Are you running Stock or a Custom ROM? I'm on CM7 and I can start the app, but playing a show will constantly buffer and then refuse to play. I am on Wifi, but lousy (2G) cell service. I can't see any way to restrict the app to wifi only. If its not defaulting to cell, then I'm having some kind of problem with CM7.

I figured it out. I was modifying my hosts file to block ads and it was blocking H+ pre-roll commercials somehow. Then it never went on to my program that I selected.
I had to "Revert" to my normal/stock hosts file. I was using AddFree from the market.

Can anyone *PLEASE* post this for those of us who do not currently have one of the "officially" supported phones... like the G2.
Thanks if you can help!

If you do not have one of the supported phones... Marketplace will not let you download it.
Any tricks??

I hear you but thanks to Hulu and Netflix I no longer have a $180 monthly bill from the cable company which not only also gives subscribers ads but also replaces the subscription channel's ads with their own promoting their overpriced crap.
I'd much rather pay $17 a month and have some very short ads and the ability to view all the content on any device I choose being that at home or on the go.
Think of it this way, have you ever had to spend the night at your cheap aunt's house who has only a land line telephone and an antenna for the tv and then not being able to watch Dexter, South Park, Mr. Bean or whatever show you really like during the night because you can't sleep on a strange bed?

I think I found a fix for this, as I was having the same problem. If you're comfortable with a command prompt:
su -
whoami
# should say "root" or "unknown uid 0"
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /system/etc
ls -al hosts*
# there should be "hosts" but not "hosts2". If "hosts2" exists but another number doesn't, just use some other unique hosts-like filename.
mv hosts hosts2
grep -v hulu hosts2 > hosts
ls -al hosts*
# now both hosts files should exist, and hosts should be a little smaller than hosts2. If that's not true, do not proceed.
rm hosts2
mount -o remount,ro /system

[APP][MOD] [UPDATED: 10-25-2013] Facebook v3.7 without location privelages

Here is the latest facebook official app with location 'feature' removed.
I am not sure if you guys who use the app know this, but facebook constantly tracks your location. There is a receiver built into the app that every time you "refresh" the app (Interval settings are found in the settings menu of Facebook) it gets your location and everything you do on Facebook, post a status, send a message, upload a photo etc, your location is added and you cannot turn it off..
So i decompiled the apk and removed all locations ability. That means, no checking in, no nearby, nothing that needs to get your location. You WILL get a forced close. I am working on trying to keep that enabled while dissabling the 'tracking' featrue. Just download, copy apk to your phones storage and use a file browser to install the APK.
Hope you guys enjoy the privacy while also enjoying the Facebook app.

Good idea, but I've turned my location of and it never shows my location when posting any thing.. when I send a private message it gives me the option to turn location of.. is this the same location receiver you are disabling from the app?

This mod will possibly use a tiny bit less. But it uses so much for its Cache. So things are loaded a lot faster and what not.

Are you talking about turning your location off under settings of your phone? Well thats different. There is no way to turn it off in the FB app itself. You can turn off the location thing for your messages but its still secretly getting your location.

Sorry it took so long. XDA is giving me some security error when i try to attach anything :/

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but a good app that stops location requests for any application is LBE Security Master. It will prompt you each time an application requests to use certain permissions. You can also check a box to never allow the application to access that setting, in this case it would be location.
Just search on XDA to find it, I'm on my phone and I don't think the app is on the market.

Whenever i tried using a third party app to block GPS to the Facebook app, it would cause the FB app to force close irregardless what you did.
I'll try the app and see what happens. Not sure how it goes about granting and denying access. In all honesty i was looking for something like this.

Just don't use LBE Privacy Guard on jelly bean, it caused my phone to freeze a few minutes after turning on and then rebooted and got stuck in that loop. The only way to resolve it was to use adb and remove the apps file.
The app I mentioned in my post above doesn't seem to have any issues besides that parts of it are in Chinese.

Works great so far -- subscribed to this thread -- thanks!

As far as I can tell it does. When I open Facebook, LBE pops up and asks me if I want to allow Facebook to track my location. It detects whether Facebook is using location tracking through WiFi or through GPS. I have not checked to see my posts to see if location is attached to them.

Interesting.. I wonder if it's blocking "locationmanager.getlastknownlocation" as well. This method doesn't access any hardware. It just reads what the last location known was. Meaning if any other app has access to your GPS and gets a lock, that location is remembered and then used by above method.
I feel much more comfortable completely removing the actual physical code no offence to your option though.
And for a thread update, I learned a new tool to help figure out what gets called where. so I might be able to add the ability to check in as well as use "nearby" in the app. And just disable the tracking!

Sort of. I know when notifications are enabled there is a service running. Also what's your refresh interval set at? If that's not disabled then that's what the service is.
If not it may just be in "empty applications" part of androids memory manager. Meaning it's dead but still there to increase launch time. I'm running cm10 and I use the "hold back to kill" option on Facebook so mine is 100 percent gone.

