I know it was removed from the market.. I have the latest adway from F-droid but it doesn't work.. And yes I am rooted.
Is there any Adblockers that are working? Or ways to fix Adaway?

I had this problem so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and now its working great..
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
AdAway works fine. You need to either reboot before installing the APK, or clear out all recent apps before hand.
Yup, works fine for me also
Check your Superuser/SuperSU app to make sure you gave it permission, or;
Uninstall the app, reboot and reinstall, or;
Run fix permissions in CWM/TWRP.
Just to chime in here:
I have noticed that Adaway does fail to apply updated Hosts files. If you just keep telling it to update, it will usually work the second or third time. But it does fail for me the first time almost every time. I'm not sure if it's a r/w issue with Kitkat or just some kind of general compatibility issue.
If by "not working" you mean it fails to apply the host file, just keep trying. It should work eventually.
For the life of me I cannot block ads. I've tried adaway magisk modules and manually editing the hosts file. Only way Ive been able to do it is via VPN but I don't want to go that route.
It did work. Then I reset my phone and it now no longer works.
Any ideas?

Have you tried systemless hosts in Magisk and then AdAway?

I'm using this version with no issues whatsoever. Not sure why it says that it was installed via the Google play Store...lol
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 ?
I upgraded to Android 11 (Oct 2020 stable) a couple of days ago. I have never been more disappointed in an Android release. My phone freezes constantly and the only way out is a hard reboot. Sometimes it takes 5-6 reboots before the phone behaves normally. There are lots of threads on Google forums where people are facing the same issue on different pixel models, so it looks like an issue with the OS and not the phone. I would like to go back to Android 10 and preferably save my data. I have a rooted phone. Can I follow the same steps that I performed to upgrade - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYib1WNr2I8?? Thanks!

No, downgrading requires a wipe (factory image with -w intact).

I am assuming you are rooted? Are you using systemless hosts module and Adaway? That causes what you are describing...there is a bug in one of them.
Uninstall Adaway and the Systemless Hosts module if so.

Yes, I'm using Adaway and Systemless Hosts module. Cool, I'll delete it. Any other way to run adblock currently?
Thanks a ton, btw! This really helps!
Edit: I uninstalled Adaway. But I'm running the canary version of Magisk and when I go to settings, there's no option to delete Systemless Hosts module. There is a button "Systemless Hosts" and when I click on it, it says 'Added systemless module for adblock apps'. How do I delete it?

One way to delete it would be to create a file called remove in the systemless host directory in /data/adb/modules/, and reboot. I don't have that module, so I don't know what the directory name is.
An alternative to AdBlock is Settings, Network & Internet, Private DNS. Set Private DNS provider hostname to dns.adguard.com.
When I first rooted my phone, everything was fine but after a few days some apps started showing up as "This app won't work on your device"
It wouldn't be a problem since I can just download the APK's, but I need to use the Revolut app, it is only available as a mobile app and when you don't install it from the Play store, it just doesn't work.
Can anyone show me a workaround for this?
Maybe a way to trick play store into letting me download all the apps as usual
or a way to trick the app into thinking it's been installed from the play store.
I thought about locking the bootloader again (OEM) but it'll wipe all data, and I don't want that. Because it's been a few months since I rooted my phone and I have a lot of data.
My phone is Samsung Galaxy S10E - SM-G970F if this info means anything.
hmm, try unrooting it, install all apps you need, and then re-root it again.

you must pass safetynet as well as play integrity api in order for the apps to reappear. You can check this status by downloading the application YASNAC for safetynet status and Play Integrity API checker for checking play integrity status.
If your using magisk then you can flash safetynetfix module from here.
Flashing it should make the Basic integrity and cts profile check from False to true in yasnac
It should also turn Basic Integrity and Device Integrity from a Cross to a Tick
Strong integrity will always fail for rooted users. so forget abt that
Then go to apps > find playstore > storage > clear data
Open playstore again and you'll see an outdated UI dont worry it'll restore on the next app opening
in playstore then tap on your profile picture at the top right then go to settings. Scroll down and see if the device is play protect certified.
If it is the apps should reappear.
This is way too overkill tbh. you could just install Aurora store and call it a day since its litt playstore without accounts and stuff.

Yes but if I install it from the Aurora store I won't be able to use Revolut probably.
Also I installed the module, and though the YASNAC check has 2 ticks, the Play Integrity checker says failed on "Device integrity" and "strong integrity." What do i do then?

Downloaded the firmware, and changed it using magisk, flashed it using ODIN.
It's Magisk 25.2
Zygisk: Yes
Ramdisk: No
But I also have the "Hide Magisk" option, and Systemless Hosts module

I also passed the check after the 25th reboot. It took some time to adjust I guess.
But I cannot hide my magisk launcher, it gets detected by Revolut. Welp

Actually there is a way to fix that as well.
First of all go to magisk then press the gear icon on top right then select Hide the Magisk app. Allow it to install unknown apps. Give it a good name Let it do its work. do not go to home or anywhere while it is reinstalling the apk as something else
Second of all download shamiko from here.
First make sure you have enforce denylist disabled in the magisk's settings. Yep disabled. if it is enabled toggle it off
Then flash shamiko and reboot. Now once you boot back into the system. Open magisk again (or the new reinstalled renamed magisk app) and go to settings and then go to configure denylist. Now find your app and press the checkbox
Now see if it bypasses the root detection. if not then clear all your apps in your recents and try again. This trick always helps to get around apps with root checks.

Just noticed since you have magisk hide your either using magisk delta or an older version of magisk. I guess you could just use magisk hide but incase that isnt working the method above is the way to go.

I have 25.2 (25200), Zygisk.
But There's an option in the settings right now it says "Restore the Magisk App" because I've already hidden it.

I don't have "Magisk Hide" I think that is another feature (Superuser -> Hide) which does not exist for me.

Yep everything worked out. I have Revolut now, and it doesn't detect magisk or root.
I still don't have Google Pay, but that's a job for future me.
