Hi,
I decided to write a guide how to get rid of ads in Angry Birds Rio since I didnt found any solution in the web.
So... First download and install Ad free app from the market (root needed).
After that use your favorite file manager (ES explorer) and go to /system/etc/ and open hosts file.
Go to the end of it and add:
Code:
127.0.0.1 neptune.appads.com
127.0.0.1 neptune1.appads.com
127.0.0.1 neptune2.appads.com
127.0.0.1 neptune3.appads.com
127.0.0.1 galatea.appads.com
127.0.0.1 galatea1.appads.com
127.0.0.1 galatea2.appads.com
127.0.0.1 galatea3.appads.com
Save the file. Reboot maybe is need.
Enjoy your Angry Birds ad free version.
How I found the hosts?
Easy. Just extract the angry birds apk go to assets and open file project.properties.
Regards,
Ross

I dont want to argue with some guys which in our country call "wooded philosopher".
Means someone who dont have experience but argue with others cause he read something about somewhere
People who play AB Rio 1.4.4 know what I'm talking about.
Cheers!

It works on Angry Birds and loads of others.
I was about to say something else.
These ads are there for a reason, and it's also the reason why you don't pay for the game.
Getting rid of ads, which bring profit to the game developers, equals stealing from them in the same way as pirating an app. You don't want ads? Buy a paid version. That would be fair.
I saw the feedback and understand they've put some nasty adds there in the last update (never downloaded, so I don't know first hand). Still, even downrating them would be a better idea IMO.
This is why more and more of developers will be switching to some type of ad-blocking detection, refusing to run an ad-supported app if ad-blocker is found.
Absolutely agree with you Jack_R1!
Android games are cheep so everyone can buy full version of them.
Unfortunately this version of AB is free but full of nasty animated huge ADs.
So I was forced to use my brain to remove them.
I wanted to share my opinion with other members which are pissed off there ads but I see some "wooden philosophers" spreading "brain" around
Regards!
P.S.
Btw you can stop ADs just by switching off your internet (wi-fi and mobile)

While I appreciate the fact that you're trying to help, it doesn't give you the right to be rude... especially when other users are trying to be helpful. By your definition of wooden philosophers, they are people closed to ideas other than what they think is right... and you're demonstrating that first hand by turning down posts from other users.
You have offered a tutorial for ad blocking, for that I am grateful... but that doesn't mean nobody else is allowed to suggest a different approach...
And please understand that despite what you may think, this is not YOUR thread... you don't own this, or any other part of xda, just because you started a thread. Its a community and we're all here to share and learn. So learn to be a little more tolerant about other members' opinion. Everybody can be wrong at times... it's not a sin, it's being human.
Peace.

If I switch off "mobile network" in quick settings, then the adverts never appear, probably no surprise really.
Am I missing something, or is there some fatal flaw in this simple solution?

Nope - ads have to be downloaded when you play - apps apparently can't cache them (thank god) - so if you have no internet, you have no ads.
Ad free, ad away, pdroid and droidwall. that's my recipe.

Agree, at most cases droidwall should be all what's needed to stop adds (especially at ab).
I would recommend to the op to try other solutions (and also search for them) and be open for different ways, before starting to flame others (or much better never flame others), even if the attempt to help is appreciated.
I use adblock on my desktop browser, but i find getting rid of ads in mobile applications kind of questionable practice.
Thank you for sharing this

