Adaway (June) - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Hello,
I'm running the latest June (N build) stock and rooted with EX Kernel, downloaded and installed the latest version of Adaway and then downloaded and applied files for adblocking, then rebooted. However, it doesn't seem to be blocking any ads in Google Chrome. Not sure what the issue is, as it's worked on PureNexus ROM for me before and says it's blocking ads. Anyone else experiencing something similar? I don't have systemless root checked off in settings but that's because I'm using SuperSU and not Magisk.

SuperSU tends to install as systemless and you can check it in the settings. If some of the options are grayed out due to saying something like "Not available in systemless mode" then you are on a systemless root so you will have to enable the Systemless Hosts in AdAway.

It's not the rom, Supersu, or Adaway. The hosts file that is being downloaded by default is offline. If you check the Adaway forum you'll see the fix (basically unchecking the hosts file and adding a new one).

Can XPosed modules be injected when SuperSU is configured as "disabled"?

Hi,
I'm trying to inject an Xposed module in a rooted phone with SuperSu configured as "disabled" .
I could download and install Xposed and the corresponding modules with SuperSu "enabled", but I'm wondering if the Xposed modules will actually work when SuperSu is in "disabled" mode.
Specifically, could I inject an Xposed module in a specific app(I.E. angrybird and such) when SuperSu is disabled?(assuming I already downloaded and installed the Xposed module when SuperSu is enabled)
Also, if it is not possible, is there any alternative I can use to dynamically inject code into a running app?
Thanks!
Anyone?
Edit : Nevermind. I tried it and it works!
So I can load install Xposed modules and have my phone unrooted afterwards.
Thanks!

[List] Apps that break android pay

I have been trying to find a way to keep root and Android pay. Some apps, while they are granted root privileges, break android pay.
I don't have a large list. But as of now, the apps cause my device to fail the SafetyNet check are:
Titanium Backup
Root explorer
Ex kernel manager
It seems that it only breaks pay when these apps are actively using root. "Killing" the apps send to make my device pass the check.
As people comment I'll update the list.
I'm using EX Kernel Manager with systemless root, and Android Pay still works for me.
EXkernel manager doesn't break it.
Greenify definitely breaks it.
adaway breaks it unless you flash the systemless hosts zip file prior to installing/applying it
root features of nova launcher don't break it
wakelock detector does not break it
Using Titanium backup, Root explorer, ex kernel mngr, and adaway 3.01 I think no different install methods, clean install yesterday. First time using systemless root. AP worked today at Walgreen's.

Same.
Apps don't break Android Pay, the method on how you root does.

I'm also using Greenify and Adaway. Neither has broken Android Pay.
I'm using Titanium Backup, EX Kernel Manager, Root Explorer, and AdAway as well. Android Pay works fine.
Successfully using all those apps, including Greenify (missing the xposed module though). Not a problem with AP, have used it about 4 times in the past week.
Quick update to all. I've noticed that when some of my apps are open, they cause the "SafetyNet helper" to fail. That's why I say it "breaks" it.
AP till works for me. But it can be spotty if I just opened a root app
Must be a really long line and you're backing up apps, searching for a file, or changing your color profile while waiting to tap.
Edit: OK I had AP fail last night when I unlocked my phone eBay was opened up. Apparently I just locked my phone. closed out eBay and chrome popped up from my last tab. Got to my home screen and AP was good to go.

Does anyone have Adaway running on Android 10?

Due to mounting issues with the current root solution on Android 10, Adaway doesn't seem to be able to either write to the hosts file or modify it. Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks....

Really? Mine is working exactly as in Pie. I am rooted with magisk 19.3 and have systemless hosts module installed. Adaway has no issue writing to this hosts file.

Thanks! Got it working. There is no module any longer, as it is a setting in the app itself - a setting which you just tap with no dialog, only a "toasted" confirmation.

When I click that checkbox, I got the confirmation on the bottom that says Adaway was granted Superuser rights, but the box doesn't actually check, and nothing changes. Am I missing something stupid?
Go to setting in magisk and enable this module, restart, and then adaway should work.
I've tried that. Got all messages showing up that it's fine. Rebooted and still see ads in certain pages.
Unfortunately best solution thus far is the AdGuard app but that's VPN and draining juice.

Just to make sure; you also checked the systemless mode in AdAway?
(after reboot to enable magisk systemless module)
If it blocks most ads you may want to add another hosts source.

I have the same problem. Pixel 2 XL, Android 10. Magisk works, safetynet works. Adaway doesn't. The systemless hosts module in magisk shows as enabled, the tick box on adaway doesn't work (when I tap it nothing happens). When I select enable adblocking in Adaway it starts building the hosts file and ends with an error message "remount failed. Remounting the partition as read/write failed!".

