Dunno, the Evo ROM I'm running doesn't have ads and it messes with the latest version of the game. I can't destroy TNT or kill pigs, any damage just disappears shortly afterwards. Might just be a bug though.

Adfree gets rid of them, on just about every other app also.

tried to install over 1.4.2 version in the installation it wrote "Unsuccessful Install"
[Android Apps and Games] GoCkillaz:
You need to uninstall 1.4.2, because the scripts are different. You'll lose your data though, which is sort of a downside...
[Android Apps and Games] Systom:
Was this removed due to people saying the developers are not making money if ADs are blocked? Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't people have to actually click on said ad's for them to make money? Do intelligent folk like us actually click on AD's, like, EVER? Unless it's accidentally due to the touch screen thing, which, they purposely do in hopes of you hitting it on accident so you can curse at yourself and just how stupid it is. Then to top it off, without providing any type of means of removing it from a GAME, whether it be free or not, completely makes it not a GAME anymore due to constant legal spam that even affects the gameplay itself.

C'mon people, c'mon.
[Android Apps and Games] seboj:
LOL @ the self-assessment of being "intelligent folk".

The app was removed at the request of the developer.

And technically, I would think that this thread should be locked, since any further discussion on installing and maintaining the app goes against the wishes of the developer. Maybe theimpaler can get permission to re-release his optimized version if he puts the ads back in.

What a big deal?

Im playing AB at underground. There are a lot of signal dumps. Resolt: a lot of laggy times, a lot of slow performance and few adds.

Simple solution: disable GPRS/EDGE/3G data before play. With some widgets its fast enought (1 click solution).

Works fine for me.

No offense fo dev, but if you want adds then please dont make it so laggy as it is.

I grabbed this yesterday but didn't install. (don't PM me for the apk). Then yesterday evening I fired up trusty Angry Birds and what did I get? I got the splash screen followed by a movie prieview. Seriously. I get the whole ad revenue thing to pay for developers, etc, but forcing users to consume their bandwidth by automatically propping a video preview for a movie? I can't help but think this violates captive audience laws at the least and it's just bad form.

Rovio, Listen up, people want to PAY you for this app. Quit jerking us around with these horrible ad placement versions of the app and just let us buy it already. You are quickly moving from the darling of android games to the villain here.

In the mean time, I'll be installing the ad free version.

Please respect their right to have ads, and install the official version, but I will mention this to them. :)

[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
Downloaded and will give this a try. I had the beta version and it ran very well but some of the textures were not there and 2 nights ago I updated to the version in the market and the stupid ads moved to the top and it lagged so bad it was unplayable. Hopefully this is better cause I need my AngryBirds fix. :D

Thanks for this.

Do you know that by removing the ads you are hurting the original developer?:mad:

Worse Performance?

I dont know what version I am coming from (I think 1.3.5) I installed this version and I was pleased to see the texture issue fixed. Now it will draw the ground correctly with a HUGE performance loss. I am running NFX Hero 2.2.1 which is actually android 2.1. Angry Birds Its not playable for me. The previous playable version I was playing was on CM6 (2.2) so that may be where the performance issue is tied to. 2.1 vs 2.2
[Android Apps and Games] ASimmons:
Kinda crappy to remove the adds, considering its a free game this is how the developer gets paid. Basically stealing.
[Android Apps and Games] Vrekk:
My point exactly!
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Stealing from a free game? Just don't download it if you feel that way, being as neither party is charging for it

Sent from my hero running froyo... take that Sprint!
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Yeah that would be the problem :)

Sent from my hero running froyo... take that Sprint!
[Android Apps and Games] ASimmons:
So do you think he puts the adds in the game to annoy people, no he does it for add revenue. So yeah your stealling the game is free because of the adds plain and simple.

Oh and let me introduce you to a forum feature I don't think you know about, unless your post count is that important.
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
No multi quote on the xda app, and if you know anything about me you see that I will use multi quote when applicable and that my post count is high because I actually help people, including now. Please don't start trouble in my thread, nobody forces you to install this so you don't have to, stick with the regular version and click some ads

Sent from my hero running froyo... take that Sprint!
[Android Apps and Games] ASimmons:
I wouldn't expect you to understand theft hell you take other peoples themes make a couple changes and whala there suddenly your theme. Whos theme is next?

