Hey if ads can be blocked in wp then P°rN SITES could also be blocked please can you make such app
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] forgreatsouce:
Sure it can. You can use this program. Just find a Host file for porn sites and put it in the user list.

If need be I can host one.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Prasanna Thapa:
Thanks

:DCan you give me a quick tutorial along with the host file.:D
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] forgreatsouce:
Sure.

Download the XAP file from here.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64794813&postcount=109

Install XAP File.

Run program

Click "Edit user host list"

Add this address

Are you sure your phone is interop-unlocked?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Laicure:
oh hey! I just forked https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts repo to make a Windows app to generate a hosts file that I always use on my Lumia 730 ;)

repo link: https://github.com/Laicure/HostsX

or if you have downloaded and installed the XAP Adblocker, you can use this source without anything else (I update this one every weekends):

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Laicure/HostsX/master/hosts

you can also use the generated hosts file to your Windows PC :D
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] darkensx:
lumia 640 (LTE?) AT&T go phone version :p

app does not work right it installs and launches but always gives Opps! can't save host file i am fully unlocked tried both wp 8.1 and 10 same error im guessing there's permissions still set as RO on HOSTS file :/ any ideas???
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sandix:
If you got that error then you are not fully unlocked. You need capabilities unlocked and interop unlocked.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Merazomo:
I know this isn't the place for this but I doubt I'm going to get my question answered in another section anytime soon so here it is:

All I ever wanted was to use an Adblocker for my Lumias similar to what Adaway does on my Nook HD+ tablets with CM11; therefore, I followed the download MixRadio from the store, and move it to SD card approach to Interop-unlock my Lumia 521 & 640; I was successful in executing the CustomWPSystem_0601.xap & vcREG_MIX_RADIO_bootstrap.xap which gave the Lumia Registry Editor, WPSystem Folders, etc. and (Supposed Interop-Unlock through the template settings); it's obviously not unlocked since I can't deploy AdBlocker_modded.xap (The one from this specific forum) without getting an "Error - 0x81030120" with the SDK 8.1 Deployment tool all the time. Is it no longer working? Is my computer bad? Am I not doing it correctly? Thanks you.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] forgreatsouce:
I think certain updates have been blocking the unlock. I know personally I have to do it straight after a full reset. Or it won't work. Your running 8.1?

Or its because your using the 8.1 Deployment tool. which when unmodded wont install Interop files

Try this deployer

Linky
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Merazomo:
Thanks for the reply. I'm running 8.1 on the Lumia 521 & 8.1 update 2 on the Lumia 640. I tried the deployer, but if it's kind of the same problem. I have a windows 10 Desktop in which that deployer won't even open, and I have a windows 10 Laptop in which that deployer opens just fine; even tells me that the deployment was completed but with an error. Guess what the error is? "Error - 0x81030120" just like when using the SDK 8.1 Deployment tool. UNREAL!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] lolz mclollerson:
For some reason I'm unable to deploy the XAP. I was able to interop + capability unlock and deploy the tool by djamol but for some reason I'm getting an error when trying to deploy. According the WPV XAP 2.0 deployer this is the error: 0x81030120

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

edit: I think I figured out what the issue is. I'll have to hard reset and see.

edit 2: Hard reset the phone, did not setup wifi, let the phone finish setting up. Deployed djamols root tool, used the Lumia section to interop and capability unlock. Deployed the adlbocker without issue this time around. I'm using an Lumia 640 on 10.0.10586.107
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] augustinionut:
The tool from djamol has a button: jailbreal lumia. Aply those.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Merazomo:
I don't usually give up until I've exhausted all my options, but this Windows Mobile customization is annoying as heck. I'll give my Lumias another try in the future when things get a little more stable, but for now it's back to Android.

Your phone is Interop Unlock?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GeoffreyK:
I just want to say thank you very much for doing this. It's hugely helpful. And thanks to the original app developer. This is working very well on W10M on a Lumia 1020 build .218 (April 2016).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Laicure:
A 1MB++ hosts file causes the Wireless connection to keep on connecting....

I have disabled the DNSCache service using CustomPFD v0.6 in my Lumia 730 to solve the issue. ;)

I also revamped my previous HostsX, hosts generator tool, to a simplified version.

I think, without using the hosts generator tool, Adblocker doesn't remove duplicates or append the 0.0.0.0 IP per domain.

And using that, I've generated a (updated frequently, use https://db.tt/19rhBYtg for your WP Adblocking usage) large for Windows Phone hosts file (you need to disable your device's DNSCache or else wait for at least 4mins to connect to WiFi/Data).

