chrome lag using latest version
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sonwon:
That raises a question, has any testing been done to see if one browser outperforms the others when using MoaAB?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skripka:
Since it depends on DNS routing and hosts calling and lookup I'd guess browser choice is irrelevant compared to the hardware of the device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sonwon:
I suspect the same however it may make an interesting test.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ejvyas:
How can I stick to old smaller file in adaway ? New larger file downloaded and slowed down my whole device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cromatn5:
No, i have no lag. It's the lastest version, 34 MB hosts file.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rp201:
Sending a group mms text message with Google hangouts would fail with Moaab enabled. A single sms would work fine. Setting other default mail clients worked fine. Makes me think my outbound group texts go through adware Using hangouts. Bad Google or does moaab have a wrong link?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Magoggles:
The latest MoaAB is causing Google search to return to the launcher after a few moments on my Nexus 6. Also causing Inbox to close on me. Took me a while to remember I updated a couple of days ago, tried wiping Google search data, flashing gapps, etc. I guess a new Google ad services or analytics link has been added and the apps don't like being unable to connect?

Hey guys, Noob here.

I've been using this without disabling the proxy and it worked. I also don't know where I can disable proxy, maybe I don't even have it turned on, can you tell me where I can check it, just for verification?

Another thing... When I use Medscape app, it's the only one that doesn't work and it says that an ad blocking app needs to white list it. How can I do it?

Thanks in advance!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ΦDroid:
I assume you are flashing the zip, not using Adaway. In that case, open the zip with 7zip and navigate to system/etc and drag the hosts file onto your desktop. Open this file with Notepad++ and remove the good hosts using the search function. Save the file and drag it back into the 7zip window to overwrite the original hosts file.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48524249

This might help with hulu
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hgneto:
Do you know, how can I find the hosts that are blocking MedScape?

Thanks! :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ΦDroid:
I would just follow the same procedure I shared but search for "medscape" and remove any related lines.

Edit: This could potentially allow a small number of ads, so you might want to try commenting out individual lines one by one then testing each removal to find the exact line to remove.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gho5t82:

Major lag with newest release.... :(

- ATT Note2

- LiquidSmooth_3.2

- Agni Kernel 4.4.4
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Please read post no 1. This release is only meant for Performance devices. You need atleast 2 GB RAM and more than 1.6GHz CPU to get the most, although MoaAB will consume only 34-38MB at most in ideal conditions. I cannot test it with All Apps or Games. Any other MOD will also interfere.

Cheers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Please REMOVE the links ASAP.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Looks like some issue with Google Apps. Let me search and fix it. Cheers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
I think few People here are NOT respecting my work and making copies of the work without understanding that it will create a mess for users and ultimately killing MoaAB.

I can now see that there are 8 copies floating around the internet.

Please dont do this.

If you want to work on hosts file then create your own and make your own thread. Share with PM and Just Make Your Own Website and Pages to share BUT NOT HERE.

Can I use this on lollipop?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Primokorn:
Yes Read the previous posts to get your answer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ejvyas:
I had mentioned this earlier. I am using Moto X which I believe meets those specs. But I still have severe lag issues on all apps with 30+mb hosts file. The moment I removed the hosts to switch back to smaller copy it was smooth as butter. However sometimes I prefer some ads with 0 lag so switch it off

Thanks for your hard work

Sorry, the links are down now. I meant no disrespect. I saw a need and decided to fulfill it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] berryman13:
Can anybody else host the file like moaab.tk and adblock.mahakala.is? I want to use this list as part of AdAway but neither list has been updated since like late March, even though it desperately needs one. What about self-hosting?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ΦDroid:
If you have a server and domain name you can host the file yourself as I do, but don't share the link. The OP does not approve of mirrors.

A great alternative I just discovered is local hosting. You can store the hosts.txt file on your device and link to it in Adaway with a URL of this format: file:///sdcard/hosts.txt

Adjust it to your situation.

This also let's you choose exactly what version you want to use, instead of being stuck with whatever is uploaded to the approved mirror links.

