Hi,

Okay, since having the AdAway issue, where AdAway is Disabled, I did a bit of testing yesterday.

All tests done using "v10 SR2" on my:

Samsung Galaxy (SM-N910T) Note 4

Running KitKat 4.4.4, PhilZ Rec 6.59.0

I Uninstalled the Mod between the two different types of testing I did.

First, I tried Uninstalling AdAway, then Installing the Mod and then Installing AdAway back onto my device. Reboots in between each step. No go.

Second after installing the Mod, I went into the "Init.d" folder and moved all of the Scripts it put in there, out of that folder, figuring I could add them back in one by one, until AdAway breaks again and then I've got my culprit. However, even after moving all of the Scripts out, reenabling AdAway and Rebooting, when I went into AdAway, it was once again Disabled. So something else that the Mod does during install and not the Scripts it adds, is the culprit.

I am willing to do more testing, but this definitely needs to be resolved, as a lot of Rooted users have AdAway installed and they'll never give it up! You'd have to pry it from their cold, dead fingers to get it from them! :)

So what else does the Mod change? No more mysteries. We need to know, since not working with AdAway will be a big hinderance for the spread of this Mod! How can users affected, then recommend it, right? :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ChazzMatt:
It's only your phone. When I re-enable Adaway after installing the mod, it stays enabled. I don't even have to reboot.

Of course I'm rooted, and no I wouldn't give up Adaway either.

Maybe it's your ROM, it's something else. HOW are you rooted, for instance? You say you are on 4.4.4 -- is it stock or a custom ROM?

I'm using v10 SR2 also, BUT since I'm on Marshmallow I'm using a different version that you. You are using the version for older Android OS? Maybe there's a difference in there somewhere?

Yes the problem occurs when you install the mod, but since it doesn't happen with most phones, it seems another factor on your end is in play.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DEVILOPS 007:
You seem to be the only person with this problem and I'm sorry but I don't know what the problem is. At least in the next update adaway should be included so that might fix your problem.

Thank you very well said:good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sohamsen:
Lets unlock the mystery!

What is adaway?

-Adaway is an adblocker based on modded hosts

How it works?

-Hosts file of android controls the ads.Adaway simply replaces original hosts file with their modified hosts file to block ads.

Why the mod is breaking adaway?

-UPM replaces modded adaway hosts with the original one so adaway stops working

(system/etc/hosts)

How to fix it?

-Open adaway and install their modded hosts again it will again replace the original one with adaway hosts.So it will again start to work

It is simple as making an instant noodles

And everyone uses this method and working

i
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sohamsen:
in next v11 I will add adaway by default so no one will face any issue
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zeuszoos:
Actually I read someone else saying the same thing was happening to them. But regardless, I can get AdAway working without rebooting too. But when I reboot, it is disabled again.

As you said though, you are running MM, so there's a huge difference right there. :) I did try MM, but I personally wasn't a big fan, so I went back to KK.

The ROM is FireKat. But all FireKat is, is the Stock Samsung ROM, with some of the Bloatware removed and a few speed tweaks.

Thanks for the response.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DEVILOPS 007:
[MENTION=7377454]sohamsen[/MENTION] Just wanted to make you aware that the downloads at the bottom of the first post for v10 sr2 don't show whether it is 5.0+ or not. It's only for the mobile app xda labs and not on the website. It just gets cut off as there is too much text and how the app lays it out.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zeuszoos:
Let's assume that my phone is the only phone that will ever be affected by it. Seriously. What I have been asking repeatedly, is what exactly the Mod does, so I can figure out where the problem is. I'm not trying to be rude, but I still haven't gotten an answer to that question.

It's not any of the scripts that it puts in the Init.d folder, because after installing, I pulled them all out of the Init.d folder and the problem was still there, until I ran the uninstaller.

Again, I'm really not trying to be rude here, but I'm not a n00b and I'm willing to do all of the necessary work to try to help out, as I seriously doubt my phone will be the only one ever affected, since even if AdAway works for the other user after reenabling it and doesn't disable on him again after a reboot, it still shows you that something is going on there, which means the bigger your audience gets, the greater the # of people with the problem will be.

I am saying that I'd be more than happy to do as much as I'm capable of in trying to resolve it, because I'm not so sure that including AdAway will solve the issue, especially when a newer version of AdAway comes out and people install it.

I am not at all, in any way looking to butt heads. Nor am I complaining. Rather, I'm saying that I'm at your disposal and I'm asking just one question: "What exactly does the install do?"

Like, what files get added/replaced?

What parameters get set?

