Android Adblock for Android?

Well that's mean of them.

I know right. I would much rather stream from their official site, but it seems my only option now is to pirate.

Also, how do I change the default 4 docked apps? (Phone, Email, Web, Apps)?

Depends on the launcher. In stock Android, I believe you hold the shortcut then drag it to the dock. But I think you have a Samsung phone, and the TouchWiz launcher is installed by default on those. In the TouchWiz launcher, you cannot change the docked apps. The only way to change the apps in the dock would be to install an alternative launcher such as Launcher Pro or GO Launcher or ADW Launcher.

Yes you can.

Open the app drawer, Menu, Edit. You can swap out the icons (with the exception of Apps/Home, obviously) with others in the drawer there.

I guess that's a Sense 2.0 feature, I don't think I could change it on my Fascinate when I had it.

Yeah I have Galaxy S2, I found out how to do it a while ago (but still, it wasn't obvious).

Okay I figured out why Adaway/Adfree are not as good as Adblock for Firefox. The two apps block ads by editing the hosts file, but that only works for specific addresses, compared to ABP, which can block ads based on wildcards (ex: blocking *doubleclick* will block any link that contains the word "doubleclick"). There's absolutely no way that Adfree or Adaway can block 100% of ads, or even close to 90%, since they would have to update constantly and find out every single link to every ad on the internet.
I guess this doesn't matter too much since I can't watch hulu or nbc on my Android anyway, so there's not much to block.

Maybe it is, but I was talking about TouchWiz 4.

Meant TouchWiz

I need to look up the TouchWiz version numbers, they're all wacked up.