Hey, I recently installed AdAway too and noticed my #Animania stopped working as well err... to be precise- it no longer downloads nor plays any videos I wish to watch. I tried to play around with the settings and this seem to have worked:
Open AdAway and select "Your Lists"
Goto White
and Add the following:
play44.net
video44.net
videofun.me
Animania seem to have worked but I'm not sure if it's just my connection - downloading or streaming online is slower than usual

Frustrated Adaway user who has just found it is blocking most of the sites I use!

Solved: Adaway Whitelist
Ok this is how to solve this problem for any app. First turn off the Adaway blocking and reboot the phone. Then go back into Adaway but don't turn on the blocking. Instead tap the dots on the top right and select "Log DNS Requests". Now on this new screen you will see "logging is off" (or something like that) tap that and it will change to "logging turned on" nnow tap "open the log". It should be blank. Now select your recent apps button and scroll to the app you have been having problems with. Run the app to the point that you know it is working. Now go back to Adaway and open the log. You should see a bunch of websites. Long press on the first one and in the popup select "Add to whitelist". Do this for all the addresses. Now turn on Adaway blocking on its main screen and reboot. You should now have a working app and Adaway keeping adds out of the other apps. :good:

AdAway broke the app.
I went in app manager, cleared cache, Force stopped and uninstalled AdAway.
Did the same for the music download app.
Rebooted into recovery, cleared Dalvik and cache in recovery. Rebooted the phone. Reinstalled the download app, and it's still rendered useless.
The only thing that fixes it is to do a complete reinstall of the operating system and apps. before turning on AdAway. (which is what I did...)
I did the above-stated suggestion and it worked until AdAway updated host files again. Now the app is rendered useless again.
Is there any way to remove AdAway cache in root file system? Uninstalling the app doesn't remove these files.
Thanks in advance for any help

[Q] Removing Apps from Custom ROMs

Although I had rooted my SK4G a while back, it took me a while to get the courage to flash a ROM.
But yesterday, I successfully flashed MeMory. First off, many thanks to TheLastSidekick. He did such a better job than TMobile devs.
I could go on and on about his great work, but my only complaint is about Lightening Launcher which I can not warm to. I purchased and installed Holo Launcher Pro and would like to get rid of LL. Forgive my noob question, but are apps such as these removable in a custom ROM? Or do I have to freeze them with a third-party app. Or is LL a necessary component of the OS, used or not?
For that matter, I wouldn't mind getting rid of the stock browser, either. But again, I don't want to break anything.
Again, especially, thank you, LastSideKick,
Jake

adb shell
cd system/app
ls
rm eachappyouwanttoremove.apk
When your finished reboot
So no, not needed if you have another launcher
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Thank you for a quick, very helpful response.
Been running MeMory for two days now, and have yet to see the same problems I had w/ the rooted stock ROM: the maddening delays when trying to get to Phone, the occasional inability to physically answer a call, and the general slowness going from app to app.
Memory managment seems much better as well.
I hate that cliche "breathed new life into my phone," but MeMory really has
Jake

I've been using MeMory for almost a year with only one complaint: the JB keyboard does not work. Does it work on your phone?
In addition to using ADB, you can use a 3rd party app like Root App Delete by TopDev to remove system apps (those that came with the custom ROM). There's also a mode to disable an app first to make sure your phone works without it.

I have noticed crashing w/ JB keyboard. I must admit, I didn't pay much attention since I always use the physical KB. Thanks for the Root App Delete tip. I may look into that or just blast away with ADB and delete LL. But I would like to test the removal of the stock browser to see how phone functions without that.
Jake

I usually use the physical keyboard, too, but sometimes it's more convenient to use the screen keyboard. You can install the keyboard of your choice (Swype, Swift, Perfect Key, etc.) and then remove the JB keyboard.
I deleted the stock browser and installed a different browser with no problems.

Thanks much for your follow-up. I'm glad to hear that stock browser can be removed.
Jake

You can just disable them by renaming the extension, in case you need to have them in the future...
On the Droid2 I had to rename them *.bapk, as renaming them .bak, or *.apk.bak didn't work... VZ was wise to my first attempt, preemptively.

Here's the interesting thing: deleted gmail, stock browser successfully. Could not delete LL. I removed its apks, but it's still available in Apps and still starts. Is it hidden someplace else? Or really burned into the ROM?
Jake

Go to app store there is a app call /system/bin
This app will make all per programmed apps like YouTube or even play store deleteable
Then you just have to go to your settings apps look for launcher and delete..
Also ics keyboard is really good IMO . don't know if it works or not for the rom

Keep it friendly in here folks
Firstly, if you are having issues then providing Logcats are essential. You do not need to be rooted, you can do it via ADB
Code:
adb logcat > logcat.log
Secondly, just suggesting to flash a new FTF or repair via PCComapnion is not fault finding. There are a whole bunch of other stuff to do first such as logcats, and disabling apps or mods one at time and re-enabling them. There are many reasons why repairing or flashing FTF's is not the best thing to do in all cases.
Finally. Do not argue in the open forums.

I hope this would help. Took a screen shot of my z3(small apps not working) vs my z3 tablet compact (small App working). Both devices are rooted with the same set of xposed installed and almost the same set of apps. Now I took shot of the running app in the settings. The small app supposed to be open is n.memo however on my z3 it displayed that main service in use is Google play services instead of n.memo which is what is displayed on my z3 tablet
