[Q] AdFree - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Adfree does not block Ads on my TP and I have no idea what to do to fix it.
I have updated the hosts file and it says success you may need to reboot etc, but after a reboot the ads are still there.
I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times trying to get it to work but no joy so far.
I am currently running the official 0522 nightly but Adfree has never worked no matter what rom i have installed.
I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

I stopped using adfree a long time ago, mainly because of this(not blocking anything). I started using Adaway and it works perfectly.

I second AdAway. I've been using it for a while on my phone and it works great.

Thanks for the heads up, AdAway works nicely, it helps to stop my browser from constantly crashing and force closing without any warning.
Now if I could just figure out a way for the browser to remember to keep me logged in to certain sites like this one. Each time i leave the site I have to re log in. It didn't used to do that with the Alpha version. But on the nightlies it won't remember. The only plus to that is it does remember my user name and pw and enters it into the fields so all i have to do is is tap the logon button. It gets sort of cumbersome after a while when you use a site like this all the time though.

Well, I haven't had this problem with the chrome beta, but the only problem with it is that they've yet to give the ability to use flash player with it.

If I have to come here, I use the XDA Premium app. But that's just me. Chrome remembers most of what I need for most of where I go, and where it doesn't, it does the same - plugs in the username and pass for me.

Do any of you guys have this app that I can download directly. (Not through the market) Every time I try to download it I get this message.

Go directly to the play store website and sign into your Google account and install it from there, just select install and then your device

Not sure what the rules are on posting apk's that are not mine here on XDA but I do know where you can get the apk. The developer posted it on several places. This is one of them.

Thanks guy. Your right searching is great, I finally went out and did that myself earlier. I have just been to busy to do it and thought if someone had the apk they could just send it over. Had that done quite a few times on xda. I appreciate all your help though.

Samsung Email missing in JPC

Hey
I posted this in the general section but couldn't get an answer.
Basically I flashed and rooted JPC to my Bell Vibrant via ODIN, but I've lost the Samsung Email app, which IMO is the best mail app I've used on android.
Does anyone have the Samsung mail app? ANy way you could share it with me?
I've tried k9, maildroid, stock email and they all are incredibly unreliable or slow.
Thanks very much
I've yet to see something called Samsung Mail. Wasn't present in JM3, JM5 or JM6
It was deffinitely there in JG9 when I got my phone. I guess it basically tied into SocialHub, but it was pretty reliable and had a unified inbox.
Such App exists?
Whenever people mentioned I thought it was the normal Email app
the normal mail app has a unified inbox. there's one apk, i think it's social hub, that showed mail + messages at the same time but that one just started the normal mail app

Yeah, but the normal mail app is quite abysmal. Mail is one thing Android is noticeably weak at.
The samsung email app I used was deffinitely different to the mail app. it's unified inbox and account switching was far better and it downloaded mail really fast.
Does anyone know where I can download the Bell JG9 firmware? Maybe i can extract the apk from it?
I've posted this question as well and have not received an answer. I have not been able to locate a sys file that would indicate that it is responsible for the Samsung Email. Either way, UGJH2 has it included so use that as unless you backed up JG9 I'm not aware of it being publicly available.

Sweet. I'll try that then and report back. At least I'm not crazy regarding it's existence.
How do I extract an apk from a firmware? I'm totally clueless...sorry
use Root Explorer to view /system/app, should be in there but the name might be different from what's shown in the app.
If you find it I'd be interested in having a look. Or can someone post a screenshot at least?

But that would require me to flash back to JH2 from JPC, and I'm not sure how easy it would be to flash back?
If I make a backup using clockwork, can I just flash that back, instead of having to do the whole JPC+root process?
you can also mount factory.rfs as loop device and then just get the apk from it
was just playing with some stuff and found this in the JH2 image: http://www.multiupload.com/PKYK17W8M3
Doesn't really work on my JPC though, stuck on "In progress..."

