For anyone who is an avid user of Handcent, the most recent update introduced ads at the top of the message list, effectively "disguised" as the first message in your inbox.
While Handcent has had ads for quite some time, the placement of this particular ad has caused an uproar in the feedback section of the Play Store, and rightfully so.
As a developer, I understand the need for ads to support development (and as such, do not use ad blockers), but this particular style of ad is a bit distasteful for most, requiring not the purchase of a paid version to remove, but rather, an annual ongoing subscription.
So, I first set out to modify the app directly, to see if I could remove JUST this ad, and once I figured it out, figured it made more sense to create as an Xposed module, so that you can continue to receive app updates should they decide to change things. Again, this leaves any other ads (that were already there) untouched. A general ad blocker may or may not address this, but I am not sure, since, as mentioned, I do not use them.
As with all Xposed modules --> install the linked APK --> make the module active --> reboot --> profit.
Note: This module has no front-end UI, so there is nothing to do but install and make active.
Thanks to Rovo89, et al, for the amazing framework.
