Block ads in messenger - Android General

Hey all, figured this out a few days ago and seems to have worked, so figured I'd pass it along. This method eliminates sponsored posts in Facebook Messenger. ONLY WORKS ON ROOTED DEVICES.
1. Open terminal, and get superuser access by typing
su
2. am start -n "com.facebook.orca/com.facebook.messaging.internalprefs.MessengerInternalPreferenceActivity"
3. Scroll down until you see
Gatekeeper Override
4. Search the word
sponsored
5. Find the entry in the search results
Android_messenger_sponsered_msg_report_flow
And tap it to toggle. Force stop messenger or reboot.
You're welcome

Is there easier way than this nightmare of console?
I received such error despite fact that I have the root.

I believe it's because of the directory in which you are executing. Try changing directory to the root directory

I tried using "cd" command but got error that "home not set"?

I've been looking for something like that for weeks. I'm having troubles to follow your instructions. Could you share screenshots for example please?
Clarify from what folder we have to execute these commands?
And also, is it normal there is a space here : ".MessengerInte rnal"
Thank you.

Thanks!
Thank you so much, icedventimocha! Worked a treat. :good:
Btw, as Tomatot- noted, there shouldn't be a space in the middle of the word Internal when starting the activity in step 2.

Command worked when I ran it (without the space), and then after a force close, I still get adverts in messenger.

Alas, it has stopped working. Android_messenger_sponsored_msg_report_flow is still turned off on the above settings page, but ads are back.

Doesn't work anymore just tried it, android_messenger_ad_context_handler found that entry but sadly didnt kill ads even tried clearing cache and data before attempting.

Any Messenger mod for non-rooted device? Fedup with the ads

Why?

Does anyone know the new Gatekeeper(s) related to Messenger ads?
It seems like Facebook changed it.

I am testing right now FB Messenger Black from 4pda forum
too old version not supported anymore :/

Hi guys,
I think I've found a way to remove ads in Messenger. You need root
1) Download and install My Android Tools: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/wangq...my-android-tools-0-11-1-android-apk-download/
2) Open it, click on the left hamburger menu, open "service", go to Messenger and deactivate "AdsMessengerService", "AdsProcessPriorityService".
Let me know if it works for you. I didn't get any ads since then.

Didn't work for me unfortunately. Ads are still there. N910F, X-note Kitkat ROM.

Does't work for me, LG V30
Edit: I have to amend my own review. I had to hide a total of 3 ads at first (perhaps they get cached or something), but since day 2 of disabling these services there were no more ads. Looks promising!

Dont work on my Samsung Galaxy S7

apps missing in market after clean modaco install?

Hi All,
Yesterday i rooted and put modaco 1.1 on my sprint hero. In doing so i felt to start from a clean slate and master reset the whole thing and formatted the SD card (it's not setup for apps2sd, i'm waiting to pick up a class 6 card first). Now i'm trying to redownload all my apps and theres a few that are missing? but then still show up on androlib.com. I tried the androlib QR code, i tried searching in the marketplace, i tried browsing the marketplace and scrolling down for a long time...nothing.
The 2 apps in question at the moment are imeem mobile and wertago. Am i alone on this? sorry for the newbish first post

thats funny maybe your barcode scanner needs an update cause im installing wertogo right now (ive already have imeem) from the codes i posted up
try this for imeem (comp of ajones1989 on sprint forums) http://community.sprint.com/baw/servlet/JiveServlet/download/127065-2622/imeem Mobile 2.1.6.apk
I would assume my barcode scanner is working, it reads the proper url (pname:com.wertago and pname:com.imeem.gynoid), and other applications have scanned and found itself just fine
This is really really weird.
The link seemed to work to manually install it, thanks for the work around, but is it possible this is a bigger issue then these 2 apps?
Yeah, same thing happened to me. The weird thing is that all my apps were there at first when I checked but then I think after a while when it fully sync'd with my phone it deleted all but two of the paid apps. And when I try installing the apps that I backed up, they install fine but don't show up on my downloaded list so i'm assuming i'll never get update notifications when I go to the market since they are not there. I had to search and download every app over again.
They need to add that function into these backup apps to somehow put them back up on the market as being downloaded.

Where do we get an update for the QR code scanner? I'm on modaco's 1.1 and dolphin browser trying to click on a QR code and it's not working. I'm pretty sure this was working before.
When you are searching for these do you see at the top "1 match" but then in the list where it actually should be does it say no matches found? I have had that happen. Either use a task manager to kill the market place and open it again, or just reboot the phone.

