Live Now by Adi unable to get to certain websites - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I am new to all of this and trying to learn. I moved from stock to PAC-ROM and now am on Live Now by Adi. I have noticed an issue with the Live Now. When I try to go to certain websites that I went to on the stock and PAC-ROM. The Live Now will not display the site and says it is unavailable.
An example of one site that worked on the others but not Live Now is wixt.com If anyone could provide any insight or direction on how to fix this. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

The name of the ROM is Sungsonic HD. Not Live now haha. The rom has adblock preinstalled.

Hi Luigi,
Thank you for the reply and correction on the name of the ROM. Do you know if there a way to disable the adblock?
Thanks,

I was able to get by the issue. I noticed in the main thread someone mentioned adaway. I downloaded it from the play store but it just frooze whenever I tried to open it. I then uninstalled it and out F-droid on my tab as noticed on the support site. After installing adaway using F-Droid adaway worked and I restored my host file correcting my issue.
Thanks everyone tor your help

DID S72. You can try freezin adblock in titanium backup, that may prevent the issue,
I have been using sshd v4 for almost 2 weeks, hadnt had much issue wid browser or may be I dint notice.

adobe flash on my rooted phone?

Hello all,
I am wondering why I cannot install flash on my thunderbolt. I am running BAMF... Is there any fix for this? The thunderbolt is approved by Adobe according to their website.
Thank you!
I have no problems installing flash on bamf.

You might have to uninstall it if there is a copy on there. Then reboot and reinstall. That fixes it on virus rom. So no guarantees.

I have it installed fine but it doesn't work worth a ****. I get the question mark on flash content. I'm also on das.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I don't have it installed. I cant even download it. When I click on it on the Adobe website, it says my device is unsupported. (even though my device, the thunderbolt, is on the list of supposed devices on Adobe's site).
i've watched hulu and the ncaa tournament stream on my thunderbolt...it works fine.
you know it's an app in the market right? you dont go to adobe's site..
Nevermimd, got it working. thanks for all the help and replies everyone!

Ad downloads to my phone itself.

Hi.
I've got a little problem with ads on my android. About two days ago I saw an advert in my gallery (WTF!?!?). It was in data/com.admarvel.android.admarvelcachedads/ads/c22102 dir on my phone memory. Always when i delete it, the ad downloads to my phone's memory even if i dont do anything on my device. I checked on my app list and i dont have any thing like admarvel etc. Im wondering if it's a virus or something like that.
Does anyone know how to get a rid of that thing?
Hmm download #root unstaller
And look for the app and then delete it
Well, my phone is not rooted. I had a lite'ning rom (root included) installed on it but i flashed it with stock firmware. is it possible that official firmware (downloaded form samfirmware.com) had this ad in it? If i really have to root my phone can you tell me if there is a way to root it without flashing? I've got a galaxy s2.
OK, I downloaded the Root Uninstaller on my unrooted pohne... i cannot find anything that could be the "ad downloader" ;/ Do you have any ideas or someone had this problem before ?
Hmm do you have task manager??
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
Yeah. Galaxy S2 has it build in. BTW. nothing in there ;(
EDIT: Does the factory reset remove all of my apps and their data?
EDIT2: OK it does.
Factory was the last step i dont like a reset for something like that
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
If factory reset is the last step, is there still something else that you can think of before the last one xd?? Honestly, im wouldnt be so happy to do that (but if its the last hope xD...).
Looking in task manager/ sending me screens of all installed apps

There is 27 screenshots (from root uninstaller) in the attachment.

Do you have an Opera web browser installed on your phone? Apparently they don't want me to post a link because I just registered on this website, but the article says Opera has acquired Admarvel. I have this browser installed on my phone and also have ads downloading in /data/com.admarvel/ads into folders with names such as c26417 and c26419.
I was wrong. It is Shazam that puts those ads there.

There's no difference coming from an older version. Running neak 4.03 on my Galaxy sii. From what I can see, it's lacking the magazines and other new options, in fact it looks identical to the previous version. Has anybody else seen these new features?

