Thanks for the response!

Sorry I didn't follow this great thread from the beginning, would you please to tell me, what is the correct permission for the hosts file?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bombadier:
Flash the zip in recovery and it does it all

lifted from the install script

set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/etc/hosts");

Hi buddy, I confirm that this mod working good on my LP 5.0.2, ads blocked as should it. No lagging issue.

Thanks!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
I dont understand why people are complaining for bootloop. Guys this MOD only replaces the hosts and Nothing else. Please make sure that U are having right questions and Issues before posting. Cheers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sonwon:
Does the kernel load the host file during boot? If it does maybe running out of memory during boot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bombadier:
Kernel doesn't have anything to do with the hosts its in the ROM

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

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yanowman:
Question..

I realize there is a lot of different types of ads, but what type of ad is it that is in a game like Words with Friends... Even with newest MOAB still getting intrusive ads
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iqoq:
I think on the op states clearly about caution, thats you don't want be complained if any bootloop trouble if using your mod. And other user who wants to try your mod have ask "if" bootloop trouble.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Few users are just not asking but they already had the bootloop caused by unknown reasons, Some did PM me on the issue. Post #1 states that i will not comment on such issues but still I will help to get it going.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Many ADs will be Blocked and Many will come thru transparently, That's the beauty of ADs. Will try to fix it in the coming updates. Cheers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Call it Full and Optimized.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Loading is always on-the-fly by the Android Native Name Resolution Process. Nothing to do with the kernel. Android TCP Stack and DNS Protocol takes care of all the things. Memory Loop only happens when Apps are struck in Some Request/Response operatives. MoaAB is a MOD not an App so safer than other counterparts.

Got it and thank you!

[MENTION=4877037]BSDgeek_Jake[/MENTION] so. Im using the note 4 exynos which is octa core a53 and a57.. Before i use full agust.. Thay is 40mb aprox? But then it lags on like loading chats on bbm.. But i upgrade to this new full? Its smaller.. So it didnt lag.. And so if i use android 5.0 that might get memory leak? Well ok.. Im using 5.1.1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
This will work everywhere as long as Apps are not freaking out. Android 5.0x has the tendency to Freak [emoji1] Probably safe on 5.1x. Try it yourself and let me know.

If you want Hulu to work, do the following to unblock it:

1. download the zip and extract the 'hosts' file in it.

2. open hosts with notepad

3. goto Edit->Replace

4. replace:

with something else, I suggest:

so it is easy to undo later if you ever needed to

note this will make you unable to visit www.hulufix.com for any reason

5. hit 'replace all' then save

6. repeat for

7. either overwrite the hosts file in the zip file with the new one and flash it with your android device

or just copy the hosts file directly to SYSTEM\ETC\ on your android device

8. reboot android and enjoy

Hi, I want to know what is the difference between adaway and this zip ? Whats is tje better for you ?

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

Strange behaviour:

Nexus 6 with 6.x encrypted, almost stock (boot image and root)

i can install the file but if i check it it's only 4.26Mb, if i open the file the list end around s instead of z like the full ones.

if i try to copy the file directly it said that i can't copy. Direct copy seems related to android but i don't understand why TMW said that it's ok and i don't have the full file. I tried manytimes.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vitalym:
Is there an advantage using this over minminguard?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ricco333:
I believe they are two different approaches, this less invasive method replaces your current host file with a more aggressive and ad safe one, whereas minminguard is an Xposed module thus requiring the installation of Xposed, and needless to say Xposed currently does not work with Marshmallow.

Hope it helps.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zemaree:
Tnx :) seems complete...

i tried the new version but now end at "o".

maybe can be related to the fact that my nexus is encrypted?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Krojack:
Shouldn't have anything to do with encryption. Only the USERDATA partition is encrypted. Are you flashing via recovery like it says in post #1? I didn't do it this way. I just unzipped the file on my computer and got the hosts file from the 'system/etc' folder and copied that to my phone. The on the phone I used Root Explorer to first backup my original '/system/etc/hosts' file then copy the new one overwriting the old. Make sure after the copy to set the correct permissions on the file. chmod 644 or rw-r--r--. Once you're done reboot.

i did via recovery and in this way i can write in the system, the log off installation state that was success but then i have the file cutted.