[APP] Browser To Phone

Android Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wiirecords.chrometophone
This app is entirely based on Chrome to Phone! It has the same features (and bugs, lol) as the original with some additional cool features! The original app is awesome and it deserves all the credits, this app is only adding more features!
Browser to Phone lets you process incoming links virtually anyway you want it:
* download anything to your phone, instead of just opening the link
* convert file to other formats (i.e. send a bmp link, convert it to jpg and then download it)
* apply wallpapers/ringtones (i.e. send an image link and apply it as wallpaper)
* open specific apps (i.e. send an appbrain link and open android market automatically)
* more and more!
There are plentiful preloaded processes to use. Send suggestions about new processes/commands by e-mail and if feasible, they will be added on the next update!
You may create custom processes for your needs, define when they should run and what they will do. As this is not a simple task, you may search the web for custom processes done by other users and import them.
Download Processes: http://www.thiagorosa.com.br/android/browsertophone/files.php
You need to install a browser Extension on your computer to send links to your phone. Each browser has its own extension and they can be downloaded from:
Google Chrome: http://chrome.google.com/extensions
Mozilla Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxtophone
Opera: https://addons.opera.com/addons/extensions/details/opera-to-phone

How does the REPEAT command work exactly?
I'm trying to create my own process and I need to wait a few seconds between commands, is there a WAIT (or similar) command?
I cannot seem to find the Chrome extension, would you help?
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search?category=ext&q=Browser+to+Phone
rhaige,
REPEAT has three parameters: regex, count, wait
The purpose of this command is to REPEAT the next command until the REGEX is returned. It will repeat COUNT times with a WAIT seconds interval between them.
tampiss,
It is the same extension from chrome to phone: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/oadboiipflhobonjjffjbfekfjcgkhco
Im trying it with the original extension, yet I always get error connection message. Normal Chrome to phone app works. Where can be a problem?
Where do you get this error message?
Is it on the android app? is it while connecting to your account?
or is it on the chrome extension?
thanks!
Yes, Im getting this message on Android app. I have just tried to uninstall Chrome to phone app and nothing changed. Even worse I have installed it back and now I can not connect on the official app too lol.
The same is happening to me now, it is probably an intermittent issue!
tampiss,
I was able to connect today! Please try again!
thanks!

Unfortunatelly not. The official app works again yet yours says the error while connecting. Im running Cognition ROM on Samsung GS2 if it helps.
tampiss,
I just tested again and both apps connect successfully!
There isn't any difference at all between the two apps during the connection. The only difference on Browser To Phone is that it processes links after they are received on the phone, nothing else!

Ive tried disconnecting the official app and then I was successful in connecting yours. Uff. Im gonna test it. Thank you for your help.
Hi. It works great. I can not seem to find the pro version in Android market. How can I purchase it? Thank you.
Never mind. I found out by adding custom profile
Ive purchased it. Thank you.
Cool! Thanks!!! =D
Hi,
- are there anywhere any custom processes findable on the web?
- how could I make simple process to parse clipboards content sent from my web browser?
- where are the files (such jpg, gif etc) downloaded? I can not seem to find them on the phone
- please, how to process the apk download? I have created the process, yet I would like to start the instalation as soon as its downloaded? any hints for the needed intent?
thank you am really enjoying playing with this cool app
1) i didn't find any yet... but you can export yours and let other people use it
2) what would you like to do exactly?
3) they are stored on the sd card, inside the download folder
4) you should use this:
action=android.intent.action.VIEW
type=application/vnd.android.package-archive
data=the apk file (example: file:///mnt/sdcard/download/abcde.apk)
This APK process should be similar to "Image to Wallpaper"!
Ok to the point 4. If i do not know the exact name of downloading apk, what should i use for data in the intent? Any replace or variable trick?
Edit: i got it working yay
The input will always be concatenated on the DATA field. So you probably don't need to do anything!
The input will be the output of the previous command. If the previous command is a HTTP_DOWNLOAD, the output will be where the file was downloaded. After that you should replace /mnt by file:// (check the Image to Wallpaper process)
Did you notice the unit test feature? (menu)
You can easily test without having to actually send the link to the phone. You setup a unit test link (http://www........./yourapp.apk) and you can long press each command to test it!
Yep I have noticed all of that and tested.
I may have another question
When downloading img from Chrome I always get the img downloaded as xxxx.jpg(125x210) which stands for the img size. Well when I look at the Chrome tab I see it in the title. Unfortunatelly it is downloaded and named as above so that to open the downloaded img I have to rename it first.
Any hint for replace or solution would be great.
Thank you.
Edit: I have found a bug. When sending any text it has a wrong encoding. I use special chars such ěřč yet they come to phones clipboard as mess.
About the bug, there is an open issue on chrometophone: http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/issues/detail?id=318
Hummm, about the extension....
I think I will have to update the app to remove the dimensions...
For now you could create a REPLACE, something like this (i didnt test it):
Regex: \.jpg.*
Replacement: .jpg
Anyway, i will fix it on the next version!