Wonder why only the Bell phones got the Smasung email app. So weird.
So I had to restore my JPC rom. This time however, samsung email was there. I'll dig around and try and find the apk.
In the meantime I took some screenshots. Just gmail accounts right now, since my schools IMAP server is down.

[Q] AT&T Visual Voicemail. Anyone get it working?

I'm unable to find AT&T VVM in the Google Play Store which I assumed to mean it wasn't compatible. I manually found a link to it and sure enough it says it's not compatible with my device and wouldn't let me install it.
I made sure my older S3 was up to date and pulled the APK off that and put it on my N6. It installs just fine and seems to start the setup process OK too. It asks me to call my VM to activate it, it auto calls my VM for me and then when I close out of the call I see the VVM app says its activating but after a bit it says it was unable to activate and to check my connection etc and asks if I want to call my VM to try again.
Someone made a post about no Verizon VVM either and I made the comment same on AT&T. Someone had replied in that thread with the following:

For ATT, this works fine, I use it.

However, this did not work for me. Same issue as the one I pulled from my S3.
Question is, did anyone get AT&T VVM working and if yes what APK and how?
Thanks!
Did you try turning off wifi before the setup? I've seen some say they have had to in the past, that only cellular activation would actually work. In any event, it works great for me...
The below is just a screen shot of it running on my phone... you can see i get past the point where your stuck at... ( att, just rooted and unlocked, stock everything else )

Used same apk as you, on LTE, worked fine for me on my unlocked Nexus 6.
Still not working.
I just spent the last 30 minutes on the phone with AT&T trying to figure out if there is a server side issue but they had to escalate the case.
Funny side note, the AT&T tech support guy tried to remote into my phone using their AT&T remote access app but I was unable to open the page to install it because the phone is not carrier locked. Apparently per the tech, the app only loads on carrier locked phones. He put me on hold while he went to talk to his supervisor and who said yeah won't work on N6's, they are not carrier locked.
During the process I let it slip out that the phone was unlocked, rooted and decrypted. Shouldn't be an issue warrant wise or insurance wise if ever needed should it? They don't keep track of that stuff I assume?
using app version 2.7.2.1
transferred app and setttings using helium from my nexus 5
works with no issues
Works fine for me. Worked fine on my T-Mobile sourced Nexus 5 and Play Store Nexus 4 as well. I don't think it is available on the Play Store though.
I was able to download the APK and just installed it directly. Opened it up just fine and set it up as normal (i turned wifi off as I always do for setup)
Specifically I installed version 2.10.1.27, got it at the link below
Visual Voice Mail Topic
Still not working and I'm running down the list of APK's at that link. I just keep getting what you see in the picture below.

OK I just tried ALL of the AT&T VVM apk's on that thread and they all gave the same error.
I am getting a different error. When I search up the application in the play store it says its not compatible with my device (AT&T Nexus 6 (Motorola). Anyone else seen that? Happened to a game or two as well.
I just installed the one in your link and it worked fine. Bone stock N6. Anyone have an apk for latest version that includes the sensor setting to turn off screen when phone is brought up to your ear?
Yeah I don't think it's been int he Playstore for Nexus users for a LONG time for some reason. That is why people pull the APK and put it in that XDA thread mentioned in this thread, because people need it and can't get it from the Playstore.
Still haven't gotten this working yet.
Worked fine here
Still not working today either! =(
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I've used Google Voice for VVM ever since Galaxy Nexus because of install issues with AT&T's VVM app. If you use Hangouts for SMS it is even more convenient because voicemails are merged with SMS and Hangouts conversations in the app keeping everything in one conversation thread.
I just had to make sure my wifi was off when first starting app but its worked fine on the last 2 custom AOSP roms I have loaded.

Hello

hmm, I am a fan of MobileLegends MOBA. Play everyday and I dont encounter such issue after the update B162. The only issue is GPU tends to underclock so much that game frame rates during battle are quite unbearably slow.
Maybe try to wipe cache and see first.

