Im a medical student and I really would love to be able to use the newly available Android Medscape app (free from the market) on my phone.
Unfortunately, it says in description of the app that it may have problems with "rooted" phones. Im assuming it means our HD2's running android on NAND as well, because after installing the App on my phone, I am unable to update/download the Clinical reference data required for the app to work offline.
It gives the error "Internet connectivity was interrupted..Please try again"
Any help from the developers or anyone else would be very greatly appreciated

Looking at the description and the error you gave, have you tried disabling any ad-blocking software? It may be something cooked into the ROM - if so, try asking the dev how to disable it. DLing now - i'll post back what I find.
.............................
EDIT:
Ok, having found this question asked on the thread for the ROM I use, you can remove medscape from the adblock 'hosts' list. (find it in \system\etc).

I had to copy the file to PC before editing and copied back again using droidexplorer.

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention the ROM im using. Its Core Droid DHD 1.5, and it seems you may be right. It says in the description of the ROM that the "Adds are Blocked (Host files modified)". Is there any way to reverse this host file change?
Fixed it with the help of the developer of the Core Droid ROM. Just opened the app "Add free" and hit "revert". Restored the original host file. Medscape works now.
im having the same issue and clicking the "revert" bottom on AdFree did not fix it
I have uninstalled AdFree and have the same problem all the time. Anybody fixed this?
i had the same problem!
After i revert the hosts file in ad-free, medscape did not update the reference!
So what i did:
I did not unistall ad-free, but:
- i revert the host file 3 times in a row;
- i stopped the access of AD Free from SuperUser (root access);
- and i restart medscape (i killed the process with automatic task killer) and start it again;
- and voila, my htc g1 is updating the reference while i text.
(i don't know what are the steps that make medscape update, but i guess, is the revert host file and restart the app, to it starts didn't knowing that can't access that host to update)
I hope this help you!
Good luck
It works for me, reverted host files, stopped Adfree acces to Superuser and voila!! Medscape is updating again. Thanx
how to correct medscape installation please?thx\
SOLVED!
Just got an OTA update for my flyer and software got updated to version 2.27.1540.32
The android version is 2.2.4 while sense is 1.0
Just for the record, AdFree only works on ROOTED devices. i mentioned in another thread on xda that adfree does not work for me. with this OTA update, my Medscape is finally installing as i type this - - -
Just kill the AdFree app and immediately run Medscape app,it'll definitely take the update.I did the same and it worked
i try looking for file in \system\etc
in use editor to open file host.. thera are a lot of files,
and it make me confuse, where the file "medscape from the adblock 'hosts' list" is ???

Hi everyone!
Well, I've experienced the same "connectivity error" as everyone with a root cellphone, after reinstalling medscape app at my cell. I never had AdFree, and even though I'm able to found the hosts file and take a look of it with my pc it says absolutely nothing about medscape (only 127.0.0.1 localhost and emptyness after), so I guess I must be getting the wrong file or not accesing to it correctly?
I've tried everything you said, but is still not working.
I'm pretty new with android, and I would really aprecciate you help, given the fact that this is one of my favorities app!

i just rename file host in /system/etc via root explorer..then it works like a charm
note: ypu can rename it by any programs that's can mount and write root folder and explore (es file explore,x-plore,etc)
Rename?

In the initZygote() of a module, it is not possible anymore to access files under /data/data/<module package>.
For example, my module needs to load a native library in /data/data/<module package>/lib, with System.loadLibrary().
It fails with an error, as no file is visible under /data/data/<module package>.
Is there any workaround ? Is it possible to restore the pre-Lollipop behavior in Xposed ?

Code:
SELinuxHelper.getAppDataFileService()

Thanks for the pointer.
I could fix my problem trivially by moving some code from initZygote() to handleLoadPackage() which has permissions to access its own data directory.
I'm looking for a module to be created, or if I could do it not sure. Something to do the same as "lockscreen disabler" did in Xposed. Willing to donate. App in question for exchange email is "Email MOTOEMAIL.00.05.0072". Currently running XT1254, 6.0.1, stock rom. Thank you.

maybe it is enough if you download the module-template edit config.sh and module.prop to an ID if your choice and in config.sh also the REPLACE part with /system/app or priv-app/Lockscreen/ ?
something like this maybe? but here ends my know-how

First, that's not a donation you're talking about, it's a bounty.
Second, if it can't be done without Xposed, it can't be done with Magisk. So don't hold your breath.

What? I don't think you understand what the REPLACE part of the config.sh file does.
During installation, that little entry puts a file called "replace" in each folder listed, in the module folder structure. Every time Magisk mounts a module and finds that file it will completely wipe (systemlessly, of course) the corresponding folder in /system.
If you want to replace a file on your device with one you've edited, all you have to do is to put that file in the module zip, under the same folder structure it can be found on your device. After that Magisk's Magic Mount will do it's thing...

From what I can tell it disables the lockscreen while tricking apps that require a lockscreen into thinking it's enabled.
Easy-ish with Xposed, impossible with Magisk unless you manually edit the app in question to not detect the lockscreen state and then use a Magisk module to mount it to your device.