Helping would have been to optimize the apk and what not, but removing the adds is stealling and if you don't see that then your wrong and I hope a senior mod can explain it to you.
[Android Apps and Games] phillyman7200:
I don't get it. This man helped us in more way that a lot of people. Hell even more then sprint when it comes to keeping up to date with the hero. I'm sure he has helped you more than once even if it was indirectly. Now you your gonna get on him for removing adds from a free game that was unplayable with them in it. You probably already downloaded this if you enjoy the game. Now I don't post much because typing on my phone is a pain but this is ridiculous. Impaled thank you for all the work and just remember this community wouldn't function the same without ya man. Sorry but had to vent that lol.
[Android Apps and Games] Vrekk:
For me it is very playable, bfs helps. But yes, it makes things faster but it rips off the dev. Dev > speed
[Android Apps and Games] ASimmons:
Lol if you only knew who helped who , I know Impaler has help alot of you guys but he's wrong here and on some other things, I'm done here I've said my peice,

I won't d/l the game because I'm someone who also makes a living off of code I have developed. The game is free because of the adds, its that simple!
[Android Apps and Games] Fyoolie:
You can remove ads by putting it in airplane mode, I don't see how this is any different. Besides, if the dev wanted more revenue, they'd have a paid version for Android. I haven't seen one person happy about the ads, and I've seen plenty of people say they were willing to pay to have no ads. Maybe if they have less revenue because of their ads being in the way, they will get the hint and either move them or put out a paid version.
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Thanks man, I appreciate the support :)

Against forum rules? Probably not. Does that make it ok? I don't think so! I can't force you not use or use this app, like you said, but when you use this app you are preventing the dev from getting any money that they would have otherwise.
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
As has been pointed out, this saves people from having to turn the phone in airplane mode to play without ads. And if we agree it's not against forum rules why is asimons saying he reported this?

Sent from my hero running froyo... take that Sprint!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Haters gon' hate ;)

haha but really guys.

I can bet about 10$ that they will release an optimized version to work on most devices and charge for it on the Market.
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
And the second they do, I'll take this version down :)

Sent from my hero running froyo... take that Sprint!
[Android Apps and Games] Vrekk:
I don't know why he reported this, like you said, as far as I know you are in the green.

But people shouldn't be going into airplane mode to get rid of ads either. It just hurts the dev, and being a dev I kinda feel strongly about this.

EDIT: I gonna stop now, no need for a fight. But please anybody consider what happens when you use this app over the one in the market:eek:

Edit 2: Google is a multi billion dollar company and (ignoring the cut they get because we are on android phones) most people have never paid Google a dime, where does the money come from? The little ads and sponcerded links.

Edit 3: couldn't stop myself
[Android Apps and Games] :
I could care-less.

I support free things.

I know that the dev's need money but seriously this is on the App store for the iPhone and it's sold probably well over 2 million copies, is that enough money ?

They've got their share of profit.
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:

The second this app goes up in the market for a price, with no ads and optimized for our phone, I will be all over that.

For now, it's either this, or the one from the market in airplane mode.. and just for simplicity I'd rather not turn airplane mode on and off. I dunno if you guys have played this with ads, but they are unbearable in both performance and placement.
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
That's why I did this :) To make it where you don't have to toggle airplane mode every time, and as you pointed out correctly, what's the difference between that and this?

I see this from both points of view and agree with both for the most part.. However why I would side with impaler in this is; this is a free app, a free app that we aren't even supposed to be able to play on our phones..and there is an app in the market that blocks ads, so if this was a huge deal you would think someone wouldn't have allowed that app.... The dev isn't expecting revenue from us right now anyway, and knowing impaler if the dev were to say otherwise (like swype) impaler would pull the post.. So thanks to everyone for all the hard work you put into our phones..

Thanks Impaler! It DEFINITELY runs a lot better... but, like most other posters, its still too hard to play. The 1.3.5 version that was out before this one actually runs extremely smooth... and is playable. It is missing a few graphics here and there... but, if you are dying to play AB, it will definitely get the job done.

Whats weird... is that it really is only missed 1 layer of graphics and the birds feathers dont fall off, thats it. I cant see how fixing that makes it flip out... any chance on just getting the graphics fixed on the older version that does run smoothly? :) hehe.. wishful thinkers!
