well, I tried disabling the ad-blocker in the browser settings- no effect. And I have replaced the host-file with MOA-September version, both methods failed, so the redirect-link still doesn't open in the smiui-browser.
as work-around I would like to set opera-browser as standard browser, but I'm kind of lost in the system settings menu. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how-to?
AH! I thought it was my CM browser! So save yourself the trouble. I have frozen the miui browser, and use CM Browser as default.
Same issue.
However I do not why to disable AdBlocker myself as I really like it. (Besides this.)
Especially when I see people complaining about ads, I usually think: what are they talking about it!?
So I copy/paste the rare time it occurs
Now I think off it... maybe I should check my YouTube in my Browser. Doesn't load. Maybe the same issue....

For anyone having problems opening links with the stock browser, install Short URL Resolver from playstore! ;-)
Or other browsers...
Let me give some love to the CM Browser though... I used to be an avid Chrome Browser fan. CM is really light, quick, full screen (love that, some sites almost become cool apps), clean, solid, stable etc. Not sure on Chrome sync / bookmarks / history. Prolly not. (But what I do on my devices, stays on my device, I do not like it connected personally.) My friend ended up switching too. So you guys might want to check it out.
Tested Short URL Resolver... Thanks! First glance:

This is no magic or secret voodoo spell ^^ ..
It´s simply the AdBlocker I am using in sMIUI.
AdBlocking with hosts File works as follows:
- Your device wants to enter a website, webservice or any other IP based service.
- It usually uses DomainNames for that connection
- A Domain Name is set to an IP-Address and has to be resolved because IP Traffic only works with IP Addresses
- The First Point where your Device asks for the IP-Address of the Domain it wants to connect to is the local /etc/hosts File ! (if there is no entry for the specific Domain it would do the next step and ask a Domain Name Server on the internet!)
- AdBlocking here just tells your Device that the Domain Name it is searching for has got the IP Address 127.0.0.1
- That looks like this in hosts File:
127.0.0.1 viglink.com
127.0.0.1 api.viglink.com
127.0.0.1 redirect.viglink.com
127.0.0.1 www.viglink.com
127.0.0.1 cdn.viglink.com
- 127.0.0.1 is a standard and is the IP-Address of "localhost" -> your own Device !!!
- So AdBlocking tells your Device that the Service or Server it is looking for is located on itself..
- Actually there is no service for sure ... and so the Ad, Website, or any other Service which is blocked by hosts would not show up because it cannot find any service on your local device!
Im not the creator and I dont decide which Domain should be blocked or not. Im just adding the latest Version to the ROM.
But you can easily modify it by yourself.
-Just take Apps like root Explorer and edit the hosts File in text mode.
-Remove the lines you dont want to have blocked and save the file!
-Reboot and youre done!
You would have to do it again when you flash new ROM, as your changes will be lost then...
I will add new Feature to disable AdBlocker for specific Domains in next release, so stay tuned

Yeah I know what you mean, hence the "unfortunately" in my comment. I also like adblock

In addition to this Post ..
Here you have a little HowTo for the new sMIUI allow hosts Feature coming with next release 4.12.12 !
Lets take rendolfs problem as an example:
He wants to access http://redirect.viglink.com/?key=af ...
The Domain you want to have allowed by the AdBlocker is redirect.viglink.com
After flashing sMIUI 4.12.12 and following releases you will find a file sMIUI_allow_hosts in your /sdcard/ directory!
Edit this file with a TextEditor App like Root-Explorer.
You can also edit the file on your computer and push it to your phones /sdcard after editing!
Just add the Domain you want to allow to the list, save it and reboot.
You´re done !
The domain will not be blocked anymore, even for future releases of sMIUI or other hosts Files !

I use AdAway, it's better than adblocker
I can add custom whitelist and blacklist
Ps. AdAway stop tapatalk redirect, too, but I add then in whitelist

What do you mean with "adblocker" ..I use AdAway, it's better than adblocker

The adblock feature used in sMIUI is actually the hosts file provided by AdAway...
I just take it and put it into the weekly ROM so other users dont have to download and install AdAway by theirselves.
Sorry for the confusion about the Experimental Release and the 5.x.x Name.
Its right I stopped working on it, since Xiaomi will release an official international build.
Anyway here is experimental Version with all current features, based on official MIUI 4.12.10.
German language included.
sMIUI_v6_5.12.10_aries.zip

Have you flash CameraNext? I have the same problem with CameraNext
You can find changelog in Post #2 . Its the same as for 4.12.12, but experimental version is based on official miui.com version and has german language included.

I have tested both of them. What do you want to know? Speed? Mokee would be slightly faster than sMIUI since the latter is based on MIUI which has many animated moves. Design? sMIUI is great for that. Updates? They both are getting weekly updates.

Ur wrong, the promised official dev version based on JB. Special Version shouldn't be called official. It has some sort of Xiaomi support and has weekly versions, but it's maintained by Ivan.

The MIUI6 special edition for Mi2S is just ported ROM, so it is not official development ROM. Xiaomi has promised official development release for December.
