Has anyone noticed that adaway is letting a few ads through lately
do you update host files regularly? try updating them, also you could try adding custom hosts available on xda forum of adaway.
I think they're learning to bypass adaway by either proxying ads through non ads servers or tunneling the data to avoid IP blacklists. I've also seen some ads getting through in some specific apps.
Just tried moaab but ads still getting through. Something new will be out soon when it affects more and more
Android weather also
I believe that it's because hosts-net server has been down for the last couple of days, and that is the main server used by AdAway. Try Steven Black's hosts file until the situation gets resolved.
I disabled all three of the native hosts servers in AdAway and added his hosts server link and, so far, no ads.

If that hosts link does not work for you, try entering this mirror link:

This is crazy. Just tried that host. Tried moaab and adaway. Ads still flying through. Weather apps true caller all have apps.

Install adaway before they started forcing https hosts servers. I believe it's 3.1. That fixes the issue.
That gives me a error copying ing host file

Oohh, it does not work, but I will continue testing with other versions of adaway.
Thank you very much for the contribution.
Does it matter if you use supersu or magisk

Now I have installed version 3.1.2 of adaway and it is working perfectly.
If someone else can confirm it
Just played around with my apn. It's different to what Vodafone say it should be.
You can fix this by going into the hosts list(https://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt) and change it to http instead of https.
How come adaway works fine on my OneplusX 6.01 rr and it's not working on my OP3T 7.1.2 rr?
I have problems if I leave the Vodafone proxy in the apn settings even with adaway running. If I take it out everything works a day I get no ads at all. Strange

What is the best method of blocking ads on the RAZR i? I'm running InfiniROM which is based on JB 4.1.2.
Adblockplus was the BEST on my old Android 2.3 phone. On my RAZR i, I'm rooted and everything but it isn't functioning the way it should on my rooted device.
AdAway sort of works. My complaint is that it doesn't block 100% of the ads and when it DOES block them, there is a box saying "cannot display this webpage" in place of where the ad would be.
It this the best it gets until they compile adblockplus to work on x86 android devices or is there something I don't know about?

Try Lucky Patcher

Thanks. I've had Lucky Patcher all this time and I didn't know it could block ads. It replaced AdAway's ~700kb hosts file with a beefy 1.3MB hosts file. It doesn't work as well as adblock but it's the best solution so far.

Are you talking about the one on adblockplus.org? Man, I really wish that would work. It currently doesn't work on x86 androids (the root functions don't work) and it probably never will.
The adblockplus android team is too busy keeping up with the newer JB updates. They're probably not going to bother to fix their app for the couple thousand or less RAZR i users when they've got millions of other users to fix other issues for.
Why not use Adfree? Works like a charm.

In adaway, enable the webserver.
I took all the default hosts files from AdAway, the hosts file that Lucky Patcher provides and another anti ad hosts file that I had and merged them all into one using the Linux terminal. I also deleted the duplicate lines with the terminal. This gave me an ~8.6MB hosts file.
There are sometimes boxes that say "could not display this webpage" just like there is with Adaway and Adfree. It's just that with this hosts file, less of them actually get through. I'm happy with this solution.
If someone wants to test it, use a root file explorer, backup the original hosts file, put this in the original hosts file's place, give this new file the same permissions as the original one and then restart.
This post is almost a year old now, can you maybe merge the updated hosts with the newer MoAB thread file (unless its the same thing?)

Unzip and use the hosts file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916098 . It works great.
Hi there !
I've just a little question I remark that when I install Android Revolution Rom ( Thanks to him) and I launch apps like Speedtest ,... where I know that there is a huge part of the screen with an AD. It's deleted don't shows up.
Instead of other roms like ViperOne that I like where I still have the ad.
Do you know what's it's install to have to fonctionnality on other roms?
Thanks a lot!
You need an app called adaway , but it needs your phone to be rooted .
The app isn't available on play store.
I will post a link

Thanks a lot for your answers but are you sure that's only adaway cause I don't see it installed right now on Android Revolution.

The app keeps the hosts file up to date. You don't need the app unless you want the updates.
The problem is that I don't really see the difference between roms AHRD Works really well

ARHD has the option to install ad blocking host files in Aroma..... if you selected this option then ads will be blocked.
However these host files will not be updated but if you install the AdAway app linked above then host files can be updated daily keeping ad blocking up to date.
Ok many thanks
and Adaway block ad in apps too?

If you have root you can edit the hosts file.
I have the root and I have installed the app adaway but I still have recommendations on YouTube.
Will try, thanks.
Hosts are those from adaway

The Adaway app does not work any YouTube ads. I don't think modifying the host files will help with removing ads at all..
I need help in getting rid of those extremely annoying youtube ads before something plays... My device is rooted so im sure there's an easy way?
Lastly is there any way to enable youtube playback with screen off or in a different window? (there used to be a xposed module for this a long time ago...)
THANKS !!!
Check out the iYTBP thread. Should be in the General Android Apps&Games section.
It's basically YouTube with bg playback and inbuilt adblocking

Ah, you don't necessarily need the Magisk variant. I wouldn't recommend it, just clutters Magisk imho.
Go for the rootless variant, install the iYTBP-Youtube and MicroG-for-iYTBP (both can be found on the MediaFire links or AFH) and just launch&setup with your primary account you use YT usually with.
Don't worry about battery. I'm using that combo on my N8 (rooted w/ Magisk) aswell and it's no drainage.
download tutuapp apk.. then download youtube ++ and iYTBP from tutuapp store:good: It will also work on non rooted phone
I installed iYTBP manually & it works great. Really easy. Uninstall prev YT, create folder, copy iYTBP apk, set permissions & reboot.

Alright, good to hear it works again. Just beware that as soon as Magisk looses root randomly or it crashes accidentally, iYTBP will need a reboot to work whereas the non-root variant will work regardless of Magisk status (which makes it a tad more attractive, don't you think )
Yeah that makes sense, I've been having issues with magisk loosing root to often now... I'll give it a go...
Oh, how about blocking YouTube ads that appear from external pages? For example if i click on a video link from Facebook... It opens a browser version of YouTube and that has ads... Anyway to stop these?
Seems like adaway isnt working for me. Same with Blokada.
I tried adguard and it does work, but it gives me cloudflare issues and i cant login to xda properly.
Annyone having the same issue?

I'm using 10.4.6.0 xiaomi.eu version and AdAway 4.2.8 and have no problems.

Try energized magisk module
Try latest AdAway (5.0.4 - you can download it from their GitHub). It works for root and non-root devices. Works great for me. I added the Energized Blu host list and I can't see a single ad.
If you are rooted and Magisk installed then why not use Magisk?
I use adguard, pretty useful and has a few more option to tweak if you know what you're doing

For Chrome and its derivatives you need additional steps to disable their built-in adblocker and to make them using standard DNS resolving mechanism. Then, AdAway or DNS66 (perhaps Blokada, too) will work for them:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80526823&postcount=2
But adblocking highly depends on the chosen hosts sources files - e.g., Energized Pro Blue (mentioned above) works excellent for me (I use nine additional hosts sources on top of the three as default coming in AdAway)
Btw, if you use hosts source:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/j...ter/Extension/GoodbyeAds-Xiaomi-Extension.txt
then you will need to white-list some Xiaomi URLs to be able to receive OTA updates (first URL below), connect to the public WiFi host spots (second below), or login and use your Mi account (third and fourth URLs below):
update.miui.com
connect.rom.miui.com
api.micloud.shaomi.net
sgpac.account.xiaomi.com
