[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
Chrome freezing in general, or just on ESPN? If it still happens with adblocking, then the issue lies with ESPN. They're not doing a proper job of optimizing their mobile page for Android. As for Chrome freezing in general, I've never seen that happen... well, except when trying to type a reply on reddit in desktop mode. Then again, I don't visit any heavy websites. Just a lot of text-based ones.

I used to use Adaway a lot, but the lack of good lists for it makes it kind of... useless. Like it doesn't block ads in the mobile version of Google.com. Or mobile version Twitter ads or sponsored tweets. It's nowhere near as useful as, say uBlock for your PC or Firefox Android (whenever it works). It's up to you to create a list of your own with all those blocked elements. Neither do AdGuard, DNS66, or Blockada, for that matter. Mobile adblocking is still in its infancy, unfortunately.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
AdClear is the strongest ad blocker app that I have used. But, it seems to sometimes cause applications to hang.

The newest version of Adaway is very good. But, for it to work extremely well, I update the host files daily and use my own filter links.

I tried DNS666 and didn't see any blocking at all. There is a Adblock module that can be installed through Magisk called: Unified Hosts. Install that in conjunction with Adaway and you will not see ads.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
Yeah, the issue is that Adaway, DNS66 and Blockada depend on hosts files and I haven't found any thorough ones yet. The repositories uBlock Origin uses aren't hosts files AFAIK and you'd have to convert them to hosts files for use with those apps. Adguard will accept uBlock filters though.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
AdAway now has the ability to use links.

Here is an excellent source for links updated daily: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

Go down the page to : Sources of hosts data unified in this variant

Use can either use the link and add Adaways user links, or you can generate you own host files by using tool here: https://hostsaway.appspot.com/

Note:

This page is in Japanese, it will convert to English if you set Chrome to always translate Japanese to English.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] dweekie:
It's a lot of random sites as well as ESPN; Business Insider is another one that will hang on me randomly. Adguard defaults don't prevent it. I've kind of just accepted Chrome freezing as normal expected behavior over the years.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I haven't really explored VPN adblocking prior to this thread, but I'll definitely play around with it further. I am rather curious what to expect from Chrome's built-in minimal adblocker in the future. I'm actually okay with some ads to support websites, but the bad ones truly ruin it for everyone.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
It could be a number of things. Again, uninstall LeEco bloatware via adb. Try other browsers like Samsung Internet, which is purportedly much faster than Chrome. And use it with an adblocking add-on like Adhell. I doubt Chrome's adblocker will be very effective, considering that Google makes the bulk of its money from ad revenue and those Analytics scripts aren't exactly lightweight.

Record your screen and visit those sites in Chrome. I'm curious about how bad it gets.

I'm with you about supporting websites through ads, but too many websites run ridiculous ads that drive up your CPU use. And what about all those stupid websites that use cryptomining ads? No thanks. As long as the ad industry stays shady, and websites aren't transparent about the ads they run, I'm going to keep using an adblocker.

Perfect ROM for Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus

Thank you so much for your nice work! I have tested each single ROM for Mi 5S Plus and this Carbon Rom is the best for sure, I will list below pros and cons of this Rom

* pros:

Super fast and smooth

App Ops works perfectly in this Rom, I mean permissions really works when you apply them, not like other roms that set permissions may be ignored by some apps

Battery life is fantastic, thanks to the App Ops

Wifi, 4G, GPS, NFC and Bluetooth works without single issue.

Voice Recorder is super clear not like some other Roms and voice plugins works on chat apps perfectly (this is the only Rom that able to run voice plugin for chat apps)

Enhanced 4G LTE mode for voice calls works and it can be turned off (for Max. battery life)

Lid Notifications works

Google play services works properly, some users may not notice the difference but if you are using apps that relies on Google Play Services for notifications, then you will notice the difference with this Rom

*cons:

Hardware Navigation buttons are less responsive most of the times than other Roms (especially Home and back buttons)

MMS works on 1 sim per time and it requires restart when you switch between 2 sims for APN and MMS settings. Other Roms works on both sim by default.

Camera has lines on view screen only but it take photos just fine.

Double tap to wake up the device WILL NOT work once you set fingerprint.

Gallery app can't display full screen, it shows black bar at the top in full screen mode

* Here is my setup for this device (fresh install):

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][7.1.2] Carbon Rom V5.1 Mİ 5S Plus

open_gapps-arm64-7.1-pico-modified can be downloaded here (calendar and contact sync REMOVED. TTS and unnecessary google rubbish has been removed) I use gapps for Google play services only as some apps won't work without it.

I have removed stock camera and installed Google Pixel camera can be downloaded from here, I have tested all Google Pixel cameras and this is the only version that works perfectly with this Rom for front and back camera.

Radio natrium new modem pack 8.1.11 Global

If you could replace camera app with Google Pixel camera, and replace carbon browser with Via browser, fix MMS and hardware buttons that would be so great. Thanks again for your work

Good ROM & most smaller size ROM in nougat

Hi OP - After flash really Good ROM & most smaller size ROM in nougat just about 500 MB only :

1) Just tested default camera pictures & video has no issue but i will try more time to see is it OK

2) search icon & app icon is very old style so i think this cause ROM can make to smaller size BUT i don't mind it

3) install lock screen apps it can be unlock compatible with finger print that's SO awesome :silly: :cool: as previously i come from Legend ROM 3th party lock screen apps unable bypass PIN during finger print unlock...

4) Overall it's very smooth/good ROM...

5) apps drawer icon is quite big i check setting no setting can be reduce icon size so any idea to edit ?

[HTC Startrek] Confucious:
OK. I've app unlocked my phone as per post 188 here -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=372717 (Thanks Erofich) and now when I try and install my server certificate I no longer get the message that my I don't have permission but I don't get the message saying it's been installed either (nothing seems to happen) and I still get a cert error when I try and sync. Any ideas?

