Hi Guys,

Can someone tell me how I can host something like "http://adblock.mahakala.is" for iphone users? It seems when I place this url in proxy settings, most in-app ads disappear.

Is it possible to mirror this JS file on my own server to host for other users?

It seems that most of the pop-up ads within apps and video ads aren't loading but a few small banners ads in the header/footer are getting through.

Thanks

I enjoy using this (thanks OP), but I have a problem. I'm using this with Adaway with the link in the OP. It blocks most ads but it also blocks videos in the TMZ app. I used logdns request in adaway to try and whitelist some things (anything with tmz in the name), but the videos still won't play. When I stop adblocking, the videos work.

Can anyone help me out here?

No

Hosts blocking is global. What you ask is impossible from a hosts blocking methodology.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brad65807:
Well i can install adaway and merge mahakala host file and filter out ALL ADS. Spotify included. So it can be done. I just wanted to try to make the hosts file smaller.

Help: Need Archived Version

Hey, I've recently installed Cyanogenmod 11 on my Note II, and finally decided also to take the plunge into host file ad blocking.

Unfortunately, the newest MoaAB puts some serious strain on my regular usage. From reading various posts, it seems that I'm looking for an archived version of MoaAB, version 03.20.2015. This is apparently the last variant before the developer updated to the new very large hosts file.

Would anyone be willing to PM me the download link? I'd sincerely appreciate it. Also, is there anything special I need to do when installing the zip in recovery? Or, could I just unzip, and manually replace the hosts file via File Manager?

Thank you so much, I hope you're willing to do me a big favor.

Happily, using MoaAB, I have seen no ads with Dolphin so far...

Another question: Is there a way to temporarily bypass the hosts file without recovery flashing the default hosts?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] idcrisis:
Hi,

Thanks a lot for this hosts file. I'm developing a new piece of software to use a very efficient mechanism to block unwanted hosts using an authoritative DNS server.

It's called CrossBreeder, it's free, and open source and located at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2113150

But I'm trying to take the software into mainstream and perhaps on Google Play some day.

Since Google Play has recently blocked all Adblocking software, I don't want to block ads as much as Malware.

Did you have a separate list for Malware available that I could use, maybe even allow users to auto update? Ideally I would be able to offer your Malware list update URL in my software and the app would download weekly updates. Of course the credits will be yours as the URL is yours. I will also add additional credits.

This will allow compliance with Google Play terms and conditions.

Thanks once again for your excellent work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:

Ultimate solution is just flash my hosts file from Post #1 and stay clear from all issues ;)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rj2k:
Actually I use this source on adaway linking to CrossBreeder master file. Parsing takes long (8mb file!) but it completes. Maybe memory problem...?

On another note maybe using more than 250 thousand entries on hosts file slows down DNS resolving? It may block ad/malware but slowing down Internet experience...

Just my 2 cents opinion... :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Yea. memory might be a problem but for newer Ándroid its should not be an issue. But i cnt deny since "every device has its own characteristics" . So far i hv seen that most of the devices are Working Great, very few numbers are affected. DNS resolution is not the problem as everthng is loaded onto memory (9MB) and processed on the fly. 1-2sec is required for DNS.

Hi dreamland,

The idea is to Block ADs to the maximum and having Better User Experience But not one solution exists which can Totally Stop ADs. My MOD will block the MAXIMUM of ADs/Malware/Spyware/Bloatware in comparision to any other Apps out there but again Not A One Stop Blocker. Thats why i keep it frequenlty updated to be in sync with Time and Technology. Time-to-Time i also include User Requested Blockings.

Hope this Helps ;)