[App] Root Call Blocker needs testers

Hello guys, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
The app's home is here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
We have had multiple reports that blocking is not working sometimes on the American sammy phones, so we need some nice people to do some testing.
You can use the Groups function of the Lite version to do the testing - it gives you almost everything youd want from the app anyway.
Please post comments here, but also use the "Write to us" dialog in settings.
This is great, my bug with calls comng through sometimes when call waiting with more than 1 number was fixed in 165! Thanks a lot!
Enjoy... and remember, an update is always just around the corner!
Could you guys please test the following behavior for me:
1. How the app behaves when a blocked number attempts to connect during call waiting
2. How a blocked caller is handled when "Dont answer" is set as the reject method and you are currently on the phone and have not enabled blocked call vibrate notifications within the app itself
Dont forget to send logs with descriptions as well.
Come on people, i really need some feedback on this!
Come on guys - feedback will help me help you!
Awesome, working perfectly here thanks. Dont thing ive ever had issues with this app (maybe once had to do a manual license check)...
Thanks, could you please test the behavior i described above? Its very important!
Guys, an update has been rolled out. It contains an important new workaround thast needs to be tested.
It may help those people who have data issues, especially on LTE enabled phones sometimes.
Please help me test this by installing the app, rebooting and waiting for data to return with the screen on. Please wait 3 minutes at least before sending logs via "Write to developer" in the app.
Dont forget to include a description. Thanks!
Working perfectly for me! Thanks, this is absolutely top class. Ive been using CM as well, great app too.
Enjoy. And dont forget that im always checking these threads, ao comments and suggestions are welcome!
Any issues to report?
Maybe found a bug... just maybe
This actually sort of saved my a$$ so not sure if I should list it as a bug or not LOL anyways I'm using Miui on a HTC Desire Z and I loaded my root blocker pro and added a password and put it in hidden mode. I always back up my blocking settings so I forgot how to load root blocker pro when it's hidden, so I went into the settings into manage applications, then I uninstalled root call blocker and re-installed it and said no to the restore, got into the setting and restored manually. Could be a security flaw, what do you think?
There is no way to prevent this other than taking your sd card out. Its an android flaw.
Yes, its a problem with android itself!
Any issues to report?
Not sure if it the app or not. I have an evo shift. Im using the free version and ever since i installed rcb i lose all service sometimes, data and phone. A reboot fixes it. Like i said i never had this problem before i installed rcb. On a lighter note it works great awesome app! I will be buying when i figure out if it rcb or not
Supremly transmikked! Sense in disguise
RCB will only interfere with data at first run, so it isnt the app. Bad radio, bad signal, pretty much lots of possible reasons...
Ok, i did find that it is blocking all picture mail(mms). Is there a setting to fix it?

In case it wasn't clear: it displays your 5 most recent tasks and you can tap on each to switch back to it. You can exclude unwanted ones. You can customize this bar. No ads. Free. Works on 2.1+
Here's a direct link to the market:

Installed the update. Still not working, only now it is worse than before.
It still wouldn't allow me to switch apps, it still didn't launch on phone boot up, but now the update prevented me from being able to install apps from the Amazon App Store. I'd hit the install button after the app had downloaded, but it wouldn't register the button press. I could hit the cancel button though just fine. Play Market apps installed just fine. As soon as I Force Stop Fast5, I cold install apps from Amazon just fine.
Very weird. It works perfectly on my device (SGS2) and my friends devices and all emulator devices (2.1+) and i do not get other complains... what's going on?
Have you installed custom rom or something? Do you see all 5 icons? After pressing nothing happens? Or an error?
I would understand if you'd get some errors, but if it's not booting with the device? There is no way it won't boot at normal device configuration...
Thank you for you cooperation!
Have a look...:
see it in action
I think it's isolated issue but I'll try to fix it for you if you'd like to use this app . Wain for report (if you sent it)
Works fine for me. Absolutely perfect!
its a simple task switcher. didn't see any task "manager" function in app(where we able to kill tasks). or it will be available in the future updates?

