I'm running evolution X ROM and rooted with adaway installed so all ads in all apps are blocked, but for some reason Facebook still has ads when watching videos? Anyone know a way I can block these too? I've been through the Facebook app ads settings and disabled/removed all permissions too.
I don't think internal facebook video ads are blockable, because it use same/similar IP with FB itself. Unless there's something like Vanced Youtube that blocking the ads on app level, i don't think you can block it
Facebook ads, like most streaming ads, are part of the stream itself. Blocking them blocks the stream in most cases.
You can find "debullshified facebook" app in xda, but it's no longer in development
I thought as much! Thanks for the replies.

I've posted this as a reply in a couple of threads, but I have a feeling its getting buried, so I'm going to post this fix in its own thread.
For those that are getting application force closes in Google Music when trying to stream 3G/4G or in Hulu Plus when trying to stream a video, here is the solution and why it works:
Fix:
Download AdFree Android and select "Revert". This will repair your hosts file to the correct state. Reboot your phone.
Why:
Google Music and Hulu Plus use the same channels that ads use and that are blocked when you change your hosts file - this prevents the applications from successfully streaming the content and thus the application force closes.
I don't know enough about the actual host file modification or generation to make a more complex workaround for this to prevent ads from showing in other applications, but this is the best fix so far for preventing the app force closes.
Perfect! And how #@@#$%$^ annoying...
Hey there, whenever I watch any video on the youtube app, I always see some mod edit ads, at a point of time, I saw so many mod edit ads, and was way too pissed off, so I decided to block them once and for all!
I tried this, and it worked for some time.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-t2547316
Now, as usual, I am using a rooted phone and flashed xposed, installed youtube AdAway, and.....................................
Whenever I play a video on the official YouTube app.............
NOTHING'S mod edit HAPPENING, THOSE IRRELEVANT mod edit ADS PLAY (WHETHER THE VIDEOS ON THE OFFICIAL YOUTUBE APP PLAYS PROPERLY OR NOT) DESPITE THE YOUTUBE ADAWAY APP INSTALLED (WHICH CLAIMS TO BLOCK ADS)
PLEASE HELP.
Thanks
and sorry for the bad language, cos I'm a lot frustrated.
Every time you update the YouTube app ,you also have to reinstall YTadaway.
Actually, I noticed the same thing a few days ago, but I never updated YouTube or changed any of my settings for my rooted device. Not sure why the ads started appearing on their own without any software updates.
Sometimes certain modifications for applications only work for a specific update. Check if you have the same update version that supports Ad away.

I did it, I did as described on how to block YouTube ads, but still those horrible ads creep up, ads play whether the video plays or not.

Nowadays YouTube ads are annoying AF, I don't know why the YouTube Adaway app isn't blocking any ads
Figured this has been discussed many times, but could not find the details?
Was wondering if there was a way to get a youtube app installed on Webos that will play videos without ads? I know it may need to be rooted, so if thats needed thats ok. It seems like there is a way root now with 3.5 or lower.
I know with Android this is easy with or without root. So would like to do the same with LG SmartTV running WebOS.
you can probably add the urls for the ads to the hosts file which should stop them from loading

Can I do that not rooted?
URL blocking hasn't worked for well over a year with YouTube. PiHole and the like are ineffective.
You need a modified app that doesn't play ads, like you get for Android. I don't think one exists for LG WebOS.
Run youtube without ads on LG-TV
Have the Youtube app installed on the LG-TV (Useing this app direcly will always show adds on all youtube videos), if you have an android phone -Then google "YouTube Vanced" -its a modded adfree Android YouTube client, works on none rooted android phones. Run the app on your phone search for the Video then use icon to cast screen to the TV. Youtube app on TV will show the video without ads.
I guess you can do the same if you have iPhone and an youtube adfree app.

any update on this subject? unfortunately casting from Vanced is not a solution anymore, TV keeps showing ads which can be skipped after 5s of viewing. What is interesting - Vanced even displays a notification that TV is going to show the ad in a few secs
I just went to https://rootmy.tv from my LG TV web browser and it installed the homebrew channel, from that I was able to install the adfree youtube mod and disable my TV checking for new updates which might lose my root. It also includes SponsorBlock in the mod so it will skip annoying subscription reminders & in-video promotions.
Can you revert back if needed?
I have a 2019 model

of course, if you just want to watch yt in the background - there are many browsers that allow this, e.g. : Brave web browser for mobiles to surf the internet which can also play YouTube videos in the background when the screen is turned off. Just you need to open browser settings– site settings – media and enable background video playback... but not to download (i think...)
With NewPipe what is the audio bitrate in background playback? Can I limit it to preserve the mobile data?

I have used newpipe for years and I love it, but I have a very strange problem if I use it with Google Maps: the two icons in the notification bar continue to switch position; I have uploaded a small video/gif demonstrating the issue: https://gfycat.com/uglyspiritedichneumonfly
Where's official support for NewPipe?, I assumed it was here but clearly not, I'm having trouble with downloads specifically ones over 1GB failing consistently, if someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it, thanks
When we are playing videos in background in audio only mode the data usage will be saved as video is not playing or newpipe will consume the same amount of data??

Would be interesting to know this, and what is the bitrate...
I thanks the developer of this great application!
Has always worked like a charm but strangely in the last few days It crashes, on the various device where I've installed it (be it android 5.1, 7 or 9), always when I click on a video. The other functionalities seems to work just fine (I.e. The New video of the subscribed channels shows up, the thumbnails work etc)
Is that a issue that I'm just experiencing or it's something that depends on YouTube making some changes?
Thank you for the attention.
Edit: And I have installed the last version available on fdroid

I see, I'm on the last version available via fdroid (18.1) i guess I'll have to wait that the 18.2 is available there.
Thank you anyway for the information!
Thank you for the very useful new feature that you've added in the last version (19).
I was wondering if you could add the possibility to limit the number of feed for certain channel in the news page.
I'm subscribed to few channel that publish several video per day so my feed is completely taken by those.
Is it something possible?
Great app, again thank you!
P.s. I've also noticed that, playing background music, on the lock screen only few times is displayed the thumbnail as a background.
I'm on AICP 14 (android 9)

I already saw a lot of apps modded on xda forums like Twitch and Youtube. But the only Facebook modded apk i found is one from 2017 outdated, can someone explain why there is no a modded version of Facebook yet? Just like Vanced Youtube or something like that, is it hard to mod a Facebook apk and remove ads?

Welcome to XDA,
Maybe because there is no Dev interested on that app...
