abdlockplus for android

So I was reading that adblockplus has been ported to android, but the site I read it on had the source code, but no pre-compiled binary.
I'm without regular access to a computer for the forseeable future and was wondering if anyone might be able to compile the patch into a custom jf 1.31 update (rc30 variety please.)
Anyway, the website where I read about this is here:

Thanks in advance, cheers guys!

I basically implemented the autorotating in a hacky fashion. When I do it "right" (by adding a menu item that gives you the option to turn it on and off), I'll ask JF to include it in his next update.

This is most excellent news. I'm expecting my ADP1 next week and I was dreading having to deal with ads once again (like in the olden days of the internets, before Adblock). Hopefully this port of Adblock will be available to us all soon.

How is one supposed to apply the .patch files? Am I supposed to apply them to the source of the Browser and then recompile?
Would that screw up my themes if I have an icon for the Browser?

You can install Droidsans, mount the file system rw, enabled auto rotate. Make the file system read only again, Reboot.
Uninstall Droidsans and you still have auto rotate with no application installed.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say. the droidsans auto rotate tool doesn't work with the browser. The browser is a special case and that's why a modified browser was released that has auto-rotate.
Are you saying that the modified browser with auto-rotate works with the droidsans auto rotate tool?
Meaning if I have the modified browser and use droidsans auto rotate tool to disable autorotate, the modified browser will have autorotate disabled?

as for the browser, download koush's auto rotate browser or steel....both auto rotate....
you dont need droidsans for the browser to autorotate if you have either of the above installed.

Any more news on this? I would dearly love to be able to block ads on my Dream, for several reasons. I do hate ads, but that's not the biggest problem. The problem is the small screen size and limited bandwidth on 3G. Ads are just no good on a phone browser.
There's a .patch file included in the updated blog post (http://www.gotontheinter.net/content/adblock-plus-ported-webkit) but I have no idea what to do with it, how to use it.

I really took Adblock Plus and NoScript for granted on Firefox.. I recently installed the Windows 7 Beta and the first 10 minutes were just unbelievable on the net. With every click I had two other windows popping up. Can't imagine the web without this.
Don't know about web on android. I only use it occasionally, usually Market, Maps or MSN. But it would definately be a more than welcome addition.

Has anyone figured out how to actually "apply the patch" yet?
I tried just installing it as normal but it failed.
Maybe the file has to be copied somewhere?

It's a git diff. Use git-apply to apply webkit-adblockplus.patch to your local copy of Android source and compile it.

Unfortunatly, some of us are on Windows and even if we have the source and apply the patches, we can't build it.
If anyone here is on OS X or Linux and can build the ssource and upload the .APK of it, I'd really appreciate it.

Ok, so I'm on my main Xubuntu desktop (I was on a business trip with my MSI Wind running XP last post) but I had some problems with my computer so (after backing up /home) I reinstalled...
So what do I need to get from Synaptic to compile this thing? I have a copy of the Android source, but I probably need to reinstall everything that was on http://source.android.com/download#TOC-Ubuntu-Linux-i386- right?
Thanks for your help,

P.S: I still think it'd be useful if someone could post a compiled build of the browser with AdBlock Plus... If I can get it working, I'll post mine.

Hi, I am the one who made this (the link in the first post just copied from my blog, http://vogue-android.blogspot.com). The patch is against cupcake's webkit, since that is what we are running on the HTC vogue. I suspect it won't apply against the pre-cupcake source, and binaries certainly won't work. Note it's not a change to the browser.apk, but rather the libwebcore.so. If you're already running cupcake on the g1 the patch should apply cleanly to the current HEAD in git. Otherwise, you'll need to wait for cupcake on the g1.

Sorry for the late reply but yes its a 32b Rom and as far as wifi i havent tried it out yet if it doesnt work plz let me know.

does the music app work ? in other releases it would force close. if it works ill flash and give it a try

well, i tried it and the keyboard FC. also the lock screen jumps between lock and main screen. it wouldnt let me make phone call or text. i will wait for further updates. just fyi to everyone else.

