I use an adblocker, but in saying that I pay for apps that are useful and solid.

A big decider for me is not only design in function but design in appearance.

The adblocker helps in making my choice to buy an app by removing distractions that are additional to the design and function.....

For me if I can't get a clean first impression then I probably don't want to spend time imagining how the app will work without advertising.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] LastStandingDroid:
Just a notice if you patch the ads with offline mode you'll get no ads not even your own ads just a hint ;)

[24th May i'm on vacation. so no work will be done] JAPAN HERE I COME :]
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] Droidspirit:
Yes, i know. The offline mode is also just for testing and possibly increases the willingness to buy.

Many users enable the airplane mode while playing games to disable ads. But that no longer works with the library.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] jackaros:
I hope most users do not think like me but i really hate the advertised product when it shows up constantly!
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] Gillion:
How do you earn money with prepackaged ads ? How do you monetize this ?
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] Droidspirit:
With own banners you earn no money. but you can promote your other apps. or you show banner on another developer and he in turn for you. So you increase the breadth of your apps.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] ThommmF:
Good step

I block adds. Not to see no advertising but to protect my privacy.

Users should be able to decide weather the want to be tracked by add companies or not.

I totally understand that some developers don't want to sell the apps but need some money for further development. If the adds are stored locally no tracker will be informed in real time.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] fffft:
Offline ads? Incredibly annoying and

will

reduce my support of Devs that go this route. Finding innovative ways to antagonize end users is ill considered. It's dismaying when Devs use ads as their primary (or worse, sole) revenue stream. I have absolutely no problem with Devs who have an ad free paid version and an ad supported "free" version. You

do

deserve to be compensated for your work. But realize that there is a right way and wrong way to go about that.

If your work is interesting enough for me to install, I for one will buy the paid version app. Devs that do not have an ad free alternative should expect a lot of hate. Well deserved hate. There is a lot a good work by Devs to be admired on this site. Please don't make it hard to support your work. Or erode end user loyalty by totally alienating us.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] digitalhigh:
Hey, nice lib! I will have fun figuring out how to block it entirely in all ROMS I release. Hell, maybe I'll make an exposed module too.

As a developer, it's your right to decide how to try and generate revenue from your work.

And, as an end-user, it's my right to not have to look at ugly banner ads. Honestly...how many deliberate clicks have you EVER seen on a banner ad? I can't think of anybody in their right mind who would ever want to click one.

Here's a better idea...instead of helping others to continue to force crap on users...either make the app entirely free, or make one feature-restricted version and one premium version. You know...make us want to pay for more STUFF instead of less CRAP.

But no, really...I will be working out a way to block this ridiculous idea. Thanks.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] Magissia:
I don't dev for andro but nice lib. Hope devs would make a good use of this and give a way out of the adds (ads removal in app purchase !)

Congratulations for portal appearance !

You can put a banner to buy ccleaner for your computer and use a customized link to get some money on the buy, you can put an ads for a paid app you made yourself ... just an example, there's multiple ways. Imagination is the key.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] akaSM:
It was all nice and good but..

Allowing this kind of ads to show with your lib will just make people who don't mind well placed ads (unobtrusive banners, ads in the settings screen) look for a way to disable your lib.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] Droidspirit:
Here a further example for usage of my lib:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.NetBlocker

A user can block the internet connection for each app. if the app contains ads, there will not be displayed. But this works not with my lib ;)

I've downloaded the latest firmware from SUS and i'm on the way to root it with Nickiroot (thanks mbc07) :good:

However I can't understand why Sony didn't include in it the latest Walkman, Album and Film apps and why they aren't available to download from Update Center :confused:
[Sony Xperia M] android-turk:
I updated the walkman etc via update center are you sure you can't download them?
[Sony Xperia M] Warst675:
Yes, they aren't still available in Update Center, maybe the rolling out has different times for the various Countries.

RE: Sony Xperia M 4.3 update problem

The update stops at 99% in the sony pc companion and stops at 781.5/786.1 mb in the SUS! It is really very irritating to wait for such a long time and end up with this. Please provide a solution for it
[Sony Xperia M] kumarab4:
update services stops at 781.5

i use an i7 pc with a 20 MBPS 1:1 internet. The download is stil slow and for some reason freezes at 781.5 mb in SUS and PC companion at 99%. No ports blocked, every other donload is at 2.5 MBPS+.Sony servers are probably not able to accomodate the updates for a budget phone.
[Sony Xperia M] oorvashe:
Just download the FTF and flash it with the latest flash tool. With the internet speed you have it should be complete in less than 45 minutes. I downloaded and Flashed the ftf and its working fine.
[Sony Xperia M] part 1994:
Try uninstalling and re installing PC companion. I had similar problem during the last update and doing that fixed it for me.
[Sony Xperia M] Kir3:
I have a problem after update. Some apps report that there is no Internet connection although WiFi is enabled. Some apps work but half-way, for eg. Outlook.com app it give me to login but after connection it says error, no network connection. Google apps works, aptoide.com is loading, m.aptoide.com says there is no internet.

I try on my PC these sites, and they work normally. I made a factory reset but problem persist.

[Moto X Q&A] daede86:
Hi guys

i really like to buy a customized moto x from motomaker but i have to buy it from europe.. i had a friend in the states last week but i couldn't buy it because they accept only us credit card..

is there a way/service/something to buy it?!

i remember i read something a while ago to buy a nexus from us, it should be almost the same.. am i right?

thanks a lot :)

bye
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
All I can suggest is to have a friend in the U.S. buy it with -their Credit Card-. You can reimburse them afterwards. Moto is doing address checks to match credit card address with shipping address in attempt to prevent fraud.

Another alternative may be to buy on Swappa - if you can find one customized to your liking. Just be sure to ask the seller if he/she is willing to ship internationally.

