I echo this & i've had unwanted billing by clicking inadvertently clicking on ad's (use perfectapplock & the the time lag in which ad comes up randomly varies in a crafty manner making user click ad by mistake). But tell me does not the ad killer app's what you mention above kill the ad's (in my case I am having issues of ad blocker not working with Rom Toolbox Pro)

This is for license bypass, I am not clear how this apk would resolve issue, thanks for input but would appreciate clarification.

One of the better ad blockers in my opinion, even if it has the ugliest interface. :laugh:

Was just reading thread on Adaway vs Adfree, Yes, I used to use this before I installed ROM Toolbox Pro by JRummy and currently communicating with devlp regarding non functioning of perapp ad blocker within the various apps. He is suggesting using a custom rom to see instead of stock rom. Tried reinstall, changing location of hosts, clear data, nothing worked.
Regarding LP, further to my question above I did read more about it and I rest my question. It goes a step ahead and kills wake locks apparently giving considerable battery boost.

Everybody does not have choice do with third-party aplication cause it will bring new ads to your mobile, there is one good choice if you can change policy security or you can hack your mobile like make ROM or ROTTED your mobile then change system be unread and unwrite or maake yourself firewall to erase all ads output.
I think google give their software without pay cause the ads are pay it with expansive price for development cost.
If i am wrong..... polize me cause i am newbie on android.

adfree/adaway/ad blockers in general are missing from play store

Where the hell is adaway?
Suddenly Google decided adaway was violating section 4.4 of the developer agreement.. Suuuure. I'm sure there wasn't any pressure from the ads being blocked. I'm sure it was a breech of terms.
You can follow this link to get the blocker. (ironically it's at code. Google.com)
http://code.google.com/p/ad-away/

Lil at the strike
But I just re downloaded a free because of flashing a new ROM. Weird. I really like adfree because it works for apps and browsers. For those who want, guess we could upload the apk

Why can't it be both? Google decided they didn't care about that part of their terms until someone complained. The nice thing about Android is you can install apps from places that AREN'T the Play Store, unlike other platforms, so who cares what they do and don't allow in their store?

The dev has moved AdAway to FDroid:

I love the "other platforms" part. But you are right. I can understand from a dev point of view putting out a free app. But get like SSH droid and revert it. I don't mind reverting it because I can always turn it back on. With great power comes more power.

now adaway & adblock plus is scam
Hi just try to search in play store for adaway & adblock plus and install it via play store and looks like scam to me as instead of blocking ads its bombarding ads and forcing user to rate it 5 star then only user can use it at first start. I guess all the app by this devloper doing the same thing. I don't know how this end up in play store but I think you should update this forume as I adaway is doing different & suspicious things.

That app is not from the developer of Adaway, it's a fake app.

still using adaway
agree, adaway and other ad block apps are no longer available on play store, but still you can download them from any sharing site like 4share etc.
i'm using ViperX4.0.2 on my HTC One X and adaway is preinstalled on ROM and doing great job.

Just download from official repository on f-droid, not file sharing sites. AdAway

Adblocker/adaway

Any one know if any of the previous ad blockers will eventually work on 4.4. Just tried the latest version of adaway and I'm receiving an error. Just wondering if these apps will be supported any more. I read somewhere Google was cracking down on adblockers. But God knows I hate seeing ads in apps that don't offer a paid version that's ad free. Thanks.
Don't know if this is supposed to be in Q&A. Thought if there was an apk out there that worked it could be placed here.

i tried adaway and works fine for me... first time got an error while applying hosts file, but I tried it again and it worked.

This one worked just fine for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190753
No errors at all.

Thanks. Seems like I had a bad download. This worked for me too.

Adblock plus. No problem.

Not working here
Adblock also not working on my Nexus 5. So far I've tried adaway and adfree and I can still see ads in chrome. Gained root using cf-auto-root.

Just succeeded in applying the host file.
Have tried before and failed, so I had given up.
But gave it a try more, and now it works.
Here's how you get it working:
1. Start the app and give root access, download and apply hosts file, this will fail.
2. Exit the app, force close it, erase data.
3. Open the app and run it again.
4. Profit.

The thing is that both adfree and adaway manage to update the host file correctly (checked it myself), but I still get ads in chrome even after rebooting and clearing browser cache. Anyone else has this issue?

Can you post a link to a site where you have ads? I'm using Adblock Plus for Android and would like to see if it's working. I'm assuming it is but would like to test to make sure.

I'm seeing ads on this page too so i guess Adblock Plus isn't working either. Perhaps the apps just need updates to work with Kitkat or maybe Google have found a way to stop the blockers from working somehow? I've only tried on Chrome so far as it seems to be the only Browser that's working properly on our phones.

Adaway works for me, sometimes doesn't enable hosts on the first try but just keep trying

You have no busybox installed!!!
those programs may need that to do a proper job

I am using adaway and it seems to be blocking fine. Just tried it on this page and it looks clean.

For anyone seeing ads on Chrome, that's because you are using Google's Data Compression Proxy.
You can disable it by going to "Settings -> Bandwidth management -> Reduce data usage" and turning it off.

How to block ads on the crunchy roll app?

I rooted my phone for the sole purpose of doing this and tried Adaway, Adfree and the ad-blocking tweak found on exposed
someone please tell me how to do it :'(

You can try to block app ads with app called "Lucky Patcher"

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.

or.... download APTOID android market search for the pro version of the app (or any other app), then download it... so simple
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

S7E - possible to remove you tube ads?

Hey guys,

eeks - accidentally posted this before typing (hit enter by accident just before I was about to search). BlarrGh! !!
anyways, wondering if it's possible to remove youtube ads without rooting the s7e. Always rooted my other phones to remove loud volume warning, and youtube ads. I don't believe its possible to remove volume warning without rooting, but what about ads

Nope not possible. You need rood, Xposed framework and youtube adaway.
But it works like a charm

Got mine yesterday. After 30 minutes it was rooted, after a hour it was flashed with a custom rom & kernel. Couldn't stand the bloatware and really needed adaway :silly:
I was an AOSP guy until tw on the s6. Running ports on my note 3. I flashed every device i ever had except my Nvidia Shield TV. That's gonna stay stock

You can block YouTube ads without root. The method that worked for me was to use Adguard and YouTube version 11.13.56.

Thanks man - will check 'er out

Use this YouTube by arter97 if you don't want to install xposed

Otherwise you need to install Xposed and use YouTube AdAway module.
Both needs roots.

Still requires root. What's the point then?

Or... you could just watch the ads seeing this it how the content creators get paid. Blocking ads means YouTubers don't get paid which means no more content will be created by them.

Dumbest thing I've read in a very long time. For a large proportion of YouTubers it is their job. That's like pirating an album then telling the artist to go work in a shop if they want to make a living. Mong.

I refuse to watch ads. However I understand the dilemma of blocking them. If YouTube Red was available in my country, I'd stop using adblockers completely. I hate the concept of advertisement in its current form. If I want something I'm gonna decide to buy it myself. If I need info, I'm gonna use Google to get it. Showing me intrusive ads only makes me hate you and your products altogether.

Doesn't require root .. it requires Unlocked Bootloader ... big difference ... I have Unlocked Bootloader and DM-Verity check removed ... all changes to /system I do using TWRP and system remains fully unrooted ... All root protection apps like Good Work, Banking etc work just fine.