What settings get changed?

Maybe I can figure this out if I know. It's just that it's normal to know what something that you install on your device does, beyond, "Makes it faster!". Yea, okay, how??? <lol>

I'd even be happy to do the writing of the text for you (I'm a writer) that you can feel free to use in any way and anywhere you please. I could write a complete text of what happens and a how to, also including resolving this issue (after I figure it out), etc.. I've worked with a number of developers testing, troubleshooting, design, writing texts up for them, etc.. I'm sure you'd know some of the apps. My point is not to brag, but to assure you that I am familiar with and capable of it.

Anyway, I've whined long enough. :) I'd just like to have a list of exactly what it does, so I can get to work. My feeling is that it's something really simple that I'll see shortly after knowing what's being done. Of course. :)

Thanks!

Since you're running kitkat, I'll tell you. As we all know, Crossbreeder is working up until kitkat. Since CB has an adblocker, it might be the cause. The reason the problem is not in 5.x.x+ is that Crossbreeder doesn't work in it anymore. To (probably) solve this, deleting /system/etc/CrossBreeder/hosts, apply adaway and then try to reboot and see if the problem's still there.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sflnwr:
i use stock rom because no customrom for my phone j1ace-lte. i use term-init to make init.d run and it runing there is test.log on /data/test.log to confirm init.d running.

but after i install this mod i think this mod not running because no test.log on /data and the minfree value still same.

uninstall the mod and test.log coming again on /data. dont know where is wrong with this. reinstall the mod doesnt solve this isue.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DEVILOPS 007:
If what [MENTION=7296895]veez21[/MENTION] said doesn't work then try deleting the setup folder from the zip and then go to system then etc and delete the whole crossbreed folder. To do this you need to extract the zip and after doing this just zip it up again and flash. What the mod does is still kind of unclear to me but I know it improves performance and battery through scripts but I'm not sure exactly what it does except for putting different performance engines in a zip and updating them and their binaries and busybox. Good luck.:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DEVILOPS 007:
Try this without flashing the uninstaller first and if that doesn't work try flashing the uninstaller then flash this. I've deleted setup and crossbreed from here which will hopefully fix your issue as crossbreed and adaway seem to conflict and have problems on certain devices with kitkat.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sohamsen:
from next version i will name it UPM_V10_SR2
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DEVILOPS 007:
Okay cool:) Not v11?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sohamsen:
v11 as u wish
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DEVILOPS 007:
Haha, cool. Thanks. I thought it'd make more sense.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Magz Heaven:
ETA for that?

El Psy Congroo
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DEVILOPS 007:
Should be soon, adaway seems to be the main thing added and that doesn't seem difficult to add instead of crossbreeder so expect it soon but I don't have an eta, only sohamsen does
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DEVILOPS 007:
Stay tuned for v11 very soon
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ChazzMatt:
Never ask for ETA. :) Gets done when it gets done.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DEVILOPS 007:
It's being uploaded right now
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dany00:
Changelog?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DEVILOPS 007:
I'll let sohamsen do that but basically adaway is replacing crossbreeder. Not sure what else so you'll have to wait for his Changelog. He just told me in whatsapp it's uploading so expect it very soon.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sohamsen:
V11 uploaded

-v11adaway issue fixed,crossbreeder removed,adaway integrated by default

Try it out!

Flash the latest uninstaller and install latest v11

V11 works perfect. I like that I can use my custom host source which seems to merge with the one in your mod. No problems so far. Well done:D

1. V11 crossbreeder removed

2. Adaway integrated

3. Adblocking issue fixed

If you're wondering why I'm doing this it is because sohamsen asked me to and I signed into his account to update the first post.

Hit thanks and rate 5 stars on the first post.:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zeuszoos:
I'm not sure if I know what you mean, but if you're saying that the file names are too long to tell which file is for which Android version and so maybe I've got the wrong one, thank you for the suggestion, but in my case, I can see the ebtire file name with no problem and I did grab the one fir 2.0-4.4

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

To "install their modded hosts again", one need only tap the "Download and Install" button in AdAway. I did that and as I said, it reenables it and it works fine. Until I reboot. Then it's Disabled again. So something is happening during bootup.

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

Okay, but what if you already have AdAway installed?

Then what if a new version of AdAway comes out? Would installing it cause a problem?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zeuszoos:
Okay, thanks. Just two last questions, please:

Is this installing the whole AdAway app? Like, should I uninstall AdAway first? I would think it would just overwrite fine, as long as it's v3.2 in there.