For the updated hosts file, see this link.

I'll post later the How To for disabling services in WP using CustomPFD ;)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GeoffreyK:
Thank you for your continued work on this. I was sad when your original host file on GitHub stopped working, so thank you for the updated one. In the meantime, I've used a GitHub version of the MVPS hosts file for my phone (Lumia 1020), and oddly, on recent Threshold builds, I haven't had the slow WiFi connection problem (which I did have previously). I wonder if MS has changed something in recent builds? My WiFi now connects instantly to any signal, and I haven't disabled the DNS cache. I'll try with your longer file, and see whether I have the same result.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Laicure:
Oh apologies for that, I had to clean the repo leaving only the source files.

Maybe w10 builds fixed that slowed issue regarding large hosts files.

And also, the new hosts file link will never be removed ;)

Please note that this is included in the sources of the hosts file that blocks several Windows 10 telemetry and connections which might break some w10m connections.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Ghoul159:
Hey Laicure, What is the appropriate key for disabling the DNSCache service in CurrentControlSet. I found it but I need the Dword key for that. Thanks in advance.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Laicure:
Apologies for the late response, unfortunately my Lumia phone is not with me right now though I have a blurry memory of the registry path.

It is somewhere..

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services

or HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

then find DNSCache

set the

Start

to

4

to disable then Restart your phone.

You can also disable the tracking services (useful for w10m, procedure same as above):

- dmwappushsvc

- diagtrack

For the updated hosts file, see this link.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
You don't need an app for that; just copy "ad aware" hosts file (you can get it everywhere, just google for this) to the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc on your handset.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Paleskin:

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sandix:
Reboot after applying the hosts file modification
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Paleskin:

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Laicure:
There are ads that are safe or non-intrusive thus not blocked.

This one sample is usually found in the y o u j i z z site that is blocked by the hosts file.

This app still works well with w10m ;)

It's odd, I could do the screen lock timeout tweak but cannot copy hosts file (not allowed etc)

I don't think interop works properly on 650 Dualsim, or maybe I'm doing something wrong
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Laicure:
Lumia 730. What's yours? Does the app work on your device?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] darkgoat:

Interopt unlock was done with vcReg - http://xdaforums.com/windows-10-mob...creg-lumia-reg-editor-interop-unlock-t3451723

The app installed but there was an error when copying the hosts file:

"Error while copying host file"
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Laicure:
That should work, I tried it on wp8.1 gdr1 and w10m latest prod builds

/hmm have you tried doing any interop-only task like changing the registry using CustomPFD? If yes and if it worked without errors, then it should and must work without errors because it means that you have interop-unlocked your phone successfully.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Paleskin:
I added several sources in the ads blocker, and I still got annoying fullscreen ads
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] darkgoat:
Thanks for your support!

Here is list of thing I just did / tried

1.) Factory reset

2.) Updated to latest insider fast ring

3.) Installed vcReg

4.) interop-unlocked

5.) Installed AdBlocker_Release_ARM_V5.3 --> Error while copying host file

6.) Installed CustomPFD

7.) Changed the tweak setting for "Never lock timer". This seemed to work, the new option showed up in the lockscreen settings

8.) FULL FS Access - enabling full FS access stopped the phone from showing up in windows file explorer

9.) Adblocker still did not work (same error message)

10.) Something killed the phonebar. Not having a back button and homescreen button makes navigating the phone impossible :(

update:

did another factory reset - back to the start.

Interopt-unlocked again, reinstalled Adblocker. Still no luck :(

update2:

Once adblocker does not work I tried this:

http://xdaforums.com/windows-10-mobile/guide-block-ads-using-hosts-file-t3455923

Even after disabling DNSCache - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67774714&postcount=141

ads are still shown
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Laicure:
Can you post the sources that you have added?

And also the site that you has the fullscreen ads (porn or not, does not matter :D)?

Once you have provided the sites as asked above, I will update this to be used for the adblocker's source.

oh.. It seems that you have successfully done the interop (once CustomPFD worked, it's good to go) but the problem now lies with the AdBlocker itself.

... Damn.. I can't think of any problem why it does not work :/

It should block ads after restarting your phone :/

...

Maybe we should ask some folks that are using the Microsoft-released Lumias?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Paleskin:
This is the source that I added

https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/abpindo+easylist.txt

And this is the site which gave me fullscreen ads

Is there actually any known case, where adblock is working on an Lumia 950?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69837335&postcount=183

update:

On my Lumia 730 everything worked out perfectly fine
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Laicure:
Thanks for the response..