Will I be able to flash this on my phone and then some 32a kernel patch??
Or will that cause a brick?

Same here locks up keyboard on setup... nice looking rom tho

Just a thought here... and if not I understand. But could you make a version that simply has everything installed to /system which will make the rom incredibly fast even without swap. That way we would only need fat32 and linux swap partitions. I understand that it would mean no apps2sd but that really isn't necessary... If you're unsure check out Evil D's nano Sense v 1.1 to see just how fast fast can get. http://bit.ly/1GOfDS

That is a great idea and I will look into that I'm trying to fix the keyboard issue as we speak and most likely it will be fixed on the next release I am running it on my phone as well to catch most bugs the music player is very buggy I will work on that too and the autorotate as well

Dialer closes upon any number being pressed. Making it unusable.
Google contacts are not there... even after managing to get signed in at the setup.
pressing "del" in messager backs you back to the thread messaging screen.
Lock screen flicks.... does pretty much anything with keyboard.

Google contacts aren't there by default with pulse roms... you need to go to settings and turn sync on for contacts. It's off by default for some dumb reason.

[Think Tank] Lets PORT the Eclair Browser to the G1

Hello all I would like some assistance on how to PORT over the Browser from Eclair. I have successfull installed the Flash application from the Droid-eris on my G1. Any thoughts. This may be the way to getting flash on our devices.

The droid eris is android 1.5, not eclair. Lots of people have wanted to and tried to bring flash over, but so far no good.

If you go to android-platform group, you will see that JBQ try to port all to ADP1 and lot ot things work.
We must wait and it will be come
See this link http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/53c6f66d5dc155bd

As I understand it, *right now*, you can simply compile the android master branch for HTC DREAM, and it will work fine except for no camera.

To be honest, I took a quick look last week, and most of the new UI prettiness stuff is webkit and/or framework based, so coming up with an APK that'll run on Donut will be a nightmare. Other things (e.g. double tap zooming) I'm doing in my browser already. I might have another play this weekend, but to be honest I think I'll wait until 2.0 ROMs start to appear before I really get my teeth into the 2.0 browser code.
You do know Eclair doesn't have Flash (yet)?

I stopped using it for this reason. Having to switch text input was irritating me. I just use the stock keyboard, works fine.

I stopped using it because of this issue until I flashed CM7. Figured i would give it another try. It has not stopped working in the 3 days that I have been using CM7, so maybe it had something to do with AR?

Does it come on all the roms? Can't find swype on mine.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I have the same issues with Swype on AR 3, and now RCMix HD 4.1... But since there's an easy workaround, I'll keep using it as I like Swyping so much.

It works fine on my stock, un-rooted Inspire. I just simply downloaded the latest Swype apk file, and side loaded it through SWM. Simple, clean and easy. It works flawlessly, and has been for weeks now.

I just started having this problem today actually. I have been using it for a week and a half now. Don't know why it just happened today. I had to reset it twice earlier but fine now.

you have to sign up for the beta here where they send you a download link. At which point in your browser it may tell you that you are not using an android device. If you encounter this change your settings to show as a mobile and then you should be able to download and load it the way they show there
link as follows

After reading the terms of service on XDA regarding swype, I removed this post. The post linked to another member who linked the apk file. In the future, anyone considering posting a swype apk file should read this...

okay the only ua string options I see is
Android - Doesnt work get message that I need to update Adobe Flash
Desktop - Doesnt work get the same message
iPhone - Does work but so far every tv show, movie, clip, or trailer I click say The video is not available on the iPhone
so ya if you can go over the string part and let us know which your using that would be appreciated.

just takes the ability to know that you have to complete all the steps listed in any instructions for anything to work.
a correct way to say it, would have been something like:

I see that your on such and such rom, does it only work for that style of rom, or did I do something wrong?"
Well something, somewhere around something like that.

(Some stock browsers make you got into Advanced settings to see next option, some don't)
Select user agent
If your browser doesn't offer this option, you fail a step and the logical next step is to get a browser/rom that has that option.