I guess he said what he said cause ad free doesn't get rid of angry birds rio ad's, and so you would know just reading his first post, where the first step is to download ad free to edit the host file that is created.
As both Jack_R1 and artemy_m have pointed out, in different ways, there is a reason for these adverts being in there - they help to generate money for the developers. Without these we will end up going down the Apple route whereby you have to pay for most things and it will all be locked down much more.
I use ad-block software with my PC web-browser, in order to get rid of all the really annoying audio/video ads which take up stupid amounts of bandwidth and actually interfere with day-to-day working (have you ever tried showing a customer where to look for certain things only to suddenly get an audio jingle for women's sanitary products coming from your speakers?) On my PC, however, I have the ability to NOT block ads on those sites I choose to support - Linux sites, Slashdot and the like. That is my choice - and if it were simpler on Android then I might do the same thing. However, I can't do that easily - and the way I see it, if an app is useful to me then I either purchase the pro version to get rid of the ads, or I support the developer by leaving the adverts on.
HI all,
I'm somewhat new here -- been lurking a while, and have recently started posting. Anyways, I recently hit the marketplace with a free app I've developed, ScoreKeeper Plus: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bammsoft.scorekeeper
In a nutshell, it's a score keeping app, tailored towards board games and the likes, with many uses. Additionally, I've included a few useful utilities for such events -- a highly configurable dice roller and a game timer.
So far, I've received perfect reviews from my modest user-base (~20 users), but I'm looking to grow that and get some feedback to further development.
The app is free and has no ads, so please share with all who may find this useful!
All feedback is HIGHLY appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

Why does the app need permission to read contact data on the phone?
The description says why internet access is needed, but the combination of that and reading contact data for an app that doesn't seem to obviously need the phonebook could look suspicious.

See screenshot attached.
Hi sorry, I missed this question. Thanks to the poster above, yes it's to pick player names from your contact list.
The network permission is to pull a message of the day when you first launch the app. The MOTD let's me communicate with my users. It pulls from here: http://android.bammsoft.com/ScoreKeeper/MOTD.txt
On a side note, I'm quite pleased because there's been an explosion of new users, a 700% increase in the past 2 days!
Cheers,
Shane
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Just pushed a significant update (1.2.0). I added many translations and completely overhauled the new game screen.
Check it out!
EDIT: It's still propagating through the play store
EDIT 2: Is available now.
I want to reset my Note 3 to factory defaults. But I'm worried that my saved scores are gone after this. So my question is where are the scores saved and can I make a backup of it.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
HS1986
@sjb933 do you have an alternative to your app or are you willing to put the app code in open source so it can be continued by others?

for making apps
Hey friends i have a very unique and cool idea for all .It helps you to Promote your Business. Make an app for all android and iphones,,we have very unique and interesting app ideas. This app Fulfill your all needs which you want from any app. you can make your app in just 3 steps.

Good idea.But it is more difficult to do.Fighting
I'd rather you to learn Java languages, it isn't that hard.
hmm
i think you should contact some of andriod game developers, logicaly.
I really doubt anyone will agree to work on your idea, and then pay you.
If the idea is good, then I suggest you learn how to make the app.
well, you'll have to choose if you want to develop at your own, or paying for a third party to do it. Cya!
Hello.
I do'nt know if this is the right forum, if not just move please.
I have the following question: There are apps on the internet, which allow one to crack ingame purchases. One of these
apps is freedom for example. you just have to press a button, and you get ingame purchases in a game of your choice for free.
I want to know, why things like that actually can exist, and how they work. Are they using bugs of the google play store? Or of the apps?
Why so many people can use it, without getting in trouble with the laws?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this topic.
We don't discuss warez on XDA at all. Any app that can bypass paid features of other apps, falls under that category.
So please review the rules here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=256 Especially number 6. :good:
You will not find help with those apps on this site.
Thread closed.
Thanks,

Hey all. I'm new here. I hope to be around a bit more! This MAY be the wrong forum, so I'm sorry if it is. I play a game, Madden NFL Mobile. I have a bot for it, and to explain it in simple terms, it basically refreshes the auction house on a certain filter so if somebody posts a player for very cheap my bot can get it and I can resell it to make coins. Anyway, I've used GameGuardian to speed it up, so that the bot can be faster. EA, the creator, somehow fixed this, so now if you try to use GameGuardian, after a few hours you will get banned. I know there is a way to fix this by editing the APK of the app, as people have done it. If anybody could fix this for me, I will pay you $50. Thanks.
