Recent changes: v1.91: - Removed the Ads and the Permissions needed for them :) As such the app always had Ads, just the previous network didn't work properly to show them.
v1.9: - Using a new Ad Service (Mobclix). - Added an option to disable the check for ICS devices. This allows the app to be used as a System app on rooted devices. - Read Phone State/Identity permission required by Mobclix to access a unique identifier that some ad networks require to track impressions..

Brilliant! Works like a charm. Just followed the instructions. Rooted phone, Android 4.3, convert to system app using Titanium Backup Pro, disable ICS check, and it is perfect. Very helpful to preserve vital APN info when flashing custom ROM.

Still the Best!!! For 4.4.x+ you MUST have root... you need to copy the apk to: "/system/priv-app/" and set the permissions to: "rw-r-r" then disable ICS check in the app. Works perfectly.
