title: Hosts file in Android Lollipop not being used?
body: <p>I have a suspicion that the hosts file in Android Lollipop is not being used (located at /etc/hosts).  After rooting my Nexus 4, I can modify the hosts file to effectively block ad and malware sites, eg</p>
  
  <pre><code>0.0.0.0 adcomplete.com
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I use this method on every device I own, and it's worked like a charm on all previous version of Android.  </p>
  
  <p>Is it possible that Lollipop no longer uses the hosts file?</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible that I have somehow made an error to the hosts file?  Would there be any logs of incorrectly configured hosts files?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help.</p>
