Well the source code is available to anyone on github. If I still had a windows phone id continue development on this app because it is so damn useful. I apologize for anyone that has had issues with it. It's been a good run! Maybe someone will find a new way to block ads on the phone.

Cheers!

When i update my host file on the lumia 640 my data and wifi completely stop working..........I dont understand why it is happening. Not even a hard reset can fix so i have to reflash a stock ROM

Patched Xap

I Edited the source code to change the default source files and added a second undo button.
Let me know if it solves the problem for anyone who is already affected.
I apologize if the app crashes. I really have no idea when it comes to Windows phone apps.

:confused:

OK..... So some research has been done on a 640
It turns out that on the old sources if you waited a few hours after install / reboot. everything would start working and you could start using the phone online.

I have a new "Optimized" Host file available that supposedly will only kill the internet for ~10 minutes after reboot. I will do further testing over night and if the 10 minute rule still applies then I shall upload the new file with a warning.

If anyone would like to test it. PM me and ill send over he new version.

If you got that error then you are not fully unlocked. You need capabilities unlocked and interop unlocked.

I know this isn't the place for this but I doubt I'm going to get my question answered in another section anytime soon so here it is:

All I ever wanted was to use an Adblocker for my Lumias similar to what Adaway does on my Nook HD+ tablets with CM11; therefore, I followed the download MixRadio from the store, and move it to SD card approach to Interop-unlock my Lumia 521 & 640; I was successful in executing the CustomWPSystem_0601.xap & vcREG_MIX_RADIO_bootstrap.xap which gave the Lumia Registry Editor, WPSystem Folders, etc. and (Supposed Interop-Unlock through the template settings); it's obviously not unlocked since I can't deploy AdBlocker_modded.xap (The one from this specific forum) without getting an "Error - 0x81030120" with the SDK 8.1 Deployment tool all the time. Is it no longer working? Is my computer bad? Am I not doing it correctly? Thanks you.
