It's called Adfree Android, and it is both in the Market and Appbrain.
This ad brought to you by http://goo.gl/Ymvat
The phone does have to be rooted if that matters to you.

im sorry that i have no info/apps to give... but removing the adds doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of android being open source IE. where should the get money to the continued development of android if we deny them the income the get from those ads? If i wanted an ad free environment i would have bought a windows-phone or an iphone.. the ads symbolizes that we are free..
thats just me 2-cents
-TB-
Adfree works great blocks nearly every ad

good point, fair enough!
However, the freedom can also mean that some guy writes an adblocker! To maintain this freedom, not even those apps can be banned...
EDIT: just noticed, I sound like Larry Flynt
You could just turn flight mode on while playing games also. Not ideal but it works.

Step 1: (if needed) - Root your phone using SuperOneClick (Search the forums for it)
Step 2: Download AdFree from the market. Dev is BigTinCan.com
Enjoy.
Need a file browser like root explorer to gain access to these directories!!

Anyother Bloatware thats removable without messing up the system can be posted here and I will edit this beginning post to include it
oh and if you know what those two are please let me know and I will add it in
You can remove the Cricket apps using Uninstaller for Root.
Mobile Web
MyAccount
MyBackup
Home Screen Tips
Cricket Store
Both demos
ZioTopApps
You can also remove the NuAnce voice control but I recommend backing the bloat on the SD card.

I meant whats the file names for the bloat apps...
I dont like uninstaler for root...way to easy to hose a phone as there's no confirmation... you click something on accident its gone.. which is going to lead to a ton of uninstaler/bricked phone threads
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
If you dont like Uninstaller for Root have fun deleting the bloat with something else. I only recommend it because it is alot easier to find MyBackup than it is to find something like coconut_cricket_prod_a2.0_v1.31_aligned.apk not only that but it lets you backup apks to sd card if you hold the app with a long tap
If you want to be brave you can find the apps in /data/FLEX/app/

It's a matter of preference. Both do the job. One is not better than the other. Anyone using either should know the risks.

Does anyone know if there is a way to fund out which app(s) on your phone might be the cause of push ad notifications or spam, etc? I know its easy if u just installed ONE app and it started right away but what if u installed multiple apps and shortly after you get annoying ads or spam, etc coming up? Settings I could check? App to use? Any ideas? Thanks

Dear friends,
I like android very much after apple's iphone,
I would like to know more about internet firewall,
is it possible or is there any aap, which can show us which app is connecting which site?
If somebody knows, pls let me know.
Thanks in adv.
Frm my experience there is no need of using a antivirus or firewall..i think it may lag..if u wanna remove ads use ad free

Most common apps that connect to the internet are those paid apps to check and verify that the apps is paid and block ads.
That's true bt even than also if we personally wants to verify the app is not spam.

Yes! There are a few.
I use LBE Privacy Guard and DroidWall, both require root though obviously.
LBE can block sms, phone, imei, contact reading as well as internet/wifi access per app and warns you when they try to access them (which you can then permanantly block or allow once etc..)
i keep on getting these types of notifications and im concerned if they may be a virus, although i know viruses on phones are i guess rare compared to computers... anybody else get these? what are they?
Its just an intrusive form of advertisements. Try removing apps you installed when this started.
If you are worried of it being a virus, download an antivirus. I use avast. It is free on the playstore.

i forgot to mention that i installed an ad blocker script using rom toolbox and have downloaded an antivirus and scanned my phone but it said it had no viruses, so it seems odd to me that ive taken these steps and these notifications still go through
Trying using Lookout Ad Network Detector to find the app that's sending these advertisements. I've used this app on my phone and it worked.

After the Lookout app scans your phone, it should tell you which apps on your phone are sending these ads. In order for the ads to stop coming you have to uninstall those apps.
