remove ads in the app? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

any ideas of how to remove ads in a app?
eg. Weatherbug. i hate the ads in the button, i thought this should not be too hard.
thanks...

Buy the app!

no, you did not get my point.
the app is free. how can i pay for it?
also there is no ads-free Weatherbug software in the market.

Try the weather channel app instead. I changed because it had lots of features and less ads.

i do not like weather channel personally.
Weatherbug is concise and much easier to read.

Contact the developer and ask him to place a paid app in the marketplace (ad free).

Ads on WP make apps look ugly. I try to avoid ad supported apps. Isn't there a way around this yet?

It's simple! turn your data connection and Wi-Fi off. works for me!

*well, if you want to do that, download the XAP from the Internet using your own computer and edit the whole app. save it, then install it to your phone.

If you're phone is rooted you can try AdFree: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5iaWd0aW5jYW4uYW5kcm9pZC5hZGZyZWUiXQ..
This is by far the most effective adblocking app.
I use AdAway from the Play Store, does the job for me. Any ad blocker will do though, as long as you're rooted.
Also, if the app doesn't require the Internet then you can turn the data connection off when using it. I used to do that with Angry Birds before I rooted my phone.
Press 'Thanks' if I helped!

use adaway.. it's simple and very user friendly.. Ads also annoy me, we share the same prob.. so glad if it could help you out..
Are these apps for free? I want to remove the annoying ads as well.
The ads are there to support developer.
If you really want to remove them, the easiest way is to use your phone offline whenever you are using the add supported app

yes, I know those ads are there to support the developers.
but, if I use my tablet offline, there's not much that I can do with it since a lot of apps require data plan to run
re:
The best ad blocker is ''AD Blocker Trial'' try it all, it's free on play store and doesn't require root acsses, that's simple ya...
Use a firewall (e.g. Droidwall), set filtering to "whitelist" and only allow those applications that really must have internet access. That will not only block ads but also prevent apps from phoning home other sensitive data. Of course, you need a rooted device for this.
Try Adfree friend.. you can download in play store!
i have try it
Some roms have it built in
Find a rom that has ad blocker already in the list of extras.
play store has removed ad removing apps?
Hmm, it looks like the ad removing apps are gone from the play store (which I guess I understand from googles point of view - they probably get a few pennies for these ads also).. Is there another place to get these? Amazon app store has "ad-blocker pro", but the 3 reviews all say it doesn't work..
Is there non-store place for some of these.. We can load a rom yet with ads removed for the LG Motion 4G, but removing the ads would be good enough for me

Ah indeed.. Apparently I'm too much of a newbie to allowed to post links, but google "pcmag" and "ad-block" and I guess you'll see the article.. I do see that the apps are available on f-droid (which is an open source apps store that I can't post a link to either - google is usually your friend here)...

You can try to download and use Lucky Patcher, very usefull app. It can help you.
You can download Adblock plus from their official website because google has pulled these adblocking apps from play store or you can use the lucky patcher if you have a rooted device. Hope it helps!

For AdAway, check F-Droid. AdFree can be found at the Adfree Android Homepage.
As both work using a modified /etc/hosts file, one could also manipulate that manually. But that would be quite a hazzle :silly:
I remember there was one app that worked by disabling the ad modules themselves -- which would be much more interesting to me. I just cannot figure out which app that was. Any hints?

If you just want a file host http://adf*ly/703YZ just copy and save as on notepad with name host. Then copy to your sdcard and copy again to /system/etc

[Q] What is your opinion on using adblockers?

A lot of people use adblocking software, such as adaway, adfree, adblock plus, ect. I myself use adaway on my android. Whats your opinion on the use of adblockers? Is it wrong, should it be up to the user who paid for their phone whether or not they have the right to use them?
Any advertising drives me crazy. Banner ads, pop up ads while playing an android game, those damned play store redirecta for candy crush and mobogenie. I block EVERY ad. I bought MY phone woth MY money, that i earned. Ill do whatever the hell i want with it. Lol.
Most of the FREE Apps owners loss money if we use ad blokers.

Yeah but the apps really annoy me.....
For the concern (about the losing of venue of free apps), you can check the "acceptable adds" option in addblock plus.........

Specially the popups which show the spammy apps like Moboginie etc

There are other ways to get income from apps besides annoying banner or pop up ads. Its just easier to use banner ads. So i could care less, theyre inconvenient to me, just like usong alternatives to banner ads is inconvenient to the devs. I dont do double standards. My phone. My rules.
All advertising advertises advertising.
I can't stand ads
I personally block them @ the router when @home/work and I use an adblock app when I'm on the road.

How to block ads on the crunchy roll app?

i dont think you can, ive installed the app myself and it still wouldnt block ads with adaway. looks like ads come from crunchyrolls server and cant be blocked, best advice i have for you is get a premium account or try a different app

Not all ads are from services like Google. Some are built into the app (for example, between turns or levels or attempts). I don't know how Crunchy Roll works - I looked it up on Play, and it looks like the premium service is the way to get rid of ads. So it's probably something on their (server) end that eliminates ads, rather than a paid version of the same app.

don't forget to press THANKS if i helped
Not sure if this is too late, but when Crunchyroll first released their android app, they made a mistake. The app did not display any ads at all. Even though you should always update your apps, I kept this one out dated solely because it does not show any ads.
If you want the apk, you can find it yourself (It was version 0.7.2 I believe) or you can click on the link below

Ad blocker for Oneplus One?

Hello.
I've got a rooted OnePlus One, and tried flashing this Ad Blocker http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916098
And it removes most ads, but im still getting those annoying youtube ad's, which are the worst for me, cause im watching alot of youtube videos.
So does any of you know a GOOD quality add blocker, which runs quietly in the background?
You can try Adaway, it's the one I use for all ROMs... works really good. Just search for it on the forums.

Agreed. I use adaway as well and no issues. But will say that make sure to whitelist SoundCloud as the newer hosts cause it not play, if you use it.

I've always flashed "Mother of All AD-BLOCKING" after every ROM I've flashed.
Sometimes it works, other times it does not and I see ads inside game apps, etc.
How does it work and when do I see it working?

It simply blocks the ad hosts. You should know its working when you can go to YouTube and chrome sites with no ads. If you see them, you never started the service, or you need to update your hosts within the app and then reboot.

Or apps that has ads within the app. The ad blocker would block the ads in the app.
Adaway is the best solution, if you've got xposed you can also unbeloved hosts along with minminguard.

there's no solution without rooting correct?

How to find protocol of apps? (E.G. play://event-1)

What I'm trying to do is open an app using it's protocol with nfc. An example would be google.
chrome://history for example
But how can I find the protocol url without it being already availible?
I read an article here and this kinda seems like it but looking into many of my applications, non of them have a 'assetlink.json' or 'AndroidManifest.xml' file to tell the app to open the program with a link. Do I have to sniff the protocol links somehow? Any links to tools or posts would be appreciated
Not sure where to put this as 'Networking' didn't seem like the right place...
All Android apps have an AndroidManifest.xml it is in the APK. I could create a scanner that scans all apps for them.
Is there a specific app you are looking at?
I have added deep links to my app (Alliance Shield) if you would like to see what apps have deep links. The update should be hitting the play store next week, if you want the beta version ask and I will post a link
*Free registration required to use the app, also ads in the app, if you send me your username I will turn them off for you.
