[Yes, I am trying to make ABP Android do something it isn't supposed to do. If I break it, I will not come crying for help.]
NOTE: I'm using the latest development version.
I tried editing the preferences XML to forcibly change my subscription to one not listing by the app. After looking like it was being attempted, I was back to EasyList. So, that approach apparently won't work.
My next idea is more involved, so I want know if the attempt is futile before I try it.
My idea/plan is to:
-- Turn off subscription updating.
-- Set up Tasker to download my subscription(s) and overwrite "files/patterns.ini".
QUESTIONS
0. Does ABP have checks in place that will prevent this?
1. Is it possible/unnecessary/futile to remove the subscription preference?
2. Do I need to delete "files/cache.js" before or after "updating"????
3. Is there a difference between the downloaded file(s) and what goes into "files/patterns.ini"?
(Sorry. I have always just used ABP and never tried to understand it.)
4. Can I simply concatenate multiple subscription files?
5. Plan C: Use the "patterns.ini" from my ABP Firefox?
100. If I can get this to "work," may I post my work here for other adventurous souls and evil doers?
