Hi guys I just found out that p10 has a built in firewall but I cannot block WiFi for system app. So I can't block internet access for swipe keyboard and Google keyboard.
Is there a way to block them besides install another firewall? Maybe an host block?

Adblocker apps (hosts) not working...
I m on Stock 4.4.4 rooted XT1068..
Tried AdAway , Adblock Plus, Adfree, Manual Hosts... nothing works... where as when trying apps they say Ads are being blocked.. but i can see all ads.. pop ups, splash screens, and browser ads.. all are still there....
Anyway to block all ads on this phone...... without the firewall because i dont want to turn off the connectivity of any particular apps... cause there are many online apps.. i just want to block ads...
Help if possible...
Thanks....
Try adguard, its best. It was on google play but they removed it from play store once they found its blocking all ads. http://adguard.com/en/welcome.html
Ps: If you just want to block browser based ads, use firefox and download ad block addons. It works good, you wont get a single popup.
Xt 1068 stock rooted.
I use AdAway, and it works great. If you try it, don't forget to reboot after download and apply hosts.
Just the nature of mobile devices - and the ever changing and lucrative ad market. Pretty much, best way to reduce ads is be careful what you install, and stick to trusted sites.
Download the hostfile from adaway. Then use a fileexplorer and go to system/etc and look for the hostfile. Change permission to rw-rw-rw. That works, had that problem too [emoji6]
Hi all!
Which software do you use to block ads?
I have found some applications that do not require root, I will be happy to know your opinions.
- personalDNSfilter
- DNS66
- blockthis
- AdGuard
- AdClear
- some other?
Would like to hear this also.

Try netguard, it tunnels all your internet traffic through self VPN (not actual VPN with different servers etc), it has an a hosts file the the VPN knows how to filter all ads coming from all the url's in the hosts file.
That version isn't available on the play store due to the fact Google is not allowing manipulating ads.
I am using AdGuards on multiple devices and I am very satisfied.
For YouTube you have to do some more steps: https://kb.adguard.com/en/android/solving-problems/youtube-ads

I've looked around but I can't seem to find a way to block ads in Pandora. Is there an xposed module that can do this?
On AOSiP 8.1. AT&T MVNO.
And I did search.
Just switched Firewalls from NetGuard to AFWALL+.
I'm questioning which apps need internet access to function or function as I want?
I enabled internet access to everything except the ANY APP setting & simple duh Non-System apps like my PDF reader, ePub reader, VLC, Evie, Ghost Commander & a couple more. The only one so far I'm not 100% on is I disallowed the DRM Service internet access, but I'm pretty sure.
So is there a list of System Apps safe to not allow internet access & will tell me what won't work if I don't allow internet access?
Hello all,
I am trying to use an app (BlockSite) to block me from accessing certain websites. In order for the app to work, I have to give it access through the accessibility settings. However, everytime I restart my phone, the accessibility settings reeset. How can I fix this?
maybe you could try something like Adaway, it works in root and non-root modes. you can add sites to it's blacklist and it won't accept or allow traffic there.
blokada works great. It blocks ads and specific web site.
