root and disable them. What app is it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's not on TOP of the keyboard but directly above it. So when you're entering text input and trying to read what you wrote there's a blaring ad right below your text.

Incredibly obnoxious. The app is called "Awoken" and it's when you make a new entry in the dream journal: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lucid_dreaming.awoken
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Ah ok. Well, at least you can opt out of them buy purchasing the premium version of it. I'd probably just do the AdAway option too, but the premium version does have the dark theme which would probably make it worth it to me. I much prefer white text on black backgrounds.

What also works for me is the same steps but just change to read-write and then apply adaway
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geforce256:
Still having problems - you can try this

Had the same issue on my HTC Desire running 4.4.2 OmniRom by Spezi77

I followed all the steps outlined in the OP, but still Adaway was stuck while applying the host file

Finally, managed to get it to work :) by disabling the toast notification for Adaway in SuperSU.

The original solution has been posted here (towards the end)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilogana:
On step 3: Using Explorer, I don't have a Permissions option when I select my hosts file. I also couldn't find an alternative File Manager with that option and I can't figure out why it isn't available for myself.

I know I'm probably missing something obvious here. Any ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geforce256:
I installed root explorer -free version just to reprodcue your problem. Yes, I get the same on step 3 - it only shows the properties of the host file. I think this is partly because the program does not ask for root permissions. With SuperSu i couldn't manually grant root permissions to it.

I would suggest you to use "ES file explorer" instead. When you open this program, access the left menu. Open tools and scroll down to find root explorer option. Now in the app click on the button next to it to switch it on. The program will now ask for root permissions from your super user program. Grant there rights. Then you have to click on the word root explorer and you will get a popup menu. In this menu you have to next to the /system select RW option. This will allow you to make changes to system.

Now close this left menu, and navigate to the hosts file and set the permissions. When you long press on the file you will get similar options as listed in the original post.

You can switch off the root explorer option when you are done.

Hey everyone, I tried the instructions here using both Root Explorer and ES Explorer but similar message on both explorers.

On Root Explorer "Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems (e.g. SD card) do not allow permission changes

Permission rewritten on reboot

Changing the permissions for the hosts file worked great but the permissions get reset back to the original ones after a reboot. Is there any way to prevent them from being rewritten?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d8v8n8:
I applied to the letter the tutorial using FX Explorer. The permissions are applied correctly and stuck even after rebooting. However, AdAway still fails to update the hosts file. I have a Lenovo P780, with KingUser (as rooting app), Jelly Bean 4.2.1. What else can I try?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] LordKoga:
Ok so I just switched to CleanRom V2.0 and seems pretty awesome but how do I get rid of the extra home back and menu buttons the AOSP launcher insists on putting on my screen......??? Anyone know if there is a good battery themer module in xposed that works with CleanROM? How about BinDroid Kernel? I tried it on stock and it seemed very unstable I was using V3 of that, is it any better in CleanROM?

EDIT:

I found a solution for the on screen buttons without reflashing!!!

In build prop change the qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to 1 as well as the default value to 1.

#Softkeys Mod

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 No more on screen keys!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandyiscool:
Hi,

I searched for the topic in the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 forum but could not find a suitable thread. So I thought I will ask this question in a separate thread.

I want to know if BLE (bluetooth low energy/bluetooth smart) is supported on Galaxy S I9000. I am running SuperNexus build 1.1 ROM (KK 4.4.2). Do I need any separate binaries or is there any flashable zip which will make BLE work on the device (provided the device's bluetooth chip supports BLE) ?

As I found out from other resources, kernel version 3.4 or later is required to support BLE but, all the current kernels for galaxy s are based on the 3.0 series. Is there a 3.4 kernel which supports a KK 4.4.2 ROM on this device ?

If this question is not relevant in this forum, please feel free to move it to the relevant forum and let me know.

Thanks :)

[HTC One X+] Nilpo:
I have an AT&T HOX+ running stock. It's unlocked via HTC and rooted. I cannot download any OTAs. I learned the hard way that you cannot download OTAs if you have any stock apps disabled so I've re-enabled them. Now it goes through the motions and finds the update, but when I connect to Wifi all I see is a blank message as seen in the attached screenshot.
[HTC One X+] droids@m:
Maybe Unroot and try.......
[HTC One X+] ryandroid226:
You must first flash the stock recovery and then relock bootloader using the command "fastboot oem lock" in fastboot. The stock recovery.img can be flashed using the fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" where "recovery.img" is replaced with whatever your recovery name is and .img. Make sure you flash the recovery before relocking. Root should not mess up the update although you will lose root after the update. I updated while the device was still rooted!
[HTC One X+] Nilpo:
Is there a way to unroot without losing data? I haven't found one yet.
[HTC One X+] Nilpo:
So there's no way to update and run a custom recovery? If I have to relock the bootloader, I can't unlock again without factory wiping.