Yes checked the version number I have it installed and working but how did the play market completely uninstall that's just weird.everything is stock no custom Rom or kernel it's just rooted.
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app
I know this is off-topic, but it's still mostly about the system/app folder o.o A few hours ago I pulled the updated market from the 4.1OTA zip and got it working. Any idea how to get Google Now working? I know it's pretty much locked down, but it's quite the wonderful thing.

Rom development.

Hi guys, great forum btw.
I have an ainol novo8 discover, (a supposed quadcore ipad mini alternative)
I really need a new rom for this device as the stock firmware is terrible. However search as I mite I can find nothing.
The device is rooted and using es file explorer I tried to remove the bloatwarw, to no avail, uninstall unsuccessful is what im greeted by.
My first question is how do I uninstall these apps? I have dissabled them through settings-apps but I want them gone completely.
My second question is where do I start when working on a new rom for a device? Please note that ainol have yet to release the source code for the ainol discover.
Anyway guys thank you all for your time and patience, and please be aware im a newbie to all this so please do try to simplify your answers.

You have to give some time for people to reply lol, check out Rom Toolbox, you can uninstall everything is you want.
in the upper right is a box "Type to find your device" put your device in there and it will take you to your phone, from there you can access the info you are looking for.
Fair point, sorry.
Just very frustrating device.
Ainol havent released there firmware yet anyway so I guess theres no way of creating a rom without it.
Thankyou btw for mentioning rom toolbox, with that es file manager and a factory data reset I managed to get rid of all of the bloatware (that I know of ) off the device.

Google search not working after update, help

As the title states my Google search is no longer working after the new update. The only way I can get it to work it to clear cache, data, and uninstall updates which will then revert the app to factory form. After doing all that the app works no issues but then the app updates itself and then i keep getting same error message every time I try to load it.. Anyone else have this issue? Running P6800 with JB 4.1.2. Thanks in advance.

Same here. Reverted to the previous version and waiting for the update with correction (hopefully),
I just did a phone reset hoping it would solve the issuebut nothing. Google just released a new update and still same problem.

Indeed, the release of 11/21 is no good either.
I have been looking all over the net and can't seem to find any info on this, Google hasn't even acknowledged there is something wrong. Maybe this is only affecting a very small number number of people.

Both Google Now / Search and Newsstand have been crashing on launch with the stock ROM. But on my other JB devices no such problem. I tried rooting this tablet. No change. Then I flashed the unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1. That solved the problem.
My assumption: the Samsung stock ROM is the source of the problem.
What did I learn?
- My tablet is running smoother without all the Samsung crap. I should have done it even sooner!
- I will probably gravitate in the future to Nexus devices where the OS is not compromised by vendor-motivated overhead. And it's easier to get updates and custom ROMs.
- Because Samsung has not been fully cooperative with the developer community, ROMs often lack certain device drivers. (Another advantage for Nexus.)
If this motivates you to root and flash just be aware of two known deficiencies with the ROM I am using:
-no tethering
-once you turn off wifi you'll have to reboot to turn it on again.
(Thanks, Samsung for withholding wifi device drivers from the public.)
We shouldn't have to install custom roms in order for an app to work. I have tried to report the issue to Google but I have yet to receive feedback. I have flashed many roms and many of my Android devices but I longer wish to do so since no one rom is fully functional as it should, there will always be issues. I too may consider a Nexus device, but at the same time I have always liked Samsung and their products but this one issue with this app is a little annoying.

What I don't understand is that my wife's Note I I was able to update with no issues, her phone is running JB 4.1.2. I'm no tech or anything but I believe it may have something to with our tab itself.

After flashing the JB 4.1.2 Indonesian firmware, my Google search has stopped working. No matter what I do it always crashes.

Hi Manipur,
Try to download this:
http://sdrv.ms/18hoDxb
Let me know if any problems.
Whether Samsung or Google, the android environment can come across as chaotic. So much going on with all various versions.
Samsung keep selling us pretty much the same devices with new software, I'm not particularly impressed their pace of improvements.
Google products seems to work well on Apple ios, android is still missing functions available Apple for a good while now, funny how that works.

Oops. Too bad, that is the oldest one I have, and it works fine in my case.
I know I'm not the only one with this issue, anybody have an any ideas as to why Google search no longer works, even after new updates. On My wife's Note II she gets all the updates with no issue, she is also running 4.1.2. This is really pissing me off.