I try via root explorer and i get not possible (yes was mount as r/w)

I tried also via terminal with cp and it fail cause there is not enought space, but df state 16Mb... meh...

probably i have something mess with the / root cause i can't figure why is doing this. But i'm waiting for the new root procedure to clean all and start from a clean mobile.

Flash it in recovery, it blocks ads.

Works on marshmallow and every version of Android (it's not an app). It renders adaway and every other ad block app obsolete.

For what it's worth this massive host file works prefect. Ads are nonexistent. However on my Moto X Dev Edition (2013) running a slimmed down stock ROM of lollipop, it slows the device down significantly.

[MENTION=4877037]BSDgeek_Jake[/MENTION] could you upload the last light version?

-- I believe it was 01 September2015_r2

Additionally, could you leave the light and tiny versions until they are updated, then just change the timestamp after upload?

And possibly list them like this:

- Full Optimized Version _R1 (11 / 09 / 2015)

- Light Version_R2 (09 / 01 / 2015)

- Tiny version (insert date here)

Nice adblock list, however I'm encountering a problem accessing in my mobile network personal page. The mobile network is H3G and the url to access the personal page through mobile is this . Even the app doesn't work properly giving an error whenever i try to update the counters or seek more info.

P.S. Another issue is accessing the microsoft page .

Btw i reverted the host file and now everything works as intended for now I'll stay with adaway. Whenever you release a amaller one I'll check it moreover i noticed some hiccups when loading the browser or some social networks (as messenger) that would render my nexus 5 unusable for some seconds.

First of all: thanks soo much for this wonderful Moab

More than 3 years "old" and still the best :good:

@ those asking for exeption:

ARE YOU SERIOUS???

You think this wonderful dev should shorten his list because of some single user?

:facepalm:

Either go and delete the selected lines yourself

OR (thats what I do) rename the host file for those minutes you need adblock off.

Renaming switches blocking-state ondemand in secs.

Hope it helps - cheers

Blade
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Arathon:
First if the site is blocked it is quite hard to pint-point what's the cause and specifically the urls that got blocked and block the main site altogether. e.g the OFFICIAL MICROSOFT page can't be accessed when this host is enable and the main url is not present on the host file. So how can i analyze the page in search for other "incriminated" url that need to be whitelisted if i can't access it, we are not wizard and I rely for now solely on the mobile connection.

Second I'm always for privacy and protection as well limiting the number of ads however blocking legitimate and worldwide used site as microsoft.com (and in my case http://ac3.tre.it/) is a non-sense and I noticed some other sites too are blocked for non specified reason (Unfortunately I didn't save them to report later). Now tell me why in your opinion microsoft should be blocked?

Third I read this thread a bit to evaluate this host file and in various occasion the OP said that sometimes people would report an otherwise good-standing site as "malicious" (take it in a broader meaning) hence it is added in his database as such and it would be blocked. So reporting such occurrence , as I've done, may prove useful because OP can whitelist them from his database if deemed as safe.

Fourth I hate people that would reply so aggressively for no reason because the only one that has the right to complain is OP and from what i read he was always nice and replied to everyone (except for the hosting of his file or other here which i support his approach) moreover this is a support thread for this adblock hence people here would seek support if they encounter some issues.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BIade:
Sorry if it was aggressive, not meant that way.

You are completely right about those sites, which should be whitelisted. (e.g. microsoft)

I read a lot of threads, and thought complaining about it one time is ok, but not that often like in this thread.

Just thought how can a single dev fullfill all user-wishes and also for me there are some sites which are blocked, and wanted to share the approach with renaming.

Because it is so fast, you can also create a tasker-toggler to rename the file onclick. (which is even more user-friendly)

When I read my own post again, I also think its too aggressive, so I apologize to all!! Im sorry