Are you using the latest AdAway? Maybe you need to update the app itself.
Hmmm can I add other stuff to the hosts file? Sort of like easy lists for different languages like adblocker on chrome for PC? This might do the trick if possible.

Version 4.2.9. F-droid says it's the latest

Yes, checks settings
So most ads get blocked but not all?
adaway forum to get latest version and gossip.
I also had issues getting AdAway running on Android 10, but managed to get it going eventually. I had the same issues as the others: "Enable systemless mode" checkbox was "toasting" but not checking in AdAway, despite tapping the "Systemless hosts" item in Magisk and getting successful-looking toast notifications.
Steps that worked for me:
Take note of any settings you have in AdAway, as they are about to go away
Completely uninstall AdAway. This means Force Stop, Clear Cache, Clear Data, then Uninstall
Reboot
Open Magisk Manager --> Settings --> Tab the "Systemless hosts" item. You should get the toast notification.
Install the latest version of AdAway (v4.2.9 as of now, as others have mentioned)
Open AdAway --> Preferences. With luck, you'll see that Enable systemless mode is checked already (pretty sure mine was). If not...maybe try checking it now.
AdAway should work now. Make sure to poke around and add back any customizations you used to have.
Hope that helps!
I stopped using adaway in favor of DNS66 for about two years now. Might be worth a shot if you're still having issues with Adaway

Yes, in magisk manager, restarted system, then installed adaway, gave permission to storage before first turn on, then checked systemless host setting in Adaway menu, but it was already on, downloaded sources, restarted system and now it supposed to wotk, but it doesn....There was just one reason i've rooted system, and it doesnt work...
Try enabling the hosts before installing adaway. Are you using the fdroid version?

This is how i've done . First enabled in magisk manager, then installed Adaway. I've downloaded direct Adaway apk from frdroid site.

adaway??

Does anyone else have adaway working? I'm on global 10.5.10 and adaway says something about symlink missing and when I try to fix it within adaway, it doesn't work
If you use magisk go to settings and enable systemless hosts
Works on my OnePlus 8. Make sure you enable systemless hosts in magisk like other user said.

This is what happens when I enable adblocking then when i create a symlink it says this and has me reboot but after I reboot it says adblocking isn't enabled again so I keep creating a symlink over and over
I figured it out, I just rebooted and it eventually worked ?

Barclays App Not working anymore

Barclays App used to work just fine until about one week ago, when the latest version has been pushed. And they are now switching to an app-only authentication method (no more SMS, no more PINSentry, and definitely not possible through their website). So, if the app can't be used, I will have to either stop using root (which has been really helpful so far), or find a different bank which has an app that works (I believe it's very unlikely).
The Barclays App Version is: 2.73.2 , released in 16/02/2023
Specs:
OnePlus 7
Android 11 (OOS 11.0.2.1GM57BA)
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP
Rooted with Magisk (25.2):
magisk app hidden
Zygisk enabled
enforce deny list: Enabled (I tried with enabled and disabled)
Deny List:
ALL Google stuff (absolutely anything that had "google" in their name)
Phone (just for safety, I added everything related to phone and dialer)
Barclays App
Magisk Modules:
App Systemizer v17.3.1
Buybox for Android NDK v1.3.4.1
Debloater (Terminal Emulator) v17.3.3
Disable Screenshot Camera Sounds v1.4
Energized Protection v1.3.5
Magisk Hide Props Config v6.12
OnePlus 7 Volume Booster Mod v2
OOS11 Debloater v7
Shamiko v0.6
Systemless Hosts 1.0 (Magisk)
Universal SafetyNet Fix (kdrag0n, modded by Displax) v2.3.1
Play Integrity API Checker:
device integrity: YES
basic integrity: YES
strong integrity: NO
What is happening:
Barclays App is starting
It prompts for registration (asks to set up a PIN)
Throws Error 00006 (which, after some research, seems to be related to Root)
What I did:
Looked for TWRP folder to delete it (I couldn't find it, perhaps I deleted it in the past, however if you can point me to all possible locations where it could be, I'd greatly appreciate it)
Tried both Shamiko and Universal SafetyNet Fix
Deleted storage, cache, from google, barclays, reboot, even uninstalled and reinstalled apps, all the works...
I tried with both Enforce Deny List Enabled and Disabled
​Nothing of the above helped with making Barclays App work. Any Suggestions?​
Best option atm is use the last version of the Barclays app which still worked (2.72.2) and disable auto update.
Any official way to get the 2.27.2 version? Obviously, because is a banking app, I don't trust mirrors and unofficial repos.
Thanks.

That is the one I used. I understand your concerns, I was in the same boat before I downloaded it.. But I really need the app working myself. Worked fine though..