Yep it's a switcher. Will change topic name, sorry. But it works fine for you, right?
It works now on ICS too. There should be a new version active on the market within 1 hour (as always). There was one issue. Fixed.
I will test it. Great job
Edit: "error process buy" say my market
Defy > Defy+
Sorry my bad english
Error process buy? Lol... it's free. Did you try do it from the PC? Market kinda buggy thing. Thanks!
I had no problems with installation nor application so does my friends .
Updated version has been released. Should be working fine for everyone, regardless of Android version (2.1 +).
Try it
the update fixed task-clicking on ICS
- could you please add #111111 as an background color option? that's the color used by android for notification backgrounds
- when opening notification area the icons reorder after like 1-2 seconds. I guess that's because the app isn't running in bg permanently but it's still quite annoying, especially when you're just about to hit one of the icons and then it gets replaced with a adifferent one
- is it possible to have more than 5 apps? (yeah yeah, then the name wouldn't make sense anymore, but...) there's so much whitespace between the icons, it'd well fit 7 of them
Sure. No problem. Download an updated version (should appear on the market within one hour) and tell me if you'd like something more. Everyone else too . I'll see what i can do.
As for 7 icons instead of standard 5 on really large screens: could you please send me an email or post me here if you don't mind everyone looking how do it looks on your screen?
Thanks!
thanks for adding ICS color.
for large screen: just turn your phone 90° to widescreen and you can see it for yourself
any idea about the slow updating?
Check out the newest update (v 1.08). Tick a checkbox in preferences, restart an app and see if that fits your needs . As for more than 5 icons - i'll figure it out if you want to
Cheers!
seems good so far. will report back after some more usetime when it's got a bit more to do than show low-memory-apps what does the checkbox do? start a persistant service?
could you please close the notification bar when selecting an app? always makes me think the click wasn't registered.
No, it just shortens update time . Don't worry if it works right . As for notification: will put an option to do so shortly.
Cheers!
This app blocks the 3rd Party App Install on my device (Motorola Defy). You can still press the cancel button, but the install button has no function.
Tested it on a custom CM7 Version and on a Official CM7 Version(with fullwipe).

Idea for an Applocker (if it doesn't exist yet)

Hi,
I was hunting for an applocker a while ago, and I had some ideas for a couple of features.
1) When accessing the locked app, it should show an error message like "Access Denied : File checksum failed" or something with a lot of error codes to confuse a non-techie person instead of straight up asking for a password. (custom error messages if possible)
2a)Now to unlock that app, you have to go into the dialer and type your chosen unlock code. Use a special symbol to unlock only for 5 minutes, or unlock completely until manual re-locking.
2b) Ability to set a button and screen password combination. Eg/- To unlock gallery, tap the right corner of the screen twice, then press the volume up button 3 times. Something along these lines.
3)Hides itself from the Apps section in Settings, app drawer and recent apps. Only way to uninstall is from the app itself (I think this is a common feature.)
4) Essentially an inconspicuous applocker. - Asks for password but looks like an error message. I think this could be nice and slick..
I'm not knowledgeable enough to build such an app myself....
What do you guys think? If such an app already exists, please link me to it.
Thanks.

Nice thinking.
Though point one has already been implemented by most app locks.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So has been point two.
Point three is common like you said.
And point four is just the error feature which has already been done.
Keep thinking though.
Hi, thanks for your reply!
Glad to see someone has done this!
And -
Could you tell me what app has the error message feature?
Is it the app in the second screenshot?
I want something which not only locks gallery but also SMS and Whatsapp. Can those apps do this?
EDIT: The second screenshot looks like it uses the passcode to open the app locker itself (if I'm not mistaken). I meant unlocking a locked app.
All the features you talked about are scattered. All of them are not present in one app.
But the best lock I would say is Vault.
It has the dialer feature, you can even put a fake vault which is completely empty incase someone forces you to open it. Then it also has a feature which can help u lock conversations both from the messaging service and even Facebook conversations. Hope it helps.
