For some reason when I click on certain links online, particularly ones that may be referral links from slickdeals/fatwallet etc I get a page not available message and can not reach the site. I am running latest Overcom Rom but it happened with all previous Overcom roms. I restocked and this does not happen in stock rom. Once I get Overcome loaded the blocking begins again. Am I missing a setting somewhere, blocking these sites? Could it be an app? Help appreciated.
did anyone ever find a solution for this? I have been having the same issues. You would not believe how annoying it.
found some info here, haven't tried it myself yet:

According to bfern002:
1. download and install root manager
2. navigate to system/etc/
3. find the "hosts" file and rename it to "hosts.bak" (be sure you're in R/W mode)
4. check a link which was previously not loading up. it should now load.
Seems to work. This is what I had to do on my HD2 running NDT MIUI ROM (which comes rooted by default):
1. Superuser - menu hard button - Setting - ROOT permission = on
2. Install Estrongs ES File Explorer
3. Run ES File Explorer
4. menu hard button - Settings
5. File Settings - Show Hidden Files = on
6. Root Explorer = on (also check the checkbox to always allow)
7. Mount File System = on
8. back out to ES File Explorer's main screen, press Favorites, then select /
9. system/etc
10. Press and hold on "hosts" (no quotes), and rename as "hosts.bak" (no quotes)

Here's a "How to" using nothing but your phone and computer (or Mac):
1.) If you JUST want the clock, you'll need to download onto your Mac or PC either "missing.zip" or "iofthestorm.zip" from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940456&page=6
2.) Extract the zip file, and open the folder: missing>system>app. Both of these zips have extras bundled into them, so locate Clockpackage.apk. Now, keep this window open.
3.) You'll need a file manager (I like Root Explorer) that allows you to see the "system" (you won't see "" around these files w/in your phone) file. Within in the "system" file, is the "app" file . You'll need to remove the previously bundled clock, but before you do you have to bypass the "system" file's r/o permission. For noobs, r/o = read only. r/w = read/write.
4.) I don't have the link, so click search from w/in the Android Market on your phone and type: mount /system. It'll be the first app that appears on the list. Mount /System is literally the name of the app, so the spacing, etc., is not a typo. Download and install.
5.) When finished with step # 4, fire up your new app, Mount /System, and click the button that says, "Mount r/w."
6.) Remove your old clock from the system/app folder. I first made a copy into my download folder just in case anything went wrong. Once the copy was in a place I could locate again, I went back to system/app folder and deleted the previously bundled clock.
7.) I plugged my phone via usb (settings/applications/development/USB debugging) into my computer. Locate the folder in step #2. Find the clock. Then, drag and drop onto your system/app file.
8.) You're done! Close Root Explorer, and you should see your old Samsung Clock in your app drawer on your phone.
Please note, I'm not a software developer nor am I a hacker. I know only about my device, a Samsung Fascinate, so please don't ask me how to use this mod for other devices. Those who would like to do so would be better off following some of the adb tutorials posted on these forums.
I don't have enought post so i can't write to the official thread.
I have noticed that many users complain about O/C Daemon settings doesn't stick after reboot.
There is a simple solution about this:
And step by step:
1. Open ES File Explorer
2. Go to settings
3. Enable "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System"
4. In main window press "star" icon (favorites)
5. Select "Phone"
6. Choose etc -> virtuous_oc folder
7. Manually edit those files via ES Note Editor (comes with ES File Explorer). Remember save files that you edited!
8. Done!
When you have edited those files your setting is always correctly after reboot.
Sorry if my english is not perfect, hope you guys can understand.
Please read the official guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14638641&postcount=34279
Update. This method still needed with Revolution HD 2.1.2.
If Daemon Controller shows random values don't be worry about it. If "apply" button is grayed it means that your own values is on use.

