To block hosts without root, the only way is using a proxy, or custom dns, even a vpn.

How to block ads on Android, with root and without root

Ads can be annoying in a lot of cases. If you're grown frustrated by ads on the Internet, here's how you can block ads on Android.

[Redmi 9A Questions & Answers] Ivan.Adriazola:
Redmi 9a is my dayly also, I opted for using ArrowOS it has 4 issues:

No wifi hotspot (nor VOLTE whatever that means it was in the known issues of the build)

Even with Gapps, using google drive back ups for whatsapp is not posible, IDK maybe im dumb, i had to use a local backup transfer.

Google maps location is buggy, it works kinda, but sometimes even on good wifi it tells you it doesnt know your location (I use google maps a lot, this is actually my biggest issue so far).

The touchscreen issue that came with stock rom when I bought it is still there, not really arrowOS fault but it wouldve been nice if it was fixed.

but the pros are endless, the phone is literally at least 10 times faster, and this is comparing a couple weeks into use arrowOS to a just hard reseted OFW.
[Redmi 9A Questions & Answers] rimaille:
I update my answer because i found a great way to get rid of ads without root :

I use since a couple of days an application that create a local proxy, an applicative firewall, a local dns.

It can force all applications to use it via a local vpn setup.

My A53 5G sometime losts connection to the internet while the Wifi is still connected, I can tell it by scrolling Twitter or Facebook and they refuses to load the image, or the loading incidator just hang. The workaround is disabling then enabling the Wifi for it to work again, or wait for a while. Do you guys know if my phone has malfunction Wifi chip or it's common problem? The issue occur since I bought the phone from official store, so it was brand new one.

Cellular connection doesn't have this problem.

How about battery drain? I was having issues with Wi-Fi and battery drain (20%) while I slept. I don't have a solution, in fact I sent it out for repair through Samsung support.. and they refused to look at it because it's a Tracfone. At least in my case, I think it's a short somewhere within the Wi-Fi causing battery drain, but I'm not qualified and it's just my guess. And apparently Samsung support isn't qualified either cuz theyre sending it back unrepaired.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] hohoaisan:
It happens at random time at any battery level. I'll try reaching Samsung support, hope they'll fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mewcatchew:
Ok, but if it's a carrier branded A53 they'll set you up with free shipping, have you send it to Texas, and then refuse to even look at it. If it's an unbranded US Unlocked retail version you should be ok... As far as battery drain, I meant is your battery draining excessively all the time even w/out use? My Wi-Fi was constantly shifting from connected without internet access, then with, then without etc. etc.. Factory data reset did nothing to fix it, so it's a hardware issue.

[Remix Mini General] gronostaj:
I'm a bit late to the party, am I?

Recently I've been experimenting with my RM1G which I bought years ago. I came to a point where I would like to connect it to a PC to sideload APKs, root it etc. and I got stuck.

I've made the cable (actually three of them) and nothing seems to be working. On Windows I get the unhelpful "USB device malfunctioned" popup. On Linux in journalctl I get this:

kernel: usb2-1.3: new low-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci
kernel: usb2-1.3: device descriptor read/64, error -32
kernel: usb2-1.3: device descriptor read/64, error -32
kernel: usb2-1.3: new low-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-pci
kernel: usb2-1.3: device descriptor read/64, error -32
kernel: usb2-1.3: device descriptor read/64, error -32
kernel: usb2-1-port3: attempt power cycle
kernel: usb2-1.3: new low-speed USB device number 6 using ehci-pci
kernel: usb2-1.3: device descriptor read/64, error -32
kernel: usb2-1.3: device descriptor read/64, error -32
kernel: usb2-1.3: new low-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-pci
kernel: usb2-1.3: device descriptor read/64, error -32
kernel: usb2-1.3: device descriptor read/64, error -32
kernel: usb2-1-port3: unable to enumerate USB device

This is happening both with the device powered on and in fastboot mode. ADB and USB host are enabled, the cable is plugged into the top port. Disabling USB host stops the errors, but also nothing is working (as expected). The other port isn't responding at all no matter the settings.

This is with cables wired like this (data lines crossed):

Vbus ↔ Vbus
D- ↔ D+
D+ ↔ D-
GND ↔ GND

With straight data lines I didn't get any communication whatsoever. I didn't try to reverse power lines because shorting two voltage sources like that sounds like a terrible idea. Googling suggests this error could be overcurrent protection kicking in, but that seems weird and I'd rather not do anything risky without first making sure it makes sense. I really don't want to let the magic smoke out.

