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?

Root Without Unlocking Bootloader

Hello All
How long does it usually take for root Without Unlocking the Bootloader to come out?
This is the only reason I have not purchased this phone yet.
So frustrated there will be no decent normal sized Nexus 6 and the Z3 loses camera features when unlocked ?

No ETA pls
Let's wait

There is no "usual" number. Some phones got root before they were even out officially. Some took a few days. Some took over a month. And some end up retired without a safe root option.
First rule of xda: don't ask for eta

I know that. Just another frustration with android. We need more Nexus phones!

I never thought I could use this phone without root but it turns out I'm wrong. Not really seeing any need for it at the present moment

I like to be about to restore all my data and apps with Titanium Backup. So much easier.

wolf0491 said:
I have nothing but force closes when restoring with titanium unless the ROM is very similar anyway. Like I was using AOSP on my Z before so I just came in fresh. Less issues down the road

I've never had an issue switching ROM's being careful to avoid system apps and only restoring the call logs and SMS database, as well as non-system apps.

Everyone is different ☺ I also do nightly backups and sync with Dropbox.

Never thought of using adblockers like AdAway, preventing a total waste of mobile data for loading unwanted ads which easily consume ten times the data needed ?
Never thought of kicking out bloatware also wasting your ressources ?

Would love to see root but for now I can manage quite fine without it... There is less bloatware then with certain other brands and you can uninstall or disable quite a bit.
The few things I WOULD like:
* Completely remove unused system apps
* Change LCD Density (it's all soooo big now)
* Full SDCard read/write access for all apps. (I love quickpic as a gallery, but because I save my pics/vids to sdcard it can not remove anything now)
* Titanium backup. Have never ever had issues with this (only user apps+data for me most of the time) and that's with switching between different roms, brands, aosp/stock, etc... Never failed me

ABP (please call it "Adblock Plus" so every readers knows what's meant) does not require root, but it's not too capable running under Android. It does a brilliant job with FireFox and Windows, but the Android implementation only captures a fracture of annoying ads. And: No plugin for defining your own black lists under Android.
AdAway additionally removes annoying ads from a wealth of apps. Just doesn't work without root.
Ok, I can hear you: "If everybody uses that means, app developers won't get paid."
Yes, that's correct.
But:
a) If I really like an app, I'll buy it. Example: Poweramp. NO ads, no annoyance. It just stops working after some time. I regard that as ok. I do NOT like apps getting on my nerves all the time.
My formula is simple: Annoying ads = deinstall, no purchase.
b) A majority of free app developers uses that "evil" ads, appearing at places previously occupied by regular buttons - so you tap on them although you just don't want to.
If that bad behavior gets to a stop, I'll think about disabling AdAway again. Fair play - but on BOTH sides.

ad blocking options on Nougat?

Hi
I'm in the midst of rooting etc and am likely to stick with Nougat rather then MM.
Obviously MM has benefits of Xposed - with its various ad blocking modules as well as YouTube ad blocking.
However for those rooted and on Nougat:
1) could you provide your experience with what adblocker is working well for you?
2) is there any way of blocking YouTube ads with Nougat (given we cannot apply the legendary YouTube ad blocker module/Xposed)?
3) unrelated to add blocking. But which root method is preferable or does it really not matter... SuperSU or Magisk?

I can provide some feedback on 3)
No difference in functionality, but if you need to pass safety net - Magisk Root with Magisk Hide is the only way to go

1)
I use Adaway installed via F-Droid. Works for years on several Android devices here. Very few ads get through. Saves a lot of bandwidth.
It rewrites your hosts-file and because of that needs root-rights.
I use this hosts-file on my other computers.
2) I nearly never use YouTube but do not feel bothered. But I do not know if this is due to a hosts-file or my choice of videos.

Simple AdBlocker for Samsung

When you guys get the NA unlocked phones in today, can someone try SABS to see if it works on the S9? My phone doesn't come in until Wednesday, and I won't be able to test myself until I get to work that night. If it does work it'll be great, because I doubt we'll get root any time soon.

works flawless
Hi,
thanks for the Input. I tested it and it runs very well. No ADS etc.
100% working.
Hope i have helped.
Cheers.:good:

Thanks for trying it out. Now I know I'll be able to use it when I finally get my phone. It works great for disabling pesky things like Bixby too.

yep i have tried and it works.

What's the difference between this SABS program and Blokada? Which one do you all recommend?Thanks

Working well on G965F

Blokada works has a vpn it eats battery since is rerouting all the info first to their servers to eliminate ads plus u will see the vpn key icon on ur notification ba all the time which i hate. (If u have use adguard ) is the same.
Sabs works with knox which i much prefer. And no vpn icon. I have tried sabs, adhell but the one i prefer is disconnect pro. U dont have to mess with adb or getting a samsung certificate licenses. It just work, no ads on browser or ads on any apps.
Some people say that adhell, sabs are better than disconnect pro ( also they are free) but i have not notice any difference. DP has blocked all ads that were also blocked with adhell.
Disconnect pro i got it from samsung app, a while ago it was free. Right now is $25 which is hell alot of money. I would not pay that much with othe free option just knowing that at one time it was free. But DP is the only one that i have use without issue of a firmware update not working, or the app been reboke.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I just got the S9+ in today, but my main daily driver is the TM variant Note 8 (rooted), however, being that I use a VPN, the ad blocker apps that uses a VPN like protocol doesn't work as the Android system only allows one VPN connection at a time. Bummer eh...
So I too have been on the search for an ad blocker that actually works for VPN users.
For NON rooted phones NetGuard is pretty neat, but it uses a VPN protocol so no go there...
YouTube Adblocker, Adaway etc...doesn't work either as it needs the xposed framework (which we don't have for the SD variant of the Note 8, only root) ...
block-this, is also another app kind of like adaway, but it too uses a VPN protocol.
OGYouTUbe app recently kicked the bucket as well and now has ads...ie..it's broken so no go there...
Any ideas? :highfive:

Does Disconnect Pro have the system package disabling abilities of SABS? If so it'd be worth checking out, but if not I would stick with SABS, so I can disable things like bixby.