I make a boot animation similar to Kali Linux text booting style.
Kali Linux lover? You would probably like it
Download link : https://bit.ly/3kKfkBr
Resolution: 720×1280
HOW TO INSTALL:
(You need to be rooted to do so)
1. Download a root explorer app (ES File Explorer)
2. Enable root directory (in ES File Explorer hit menu, go to settings, and check "Up to Root", then go farther down and check "Root Explorer". Accept any Superuser requests.
3. Go back to your explorer and navigate to where you downloaded the"bootanimation.zip" file. Copy (or cut) it.
4. Navigate as far up as you can into your root directory, and then to /data/local/
5. Paste your "bootanimation.zip" file into /data/local/ (You must see stock bootanimation.zip there, just rename it first)
OR
Alternatively it can put it in /system/media
6. Reboot and ENJOY!
HOWEVER make sure you back up your stock bootanimation.zip (rename it to bootanimation.zip.bak or move it to your sdcard somewhere) in case something goes wrong.
Hope you like it
IF you Like it, just press thanks button. It'll encourage me and I'll do many more animations

Hi, i have a htc one m8 sprint. I use original rom, but i can't find hotspot anywhere. Please, help me. How do i fix this problem?
1. is your Bootloader unlocked
2. are you rooted
Requirements
Rooted Android device
Vanilla Android/AOSP-based firmware or custom ROM
Android 6.0 or higher
Step 1Install a Root-Enabled File Browser or build.prop Editor
To get this one going, you'll just need either a root-enabled file browser or a dedicated build.prop editor app to add a single line to your build.prop file. If you don't already have one of these already, here are a pair of free options:
Install root Explorer (below) or FX File Explorer for free from the Google Play Store
Install Build.prop Editor for free from the Google Play Store
I'll be demonstrating using a root file browser, but the basic premise should be just about the same regardless of which method you use.
Edit Your build.prop File
The build.prop file is located in the system folder on the root partition of your device, so navigate to this directory with your root file browser to begin. From here, make sure the folder is mounted as "read/write," then long-press the build.prop file and choose "Open with," then "Text editor."
Next, scroll down to the bottom of your build.prop file and press the enter button on your keyboard to add a new line. From here, regardless of if you're using a file browser or a dedicated build.prop editor, the process will be the same. Simply add the following line, then make sure to save your changes before exiting:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Step 3 Reboot & Enjoy Free Tethering
Once you've added the line to your build.prop file, all that's left to do is to reboot your phone. When that's taken care of, head to the "More..." entry in Android's main Settings menu, then select "Tethering & portable hotspot." From here, simply turn on the "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" option and connect your secondary device to begin tethering, and all the while, your carrier will be none the wiser.
Thanks. I'll try it.

I try it, but don't change anything. Other issue of my m8 is that, when i install ruu, don't show sprint screen. It show "htc one" logo. How i do full format it?
Sent from my 831C using XDA-Developers mobile app
in settings go to backup and do a full reset it will return your phone back to stock if that is what you are referring to
or open dialer and type ##786# this will also completely reset the phone as if you just bought it
So this is for any phone that is rooted. I kind of stumbled on it by just modifying/deleting entries inside of com.google.android.projection.gearhead. I use mixplorer cause its the easiest most user friendly.
1. Open mixplorer and navigate to /data/data/com.google.android.projection.gearhead/files/phenotype/shared/
2. Open gh.phenotype.pb as text with the in app code editor
3. Search for
AppValidation__blocked_packages_by_installer
4. Delete the line of the app your trying to use and save the file.
5. Press and hold on the file and select I on the top.
6. Change owner to root 0 and set permission to rw 600 if it's different.
That's it. My file hasn't updated since February 21 and I continually update Android auto and won't lose any app like obd2aa or fermata and the like. Hopefully it'll work for you too.
Hello, I have looked in the folder /data/data/com.google.android.projection.gearhead/files/phenotype/shared/, but I don't have the gh.phenotype.pb file as you can see in the screenshot. Can it be in another folder? Thank you
