A perspective from an indie app developer about ad blocking software:

Can I point out that Ad Blocking Apps don't harm Google anywhere near as much as it harms independent developers. And for full disclosure I should tell you that I'm an independent developer. I have made and launched two very successful games, for free. I have over 200,000 installs, and I should be making half-decent revenue from advertising. Unfortunately, because of ad blockers, my revenue is very small. Like, $20 a day.

In short, it's small individuals, or independent games developers, that you hurt by blocking adverts. And what will happen? We will have to charge for everything, and you won't get free games and apps anymore.

Just an indie app developer side of things, in case anyone's remotely interested.

Why u rojak??cant understand clearly..hehe...care to explain more??

Alright. If they can rip you off, and they have, they won't even be bothered to entertain your complaint unless you raise hell in public.

Your exchange posted the other day shows they didn't outright lie to you because you asked the wrong question.

Someone has the intention to cheat or had pulled a fast one over somebody will try to avoid confrontation. You have to play hard ball with them to get your dues.

Haha thank you for the added elaboration.

Personally used ad block before. But after that, removed cos I felt bad for the dev. Well they spend time so let them earn abit ba...

An article on screen replacement. For that fruit phone, but the principles are generally applicable to any phone:

At first I thought, "oh that's really bad" ....then.... since Adblock software only works on rooted devices, this means that, let's say, 75% of those 200k devices are rooted.

This means that his app didn't get out from the techie crowd?

Or, assuming only 25% of those are on rooted and adblocked phones, then ad revenue is THAT bad?

As a blogger running on SEO, perhaps you could shed some light?

About the sonic vibration. Ok it's there even with the thick case. However I never paid any attention to it until you brought it up.

It's not an issue.

Warning: Wechat is being hacked or something. Just don't update your wechat app.

Chinese cyber warriors? Is that amoi you're chatting with some sallow faced dude?

It's been a problematic app from day 1. Thanks for informing. Do you have a source link?

just when running heavy games, normally it wont

Hahhaa. Forced to use that app bro. Family using xD.
No source. It happened like few mins ago.

So what actually happened?

the app changed?
i removed an unseen app, and the cleaner said i have excess file from wechat
the app is like a retro driving game(like those you have in the 90s)

Anyone tried battery king ROM? Look like an awesomely good in battery life.

Just trying Orange Backup again, now version 8.10, really nifty. I'm trying it on my Mediapad because it shuts down if I perform a TWRP backup.

Easy nandroids from within the OS.


Oh, a warning from Carbon/Helium backup:

Note: Some Sony devices have issues with Helium. This includes the Xperia S and Xperia Z. Sony has *disabled* backup on these devices completely.

=============
So for whatever people blame Samsung for, I personally consider them still to be a lot more open than other manufacturers.

7D.
I wonder what is the SOT.
Worth trying.

Just downloaded. Will try after a full backup.

Has anyone tried full wipe with this? All this time, I only use format data in TWRP and lots of data is still on my internal. Not sure if the TWRP's format is sufficient.
