I recently got the new Nexus 7 running 4.3 and wondering if there's a way to block ads without rooting (I mean ads from webpages while using your browser). I had rooted my phone a long time ago and remember there was a great adblock that did the job perfectly. But I don't want to root the Nexus 7.
On my laptop computer, I use AdBlock as an extension the the Chrome browser. But extensions don't exist on the Chrome Android version (at least not that I'm aware of).
I did fine an ad blocker (forgot the name) that used a proxy, but it was a pain as you had to manually add the proxy to every wifi connection and it also wrecked havock on some websites (e.g. couldn't log into e-bay).
These ads really slow down web surfing, specially when your browser is in "Desktop" user agent mode.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a rooted (w z4)droid x thats running 2.21. The update keeps failing so I did a factory restore...now every reboot takes me to clockwork mod recovery boot screen....but once it boots...update fails
I don't have bootstrap, clockwork mod or original z4 installed but it seems it's still rooted. I still seem to have the super user app installed. What can I do know to wipe it...and install a new update?
I cannot receive text messages. I can successfully send them, and my data/internet work fine. I saw other posters had those issue, but where mine is different, is that all of my conversations were deleted, except for sent/received picture messages. If a particular conversation didn't have a picture in the conversation, it was completely deleted.
I've tried my settings, turning the phone off, doing a battery pool. Nothing has worked. I of course would like to do everything possible to not have to do a factory reset, but if I have to, I have to.

I can run it fine on a phone running 1.5 but when I try to launch it with an emulator running 1.5, the emulator doesn't show up on the list of available AVDs. I have the <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3"/> tag in my manifest but it doesn't make a difference.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've created a class which is an extension of Thread. This class hits a web service and throws some data on screen. I don't care about persisting this data (the screen displays search results).
Currently, the user simply types into an EditText and clicks a search button. I'd like to take away the search button and implement something similar to Google's Instant Search where, as you type, the search results get updated.
This means, as the user types, the search parameters change. I want to be able to kill the currently running thread (if one is currently running) and spawn a new one with the new search string. How can this be achieved? Can I do it with Thread or will I need to use a new object?

so jail breaking an iphone is so simple but rooting my lg g2 seems a lot harder to do. Is rooting kind of like jailbreaking? Does it have an app like cydia where you can download programs?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI used to be a big IOS jailbreaker. I had been doing it for 4 years, before taking up android just a couple months ago. (and i must say, android is MUCH better). Anyway i know that basically during the jailbreaking process, the software uses an exploit on bootup and injects codes during the signature check on every level to make the idevice think that what it is running is legit, unmodified apple software. Hence why tethered jailbreaks need the original program to bypass iboot, because an exploit has not been found deep enough in the system to work in iboot aswell.
So how does rooting compare? Dont be afraid to explain using big words and in detail.
my tablet was orginally a samsung galaxy GT-P5113, however I rooted it and everything and now it's a 4.3 GT-P5110.
I rooted it because everyone said it would be better, however, how is limited access better? Did I do something wrong?
I can't download anything that has to do with samsung and I can't even download the samsung app store.
We have just bought a superpad 8 tablet running ICS 4.0.4 and are having trouble rooting.
z4root is what we have used in the past with older tablets, but it doesn't want to work with this tablet.
Any way to root using adb? I have used this method in the past with a Galaxy Nexus which worked no problem, but this tablet is proving to be stubborn!
What's actually happening is the tablet isn't being recognised by any machine I connect it to. USB debugging is enabled.
To start with it did pop up on my desktop saying install drivers, but now it does not show on any machine, not even in device manager!
ADB shows no devices obviously, but it's strange how it no longer wants to be detected
Is it possible to root without an exploit? I am trying to use fastboot but fastboot devices shows empty. Even the command oem unlock shows "Waiting for device". Heimdahl is not supported for my device i.e. GT-S6312. All the custom ROM installation in the forum shows using a exploit to root the device.
