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.
Thanks man. I can confirm its working on ken's 2.3.4 beta 4.5 with dolphin mini

No problem at all!
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 can confirm it is working fine for me on 4.5.91!
Tested it using "Spare Parts" and "ESPN Cricinfo" (cricket app)!
I still have a few in some apps but its better than before. Good job!
I would love to see this written into an application. It would make everything a lot easier. I do thank the OP for this quite useful.

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--?

As usual - I assume no responsibility if you mess up your device. Im not liable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252957
The dump is hosted in that thread in OP. Be advised that it is not a complete dump because the device isnt rooted yet (obviously)
All of the .apks I installed worked without signature verification or anything except for the Notes app.
Edit : After testing the apps they were a bit laggy and uninstalled. I would be more interested in getting the launcher to work.

You are kidding right? The OP says 'system dump' not 'apks for download'
Do you have a cap on bandwith in your country? If so then I apologize but maybe you can ask another member for individual apps.
The point of a system dump is to provide the community with fun new stuff that may be usable on our tabs.

Okay, got the calendar-widget to work without any lags. Beautiful widget!
The mail-widget doesn't work correctly. I got new mail, but it says I don't got any. The options say that my account is synchronized though.
The bookmarking-widget also works fine and is a nice addition!
The rest I couldn't get to install (except for the launcher which I didn't try yet).
But I thought Lenovo had customized more than only a few widgets and a launcher? (like for example Lenovo Socialtouch)

You know Vista...Im not sure. It should be a simple push via adb. I tried using root explorer to see if it would be easier for noobs but it would break the system.
I really want to try it because I think that launcher has a built in task killer that allows you to kill apps from the app scroller.

Ok. I was able to get it. Thanks. Two questions:
(1) since this removes the bloat form the stock (odexed) V8 rom, I'm asuming it removes the .apks from system/app and removes the corresponding .odexs from system/framework, yes?
(2) There's a few apps and widgets like the LG Calendar widget I'd like to keep around. Can I simply make a copy of the .apks and .odexs this removes and restore individual ones by simply copying them back into their corresponding folders or is it more complicated?

In previous versions this was the case, I have not tested it on the zv8 version but I am assuming it is still the case because it is the only app that will stream through Bluetooth in my car. Any other app (Pandora, Google music) will only play through an aux cable

Is it possible to run a .bat file that simply makes the ROM deodexed and allows a user to pick and choose what .apks to remove? Is there a master list of the .apks and the purpose/use? I know it would seem self explanatory by file name but it would be useful yo know if a certain .apk controlled a specific feature as well as system critical stuff to leave alone.
I certainly would like my revo to be more responsive and process more tasks at once, but I would also like to use some of the original features and software. I'd also like to learn more about how the process of adding and extracting stuff from ROMs works.

Well, I would probably be surprised if that Kids Mode began to work. Firstly, it's this version of the apk for Kitkat. Second, it needs Touchwiz. Correct me if I'm wrong.

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...

The only way I managed at the time to recover the Kids Mode, was to re-Stock, and to not removing it to begin with.
