Does anyone use the AdBlock app? I'm a little unsure as what exactly to do with it and the is pretty much no documentation on the app. I did make the change to proxy and port but am unsure as to what needs to be done beyond that.I would definitely welcome some input from anyone else who has used this app.
I don't know anything about that app, i've been using AdFree Android for awhile now though and it works fine for me.

AdFree works flawlessly and is so simple you don't really need any documentation
Anybody use CacheCleaner or anything like it for the Gtab? Wondering if it's necessary and if it's the best of its kind.
I use it, I like it.
I use cachemate.
In doing my taxes, I noticed that the H&R Block app tries to execute su (which I promptly deny) and then nags about my device being compromised (app still works anyways.) It's obviously not, but it got me thinking: Since we're operating in the kernel now, I figure that we should be able to prevent apps from seeing the su binary at all unless we as the device owners explicitly want the app to be able to see it. Maybe even do something like allow creation of an app whitelist and/or blacklist.
If it's tricky to pull off, make it a pro feature (I paid for pro.)
I imagine this would fix Android pay as well (though I don't use it so I don't care) but it might be a motivating reason for others to want such a feature.
Other benefits to this include enhanced security against questionable apps that might, for example, try to take advantage of possible zero day in SuperSU itself.
I could be wrong, but isn't systemless SuperSU installed to ramdisk?
Also since the mount points are still on top of /system (without actually modifying system), doesn't that mean it would be visible anyway?

Not if you only exposed the mount point to specific users, and only set the $PATH variable to specific users (which is another possible way to detect root.)
There are a lot of things that can be done, that can be done in theory, that can be done if somebody puts the work in, etc.
Outside of just a time investment, these things are very complicated to do and have them work on a large number of devices.
That's not even considering the legal repercussions.
There are a lot of apps that check for just the existence of 'su' and then you're done. Or if an installed app has a name like 'supersu'.
One that's been a constant thorn in my side has been 'Good for Enterprise'. Only way I've seen where a rooted phone worked past root detection was when it was a Cyanogenmod type that had a custom root (non supersu) built into the development settings and you installed/ran the app with those root settings off.
So agreed with Chainfire that all apps check for root differently.
Use "rootcloak" or simply disable supersu if you are system-less. The only caveat with using rootcloak is that it requires xposed and it is dreadful at hiding xposed meaning any security app looking for xposed will more than likely find it
I just bought a Pokémon Go Plus accessory to help keep up with Pokémon Go, but after seeing what it can do, I was wondering if anyone has found a way to use it for other purposes. I would love to integrate some Tasker functionality, have it flash colors for certain events, vibrate alongside the phone for calls and notifications, and even control things with the button on the device.
Unfortunately, a few quick searches all pointed to cheating the game to pretend to have a Pokémon Go Plus without actually having one, but nothing about exploring the potential of the device itself.
I wasn't sure if there was a proper forum for a topic like this, so I posted it here. Mods, feel free to move it somewhere else if there's a better place.
On a side note, I'd like to look for options that don't require root, since I am not currently interested in battling Google just to catch Pokémon.
Thinking about the new Smartwatch 3 but I don't want things like Bixby or Newsfeed on there at all.
It looks like you can't remove these features/apps through the interface. Is there some other way like ADB? If not, can I at least disable these things completely?
