So far so good :thumbup: I know Steve don't want this thread filled up with bug reports, so where do we post them if we find one ?

Is there an ad-blocker function built into this rom (l think ICS AOKP had it, right?)?

There is not an auto-updating adblocker built in, no. Ad blocking is done by editing the hosts file in /system/etc and a file full of adblocked links was indeed in the previous ICS builds of AOKP (and lots of other roms) and is NOT present in the current builds of JellyBean (AOKP or CM10).

You can either write your own hosts file (usually from here: http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt) and put it in the rom yourself, or get a program like AdFree which can do it for you automatically.

Ad blocking is near and dear to my heart. Unfortunately, ad free didn't quite listen to me when I reported a nefarious array of ad sites to them, and they blocked it completely wrong, thus allowing all the ads to come through anyway .. including ads for porn sites with NSFW pics in them. (A big **** YOU to the app developer who put that in his app, btw)

Therefore, I present the following zip. Flash it in CWM:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28682151/ad_block.zip

This will:

1. install an ad-blocking /etc/hosts file that is probably outdated, but has entries to block the porn ads I talked about .. entries I added myself.

2. install in init.d script that will, on boot, check the /etc/hosts file to make sure those entries I added myself are there. If not, it will re-add them.

What this means: you can go ahead and install ad free. It will update your /etc/hosts file to the latest version. On reboot, the nefarious porn ads will be blocked also.

I've used this technique on my phone for a long long time, and it blocks probably 99% of the ads that are sourced from the internet. The only ones it won't block are actually embedded in the apps themselves (dirty trick .. jerks).

Enjoy!

Okay, Blue CWM does not work, red cwm (devil) does a backup and makes the nanroid.md5. Restores as it should.

Boot animation takes forever and occasionally freezes. Latest boot took 4:45 and screen froze 14 times. Reboots when you try to connect USB.

If the entire domain is already blocked (smaato.net), what effect does adding the subdomains have?

Host file blocking blocks hosts and not domains. The original intended usage of a hosts file dates back before we all had DNS and you had to manually associate the host name with the destination IP. Making an adblocking host file just gives an invalid IP to the host so the ad can never be retrieved. A domain itself doesn't have an IP but the hosts within it do.

Its a WIP some please dont fill this thread with the lockscreen targets are to big or I would like this change stuff. I just wanted to see how they look and work on an hdpi device. Please dont make me regret putting it in this build for you.

    Hate to do this to you guys... but I'm dropping support for fascinate.

    Reasons:

    1) Can't find my fascinate.

    2) Time. Working, School and three other devices is proving to be to much and you guys have been getting neglected.

    3) Current state with CM, Jt has never said anything or even implied that he minded aokp basically just riding his work, but other members of CM are making a stink about it. So personally I will not be supporting any devices whos trees originated with CM. Prolly all Nexus devices from here on out for me.

    * This is not a hit on CM per se. I don't want to start anything here, they work hard on those trees and can do what ever they want with them. I'm just not gonna dance to get to use them.


    If someone wants to pick up the AOKP torch let me know. Ill help where I can. Be advised. If you plan on making the Fasciante official for AOKP you will prolly need a device tree that wasn't 99.9% written by JT1134.... unless you are JT1134.

    It was a fun run guys PM me if you need something I prolly wont be trolling here much more.

    I threw up a new build, it has long press back to kill and long press skip track from lockscreen. You will also see options for Bootaudio THEY DO NOT WORK, I need to work on them but I know you guys have been asking for those other options so I thought I would hook you up.

    Just chatted with Steve a bit. I'm going to see if I can get a brain-dump and at least try to keep the fassy going. I can't promise anything, and I doubt I'll have time for much more than just keeping up and minor maintenance work. But I'll at least try to keep the lights on for a bit.