I will give this a shot
However, until now and even though I have this exact update B163, I am still having the force close problem
I have the same issue, can't download anything from the app store, there's often a couple of hours of delay. I would click the download button and it would show downloading, but nothing would happen. I'll leave the phone over night, and when I wake up it would have installed the app.
This also happens with imgur. I try to download an image, but nothing happens, then afer a few hours I would get a notification that the image is downloaded.
It seems they are aggressively closing background task responsible for downloading, to increase battery time.
But it's not working, I'm stills getting around 2-3 hours of screen on time
Cache was cleared more than 1 GB

The problem is still there. I guess I need to wait for the new update to come. I hope it will not take long but for now I will contact Huawei support
Disable Chrome
Hi, the constant force close is caused by chrome update, roll it back to v56 or disable it and it all works fine. I did the reset but as soon as i updated chrome to v61 force closes started. My phone is good now. I actually bought this phone yesterday and updated as the notification came.

If you have regular Pinterest already Installed it will conflict with the dark Pinterest installation so removed then try again because it works after doing this method
I installed the app, put my email, a password, name, and age, but the app keep saying I have to write down my age. The result is that I was unable to create an account and ended up uninstalling the app. It's a pity, because I was curious to see the look of the app. Regards
PS.: Nevermind. I managed to install it and yes, it looks great, very nice job. I had to install first the "regular" Pinterest app, create an account, then uninstall it, install Dark Pinterest, enter with my account data, and everything worked fine from there. Thanks for the app.

Very nice Dark Pinterest! Thank you! How can i keep it uptated from today?
if you can't create an account you can create it on official pinterest app, site or install apk editor and change the package name to com.pinterest
cant sign in at all.. Google button does nothing except popup account list.
edit: Login works, I had to download and install the original app from the Playstore,, login with that. now I can login,l
The download requires XDA login, and for some reason I am unable to login and proceed.
When we can expect this update from the Official Pinterest??
Hey guys, I've been enjoying this dark pinterest for over two months now, and I'd say it is really awesome.
Since mid August though, I have been seeing a notice saying "Update your app by August 15th to keep using your Pinterest". I'm however concerned that if I update it, I'll loose my beloved dark mode.
Has anyone updated their dark pinterest? Has it taken you back to the default white/bright pinterest? Please share your experience.
Thanks!
It took me back to the white pinterest after the update. So I uninstalled it and downloaded the Dark Pinterest again. Now it won't let me save anything or gives me this error message:
"Your action could not be completed. Update your app to keep using Pinterest."
It no longer gives me the option to update either. I tried to go in and find maybe a link to do so and found no such link. Although after reading through a bunch of things I did find something that said, if I continue using the app after September 28, 2019 I am ok with the new cookie policy. So... idk. Obviously a noob here so maybe I am missing something...

I also had the notice "Update your app by August 15th to keep using your Pinterest". I didn't update because I was afraid to lose the dark theme, since apparently the developer lost interest on this app. And yes, from some point I lose the ability to save pins but the app let me download them and that is enough for me. However, those who have updated (or when I also lose the dark theme…) can try this: install regular Pinterest and look if there is some Substratrum theme that will dark it. You can also make a copy of dark Pinterest with App Cloner and let it run along with normal Pinterest (I have made a copy and it works perfectly fine, so I can make two different searches at the same time in Dark Pinterest).

Hi,
I have the same problem. Tried everything.
I have same issue. Did try the same and reset the whole phone. Nothing helps. And I lost the new play store design with this new buttons on the bottom. Maybe that come back anytime. Android 12 almost ready for sure and will fix stuff like this
Hi,
Facing the same problem the only workaround I could find was to install apps is to search the app on the browser and open and install it from there
Same issue...also i cannot keyboard in some apps.

And the point with the new design, you can remove the google account and add again, then it comes back for a while. But, for whatever reason, it doesn't keep and it is going back to the old design very fast again. So, sadly there are no solutions at the moment, that work permanently. And yes, google app can help to find apps, at least as a transitional solution.