Why can't HTC just get the bluetooth right from the start? How did they even release a phone when BT doesn't work?
[HTC One X+] ryandroid226:
It's not the unrooting that will cause you to lose any data or other content on your device. It is the re-unlocking of the bootloader or the running of a RUU. AFAIK, there is no way to keep your device contents while you update the radio and hboot. The only option is to backup contents of SD, backup apps using Google or TiBU, and backup sms and call log. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is how it goes. With that being said, it is not mandatory that you upgrade the radio/hboot in order to install a ROM that is sense 5/JB 4.2.2. There are already ROM's out there for AT&T built on this base
[HTC One X+] droids@m:
Yeah u can unroot using SuperSU App itself from the setting choose Full Unroot........

Unintsall all the root Apps too since it unnecessary to have then without root.......

Flash the Stock recovery and relock the bootloader and then check for updates.....:good:
[HTC One X+] Nilpo:
If I unroot and install the OTA, and then unlock the bootloader again, with it keep the updated firmware or drop back to factory?

If I'm going through all this trouble, maybe I should be looking at a custom ROM. Any suggestions for a Sense 5 one built on AT&T? I haven't seen one for this phone.
[HTC One X+] droids@m:
The unlocking will wipe ur Storage.....but u ll have the update of 4.2.2..

there are few Custom ROMS with Sense 5 u can go through this Forum
[HTC One X+] ryandroid226:
If you update via the OTA then your factory firmware WILL be updated. Maybe you can request that a dev make a ROM that is stock and rooted sense5/JB 4.2.2, you might grab the interest of someone.. That way you could have a "stock" image of the ROM and avoid the radio/hboot upgrade. Otherwise, you will just have to go through the update process, wiping your device. IMO, backing everything up is not too painstaking and it is a good practice to do this periodically anyways. Just my .02!
[HTC One X+] Nilpo:
Backing up isn't too difficult on JB. I've done it manually as well as with Helium and other apps throughout the rooting/experimenting process. It's been my experience that those app backups don't restore properly and I'm left starting over anyway. The issues could be app specific, but I honestly don't remember which apps didn't work now.

Of course, I suppose it's all a small price to pay to have a phone that actually works when I connect my BT headset.
[HTC One X+] mrbillishere:
Where does one find the stock recovery?

I hope this isn't silly, but I've been running custom recovery forever and I'm blanking as to where to locate/d-load the stock recovery.

thanks!
[HTC One X+] Nilpo:
Not sill at all. I have an image that I believe is the stock recovery, but how can I be sure?
[HTC One X+] mrbillishere:
OK, well after dusting off the cobwebs and reading some threads for the Intl version I learned this... the stock firmware will also contain the radios and stock recovery. So now I'm looking for the correct firmware to match my phone's CID and Modelid. The command to dump these variables out is 'fastboot getvar all'

My AT&T OneX+ reported this:

(bootloader) modelid: PM6310000

(bootloader) cidnum: CWS__001

There's a txt file in the firmware.zip that will contain a list of the applicable CID numbers the firmware can apply to. Evidently since our phones are S-on an entry in the list must correspond to the device's reported CID.

So now I'm searching for an updated firmware.zip

You can't flash a boot.img via sideload and you can't flash a boot.img via adb. Has to be with fastboot.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

---------- Post added at 02:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 AM ----------

Your boot.img is most likely fine, you just need to restore your system partition. Did you make a backup of your device using your custom recovery? If so, then you need to restore using that backup. Otherwise, I can provide a link to either my TWRP backup (not CWM compatible), an RUU, or my deodexed Rom. Your choice. First, if you already have a backup made up, then apply it. Otherwise, let me know.

Just a pointer from someone who used to use CWM if you flash twrp recovery its a lot cleaner, with more options than CWM. since your going back stock I would recommend flashing twrp recovery in place of CWM
[HTC One SV] angelus9151:
Thank you I'm going to give it a try.
[HTC One SV] angelus9151:
I had TWRP on before CWM but even when i would load that it would still bootloop thats why i used CWM. Just one question if i want to root it again without a system control app this time will i be able to use this exe file to restore it if it happens again. it took me a year before i tried it because the first time there was no roms and i bootlooped that HTC one SV and had to fork over $300.00 bucks for a new one but i figured that i would root it because of busybox.

Again Thanks...Your a life saver if this works.I'll let you know when i'm done
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
Its an ruu, an ruu is about as legit as you are going to get when it comes to restoring your phone. So yes, it will work :) . If your phone bootlooped when you flashed twrp in the past then my guess is that you either used the wrong fastboot commands and wrote it to another partition by accident, or you used a TWRP that was not presumably built for your phone and thus used another TWRP designed for another device.

[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
If you are about to do something to your phone, make sure you know exactly what you are doing, why you are doing it, how it works, why it works, should I make a mistake what are my escape routes, and if all else fails - plan B. If none of these are set to mind then I recommend you do absolutely nothing to your phone until you actually understand its method.

The other K2 variants are a little bit different than our phone so watch out on them. Try not to use their work unless you really know what you are doing.

As for the rest, it's a matter of reading and learning all throughout XDA and other sites and for the things which are not device specific to us is just a matter of adapting it over :).