Lastly, I looked up CrossBreeder and I understand the different things it does, but when you say that CrossBreeder has been removed, do you mean just the Ad Blocking portion of it? Or as a whole, DNS tweaks and all? CrossBreeder is supposed to also contain a wicked cool Entropy generator too and I just don't know is I should uninstall the one I currently use (seFix) or not.

Sorry. But I've been a tech (including computer electronics theory) for over 30 years and I've always been OCD (which is probably what helped make me so good at it <lol>), so you can imagine my need to always know exactly what's going on in what I'm adding into the mix and trying to flesh out any potential conflicts and what the not knowing is doing to my OCD right now. It's been in my head for two days now that I don't have a starting point. Had I known the Mod included CB, I would have known exactly where to go. :) Btw, thanks to the user (name?) who mentioned it and told me where it was located! Appreciate it! :)

Anyway, I'm gonna go try v11 now and I'll let ya know how that goes. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zeuszoos:
Hello,

I installed the v11 update and AdAway is working fine now. I'll check out a few things on my phone and see how everything is working and run some tests and see where the differences are and let ya know. :)

Thanks! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DEVILOPS 007:
Looks like crossbreeder was the problem but now adaway is there instead with its hosts file it should be fine forever aslong as adaway stays how it is.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Magz Heaven:

El Psy Congroo
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DEVILOPS 007:
Well, that might be a problem sohamsen has caused or the app but on xda labs it is fine
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ChazzMatt:
I confirm Tapatalk doesn't show it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zeuszoos:
Agreed.

I have been testing a few things out, but so far I haven't seen the difference in most areas. Bear in mind, I'm not saying that the Mod doesn't work. I'm quite sure it does exactly what it says and there's plenty of testimony for that.

But please also bear in mind that I have done A LOT of tweaking! And A LOT of slimming down of my ROM! I've cut what runs in my ROM down by 1/3, anyway (meaning from the ROM itself, not my installed user apps), since a lot of it I'd never use.

That was another reason that I was asking questions about whether or not it was handling this or that and if I should uninstall this or that (that increased performance in given areas) and it's another reason why I was asking for a list of what it does. To see if it's stuff I already covered with my own tweaking.

I changed a lot in a lot of areas. So anyway, my feeling now is that wherever I am not seeing an improvement, I had simply already made those tweaks myself manually, one by one (not knowing this existed and obviously now wishing I did) and that's why. Otherwise, based on other users' comments, had I not already made them, I'm very sure that I'd be jumping up and down for joy right now! :)

When I tried running benchmarks for CPU, Graphics, etc., I didn't see any boost over previous results (I used 3 different ones). But I figured there's probably no way I covered everything that this Mod covers, so I tried testing some other stuff, that I figured got tweaked by it.

I tried running Internet Speed Tests and while the Mobile Data was about the same, I did notice a drastic reduction in Ping time over WiFi, which is what I'm on most of the time anyway. I mean a huge drop! To me, that alone (from 30 down to 10) is worth installing this Mod! <lol> I also saw an improvement in UL & DL over WiFi. Not a huge jump, but worth it!

I also tested my Tethering and connected my wife's phone (via WiFi) and there was a noticeable improvement there as well.

Also, I forgot to mention, that while my Home Screen was snappy before, folders now seem to open instantly. Another very impressive result! :)

Now it's possible that I'm just having a lucky day on my connections, because as I said, I don't know what this Mod is supposed to improve. So can you confirm that the Mod deals with these areas?

And are there any other areas that you (or anyone) could please recommend that I test, where I could see some differences and be impressed by, as one user called it, "the magic"? <lol>

As I said, if indeed the areas I noted above are what I'll end up getting out of it (because I just happened to have already done the rest), then I'm still very happy with it and it's well worth the time I spent on it, as those specific improvements just so happen to be very useful to me!

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sohamsen:
yes it has WiFi, tether and internet tweaks and of course GPU,CPU and ram tweaks

check in features :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sourav95:
Nandroid backup of only the boot will do or anything else i should backup???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zeuszoos:
Thanks! :)

It'd be cool if there was some type of app to change any flexible settings (which CPU Gov, etc.). Something with a light UI, like "Performance Control", but with all of the appropriate settings.

Btw, I forgot to ask, does it also set the External SD Card to 2048 if one is present? That doesn't get set in a lot of tweaks, so I'm just wondering. :)

Hi,

I've been noticing another positive thing about this Mod. It's really changed my battery usage! I have a 10000mAh battery, which of course gives me more battery, but to me it was draining too quickly and I did everything I could think of to do. But after applying this Mod, I've really noticed a difference!
