OK but when the file is updated I have to reflash the new one ?

Sent From My Beaned Razr I
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Primokorn:
Yes

I don't think it's necessary to previously use the "reset" file.

But you need a custom recovery.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Every new update should be Flashed.

Need to use the reset file or directly flash the new hosts file?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Directly Flash the dated file 'ADBlocking_xxx_xxx.zip'

Does it work?

Hi, thanks for this!

How could I check if it's working or not? I'm on a Samsung Galaxy Note (GT-N7000), stock ROM 4.1.2 and I'm still not sure if it's blocking ads. I've tried browsing a couple of pages and ads were certainly showing...

Just tried to open ge.tt as instructed in a previous post and it opened OK... so... the mod isn't working?

Thanks!

I got the host alpha .do I keep the host also? Or do I rename the host alpha to host or just keep both? Host and host alpha

I've added the 2 local host 127 lines in the alpha.

When I open a host editor app ,it still shows all the host websites not in alphabetical.

If your rooted that host editor alows you to toggle overly aggressive entries. If your not rooted it gets complicated, id use no cromo in that case.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] intrloper:
Wanted to ask if there was anyway the new host file would be causing WiFi connection issues with my TMO Nexus6? I have it rooted with TWRP, using a stock ROM from google with:

Baseband: MDM9625_104662.22.05.34R

MOB30D -I know that is old but havent had a chance to install new update.

I do use gravity box for a few UI tweaks but aside from that just this host file.

I didnt know what would cause the WiFi to become intermittent. It seems like the signal is really strong then suddenly the icon drops and I see a 3g icon, few seconds later the WiFi icon is back with an exclamation mark. It shows obtaining IP and no internet for 20-30 seconds then comes back.

Want to at least try and rule out host file issues. if possible.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

There's a way!!!

You can!!!

But you most be rooted

1st go to your file manager open internal memory goto Android>data>com.droidbender.toonmania>files then erase the folder .vungle

After you erase it create a new file... NEW FILE!!! Then rename it as ".vungle" it will become a replace for the .vungle folder

Then download luck patcher and look for the application and click it>open menu of patches>remove google ads>disable ad activities> and look for the following and disable it...

See pictures attached...

Try it on your own risk... It works for me...

You need to flash an xposed framework for your right architecture. Then download the Xposed MinMinGuard on Xposed Repo. Then open the module then apply in all apps then select options then enable for even in system apps. Combined with this Adblocker, your phone is now fully Ad-free. Trust me ??
