    What's the best adblocker? I installed mobdro (great streaming app) but the ads for netflix etc. are a pain.

    I use Adfree, but have noticed one of my streaming apps has "unfortunately stopped working" and the only way to get it working again is to revert to host files on Adfree.

    I'm messing about with MinMinGuard on Wanam Xposed, you can block ads on individual apps, but I cant see how to block ads on chrome or any browser, might just not have found it yet.

    Edit: Just had a look at the app you installed for streaming, great app, but can't see it staying on the Play Store for very long, or how Google even allowed it in the first place.

    Adfree for me aswell, dont even see ads on my phone since I put it on a year ago tbh apart from the odd one, only talking to other people do I remember what an annoyance they were.

    I'm having a force close issue with an app that i use to 'show' stuff!
    Would you happen to have a similar app? :pac:

    I'm using AdAway, but it might be the same issue!

    Bit of faff, but cant you just revert to host files on your ad blocker, watch your app, then download latest again, they only take a few seconds. There is another good one, not as user friendly or pretty as what we are discussing but won't mention it here because I did post about it just the other day though in a thread that got locked, and I don't want a ban if I'm not allowed to mention it.

    I updated adfree host's file(on nexus 7) because I started to see ad's in that particular app!
    Now I'm getting forced closures of the app as well.

    Don't have adfree on my phone (not rooted) so will be using that from now on to download stuff.

    Yep, I've tried it there and it worked on the phone.
    Just wasn't aware that ad blockers were the problem, so thanks for that :)

    It worked on my phone as above, but weirdly enough, I have the same force closures on the tablet, but no ad blocker installed! (it is rooted though)

    I turned off ad blocking in my nexus 7 (rooted) and I could use the app again.
    So it's definitely blocking ads that is causing the problem.

    It sure is! Was definitely the case with my N5.
    I think with my N7, I must have altered the hosts.txt file in some way, then removed the ad blocker.

    Damn it to hell anyway, I hate ads :D

Any ideas?

    Fairly sure you can change the text to speech engine to whatever you want. I'm using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivona.tts.voicebeta.eng.gbr.amy I'm using it with tasker to read out my text messages when I've headphones plugged in.
    You can get a Welsh accent too.
    Big download though

    Edit - this should have be a reply to buddy's question

    Film streaming app who's name cannot be spoken is playing up, it's ipad cousin is also having issues. Went completely blank but things slowly returning to how they used to look, but won't play a film. Latest update looked for Gps too, which is new but unrelated I would have thought.

    is it showbox? you can name it

    about a month ago, it would just keep loading if you tried to select an episode of a tv show, some films wouldn't work either

    Anyone know if there's an Android UPnP/DLNA server type app that supports rendering a video stream locally, while sending the audio stream to a separate DLNA client? Would be nice to watch a video on my Android tablet, while having the sound routed to a network enabled stereo (though I'd imagine synching might be a problem).
    Just to answer my own question, the solution was the Audio Cast feature of BubbleUPnP. To set it up:
    • Install BubbleUPnP.
    • If you haven't already, root your device (e.g. Kingo).
    • Install the Exposed framework installer
    • Install the Exposed framework and reboot
    • In the Exposed framework, go to the modules tab, and add BubbleUPnP

    To stream audio to an external UPnP/DLNA device (including the audio stream from a video):
    • Launch your favourite audio/video app (including spotify, etc.)
    • In BubbleUPnP, on the [Devices] tab, under libraries, select [Local Media Server].
    • In BubbleUPnP, on the [Devices] tab, under devices select your preferred renderer (e.g. XBox, PS3, TV, network enabled stereo etc).
    • On the [Library] tab, select the [Audio Cast] folder and select the Audio cast file.
    Sound/audio stream will play on your preferred device. It's very difficult to synch video (on the Android device) and audio (on the streamed-to device), but might be useful for someone, for something like Spotify.

    Numerous threads on the app have been closed and bans threatened, I'd edit if I were you. Just saying! Anyway, it's still not working but looks more promising than an hour ago. Went from completely blank when you clicked on film, to this video not available under every title when you clicked, it now looks like it always did when you click, can select quality of stream, but just stuck loading, never actually loading the film.

    i though you could name it at least, when you're not saying how to use it or that. just like the pirate bay, drink driving, shooting someone, etc.

    just checked it's the same for me now, should work again soon.

    a story here might pass the time for you until it comes back

    You use it as Wi-Fi manager and also as an analyser to see what channels are in use nearby. Setting Wi-Fi to a clean channel is important for best Wi-Fi performance with no interference
