remove ads in the app?

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.

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?

Also alot of other good suggestions here. Adaway jusy bugs the **** out of my phone though (Desire HD JTime R8).

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

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 :'(

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.

possible to decompile and remove the ads?
can someone try to decompile the app and remove the ads? the ads happen every 2 minutes or so and its way over the top. I tried myself but it just kept force closing when i tried to play a video :crying:

re

dl it, patch it using lucky patcher ! xD
try the ad blocker
if i helped you press THANKS!

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

Best Ad Blocker for Rooted OP6

Hi all!
Could someone give their opinion on what the best ad blocker is? I've been on the NOT so root friendly AT&T Note & S series for so long I forget how awesome it is to have root again.
Any ideas would be so awesome!!!
Thanks in advance and I will remember to hit your thanks button....wouldn't hurt if you could hit my button too lol.

AdAway works well for me, but I haven't tried anything else. You have to download it from f-droid.

AdAway as mentioned above is the best one for me

Has a download link for fdroid on the page. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.adaway/
---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------
Be sure to enable IPv6 in preferences as well.

I also use adaway from fdroid. Its pretty good.

Adaway or Adaway Reborn

I found that adaway reborn with default settings causes some of the apps to crash. Anyone know how to fix it.
Also adaway doesn't work well on in app ads.

I use adaway, fyi if u use venmo ull have to turn adaway off before being able to login if i remember right

AdAway is the best.

did someone mention adaway yet

Blokada is another good one.
DNS666 works but they're more of a battery drain with it.

Definitely AdAway

I can't believe no one has mentioned it yet, but AdAway.

I use Unified Hosts Manager from the official Magisk Repository and have no problems so far.

Me too, I switched to Unified Hosts from AdAway, because it was more comfortable for me. Both work very well. Unified hosts has nice checkboxes to block Fakenews, Gambling, Porn, Social. And also whitelist and blacklist.

I've never used ad blockers on my phones before, just on my browsers. But thanks for asking about it, as now I am using AdAway as most have suggested!
But now I think I might have to try Unified Hosts. Are there any conflicts if you run 2 ad blockers?

Find unified hosts the best with the whitelist so I can still get Google ads when I search for something in Google!
Used to run adaway but it blocked everything

So everyone mentioned AdAway but no one mentioned how it works or how to use most efficiently.
AdAway is a hosts based ad blocker IE it blocks ads by blocking access to the domains which provide ads, and it does this for the entire system.
So you need to have some lists of domains that provide ads to block them. AdAway has some by default, but they aren't very complete. So you should add http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/hosts
to host sources ( I forget what it is exactly called since I haven't rooted my OP6 yet) and I found it blocks most of the ads, though you still have to deal with some. But I used this for more than a year and my experience was great. If anyone has any other suggestions for hosts sources it would be amazing.
Also to block ads in YouTube, you need to install YouTube Vanced from https://vanced.azurewebsites.net/

adguard works great. If you have root, get systemless xposed & use minminguard.

Is there a way to block YouTube ads on chrome? I don't want to use an app for YouTube

Some apps not present in battery optimisation?

As the title suggest, anyone else find that some apps just aren't available within the battery optimisation menu? For example, I have viper4android installed and when attempting to exclude it, it simply isn't listed there. Same with Google calendar too...

System apps don't show up there. You probably have installed viper4android as a system app.
That's OxygenOS standard.

Hmm I do wonder if there's some way around this. I mean for example, the Universal Doze for GMS is a magisk module that allows hibernating a system app. Surely its possible to do the opposite and allow a system app not to be hibernated?
Hopefully some clever dev can work some magic here...

I'm using the one for Gmail I found in the 6t forums and it seem to be working pretty well. I've tested and I get my notification almost instantaneous.

I use bluemail, far superior to Gmail and works with Enterprise and exchange email servers and you have full control of it and you can add Gmail accounts as well. So I just freeze Gmail and never think about it again.

Also, can't you just move the app or if the system dinner and into the regular app folder and change the permissions then just omit from battery optimization? Not sure if Gmail works with those permissions but I'd try that.

This doesn't solve the issue., tried that. Disabling Doze does though :good:
And yes, still amazing low idle drain nonetheless.