You don't have to buy the apk editor if you have a windows PC. They link to an apk editor in their instructions post. Either way it's worth it to me, knowing these phones will be locked down like fort knox, and most likely wont get a boot unlock, or full root capabilities.

Disconnect pro only remove ads from browser AND apps ( except youtube lol). Theres a disconnect pro plug in for samsung browser, is different from the actual disconnect pro app.
http://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.disconnectandroidfirewal
Disconnect pro does not have a package disabler. But even when i was using adhell which does have a package disabler, i did not use it. Much prefer the BK PD because it actually tells how much ram each apps is using and is more organized. (Is not free though but well worth it)
Ill give u an example. I have the pixel launcher and touchwiz installed. Even when i select the pixel 2 launcher has default , BK package disable says that touchwiz still running in the background eating 147mg ram. I just disable touchwiz launcher and i know that i have the xtra ram for something else.

You sure about that ?
Blokada works as a "virtual" VPN - meaning that all traffic first gets redirected to a local hosts file (hence it also works without root and modification of the hosts file of the Android system itself),
thus there should be NO additional battery consumption from the blocking itself (each attempt to try to reach the IP leads to a 404 or not reacheable)
but there might be some battery consumption from the functionality of the app & VPN itself
Anyone please correct this if I'm wrong

Thanks again for everyone chiming in. I got my S9+ in today, and have SABS up, and working. This app is a sanity saver.

Blockada is the same has blockthis, adguard, netguard,nds666 and other vpn. I actually like blockada the most vause of.the inteeface and is lite in ram. Adguard heat up my phone and eata more battery. Blockada dos eat battery not alot that u will still notice in day to day use.
The advantage of our samsung phone is able to use ad blockers like adhell, disconnet pro etc. This apps will only work on samsung phone cause of knox and i believe they are a better ad blocking solution than vpn ads blocker. You are not really sure if they are collecting all ur info down the line of redirecting.

Adhell lets way too much stuff through.
Blokada is close to AdAway in performance. It kills ads in everything except youtube.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing that, previously I was using a rooted phone with Adaway, now I got my S9+ a week ago and I'm not planning to root it in the near future, I Tried the SABS and its work fine with no ads.
thanks again

Thanks OP, founded this topic today, installed SABS on my Sprint GS9+, its working great.
Long time users, what apps/process are safely to disable from the GS9? I disabled sprint ones, looking to stop all bloatware.

Ad block for YouTube app?

What are you guys using to block ads in the YouTube app? I used to use an xposed module. Not sure if that will still work or if there's another method these days. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Just install the app called YouTube Vanced from their website. It will just skip right over the ads like they're not even there. You'll need to install that plus MicroG in order to be able to login.. IF you use and have Google Chrome browser running you need to force stop it and disable it until you're done signing in otherwise the sign in will just sit there and not work.. You can enable it again after it's installed and you're logged in to.. Choose one of the NON ROOT versions and install both YouTube Vanced and MicroG found here. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/773e97cz2ezx1/AddFree_Youtube_BackgroundPlay_Enabled

They released a manager (check their website) so you can check for updates and install the app and requirements easily.

I'm using 14.99 a month lol

When you use either samsung internet or beta ver., in their bucket under app settings they call ad-ons, there is an ad-block app selection called ad-block for YouTube(you'll see it in the drop-down menu), and that's probably the same one the other gentleman already responded to you with?
It's by-far, the best one I've ever test drove, as I'm not a great fan of those!:laugh:

lol I remember when you tube did not have any adds, then it was short ads every few videos, then it was ads at the beginning and end of video now there are more ads than videos. I would love to strip all the ads out of you tube, but don't want any malware installed on my phone.... lol

My advice would be plain and simple.
Use Samsung Internet Browser.
I know it's not perfect, but for me not bad at all.
I'm sure it's a good alternative.?
I really got so fed up with YouTube ads that i looked for a good straight forward alternative...
(I also did not want to use YouTube Vance etc..)
Saw remarks about Samsung internet browser,
started using it,
Very surprised, it was fast smooth etc.
With Samsung offering , free to install, add ons, to the browser....
AdBlockers and also a free to install, YouTube AdBlocker,
See screenshot.
i must admit i have not seen one advert, when browsing YouTube.
Note
I'm logged into YouTube with my Google account.
So my advice is to use Samsung Internet Browser
to browse YouTube until you get a better option.?
Good luck.

Vanced...since years now..another reason for sticking to android
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This and notifications making me stick with Android ..

Cercube is available on iOS too . IN jb you can install tweak in even latest version of youtube app.

The beauty of vanced if you turn your screen times off
YouTube will continue to play
Perfect for me as I do a lot of driving...
Just tried it with Samsung browser screen times out youtube stops playing
Something for you to maybe think about?

I use YouTube Premium to block all ads while still supporting my favorite creators.

Vote for Vanced. The latest version has an option to remove (+) button even. It allows to hide all these distracting tiles, gifs, stories etc, leaving the pure video clips only.

I'm a long time Adguard user, no adds in apps, browser, nowhere
