I want to Help you guys including me to get free from Intrusive UI experience, Invisible Trackers and Reporters, Stealth Privacy Programs, etc.

BUT in return Help me Catch and TAP every known AD sources and Malware sources. It will take some time but the Results will be Awesome for our devices. We own our Devices and Sandbox it without loosing functionality. I know this will definitely upset many Primary Developers and Sponsored Developers but Can't Help now. The AD system is knowingly Vicious circle for users.

Please Post or PM the AD identifiers, Apps in which you are seeing ADs, only App name will be sufficient and Rest i will drive.

Before posting please make sure that you have properly searched the Thread for the said issue.

DO NOT post any links or duplicate work here unless told to do so. Its not harmful to share you work and good for community help but this will also introduce too many different versions and drive the users to different directions and biased perspective. Please Help me.

Sorry about double post. Could not delete one if my replies to Jake's post directed at whodisname. While the original poster may have thought the directions given to be funny. The consequences would not have been . If something sounds too good to be true, Google or Wikipedia can be a good friend. I hope the author of the original post had been misinformed rather then had malicious intent. Gary

I think this new update blocks download from dev host link. I can access download page but can't start downloading.

Dev host can be a problem you may be faced with 3 download links the one to use is the middle one

anyone else having problems with downloading? i click and nothing happens...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] whodisname:
I had ad free ad away, unbeloved hosts module, and this. I found that unbeloved hosts blocked them, no matter what downloads I omitted. So I reflashed ROM and just falshed this over it. This also blocked my play store and I wiped my delvuc and cashe (maybe even 4x!!!) And also after boot I wiped cache, data, then force stopped and uninstalled updates. That didn't work. So I deleted ALL my Google apps (store, maps, core, etc.) Then reflashed PAgapps from the cm11 lg l90 op. Still no go. So I did a bit of research and deleted the data/hosts file. Still no go even after a reboot. My ROM is heavily modified and I won't even lie, sometimes I read a little bit of the op of things and if I have a current backup I just flash and see. It was certainly this zip caused the problem, but it could be that t was just incompatible with something I had. I'm leaning this way because lots of people made it work here. I tried the new build and the October one. Same results. Didn't have an ad one tho!!

Oh and yes, please don't use my above posted codes. If you make them work they can and will brick your device permanently. They were directed at Mr. burninsomecuztheytheonlyonesandarespecialsoyouneedtoknow. For pokin fun.

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

And for the sake of fairness, I'm going to try this again. I will post back in 10 min. First let me uninstall all my adblockers and apps that are new to me first.

.

Well, at least I'm honest. Just reinstalled and it works fine. I must have missed something the last time. I had several adblockers (all were only partially effective) so there must have been a stray for le of some sort that got left. My apologies to the developer/s.

I went to an Obama fan club site and no ads there (and since his fans believe whatever they are told m sure there were hundreds of ads on that page!

is format of your hosts file correct ?

the hosts file has this structure:

127.0.0.1 onedomain seconddomain

etc.

but I know that on windows my host file has this structure:

127.0.0.1 onedomain

127.0.0.1 seconddomain

etc.

********

Is your format of hosts file correct so domains on second position in row are blocked ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Primokorn:
Ditto

Removing fs1.d-h.st fs-2004.webovastranka.sk solves this issue.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RPelham:
Your windows hosts file can be the same as the first structure you posted. Same IP addresses don't need new entries, hosts can be overridden with a single 127.0.0.1 entry followed by a list of domain names separated by a space.

Some people prefer in windows to add them to separate lines but it is NOT needed and the first structure is 100% valid.

anyone else having ads show up in latest nov edition? flashed back october and everything is ok again :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] whodisname:
I haven't had any ads in two days. I just reinstalled ad free from bigtincan, just to get any stragglers. It turns out my previous trouble came from "unbeloved hosts" from xposed. Leaving this here to correct my earlier post.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ipfreelytech:
I'm still getting loads of ads when using either the october or november version. I've been using various versions of this hosts file with great success. Perhaps its just the last couple revisions?

I can see that the hosts file did install into /etc. Examining the hosts file it does appear to have bogus records for doubleclick.net and googleadservices.com so it should be working to block most google ads.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gggggas:
And i thought i was the only one. In deed some apps do have ads now and it feels so strange since i always had them blocked lol.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Impuls3101:
I just wanted to give anyone who runs pure perfomances X a heads up that this list will flash initially but get deleted on a reboot. Pure performance rewrites the host file if it doesn't match its reference file. I bypassed this by extracting the host file and copying it to system/etc/CrossBreeder/ . I then reflashed and it stays put and ads are gone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z-vet:
I too have ads with 19.11 version, but no ads with previous one. The hosts file is half of it's regular size: 13MB instead of 26 in previous version. Is it related in any way?

Oh, and please, OP, remove lenta.ru from the file: it's just a news portal.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kealke:
You can edit the hosts file and remove the adresses you want. It's a simple text file so no tutorials needed, just notepad.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kealke:
The hosts file inside the zip works on any android phone, that much i can tell you. If you can flash the zip via recovery on any phone, that i don't know. Thus you can await an answer from someone who does know, or extract the zip and copy the hosts file yourself right now. Hope that helps you somewhat.

"Getting ADs recently and concerned. " Don't worry. This will get better over time. All ADs cannot be blocked and already blocked ADs might show up in later releases due to the fact that AD owner always shifts there AD domains and sub-domains, there is always a new Namespace. Just keep Reporting and Flash the latest MoaAB to get the maximum ADs blocked out of your device. Cheers.

Dunno how you inferred there was "a fight", but you're wrong. I simply made an informative post as to why his xda app wouldn't open last night, deferring his first assumption that YOUR ad blocking host file was at fault.

hi guys.. sorry if this has been asked before.

If using MoaAB with AdAway, I just need to add http://adblock.mahakala.is/ to the "host sources" part of the app?

I'm asking because the default lists have a .txt extension and the one from mahakala doesn't. I could try it but I'd rather ask first :D

Many thanks.

EDIT:

The hosts file from mahakala has 832898 lines.

The one in the zip file has 1187173

EDIT 2:

I just saw that the one on mahakala is from Sept.

What's the easiest way to go if I use AdAway? Upload to a free web host and add that to AdAway?

Are they the same?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vikraminside:
Rename current hosts file. Reset the permissions of new hosts file as it was original (use chmod or es file explorer). I guess latest lollipop support multiple users like guest mode.

Each shell should reflect the change of hosts so please do restart of phone.

Add a mapping to hosts for a domain name like mydomain to your loopback address 127.0.0.1 and ping it.

Hosts:

127.0.0.1 mydomain

Terminal emulator:

ping mydomain

ping 127.0.0.1

Both output should be same. See if changes are getting reflected. If yes moab should work in my humble opinion.