Does anybody know what could be going on here? Could someone post wiring of a known-good USB cable?
[Remix Mini General] gronostaj:
Problem solved.

While working on some other project I've discovered that I own a factory-made male to male cable with straight connections (so D+ to D+, D- to D-) and I've decided to give it a go - and it worked. I don't know why my own straight cable didn't cause any reaction - probably some connection was loose.

Windows didn't recognize the fastboot device. Tinkering with the drivers would probably help, but it was quicker to boot into Linux and there it worked from the get go. I'm now a happy owner of a rooted Remix Mini. Next: soldering in the serial header ;)

//Note for those who wants to know actual information. Thanks to V0latyle for pointing it out.

Recently i faced the problem where my CTS profile failed and thus Google Wallet (GPay) wasn't able to work properly.

I managed to fix this, and so decided to share my expirience to help thus in need to fix this issue aswell.

Previously i had this setup for around whole year which did work until now:

Device: oneplus 9 pro

Firmware: oos 11 11.2.10.10

Kernel: from Arter97

Magisk: Magisk Alpha 23.0 + magisk hide + module universal safetynet fix 1.1.1

Problem: Google Wallet (GPay) won't work / CTS profile failed

Now, these are steps which did help me to solve the issue:

1. Rolled back to stock kernel (boot, dtbo, vendor_boot partitions)

2. Set up Magisk Alpha 25205

Spoiler content hidden.

3. Activate Zygisk

4. Select in DenyList menu: Google Play Services, Google Play Store, Google Wallet (GPay) and other apps which you'd like to not find out about your modified system

5. DO NOT ENABLE

Enforce DenyList

option

6. Install Magisk modules: Shamiko 0.5.2 | Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.3.1 for Zygisk | MagiskHide Props Config 6.1.2

7. Using any terminal app, select newer Fingerpring thanks to MagiskHide Props Config module

Spoiler content hidden.

8. Clear data of the following apps: Google Play Store, Google Services, Google Wallet (GPay)

9. Reboot

10. Now, when you open up your Google Wallet (GPay) app, it may work OR message that says that it's updating and you can't use it while the process isn't done may appear.

11. If you encounter such message, change your device language to other one and then open up Google Wallet (GPay) app again

12. Now the app should open up, it may take some time to update it's interface to the latest one

Google Wallet (GPay) now works fine and CTS profile passes succesefully.

Have a nice day :)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Ursaotns:
Hello, thanks for posting but I have a question here. In step 7, in "props" I have to choose an option from Google smartphones and according to the Android I am on. Well, the module is outdated and no option appears with Android 13, which is my case. What do I do now?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] more_than_hater:
It seems that there exists an unofficial fork of this magisk module

And, as i understand, it's not that important to choose exactly the same android ver as yours, you can go up and down.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Ursaotns:
Thanks. It helped a lot! I was able to resolve the issue here on my OnePlus Ace (10R) on Android 13 and OxygenOS 13. Only thing left for me to solve here is to remove youtube from the system as Wakelocks. Do you have any idea how to remove it permanently? Would you help me?

SafetyNet components like CTSProfile are no longer applicable, as SafetyNet has been replaced by Play Integrity. All of Google's apps such as GPay have long since switched.

More information here.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] sshriss:
I recently faced similar issue, but with newest version of Company portal (Intune) app as I have a work profile.

After updating the app it started detecting I am rooted maybe due to the mentioned change.

I already had configured the zygisk, deny list and safety net fix.

I found 2 ways to fix it.

1 As a workaround to download grade the app with previous version.

2. I just installed latest shamiko and disable enforcement of the deny list. I didn't used the MagiskHide Props Config. Basically all the steps mentioned above, but without MagiskHide Props Config. For now all is fine. I didn't had issues with gpay so far.

I am on Oneplus 9Pro OOS 13 F.72

I can't interact with anything on my screen when I try to use a mod/app that requires the permissions "Display Over Other Apps". When I enable it, I can interact with the overlayed app/mod, but I can't interact with anything else on my phone (can't swipe left or right, can't click anything in any apps, but I can press the home/back button). Is there anyway to fix this/shortcuts?
[G1 General] mortenolarsen:
any norwegians who have unlocked the phone, can you tell me what is not good with the phone, except from the MMS not working yet. Anyone found a solution to the problem. I have a Chess service myself. I also wonder how I can get all my contacts from Outlook/my htc touch cruise to the G1 phone. Anyone solved this. What about connection the thing to my hotmail account. On my HTC touch cruise this is very simple.

Is the phone worth the money??? Looking forward to hear from you.

