Rooted DX having issues with AdFree and Words With Friends

[crcpeach]

"Uninstalling adfree won't reset your hosts file, which is what is actually doing the ad blocking (or redirecting, more correctly). Reinstall adfree and do a "revert" to clear your hosts file, then reboot to clear your DNS cache, and try WWF again."

Adfree and Words with Friends - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

Found this on another forum. Worked for me.

Anyone else notice a MAJOR battery drain from WWF?? I also deleted until improvments are made.

Wordfeud is back up without issue!

Once I re-enabled ads it worked fine..

How do you re-enable the ads?

I'm using AdFree

FIX

I had the same problem. but I didn't want to get rid of AdFree. I found this post: Words With Friends Free & AdFree Android FIX ? Lambert on Tech . This will still give you Ads on Words With Friends but keep the rest of your apps ad free.

If you are familiar with the Android Terminal Emulator application you can run the following commands:

su root
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
vi /system/etc/hosts
?androidsdk.ads
dd
?mydas.mobi
dd
:wq

Hope this helps. You can find Android Terminal Emulator on the market.
