Oh, it's already worsten! *lol*

Hey dude, I have Extra Dev as a catalog but when I checked for updates Advoid didn't get dinged for having any changes available.

I unistalled Advoid then checked the Application Manager but it's still showing only the old version available.

So what's this auto builder that you're talking about?

Thanks chief!

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

doh: When I recently bought an N810 this was the first program I installed after restoring a "back-up" that I made from my old N800 settings. The ad blocking worked it just looked like this program had a problem with its front end....

Today I looked at the bottom of my UserContent.CSS file and saw that I had added the following at some point with the N800..

Code:

/*

 * This file can be used to apply a style to all web pages you view

 * Rules without !important are overruled by author rules if the

 * author sets any.  Rules with !important overrule author rules.

 */



/* You can find the latest version of this ad blocking css at:

 * http://www.floppymoose.com

 * hides many ads by preventing display of images that are inside

 * links when the link HREF contans certain substrings.

Apparently that^ is why ad blocking worked for me :o

Please disregard my previous post in this thread...

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

Okay, so he uploaded the new, compiled version somewhere and soon the internet will puke out his latest version for us to download?

Can't wait! :)

No idea what you just said their Yodude but then again that happens a lot to me on these forums. :)

So I guess I'm saying either wait patiently for the update to hit the "Extras" repositories (a few days at most I suspect) or search for UserContent.css + Maemo + chrome and perhaps learn how to do it yourself by adding the posted code to your newly created UserContent.css file.

Either way it ain't instant, but then again both methods are free, and community supported. :)

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

I'm more than happy to wait patiently.

Installing most stuff on the Tablet leaves me feeling a tad bit dispeptic afterwards because of the weird difficulty in doing it right. :)

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

Addison

When an application is submitted to Extras-Devel it goes into a queue to be auto-built and then added to the catalogue.

Its there now.

Have you clicked on the 'Check for updates' icon - its two semi-circular arrows at the right hand end of the toolbar in application manager.

YoDude

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

Garbage I tell ya! *lol*

I just checked and it's still showing version 0.8.0-3 from "Extras-Devel".

I don't get it. But hey, let's not talk about my sex life. :)
