I'm used to Cyanogenmod where there is no issue running ad blocking apps.
Currently running skyfall and ads aren't blocked an no apps do the trick.
How do I get ads blocked?
I'm s-off, Rooted, etc through firewater

Download the disable ad blocking file from skyfall's rom page (skyfall comes with adblocking)
Google "adaway apk" and install adaway. Works MUCH BETTER!.

I read disable ad blocking to mean turn off ad blocking as if it were enabled by debut in the ROM...
Just looked at hosts in that zip and it's just a one line localhost file...meaning I was right, that's intended to turn off ad blocking. The hosts in the ROM is intended to block ads.
I guess my problem is that ads are not blocked in Chrome browser.

I use adaway.apk for long time. It takes all ads off everything I use. Have you tried that?

Under adons on skyfall's page have you downloaded the disable ad blocking? You need to disable ad blocking first. Then install angry birds or something with a ad. You should see it now that theres no adblocking on the rom.
Then, download adaway run it and restart. see if u still have adds.
Second suggestion for that. If you look at the hosts file in that zip, it's empty. Am I missing something? That is to disable, as in turn off ad blocking, as in enable ads.
Just want ads blocked in Chrome.

I think everyone is missing the point of this thread. The usual apps install a hosts, but the hosts files is not blocking ads on skyfall, and I assume all sense ROMs.
Any idea why?
Use adfree is not an answer.

No problem. When I installed I did do a clean wipe. If that doesn't help, might try asking the Dev of the rom about it.
I like removing ads myself but apps like Weatherbug that show random ads at the bottom of the app screen although the ads don't show the spot is blank and eats up space that could show app stuff. In other words why bother.
But on another note I found adaway works best.

Not all sense Roms cause my host file works great on every Rom I tried/use. No banner ads no ads anywhere ever.

Just trying to get this straight! (Since I am unable to post in the development forum I am doing it here). I am running Bone Stock ROM. He says the ROM has adblocking, which some seem to be blocked. Adaway (which i used on my Gal Nexus CM phone previously) is also installed on the ROM. How come when I use AdAway on the ROM and before i put the ROM on my phone when i got to add/update the host files it always fails? What is happening since everybody seems to be getting adblocking to work?

If you're rooted than install xposed framework and use minmin guard module

lol i meant adaway, was looking at my pc and said the wrong thing.
i never used minmin, but adaway has always blocked everything for me, and gets updated regularly.
exposed isnt as simple to install as it used to be, and personally i wouldnt put it on just to block ads.
Minmin also works very well.... It takes the ads to an extinction on your phone

Install xposed port for touchwiz 5.1, install the module minmin guard... Activate it and reboot
With root and xposed is easy to make Youtube playing on background, but if you don't have root? You dont have xposed? Or simply you are on Nougat and there's no more xposed?
Well there, here's the official app Youtube, last official Build patched
Download link coming soon.
It works on almost every device that support Youtube.
From Android 4.4 to Android 7.0/1/2
Background works like the old one, pushing notification on the statusbar.
The package is update to the lastest version of Youtube.
I'm 'working' to a No-Ads / Background version of youtube, cheers;
I'm working for the first apk, i'll work on the one without ADS with background after that.

My mistake! Find out i've upload the wrong apk, i'll update the link as fast possible.
Anyone know if you're able to login to YouTube? OGYoutube doesn't let me and I'm looking for a replacement. Possibly this one once you add ad blocking.

This is like the same when you are on ROOT and you use the patch from Lucky patcher on a Nougat device, or the same like using XPOSED module. You can login easily but you won't have any real-time update from Google Playstore. I'll try to update the apk as fast possible when i get a new official update.

When i release the first version of the apk, it would be easy to do the no-ads version after that.

Anybody know if this is available yet for our phone. I used to have this and it was great. I especially liked it for allowing YouTube to play in the background.

Yes, as long as you're rooted with Magisk. Download the SDK 26 framework version if you're on Oreo.
If you're only interested in background playing for YouTube, there is a Magisk module for that, too, so you wouldn't need Xposed. I'm only running it for GravityBox so I couid change a few SystemUI components.
Additional info from the screenshots. Check the official Magisk and Xposed XDA threads for any downloads you may need.

Strange... Works fine on my end. You may need to fully uninstall YouTube first, then install the Magisk module and reboot. A reboot after uninstalling YouTube may be helpful, too. Also, when I install an updated LeeDroid ROM, I choose not to install YouTube during the Aroma setup process. Then through Magisk, I install the background YouTube module.
You can use Firefox with this plugin:

Also you can use Firefox in desktop version to let Youtube run in background.
so with lzplay out of the picture, could we just install the microG core apk to get some of the google services like google drive and youtube to work?
thanks!
Hi, as far as I know, MicroG needs Signature spoofing which, in turn, needs root.
there are versions of microG that only installs by apk, such as the one for youtube vanced
would that work? (actually i was researching huawei club forum and saw some chinese users successfully installed it onto their M6, which also didnt have GMS)
Youtube can work.
You need to install VirtualXposed then in it's settings choose Install Google Services.
https://github.com/android-hacker/VirtualXposed/releases
Now you can install MicroG and the non-root version of Youtube Vanced app inside VirtualXposed - Xposed icon - Modules.
https://vanced.app/APKs?type=NONROOT
More info
https://github.com/android-hacker/VirtualXposed/wiki/Google-service-support
You can also install the MicroG apps manually.
It seems the core app here is newer than the one automatically installed by VirtualXposed.
https://microg.org/download.html
Also remember to activate the FakeGapps module inside the Xposed icon.
Google Maps should also work but not login.
Streaming apps should also work that rely on Safetynet.
If a streaming app uses advanced Safetynet checks, you can install the Hijack Suite module in VirtualXposed and it will fake your device's info and Safetynet will pass in some cases.
VirtualXposed doesn't need an unlocked bootloader or a rooted device and can support fake signature permissions which MicroG needs so you can run it.
I think there are some problems with the latest MicroG core app v0.2.8 or VirtualXposed but it should be fixed soon I hope.
You can use UptoDown, Amazon or APKPure app stores.
They work well.
UptoDown is very lean and can also be installed in VirtualXposed.
https://uptodown-android.en.uptodown.com/android
APKPure has all the apps available on Google Play except paid apps.

You can only have one Microg installed.
Try the one from VirtualXposed.
Not sure if Vanced Youtube can work.
For Youtube try Skytube, Newpipe or SmartYoutubeTV instead.

Try this method
Install and Login with vanced as per Video then Install MicroG
Get Notification. apps that use GPS don't work.
With Googlfier you don't get Notification and with this method You get Notification and Not much else.
Looks like there is no 100% solution until one can unlock bootloader.
