Remove SO Wifi connection prompt
Quote:
Description: This KUAL addon removes the banner advising "to connect to Wifi to pull down Special Offers "from screen, when no WiFi connection is available. Installation: Extract archive to "Extensions" folder, like all KUAL addons. Note: IT CAN NOT REMOVE SPECIAL OFFERS / "ADVERTS"!!! What it actually does do is make the buttons background "clear"; No wifi alert - button becomes transparent - if you want to remove special offer - call to Amazon`s support or via Amazon`s chat and arrange with Amazon to have them removed legally. This is pursuant with MobileReads Special Offers Policy Last edited by twobob; 05-13-2013 at 06:07 AM. Reason: Absolute clarity as this is a potentially thorny subject, Policy link. |

As Arhim has pointed out this is in line with the MR Special Offers policy
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=200942 This does not help circumvent the delivery of adverts, merely elides the persistent offline reminder. Regards, |

This should not be allowed. If you don't want the banner, pay for the upgrade. Don't hack to remove it.

P.S: If you are a forigner and the ads make no sense to you, contact amazon cs. They are very nice.

Oh wait... I don't have a SO device to hand... You try it. Should be okay I would guess. Note the "Guess" in that statement |