Thanks
[HTC Startrek] unwired4:
If you have changed the 1017 policy to 144, then it should allow it.

You dont get a confirmation message on installation though. So check settings, security, certificates, root certificates to make sure it has gone into the right place.

If its there and you get the error then the cert doesnt match the server...
[HTC Startrek] Confucious:
Thanks. The cert is there.

It is the same cert I have been using successfully on my Ameo (where you do get a confirmation message) so I'm now stumped :(
[HTC Startrek] unwired4:
Its definitely in the root certs?

I would start at the beginning and double check server name and sync settings on device.
[HTC Startrek] Confucious:
Its definitely in the root certs.

The name on the cert is the server name I connect to and everything 'seems' fine, but I still get 0x80072F0D invalid cert. :(

I downloaded the cert from my certsrv and have double checked my ActiveSync settings and confirmed the server name, user name, password and domain.

Anything else I can check?

Thanks
[HTC Startrek] unwired4:
Hmmm... as long as you are using the FQDN for the server, then there is no reason for it not to work.

I wonder if you delete the partnership and recreate it (now the certificate is installed) it might help?
[HTC Startrek] Confucious:
Deleted the account and tried again. Still no joy. And I am using the FQDN.

I'm hopefully going to update to WM6 over the w/e so will try again then.

Thanks for your help.
[HTC Startrek] unwired4:
Ah... I thought you might have already done the WM6 thing. It does resolve some issues like this.

I just flashed an 8500 to WM6 this week using the guides here and it went fine (as did exchange syncing).
[HTC Startrek] Confucious:
Well...

Just upgraded to WM6 and still the same problem :(
[HTC Startrek] unwired4:
Do you have access to the server itself? Or is it a work/hosted server?

If its your own server, you could try a fresh cert export (just in case yours is in the wrong format) by opening up an MMC and Add a SnapIn - Certificates, select Local Machine. In the Personal Folder, export the Root trusted cert that you are using for your SSL. Export it in the DEP x.509 cert format. Copy it to your PPC and

click on it to install it.
[HTC Startrek] Confucious:
OK - went to server and my FQDN was in my root certs 3 times!

I exported all 3 and imported to phone and it's now happily syncing away.

Many thanks for all your help and your clear instruction s on how to export my certs. So simple even I could follow them.

Now running WM6 AKU 0.5 - pity you can't get it in English but I can understand American.

Thanks again for all your help.
[HTC Startrek] unwired4:
Superb news.

Most people have problems with just one certificate!
[HTC Startrek] Confucious:
That's what I like about this site - not only are people amaisingly helpful, but they seem genuinely pleased when a problem gets resolved :)

Thanks again
[HTC Startrek] tsfnet:
Hi folks,

sorry for being late, i think I can point you to the right direction:

As per Daniel Melanchton (german MVP for Mobile Devices), you need two certificates. One ist the cert for the server and one is the root cert. The root cert is needed for the mobile device checks also the origin of your cert (in german called "Zertifzierungstelle" e.g. Thawte). There's a perfect documentation floating around in the web, but it's only in available in german (called ex2k3_clientzugriff_1.wmv). He shows how to set up your mobile device and how to get the certs by exporting them from internet explorer using outlook web access.

Best regards,

tsfnet
[HTC Startrek] Deckard99:
Just a small correction ;)

Daniel has never been MVP for mobile devices. He was MVP for Exchange Server and is now working for MS.

Bye
[HTC Startrek] Confucious:
OK - so which one of you two is going to translate ex2k3_clientzugriff_1.wmv into English for us? ;)
[HTC Startrek] tsfnet:
äääähhhhmmmmm,

i'll try to provide a pdf with screenshots and explanation if this would help. But this will take some time as i am in heavy business at the moment due to changing our erp-software at work.
[HTC Startrek] unwired4:
He actually got it working about three days ago.
[HTC Startrek] Confucious:
What from and too? we're looking at Dynamics AX because they're too cheap to get JDE...
[HTC Startrek] tsfnet:
yep, i know, but it could be helpful for other users, couldn't it ?

I just love people tributing to this forum AFTER solving their problem and not just "hey, it works now, perfect, thanks and bye forever" (maybe that's too hard, i know a lot of users do contribute a lot and spend a lot of time after solving their problem).

We need to understand why it works now. Do you know the difference between a cert and a root cert ? If you know it, you don't run into the same problem. That's why i will provide a simple pdf about installing the needed certs on your mobile device for acceesing an exchange server with ssl.
[HTC Startrek] tsfnet:
we've been running our own solution based on an IBM DB2 and are now changing to a standard solution for our business (shoe manufacturing and sales: www.gabor.de) which is developed by a german company called CPA which runs on Oracle. So, a lot new stuff to learn and configure ... takes me almost 14 hours a day until end of this year ... but it's too interesting to complain about working hours.
[General Questions and Answers] scousethief:
I cant post in the xperia forums so ..

I have both the Sony Xperia E5 and the Xiaomi Note 4 on my 5ghz home network and everything is rosey , however , i have a quadcopter ( drone) that has a camera using the 5ghz network , i have tried to connect it to the phones but cannot see the quadcopters camera , it does however appear on my daughters iphone when she scans the WiFi for access points so i know the camera is working it is just that the 2 android devices cannot see it.

I understand that there may be a difference in bands/channels used between countries and that some bands/channels are used/not used depending on geographical location , so , is there anyway that i can "open" the phone in order to be able to see the camera on the drone ? i am hoping that this can be done with software or via a relatively simple method ( i do not understand why the Note 4 doesnt see the camera as it is obviously a global rom )

The channels/bands in question are 149 and 153

Thanks for any information you can provide
