WARNING: This release is packaged as massive in size (25+MB) and will be the base for next few releases. Corrections will be made on User request (via PM), my Research and Auto Derive Source and Evaluate (my piece of code).

If you are very worried of RAM usage (30MB atmost) please i request you to revert back to ARCHIVED version and wait for the release which will be considered safe by you.

INFO: I have not found any major RAM usage in my phones/tablet (Samsung S2, Samsung S5, Micromax A210, Micromax FunTAB) so i consider this release as stable.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] volkl23:
This might be a total noob question as I have just discovered MoaAB. I've been using Adaway up until this point. Previously with Adaway, the ads in apps would never display (for example GSAM battery meter.

I uninstalled Adaway and installed MoaAB, but the ads started appearing in GSAM. To confirm that MoaAB was blocking ads, I tested it with ads-blocker.com and it didn't show anything (it was working) on the webpage. So I installed Adaway again and GSAM started to not show any ads again within the app.

Has anyone experienced this? Am I doing something wrong? Is Adaway filtering things that MoaAB is not?

Thanks in advance.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FPSUsername:
Installed the adblocker, rom and kernel update, still got ads.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
The idea is to minimize the ADs

not Total eradication

. Please check if you see ADs in other apps too... check for hosts file size and permissions from any Root Explorer or Your shell methods. :good:

I know, but I used the link in op to test it. (it should be gone/minimized. why would you put a link in op when the ads would stay there even after installation?)

Just touch the first post you want to quote and when it turns blue you can touch as many other posts as you need. They will turn blue also. When you have selected all the posts you want, just tap the reply icon at the top of the page. All the posts you selected should be listed. Type your reply and hit send icon. You may have to wait longer than usual after tapping the reply icon because it has to gather all the quoted posts.

Long press on a message you want to quote then select other messages you want to quote then click the 'multi quote' icon normally located the top right. And your your done. Please Note that multi quoting does take a little while to load especially with mobile data. Hope this helps.

With the september releases, my phone lags a lot and sometimes system ui crashes on boot. Going to back to july, no problems. Maybe the new hosts file is getting too large for my phone? I have 1gb ram, 1200mhz dual core cpu, on 4.4.2.

Hi, low ram devices will not fit in. not supported but you can use old releases to atleast make it work.

Hi, not seeing any crash due to this MOD as per my testing. may be you are getting low on RAM or CPU. I hv already mentioned in the post that you will be charged 30MB of RAM during normal use. you can always revert to old release for safe side. Regards.

Nexus 7, stock 4.4.4: ads in youtube.

I had thought they were gone when I first tried 09032104 R4, but quite possible I didn't test enough.

I wonder what adblock in Chrome on Windows 7 is doing - I don't see youtube ads there.

hi Jake. the espn fantasy football app is not functional with the new sept 3 zip. "unable to connect to espn. please ensure a strong internet connection is available and try again (P4)"

glad he's working on it!

in other news, if i just delete the (40) ESPN entries from the hosts file it works, but i though Jake might be able to find a better way to enable the fantasy football app than that.

no adblock app works for android and moaab

adfree fails on import to blacklist or web update. adblock.mahakala.is I have tried adblock plus, ad away , adfree, and none of them are able to import the 15mb moaab file. I have replaced it as my hosts file and set permissions and sometimes I don't want to be using it. I would prefer to use an app so I can revert to original hosts file and reboot easier. I would prefer to import file from local media instead of the internet. can anyone direct me it this app exists? I also really like the idea of the local web server running on localhost. thanks.

:( Hosts file doubled in weight, yet 'Clean/Secure your phone' crap bleeds through...

Not blaming anyone, it's just the irony :p

Anybody know if that unofficial AdAway 2.9.1/2.8.1 d4rken mod [I did attempt to download it: "searching for mirrors"; Forever. :banghead: ] can parse/build this latest file?

The trouble is AdAway overwrites instead of appending. So, I put the hosts into a server and pulled it as a source from localhost. It locks up/crashes.

I don't have PC access to manually edit atm. :( Trying to edit on device lags/cooks. Reverted to July 2nd/AdAway sources for now.

HOX customised ViperX with average 400MB of free RAM giving me jip over 27MB of ascii. :banghead:

I think you can do a symlink in the settings and direct it to a separate location
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PiggyFlooper:
Hello there, Adblock Plus is more for non-root users for blocking ads. It reroutes traffic, that's why the app tells you to set up a proxy in your WiFi settings. If your rooted, forget Adblock Plus. Adaway is the way to go. And after you flash the Moab host file and ads still aren't being blocked, it may be because /system/etc/hosts isn't the right place for your hosts file. I believe what [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] was saying is that in Adaway's settings, you can symlink the host file to the correct place, so that ads will be blocked. This may help with that too- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2863036

In my experience, Adaway overwrites the large Moab hosts, so I don't use it to update hosts

I'm using this hosts file from here with some own modifications, but can someone explain me why hosts gets ignored by Android? I checked the EOL is set to Unix and permissions are set to 0644 0 0. I don't know if it's a Android limitation or only slim but I already have this problem with stock/slim/omni. (4.4/4.4.4)

Here is an example how my hosts looks like

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
127.0.0.1 broadcasthost
::1 localhost #IPv6

# BAD HOSTS BEGIN HERE
0.0.0.0 fr.a2dfp.net
0.0.0.0 ---.chine-li.info
0.0.0.0 -ads.avast.dwnldfr.com
0.0.0.0 mom-nude.com
......

It's still possible for me to visit and ping all "blocked" entries. I also tried to change the 0.0.0.0 prefix <-> to 127.0.0.1 but without luck. My question is now is this file now obsolete? And from what I've know is that the file not get applied if we change the connection from e.g. 3g (rmnet0) to wlan (wlan0), so are there a workarounds to apply the hosts file again on connectivity changes - or every xyz minutes? XDA not gave me anything useful if I search (only all thinks what I already know) [but doesn't work].

I was now able to manage the problem, see here. (but still problem if connectivity change + usb-thetering)
