I want to install adaway(pornaway) app in my oneplus 7 as I want to completely block all porn website in my phone. But by using twrp and magisk installer and than uninstall both of them to unroot my phone is a long procedure. Is there any easier way to do this?
You can purchase AdGuard, no rooting required Been using it for years without the hassle of rooting process.
Blokada is another good alternative to block ads without root, and it's free.

Hi,
What would be the best way to temporarily root? I want to install an adblock hosts file, but then go back to unrooted so I can use banking apps.
Banking apps work fine for me with root. To answer your question, I don't know.

Do you have a custom recovery? If so:
Flash SuperSU
Use your preferred ad blocker to apply host file
Open SuperSU
Go to the far right tab
There should be an option for full unroot
Reboot
Enjoy!
Thanks, I'll try that. My bank has a really well written root detection routine, does supersu leave anything at all behind¿
Hello everyone, I don't want to root my device just yet due to the fact that it's still under warranty... So since I only want to remove ads, can you tell me if there's a way to block ads on an unroot device, like pushing the file on adb shell or something like that ? I don't want to use adblock plus it simply doesn't work.
Thanks in advance !

There are only so many ways to replace a system (hosts in this case) file within Android and almost all of them require rooting the device or tripping Knox with TWRP. You might be able to do it with adb push/pull commands but that is quite an advanced technique. Even then, I've had it request root access in CM to run the adb commands on the system apps. In reality the easy ways to do it requires root and my advice would be to try using the adblock browser or another custom browser that blocks ads until you are ready to root it.

Thanks, that's actually just what I thought. It's weird because you can change the density and the resolution of that tablet with the adb push on the fly without root or knox tripping but I guess the whole file is read only and that's why root is needed (the hosts).
There is a proxy ad blocker on market. Works just fine and does not require root . search market and you find a few.
use hosts without root
I know a simple way to use hosts without root:
enter playstore
search: "virtual hosts"
you will see a green icon of the apk
download it
open it and then you will see a big switch button.
click on it and then choose the host that you want to use
(if you want to make the host to be on startup, just click the plus icon in the corner and then you will see an android icon. just click on it).
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.
Hello,
I first rooted a few months back, on nougat. Installed AdAway and it blocked every ad without trouble. But since I flashed the CRAP build for Oreo, I can't seem to block any ads anymore. I tried both AdAway and Adfree without luck. Both don't block any ads at all.
Could someone help me figure out what it is that im doing wrong?
i had the same problem, i use magisk did you made sure the systemless hosts is turned on in magisk if you use it
Try using tha app Blokada . It works on most ads.
There's no answer to asked questions before, So i might want to start this.
Is there any OLD SCHOOL SuperSU which work as granting Root Access instead of Magisk?
I don't like magisk, too many unused feature. I just want it like the old SuperSU back then, just granting root access and no other thing like magisk does.
Can the dev bring back the simplicity to where it was before?

If you are using an old school OS, then use SuperSU. But if you are using a current OS, especially 9 or 10, then your only option for root is Magisk. The complexity of modem rooting and then accessing many of the features people want from root is what Magisk focuses on.
If you don't care about certified play store, Google pay, bank or other apps that won't work, etc, then just flash Magisk in recovery (if your one of the lucky ones who have a working recovery), install the manager and ignore all of the "features". Unless you inadvertently give access or block access to an app, you may never need to open the manager.
