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?

root device and install adfree
Two completely different categories I know. But here's my list, if there are good suggestions I'll add them.
Non-Market Apps
Faceniff (Hijack Facebook/Twitter sessions, this has a high douchebag rating. Use it to educate your friends about https setting on social networks)
WifiKill (Does what it sounds like, again very high douchebag rating)
SMSBomber (again, not on the market for a reason)
Root Apps:
SD Maid (cleans stuff)
AdAway (blocks stuff)
Titanium Backup (backs up stuff)
ROM Toolbox (whole bunch of stuff)
ROM Manager (not as much stuff)
Six Axis Controller (hook up a ps3 controller via bluetooth and stuff)
Undelete (undelete stuff)
Root Apps:
Titanium Backup (paid version.....every flash-a-holic like me should pop for the paid version)
ES File Explorer
System Tuner
PC Apps:
adb (necessity for any modder/developer )
APK Tool (also necessity for any modder/developer)
Personally moved away from Root Toolbox for System Tuner and ES File Explorer. I've learned enough now to replicate most you can do in Rom Toolbox, but it was great in the beginning.
Favorite non market app: Network Sniffer. Its hilarious to redirect all website traffic on your network to a single website. Or change all the pictures to troll face. Definitely high on the mischievous list.

So are we still going to be able to receive updates for apps like AdAway? Maybe there should now be a dedicated subforum.

I pulled the APK from my phone so hopefully I can install it off of that in the future. Adaway blocks via HOSTS file, so you can edit that manually (download and merge ad server lists into a text file, push to your android device)

I think the difference is that DroidWall acts like a firewall (respectively is a firewall) blocking the whole traffic of an app and not only blocking access to ad-servers

Seems like it's "interfering" with an app in the same way as ad blockers, according to Google's own language.

That's the difference. It does not interfere with an app. It's blocking the network connection like when you disable it yourself.
Btw when Google would be really strict with interpreting their "laws" they have to block all privacy protecting apps (like lbe) and also nearly every root app and then they will get a problem with users and several privacy organizations and governmental institutions. :cyclops:
So stay and lets see what the future brings...
I wish they Google makes them come back !
Avast conjures up images of bloatware and sluggishness.
But it is a surprisingly good replacement.
Shameless plug but I think it would come in handy for quite a few people.

I can see how it can come across as spam as I have 0 post history but it isn't - it actually works. Give it ago, nothing to lose.
This is the best tool of its kind and it really works. Thanks OP for this wonderful thing. Even there is a binary for windows on the website.
This looks rather interesting.
However, as you point out in your own website "you shouldn’t trust random binaries on the Internet and thus the C# source code is available if you wish to build it your self", it would be great to know how this works.
The C# app is just a wrapper for your web app. It doesn't show how it's done, so it doesn't allay any fears other than running the windows app. You still don't know anything about the apk that's downloaded.
Great idea though.
Exactly.
However I've downloaded a few small files and they match with the ones I already had.
I won't share how it's done but the APK is directly downloaded from the Play Store as if you were browsing it your self. Feel free to do MD5/SHA1 checksum comparisons of the apk from the play store and of the apk downloaded via this tool.

If it could then the thread would have been deleted and the OP would be receiving a stern message about distributing warez on a developers' forum. So, no - it doesn't download paid apps for free, as it says in the 1st post.

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.

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