And finally, if possible, get the GSM Unlocked (T-Mobile) version (XT1053). It comes SIM-Unlocked, and bootloader-unlockable.

Good Luck.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hardisty:
Short version: I'm getting horrible battery life on a brand new battery with a setup that other people get much more life out of. Is it possible that there's some part of my phone that survives all the clean flashes I do and is responsible for this? Would completely taking my phone back to stock and then re-rooting and flashing a ROM wipe that part out or does regular clean flashing clear out anything that could be responsible?

Detailed version: I've had my device rooted since Day 1 and have flashed countless ROMs over the two years. Recently I noticed I was getting horrible battery life on Carbon, especially when it came to screen on time. I bought a brand new battery and it got a little better but still pretty terrible. Since then I've tried a couple different ROMs and kernels (AOSPA, Task650, kt747) and while it's been better, it usually can't make it past 6pm. At best I'm getting 1-1.5hrs screen on time. Also, the first 15% and last 25% drains so much faster than the rest. Would going completely to stock, re-rooting, and flashing a rom help?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Nothing should remain if you wipe system, data, cache, and Dalvik.

Try installing a ROM with a CPU governor that allows your to choose the settings.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazymonkey05:
Also try undervolting in the kernel and see if that helps
[LG G Flex] waynestatemac:
Guys,

I have two T-Mobile D959 which I updated to 4.4.2 using the D-Fuse Rom posted in the forums. I also have a sim unlocked D950 that I would like to update to 4.4.2 as well. It's currently rooted on JB with TWRP recovery. I've read that others have allowed the phone to update using the OTA update for KK on top of rooted JB and that allowed them to keep root. Since we have this phone on T-Mobile with a T-Mobile sim it hasn't popped up about any updates. I clicked on the manual update and it did not find any updates on the server, which I believe because it doesn't have a ATT sim in it. It's also frustrating because it only allows for manual update check every 24 hrs or so.

Does anybody have the OTA file? I'm thinking if I placed the OTA file in the main root directory that the phone should be able to find the file and ask to update itself. I've did this prior with some Motorola tablets. So far I don't see anybody with the OTA D950 posted. I know user hyelton has a zip file containing the tot file posted for D950 KK but its over 1gig and I believe the OTA update was only around 600 MB or so. Any help would be appreciated.

-Mike
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Just use the .tot files if you know where to get them and lg flash tool your flex to KitKat
[LG G Flex] waynestatemac:
Yup I know where to get the .tot file, but if I use the LG flash tools and the .tot won't I loose the root? I'm thinking of it as the tot file is like flashing a fresh install and you loose any information previously installed. Maybe I'm wrong :confused:
[LG G Flex] waynestatemac:
Matt maybe I should of just installed the KK tot file and tried the new KK root that is posted on IOROOT thread. I've tried the KK method with one of my D959, but it wouldn't come up with the ADB method in the recovery as required so I had to restore it back to JB to root and add custom recovery and then install D-Fuses KK rom for that phone which is rooted.

I would hate to try a fresh install of KK as this phone as the phone is for my mom and I have it all set up already with apps and emails and what not. It would be the easiest if it would just update without having to redo all that stuff.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Its probably best that your moms has an unrooted phone. The user experience for someone that knows nothing about all this stuff we do to our phones is much better if its not rooted. And practically idiot proofed
[LG G Flex] waynestatemac:
Your right for the most part. The only issue I ran across is ATT puts a setting in that wont allow the tether app to work correctly on a none ATT simcard. When you would run the tether it would error out. I had to go in and change a setting in the settings.db file and make a change where att had something set as a 5 to a 0. Others had the same problem. On my D959 tether would work without any modification as my plan allows for 3GB of tethered data. I may just leave her on the rooted JB with TWRP recovery to be on the safe side till a custom recovery is available for KK on these phones.
[LG G Flex] mrksbrd:
Doesn't work. I've pushed it back into FOTA folder, same place I pulled it from. There must be some behind the scenes checks being done. No way to bypass the ATT servers either to "manually" force the update

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] kgbkny:
After unsuccessfully attempting to convert my AT&T-branded HTC M8 to the Developer Edition (using the nandroid method), I ended up restoring to stock using the official RUU. I'm experiencing two mildly annoying issues that I hope someone can help me out with. The first one is not being able to change the CID back to AT&T's (CWS-001). I tried it a few times and fastboot returns the "invalid cid" error each time. I was, however, able to change the CID to SuperCID (11111111) without any problems.

The second issue is that I am still unable to boot into stock recovery and get the red triangle with an exclamation mark when I try to do so. I am running the latest firmware version (1.58.502.1), but was unable to find the recovery for that version, so I flashed 1.12.XXX.X. I have a feeling that this may be what's causing the problem.

I'd like to restore completely to stock. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Error is probably since that CID is not correct. Its CWS__001 (with 2 underscores, not a dash/hyphen)

Red triangle with exclamation mark

is

stock recovery. I think you then press vol up to bring up the recovery options menu.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] kgbkny:
You, my friend, are a lifesaver! I didn't realize that it was a double underscore. The recovery worked like a charm. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ColdFire InOx:
I had rooted Nexus 5 with franco.kernel. Reverted back to stock kernel and flashed the OTA zip. Everything went perfectly and updated to 4.4.3, but unfortunately lost recovery and root access.

I tried to regain root by running CF auto root kit. No luck whatsoever. I can't flash TWRP, because everytime I type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - it says it can't open recovery.img. The recovery.img is in the platform-tools folder, I am certain I did nothing wrong.

Can anyone give me a hand with this?

EDIT- You may delete this thread. Seems like the problem was that SuperSU didn't get installed but after downloading it from play store everything shows up as rooted now. Thanks.