Best regards

Morten
[G1 General] Zappza:
Howdy :)

Cons:

Battery life

No decent IM app yet

Screen gets greasy fast

MMS is working if your provider supports having all the information in one single APN settings file. I am not sure if Chess supports this or not.

If you haven't already, get a decent data plan. That is one of the things I am struggeling to find in Norway, espescially on Telenor. You could get Mobilt Bredbånd, but to a price of 499,- NOK for unlimited, it isn't so tempting anymore. The only option I see is the iPhone bundle that Netcom have, but I want to use Telenor, so I am ****ed.

The easiest way I found to do this, is to download a program called KiGoo. This enables you to have a folder in Outlook that is basically your Google Contacts or your Google Calendar. I just synced all my Contacts from my Nokia E65 to Outlook, and then just copied them from the Outlook folder to the KiGoo folder. It worked pretty good, and almost all details got copied (Names, all phone number, e-mails and all important stuff is copied, and remains in the correct fields as well, unlike the Funambol Android Client, which puts commas in the Last Name field if there isn't anything there), and is the best solution I have tried so far. And believe me, I've tried LOTS of things.

It seems that .csv exporting from Outlook don't work, since Outlook uses Norwegian in to describe the values, which Gmail obviously don't understand.

I wouldn't have my hopes up for the Hotmail thing.

I haven't used hotmail since I was 12, but back then you had to have Hotmail Plus to be able to access your mail via POP3 or anything other than Webmail and the Live Client for windows. The only solution would have to be to forward all incoming mail to your Gmail account, and I don't know if hotmail supports that with out Plus.

You can access your Hotmail account through the browser, but it is only retarded, the Live page isn't optimized for mobile use, and it would just get annoying after a short while.

I would just change my email to gmail, which in my opinion is superior anyways :)

You can still use your Live ID on MSN so that is no big deal really.

Hope this sorted out some issues for you :)

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
I chose same colour this morning at 9am

no email or text yet to confirm its accepted.

they say 60 days to get it which means sometime in January!

The Bose headphones were only 30 days last year on P6 Pro claim.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nettwerk:
I choose hazel, same color as phone. So how long it will takes to get it. 5 days will take to approve it and up to 60 days deliver.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Put mine in just now, selected the polished silver with black band. If I end up with the Champaign Gold it won't be the end of the world as I'm likely going to give it to my wife anyway.

I've got a Huawei Watch GT2, the idea of going from a smart watch with 10+ days battery life to one with 2 days maximum likely won't work for me, extra features or not. The Huwaei does what I need from a smart watch.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nettwerk:
I'm using Ticwatch 3 Pro Lte. It works perfect two days. But sure if I can get Pixel Watch why not. I'm thinking to give my girlfriend. Maybe I'll love it and I'll use it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
One concern I have is that I purchased from somewhere that doesn't have their emblem on the receipt, which the claim page said was needed. So I made a screenshot of the order, then copy and pasted the emblem onto it before printing it as a PDF and uploading it.

Hopefully they don't refuse it as a result of that but I'm not sure what else they expect.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
"Within The Next 60 days" is the actual wording. So assuming it's approved, it's likely to be well before January, especially as the claim has been uploaded the first day of the window.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
Mine came with the phone and i sold it the next day, as beautiful as it was my Fitbit goes for 8 days and i would rather have the long charge.

Where to write about the lack of a watch?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] farnsbarns:
Agreed, and it said up to 5 days for the confirmation but it was 9.5 hours. Fingers crossed 60 days is to give them breathing space and having got in early I've given them as much scope as possible to get my preferred colour out sooner. Time will tell.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] farnsbarns:
Did you order from a participating retailer within the period to get the watch? 3-17 Oct, if I remember correctly? If so, you should have received instructions from the retailer.

If you do qualify you can claim here...

Pixel 7/7 Pro Launch GWP
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Only selected retailers were part of the promotion. So assuming you bought the phone between the 6th and the 17th of October, and you didn't purchase direct from Google (as you got the watch with the phone if you did), you need to check the list of retailers at https://promo-rewards.com/2022launch/en-GB/qualifying

Not on there, no watch.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] farnsbarns:
It doesn't say it has to have the logo, just that it must show the retailer. I screenshot an email from ee with no logo visible and it was accepted with no problem.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
It didn't show the retailer in any way, so the emblem being added should cover it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] farnsbarns:
Seems weird.

No, what I mean is the order receipt when I go to the account on the retailer's website doesn't say the name of the retailer on it or show the emblem, so I've added it. And yup, it was one of those on the list.

My wife will have the confirmation email from my order on the 13th of October, so if Google come back and ask for more info, I'll just send them that.