PM me if you need help, the OP probably doesn't want more clutter.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
i Appreciate that you saw the need and its Good for the community but at least you need to take permission before posting any links. Cheers. :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:

Thanks for this awesome work. 125,000 lines of text plus. Wow! That is a lot of ads blocked but I had to revert back as one or more of those lines were blocking my MMS picture messaging outbound on Vzw. I cannot figure out what line it was. I went to Adaway which only has some 56,000 lines plus. Thanks again.

UPDATE:

NM found it mms.vtext.com. I guess big Red is intrusive, hee hee but you gotta have that picture messaging. :P

I just store the file on my phone and link it with "file:///sdcard/hosts/hosts.txt" That way it always works, no matter what.

Edit: Just noticed you wrote "online" so I suppose this isn't what you're looking for. A good alternative though.

Installed the newest update and got major lag on both my HTC One M8 and Sony Z2 tablet. Previous versions have worked perfectly. I did notice Chrome went crazy with RAM usage..up to 400 mb with just 1 tab open. So might be a Chrome issue.

Gonna stay on the archived version for now, thanks :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ejvyas:
I experienced the same thing. Not only with chrome but most apps I use hence went to smaller version.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] trimax84:
Oh man, if only I saw this post earlier! I've been struggling for days trying to figure out why MMS had stopped working (I've been flashing new images on my Moto X 2014 and messing around with building a ROM while also doing a lot with Xposed). So many variables and it has taken hours of my time to figure out that using the links to the hosts files from this post in AdAway was blocking outgoing Vzw MMS!

At least I know I'm not the only one who experienced this!

I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if [MENTION=4877037]BSDgeek_Jake[/MENTION] can remove that line (mms.vtext.com) which is blocking us.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Basche:
Why not remove the line in the hosts file??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ejvyas:
He uses Adaway and online link. It will update again
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] trimax84:
Just adds a step to the process after each time I run Adaway. Would be better if this were removed from the source so that all Verizon customers using this don't have the issue.

What text editor works best on Android? The one with Solid Explorer won't open large files.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wakamatsu:
Add the address to your whitelist. I believe it takes precedence over the blacklist and will do the trick while you wait for the source file to be corrected.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kapil_dheer:
Search playstore for Hosts Editor by Nilhcem. Can handle such big files pretty well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] trimax84:
Good thinking! This worked. I added both mms.vtext.com and mms.vtext.* to the whitelist and MMS messages still go through as they should. Thanks.

Good to know for the future. Although, it seems that app edits the /system/etc/hosts file. The Vzw Moto X 2014 has write protection on so the hosts file had to be symlinked to /data/data - so I'm not sure this app would work for my purposes. Not as critical since the above whitelist method works.

2. Extract "Hosts" file from the zip folder

3. open with any text editor (as root)

4. copy everything from "#common" to the end of the file

5. open terminal & run sudo gedit /etc/hosts.deny

6. press enter twice (add 2 empty lines)

7. paste contents into file (may take a moment or two... be patient)

8. save file, then close.

9. reboot & head over to ads-blocker.com/testing/ to test

Yeah, it was a bad download. My phone was sooo slow with the latest hosts that it couldn't even download the other file. :p

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KenHua:
The new host file is about 32MB vs the March version of 4.8MB after they are decompressed. That's nearly 7 times increase in size. It would be great if we can have some examples of the types of websites that had been added. The older versions have been serving me well and I can't recall having any surprise popup of ads so far. With the warning of our Master plus various reports of lags etc. I held back the update until today. I thought I would just give it a try regardless since Dear BSDgeek_Jake had given us such a major upgrade. I believe he knows it better than any of us here. Also, to me 32MB is still a very small in comparison to the 1.6GB visible RAM on my S5. Having used it for a day I'm glad to report that I haven't felt that there was any lag in booting up or usage of the phone. I will provide an update if I see any change in its behavior over the next few days. Thanks,

Update: I've updated to June 3rd version, so far so good!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
