What is a good ad blocking app for non rooted device?
Ad block plus, but it will only work while you're on wifi if not rooted.

Adaway is for rooted only. I have no interest in rooting as of right now.

Is there an ad blocker app that works offline?

What do you mean like in apps? Even the ones with root aren't getting the ads that good lately since 4.4.

Yeah, I don't think so my friend.
Ad-blockers work by replacing the host file. This is a system file that is updated through the app. Once the new hosts file (say - an update) is downloaded, it becomes a static file unless updated via the aforementioned method.
Data state would not affect this. Regardless, if you're offline - where would you ever see an ad?

And you need root. No ad block without it...

Ok - so further reading says I'm a bit off and DNS plays a part in updating the file, then redirects it to a fubarred IP. However, DNS wouldn't be a factor if you were "offline" as you have no way to send DNS requests without data or wifi. Can you access the internet? Then you have the ability to have your DNS requests for ads rerouted.
Offline - no.
Nonroot - no.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

In earlier versions of android there was a way to maintain a blacklist of phone numbers to reject. But I can't find this in android 4.4.2. Did they remove it?
No, there's no native feature like that..
However, you can try this out : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrnumber.blocker
Not sure whether it works or not..

Are you on stock or custom rom?
If your on a custom rom then there is a blacklist setting under the phone dialer and under security. You can block calls/texts and unknown numbers. It's a very nice feature

I remember that, it must have been the ASOP dialer because it is not in the new Google Dialer. I ran Carbon on my Nexus 4 and remember that feature so I would say it is a feature of ASOP dialer.
Yes it used to be there and I recall a YouTube that showed how to use it. I'm on stock 4.4.2 and it's no longer there.
I'm afraid all the phone blocking apps probably just steal your contacts......
Too bad.

Not on my Nexus 5, stock rom. Maybe you have a custom rom.
I've used root call blocker from play store. Works great. Free version is a bit limiting tho. But still good. And stable. For me anyway.

OK, then if you're rooted you can use xposed with call blocker, you can find it on xda portal or in xposed download section

I honesltly haven't found any that work as well as having root, but I guess that's the trade-off.

The module Adblocker"pl.cinek.adblocker" which previously added in the xposed repository could not be found now, I wonder why?
And in China, currently most of apps are free so that much more in-app ads show in our phones, it is annoying.
So could someone suggest any effective adblockers to intercept in-app ads and google ads , I will appreciate your kind sincerely

Use Firewall like DroidWall, also AdFree application to write adlist to host file
It's first time that I have a samsung device and on my iPhone and then on my Honor I could chose which application was allowed to use cellular data. Is it possible to do it on samsung? I found nothing to do so in the section "Data Usage" of the settings.
Thank you in advance.
You need to go into the app info (long press) and click mobile data where you'll get the specific app settings

why Netguard does not work? I installed it and it seems working correctly
to install Adhell you have to rebuild the apk of Adhell and you need a samsung licences too, you can install it, find a good tutorial and do it, then it will be very easy to manage internet access

Hey guys ive been searching for a really good app to record the audio of both sides of a conversation without using speaker phone, I need an app with all the bells and whistles also.. Can anyone chime in and provide me with such an android application for my Verizon Pixel 3??
I'm pretty sure there's a magisk module doing that but you have to root your phone.

The module is SKVALEX Call recorder. Works perfectly on root. After some days, you have to pay. But so fine !

It does not need the module for root or anything anymore. You can simply use the app as it has all the module features built in. But the play store version is feature limited in a few features due to Google restrictions. The full app is available on skvalex website.. and IMO... it is well worth it.
