[MOD] Ad blocker topic

Hi guys,

I tried to implement good old method to block unwanted ads by adding advertising sites to the HOSTS file, on the Sammy ATIV Odyssey (full FS unlock) and it works perfectly ;) But I'm still unsure ('cause I'm developer and do have some ad-based apps in store) - should I post this info here? BTW, we do have mods, lets give 'em the rights to decide, delete this thread or not...

So, this method is pretty simple (he-he, same as my very-very first WP7 hack):

1) You muist have a interop-unlocked handset with full FS access (or at least \Windows\system32\drivers\etc directory).

1) Download the latest "blocking" hosts file, for example, from here
2) Rename your download from hosts.txt to HOSTS
3) Connect your handset to PC, navigate to \Windows\system32\drivers\etc folder
4) Paste downloaded HOSTS file, choose "replace" in the copiyng dialog.
5) That's all folks! :D

You don't need to reboot (like on Android phone with AdAway app) - now your handset is ads-free...

If you wanna revert back, just delete \Windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS file.
