Hi,
here's an app which does a simple job: Automatically click on the "Skip ad" button in the YouTube™ app when it appears. No root required, no proxy or VPN needs to be setup. You just need to enable an accessibility service which is required to detect the ads and click on the "Skip ad" button.
This is an xda-exclusive free version!
Please note: Redistribution of this app is not allowed!
New: Now available via XDA Labs: https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.cygery.adskip.xda!
New: Video by @geetmadan1991 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nXgNCD3BO8 Thanks a lot!
Features:
Option to mute audio while ad is shown
Supported devices:
Tested on Nexus 7 and Nexus 5. The app should work on most if not all (typical) Android™ devices. I don't know about Android TVs, PCs, etc. Please post if you encounter any issues using this app.
Cheers,
cygery

Anyone tested this to see if it works?
Sent from my bullhead using XDA Labs
Yes it works. But for it to work the "S kip Ad" button that appears on the video must be visible. That has two problems :
1) If the video is minimized (i.e. Running in small window at the bottom), skip ad button does not appear and hence this app does not work
2) If you are watching video on chromecast, and your mobile's screen is off, skip ad button does not appear and thus this app does not work..
I needed an app that could skip ad when watching video on Chromecast as it is very frustrating to pick your mobile everytime to skip ad.

If you are running xposed there is a module for that.

Actually when using youtube on chromecast, ads are served from server side directly to the chromecast and not to the YouTube app. That's why that module won't work. That module disable ads on YouTube app only. It can't stop ads sent to chromecast device directly from google server.

This is correct, I've been waiting for some way to do it on the phone but I don't think that's possible. You have to block ads at the router in order to get an ad-free Chromecast.

Hello everyone,
I'm a Google fan and i love to use every Google services, but i'm French, and in France they they take a while to come.
I found a tip and i want to share it with you, it's a way to allow the entire Play Store services on your device.
For this you will need 3 things :
- Be ROOT
- Droid VPN : you can find it on the Play strore or https://www.box.com/s/d5c013a16bc5e1940213
- Market Enabler : https://www.box.com/s/e1cf29986ce037f77d4e
Now Create a Droid VPN account (free) and login (If it does not go into the settings and choose "TCP" as the protocol)
Start Market Enabler then go to "Setting List" and choose an operator like T-MOBILE U.S.
Check the Google Play Store is not already open, and open it!
Once opened you should see the Play Store U.S. and as soon as it is launched you can cut Droid VPN clicking "disconnect" and enjoy the Play Store U.S.!
Warning: You must repeat steps 4 installation whenever you want to use the Play Store U.S. (once used its going very fast).
Edit : - Links for direct downloads of .apk from my Box account added tell me if its works please.
- For Google Play Music PC activation take a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30733273#post30733273
Use thank's button if u like this
Cool.
This should be handy if there's a US-exclusive App that I'd like to buy/download.
Wish we didn't have to do these things and it was as polished as Apple's iTunes AppStore.

u can use market enable alone but it will just give u the apps of US it will not unlock the services that are not available in your country.
Like you can see in the screenshots in uploaded in France the Music, Magazines and soap services are not available so in I use market enabler alone I can't acces theses services.
Your IP adress (changed by VPN) at the start of Play store says the services you can use then it check your brand (changed by market enabler) to know what content to display.
Hope I help you
I am using market enabler only with no root and it is working find
While I was on gingerbread I had to use vpn connection but after upgrading to ICS and using NoteCore kernel I don't need vpn anymore and just market enabler works perfectly, I can buy applications and so on
Edit: I didn't read the last post before writing my reply, I don't use the services at all that is why I didn't know about the need for vpn

This may sound dumb but with this market ennabler; will it only get the phone recognized as say U.S. by the store,or could you end up with roaming charges if the network sees it as a USA handset? Dumb????
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
No, you should not use roaming because you use your network to use the VPN. Does anyone have sympathy tell me how to embed images directly to the tutorial, not attachments?

I tried many things, I force stopped market at one time. I am using wifi which is on a US DNS if that could be a reason. I have tried another tip which was to turn off sync and also to turn off all location settings. Nothing has worked. I have given it up as a lost cause.

In Italy is the same, no goggle music for us... Unless you don't use a workaround like the one described in the op (I registered using Tor, but it's much the same).
Once you open the music account you can access it also from you pc or phone without using the vpn every time.

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.
Developed by Samsung and distributed free of charge through Google Play, Eyes On The Road is an application that has as its main aim is to prevent many accidents arising from the use of a phone while driving.
Once installed the app will take care to reduce distractions from your smartphone silencing all notifications (SMS, calls and third-party app) if the detected speed exceeds 20 km per hour.
Eyes on the Road is also able to activate the auto answer feature to report to anyone looking to get in contact with us that we are in the car.

something I think you all will like. The app allows for users to browse Popcorn Time movies, watch them on device, and cast them to Chromecast.
How does it work:
The movies are not actually downloaded on phone, you must have my modified Popcorn Time PC client running.
Popcorn Time hosts a remote ui, and in turn the video file which is then played back on phone, tablet, or chromecast.
How to setup
Launch Popcorn Time PC client from mega link below
Open PopcornCompanion app
Click 3 dot menu in top right
Click settings
Enter the local IP of your PC running popcorn time (or regular IP if you port forward) How to find local IP
Download:
PC Client (Windows only atm)

Yes, to actually use the PopcornCompanion app, you need to have the popcorn time app running on Windows... For me, I prefer Show Box since you don't need to have anything else and you can watch not only movies must TV show that are updated daily.
I adore the ShowBox app ! It's the best one ! Still there is only one little stuff missing, the immersive mode ( to get rid of the notification bar ) except that, the app is just excellent !
Keep it up !

Ok the new MS word, PowerPoint, and Excel are only for beta testers using a tablet. I'm going to show you how to run in on phones as well.
1. Sign up to be a beta tester here http://www.instant.ly/s/w7taW/nav?sessionId=Qyqg66BR53BOHZ7oL8Dn0wwd#p/186a0 Edit MS removed beta tester site don't know why but here is a new link to get office by Google plus
http://blogs.office.com/2014/11/26/get-office-android-preview-apps/
2. Wait for MS to send you an email to beta test.
3. Download market helper. Google the apk. This allows you to change your device so the play store will think your phone is let's say a tablet.
4. Try to download the office apps via the email MS sent you. It should work BUT....
5. When you open let's say Word or any of them it will be huge and won't fit your resolution not sure about quad hd but 1080p is to small. So download app settings from xposed. This allows you to change the dpi of any app you have on your phone. Change all the MS apps to your desired dpi. My opinion for 1080p is change it to 380 dpi.
And that is it. ENJOY!!
ALSO MS SAYS YOU CAN'T RUN IT WITH lollipop but I never tested so just fyi.
