AutoHosts 1.1
Free Version
Publisher Description
AutoHosts is an hosts file changer. It exploits the hosts file to help you bypass or penetrate the Great Fire Wall (GFW) censorship in mainland China. Please carefully read the NOTE below before using it.
This app is not perfectly polished, if you have any complaints, please directly contact me.
Here I must express my special gratitude to Bert Cotton, who helped me to remove the dependencies of busybox as well as UI tweak and async tasking.
AutoHosts is an OpenSource app on GitHub, you can check its source code at:
https://github.com/ss1271/AutoHosts
Hope one day we can have a accessible Internet in China.
NOTE:
* You may need to REBOOT your phone to apply the changes of hosts file.
* The DNS settings may become invalid after each reboot, if this is the case, please fix DNS settings after every reboot.

Ability to add/edit hosts entries.