Upon checking your txt source, it seems that it is not compatible with the hosts file. It actually breaks it.

The hosts file should only contain (per line):

# - for comments

and

domain names - for blocking/redirection

The txt source that you have shared is only applicable for browser adblockers (i.e. Adblock Plus).

I have checked the site that you are having problems with and it does not show full screen ads on my Lumia 730 (no custom hosts file and not even interop-unlocked).

I'll check it later on a pc browser (with default host file and adblocking off) then I'll update you once I come up with something. ;)

Oh.. That silent installer.. Saw that on the adblocker source code (being a missing reference even though I have wp8 and wp8.1 sdk installed). As for the statement wherein not working for newer Lumias, I think rebuilding the Adblocker using w10m sdk (or using a newer method as nokiasilentinstaller is somewhat deprecated) should fix this issue. I wish I have the time to rebuild one.

I think you're right, my Lumia 730 does not have problems with that (no more interop-unlock for me :( ).

(I haven't checked using newer Lumias)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Paleskin:
how do I fix it ?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] enderzombie15:
Thank you!

Thank's for the adblock but it would be cool if you could make it so you don't have to have an interop unlock and full capabilities as im having trouble interop unlocking my phone.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] darkgoat:
Ok, adblocking via host file is finally working on my Lumia 950DS.

First, install vcReg http://xdaforums.com/windows-10-mob...creg-lumia-reg-editor-interop-unlock-t3451723

Proceeded to step 3, but did not do the unlock.

Then installed Interopt Tools http://xdaforums.com/windows-10-mob...app-interop-tools-versatile-registry-t3445271.

Via the "system console" inside interopt tools i was able to copy the customized host file to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] milkyway1234:
Congrats! What do you mean by system console? SSH? SFTP?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] darkgoat:
I was running Interopt Tools on the PC, remote controlling the interopt Tools installation on the phone:

https://img.xda-cdn.com/BHfIv18IHYqZhbNLNX-smJLHJjE=/http://i.imgur.com/IYEBYo4.png

After applying temporary cmd access I was able to use "(WIP) System Console" (Interopt Tools) on the PC.

The descriptions says access CMD from SSH, so i suppose you could do the same via SSH
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Laicure:
You can still use this, I always update it every week.

Hi , they just started taking orders for Moto X Play in Brazil, Delivery time about 5 Days , i just ordered the 32Gb Model .

They are selling the Moto X play 32 gb with an extra blue back cover for R$ 1423,00 ( Around U$ 412 dollars tax incl. )

and MOTO X Play 16gb for R$ 1329,00 ( Around U$ 379,00 tax incl.)

I Still don't know the Model Number , but they are selling without contract , no carrier bloatware .

Currently i own a Galaxy S6 Edge, Moto X 2 gen Vintage Leather and an iPhone 6. I will be buying the Moto X Style when it become available. I'll post when it arrive next week, pictures and my thoughts about size, weight , display and camera.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Update: Just got the Moto X Play , it is bigger, it feels bigger. Now it seems to identify when it's Turbo Charging . Will post more after i charge it and stat using it, here are some pictures.
[X Play General] dalegg:
Can I buy the Motorola X Play in the United States and take it to Brazil with me? I want to take it with me to Brazil in December and give it to my girlfriend as a Christmas present.
[X Play General] Galinha1:
Well, we have to wait a few weeks to see the specs , bands etc.. But if you buy it unlocked , big chances it will work fine, 4G and all, my Moto X 2 gen. bought in Brazil works fine in US using T-Mobile ( LTE Bands are fine) .
[X Play General] eXelero:
you can pre-order it in Germany, too.

Conrad.de seems to be receiving it starting Monday -- the only problem is that they are not shipping outside Germany. This, of course, can be tricked if you are from the EU (using services like mailboxde.com).

the price is also very competitive there, only 349 EUR (compared to Amazon.co.uk asking for the same config 346GBP!)
[X Play General] m4tt94:
I guess (hope) that the Amazon price is just a placeholder. Anyway, it's available to preorder on expansys too.
[X Play General] eXelero:
you're right, they updated the price now and it's 270GBP, which is around 380EUR. that is now only 30EUR more than what the german store asks for the same device.
[X Play General] paorpas:
in germany store 10-12 days no?

i'am living spain, but i want to buy, only moto maker code ship 1-3 days?

Yes, i didn't knew that when i ordered, mine just arrive, and it's in fact dual NANO sim. I know it has Band 7, coz it's the one used around here. Will post more soon as i have more info.
