I need help, my adaway won't work. After a reboot I've to activate it again and again. I don't know what I've to do now. Can anybody help me?
Try uninstalling it and reinstall it again but use this link to Adaway since Google removed all ad blockers from the play store
Use it as you wish

I think it does, I can't get it to work either. Keep seeing ads in greader. Anyone had luck getting it to work? It seems to apply alright but won't restart within the app when prompted. Hmm
just like /system is protected and unless you are running a custom kernel, bloatware apps come back after a reboot, the /etc/hosts file that gets modified by adaway or any other ad blocker for that matter gets replaced with the default version.

Well, there is no link-- just create one yourself. The one I'm using is attached. It was created by pasting ad blocking entries from http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/ and http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm into a hosts file and dropping it into a flashable zip. Just need to make sure that you use unix style line wraps (LF only, not CR LF) otherwise the file won't get parsed.

On HTC devices with S-On the /system partition cannot be (re)mounted rw after the kernel has booted. Recovery can write to system, so flash-able zips is the way to modify it.
How about flashing this?

You can also use the symlink method as described in this guide. This way you can continue using AdAway including updates etc. without messing around with kernel extensions.

A lot of users have reported that the AdBlock & AdFree apps are not successfully blocking ads so I decided to post this thread.
This mod should work on all android versions.
You will find a "hosts" file attached to this post that includes a list of known ad-servers to block. To see more on this list visit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509997
HOW TO INSTALL
1) Download the "hosts.zip" file from here: http://db.tt/u2og5TZ and extract the "hosts" file from the .zip file.
2) With Root Explorer or File Expert navigate to /system/etc/
3) Rename the original "hosts" file to "hosts.bak"
4) Drop in the new "hosts" file that was contained in the .zip attached to this post.
5) Set permissions to rw-r--r--
6) Reboot phone and enjoy no ads!
If you find this post useful please feel free to click that little Thanks button at the bottom of this post.
If you ever need to revert just delete the hosts file and rename hosts.bak to hosts again.
REMEMBER: Some ads support the developers who bring us these amazing roms, mods, hacks and tweaks so please be kind and donate to these wonderful devs who keep us busy flashing & customizing our devices. Without them, NONE of this would be possible.
UPDATE: If you happen to notice an ad not being blocked, please post the domain/url in this post to report it and I will continually update the hosts file.

Bump... any devs interested in adding this to their ROMs?
With so many people having challenges with Ad Block I'm surprised that there isn't any more clamour over this. It's one of the first things I do when I flash a new ROM. Much appreciated, man.

Well, there's a lot of devs who probably WONT include this in their ROMs, as some ads support the dev's efforts... and that's COMPLETELY understandable.
The issue was that I could not get AdBlock of AdFree (from the Market) to work for me and I noticed a LOT of other users reporting the same on the Atrix so I pulled this host file off of an old ROM and it worked!!
Still confirmed working on 2.3.4, all versions!
What are some good sites to test with before and after applying the hosts file?
Edit: Also, what does it mean that Ad-Free isn't working? Does it modify the hosts file, but doesn't have a good enough list of sites?

Just open up a few apps that have ads running in them. Then install the hosts file and see if the ads still display in those apps.
I didn't necessarily mean that AdFree isn't working... just that it was unsuccessful in blocking ANY ads on the apps I tested it on.

Thanks! I can confirm that Adfree doesn't block Ads on 2.3.4! Will give this a shot as I believe this is indispensable for me at least!
Would be nice to see someone figure out why it doesn't work on a Bell phone. Tried replacing the hosts file as well as keeping Adfree updated and it still doesn't work.

Disable AdFree, that is what is causing the hosts file not to work for you because AdFree is trying to override it. Uninstall AdFree and then try the hosts file again.

I am not sure this is working for me.
I replaced the hosts file in /system/etc as described and rebooted ... NYTimes app and some other still contained adds.
After that I tried replacing the hosts files (hosts and hosts.deny) in /etc as well with same result.
Still plenty of adds. There might be fewer but it's really hard to tell.
I am running unlocked & rooted ATT 2.3.4 (via the sbf Brandon15811 posted)
Thoughts?
It may not block all ads but if you can find the names of the ad servers from the ads in apps that are still showing ads we could get the host file updated to block them.
Also, did you make sure to rename the old one with the .bak extension AND set the new host file permissions to rw-r--r--?

Good question, I had to use titanium to delete google search, then download the one from the play store (same version number) and then convert it to system app.
That one lg supplied file would not deodex no matter what I tried? the replacement was fine.
i tried to deodex 20q. but i cant deodex nearly 10 apks.
if you did it it is great!
only one apk and repleace from play store doesnt matter. i mean did you used any apk from other versions like 20o 20p etc.
good work man. thanx
what is the difference is latest libaudiopolicy.so?

Maybe you wanna convert all those ROMs into easy to flash .zip files. But a nice thread anyway. UAE version and some other regional ones would be nice. Maybe we should all work together, create all the local ones, post them here and you add them to the thread, so everyone can pick a rooted version, he/she wants to have.
I guess they are rooted or don't delete the root, right? (I don't think a nandroid would remove root, but are they rooted?)

someone will probably have to have it installed then pull app data for libs folder if there are any. then you would need to flash the /data/app/name of apk folder with libs to the correct area and also the main .apk to /system/app
but then again some manufacturer's apps are not compatible with aosp or cm based roms and need porting to work
(if that is what you are running)

Having had a crack at this myself... On my newsed SM-T325 I just got myself. I can only suspect that the clue is in the name seckidsmode... Sec here referring to security al-la knox mode perhaps?! no, not so much as full on knox, as such. But is still tied up somehow in as far as once its gone its gone. At least this is what I found when I tried to reinstall it back onto a rooted, but otherwise stock... And 0x0 valid SM-T325.
You might not care to hear it, but the only way I was able to recover (Twice now, as I write this!), was to re-flash the current BOC1 Firmware on top of everything again. Thankfully this hasn't tripped up my Knox... yet though I need to re-install TowelRoot + SuperSU again, unlike Knox however, you can install, and use this Kids Mode while rooted. But, as to reinstall it again after you've yanked it?
Well lets say that I'm kinda interested to know that One too...

3. Flash the installer in your custom recovery.

Yeah. As stated on the instructions, just leave the apk there because the zip installer will automatically push it into your system app, obviously.

Is this update automatically with the play store or should i remove the market link from titanium app ?
Tried the same as the instructions... It just removed my YouTube app instead... I'm on Experience ROM beta 11 and modified twrp... Anything wrong with my setup?

Try to reboot your device. Did you rename the downloaded apk file?

Do not rename the apk file and make sure that it is in the 'Download' folder of your device.

Sorry... It was in ADM folder.
Just a suggestion, I if you know how to change the Android script from that zip, please change it to the current folder than the absolute path used. Sorry , can you make it?
Seems to be working as intended on RR 5.8.1! Thank you for sharing :laugh:

Did you ask permission for making direct links to @arter97's work? You shouldn't probably do that - not unless you asked for permission. It's polite to point to the thread and not linking directly.

I don't understand the purpose of this thread. It seems to me that this is just a blatant ripoff of someone else's work. Am i missing something here?

Then don't visit this thread. No one force you to do so though. I'm just sharing this one and as you could see on the OP, all the credits are still on @arter97
For me with this version cardboard mod did not work. App crashed.
Everybody, just follow the instructions, it works. @arter97 man you never cease to amaze me, since i9300 days. Thank you.
Ps I was using a certain patching app to run yt in background on nougat. After the installation of your apk, I patched it and voila, now I have yt background playback and yt adblocker xposed functionality.
