Re: [Announce] 'advoid' a hostfile based ad blocker
 

I haven't done anything with CSS rcull.

I just reflashed yesterday and only have been installing junk back on my tablet.

Everything was fine, but I was at that forum site using Tear Web Browser when I opened Advoid and then obviously I didn something wrong with your app.

I feel like such a pill. :)

post the contents of /etc/hosts

it is the only file that Advoid accesses.

This is all there is. 36 bytes worth of junk in that file.

127.0.0.1 Nokia-N800-43-7 localhost



What filthy piece of turd, have I done now? *lol*

Thank you both for helping me on this. :)

Is there any other file or folder I can share to help figure this out?

Re: [Announce] 'advoid' a hostfile based ad blocker
 

That 36 bytes of junk is fine as it is. There is nothing wrong with your hostfile.

Re: [Announce] 'advoid' a hostfile based ad blocker
 

Okay.

Well, is there some kind of app where I can search through all of my files to find cdnlayer.com inside of them?

Something is blocking all the images from that site.

What did you do to need a reflash in the first place?

Flashing does not overwrite config files in your home folder. Any changes done before a reflash that are saved in local config files may still be in use.

I reflashed because most likely I had installed some broken packages awhile back.

My tablet would completely chunk up, minutes at a time for no apparent reason, to the point where I couldn't play music on it anymore.

I've never had a problem browsing any sites though unless the tablet started getting all chunky on me again.

After the reflash it's back to being wonderful except for this only thing here.

I really love that one forum site, spending about an hour there daily, but the way it is now, it's practically unusable.

I found cdnlayer.com in the file /home/user/.advoid/tmphost and deleted that entry.

It's still not showing any images.

Are you sure there's no other place for me to look rcull?

Thank you. :)

There is nothing in your Advoid setup which will affect your web experience at the moment. The files in /home/user/.advoid are just saved copies of system and update files.
The way advoid works is that it adds unreachable addresses to your hostfile '/etc/hosts', your hostfile is currently the default hostfile (just the one line) so I can categorically state that your problem has absolutely nothing to do with Advoid.
There must be something else wrong with your system, thats why I asked about what was done before youre reflash.

Eep!

It's back to working again. :)

Weird since I didn't do a single thing except for a full reboot.

Maybe I was just low on memory though I have 65 megs still free.

Anyway, thanks for your patience with me Rick. :)