That is correct. When i opened phone before it just had swipe up to open. Now I have to enter lock code every time. I haven't done anything with adb before, always do everything from the phone. I've seen the apk "exchangenopin" but I can't try it, cause I can't download the apk anywhere. Those from other thread seem to go to ad sites. I figured that it wouldn't of been that difficult because the exchangenopin "supposedly" works w/o Xposed. That's why I was hoping for a module. I found something to replace my "insert custom text" module from Xposed, now just need something to replace for lockscreen. Lol. Liking Magisk though.
I experienced the same problem with my realme 5i smartphone, I tried to install the latest Magisk via the OrangeFox recovery because I had never rooted my smartphone before. but I have installed pixel 5 archipelago project. In this case, after installing magisk and successfully entering the lockscreen, here the problem occurs because I can't enter the lockscreen PIN and can't do anything, I can't even turn off my phone. But here I found a solution, namely using a google account and trying to wipe data via the Google Play application, namely find my devices and then delete it there and it worked for me
I've been trying to activate Adhell 3.1 on my Note 9 all morning but I haven't had any success. I created a Samsung dev key (starts with KLM06). I successfully built the app with android studio and installed it on my phone. I enter the key into Adhell 3 but it never gets beyond the attached screenshot. Has anyone else experienced this?
Try rebuilding the app. Are on pie beta build? Any other ads blocking up installed?

To anyone having problems, I'd recommend downloading the APK as opposed to building / verifying it is signed correctly, etc. You can find the APKs in the MediaFire link in the Reddit post. Here's the steps (taken from the reddit post) :
Obtaining a Samsung Knox License key:
Enroll as a developer with this link: https://seap.samsung.com/enrollment
Ensure you're signed in.
Generate a license key with this link: https://seap.samsung.com/license-keys/create#section-knox-standard-sdk
This link should take you to the "Knox Standard SDK" under "Legacy SDKs".
Choose "Enterprise license key".
Enter something in "Add a key alias", e.g. test.
Click on "Generate License Key".
Installing application:
Download newest build of AdHell 3 from MediaFire folder.
Build numbers are in file name. Higher numbers are newer builds.
Download APK Editor Pro.
Copy of this app is provided in the same MediaFire folder with the name apkEditorPro-1.8.28.apk.
Alternatively, you can download it directly from the dev's site: http://www.apkeditorfree.com/
Open APK Editor Pro.
Choose "Select an APK File" and find the downloaded apk file.
Select "Common Edit".
Edit the "Package name" field and change it to a unique name.
It's best to stick to the same package ID length. 3.8.9 characters
If you use same name each time, you should be able to just install updates over your existing AdHell 3.
Ensure "Rename the package name in resources.arsc" is checked.
Press Save.
Press "Install".
Activating AdHell 3:
Grant the app administrator privileges.
Enter your Knox license key.
Submit the key.
Activate.

This did not work for me. I installed apkEditorPro-1.8.28 and opened the adhell3.1.1 apk (which I downloaded from the MediaFire link). I changed the package name to something unique (I kept the 3.8.9 naming convention). The updated apk won't install, however: "There was a problem parsing the package."
@keredini
I fixed the parser error produced by APK Editor Pro. The apk installed, however I am back to where I began. I enable admin, copy my license key over, click activate and I don't get beyond the screenshot in my original post. I'm not sure why.

I enabled admin first then copied and pasted the KPE development key. It does not activate regardless of whether I install Ahell from an APK or build it from source.
I downloaded the APK from the mediafire link, but couldn't get it to activate when following the instructions to edit the APK. So I just installed without editing, and it activated and is working fine.

I’m not sure why they ask to edit the apk? i think as it says adblocker that’s against the T&C of Samsung Knox, well we will find out if Samsung check and disable our Samsung dev key only time will tell..

I remember reading somewhere that adblocking was a no-no in Samsung's eyes, so I uninstalled and followed Demati's instructions, as well as renamed the package, and it installed and activated with no issues.
I'm really feeling insane as I can't get it to activate and I'm following the same directions and guides as everyone else.
Where did you download the APK? I got it here: https://m.mediafire.com/folder/sb37c6gmhqgbn/AdHell_3. Then change min SDK version to 14, and rename the package (3.8.9 format). Also maybe try generating a new KNOX license key.
Even after changing the SDK min number, I still get the parser error...
All, I want to report that I have it working! I'm not quite sure what did it. I revoked my current KPE license and then issued a new one. At the same time I uninstalled Adhell and then reinstalled it from the APK that I downloaded from MediaFire (and fixed using APK Editor Pro). I rebooted my phone then I opened the app and to my shocking surprise it activated! I want to think that it had nothing to do with revoking and issuing a new KPE dev license but who knows? Maybe this was an issue on Knox license server.
Hi all,
My last working license expired yesterday and I have generated a new license key. I can activate AdHell 3 anymore. I had rebuilt package with custom name. I have created a new package with a new name and still I can't activate the license. Error 102.
I noticed that SEAP website changed. Am I missing something?

If the pixel 4 is any like pixel 3 with its logical partitions you'll have to use magisk to add to system. Easy way download a magisk module. Then go to /data/adb/modules then the module you installed if u need to add to /system/app you might have to add the /app set permissions then add what is wanted set permissions then restart. easy way without having to make your on module you can always go to magisk thread an learn to make a module as well either way only way I've been able to do it on Android 10 which I reverted back to pie so much better in my opinion

Android 10 requires you to so any system changes through Magisk in a "systemless" manner. As mentioned above, it needs to be in a module. If you can't do it yourself, ask for help from one of the devs. If it is a common task that others could benefit from, create a thread with the request and I am sure someone will come through...

I think it needs to be done "systemless" with a magisk module. Maybe if you ask @Tulsadiver nicely, he might be able to give you a template or even make you up what is needed. If so and it's possible others might have used for it you could share it.

You are welcome to try this. Put your file in the vrtheme/system/bin folder. Leave the system folder alone. This is untested.
