Appreciate the work. Works great.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sczar:
BSDgeek_Jake great work I thank you for that.

The Dec-2013 file was working great for me. I saw your update so I decided to update.

when I updated it I found that all my apps have Ads. So I flashed again and again but nothing happened.

I use Safestrap on stock TW vzw S4. I know it says CWM but the older file worked fine.

Sorry if this been asked before. But I appreciate you help and knowledge ;)

If not where can I find the Dec-2013 File? I deleted it by Mistake.

Thanks.

I´ve detected one problem:

There is a feature in KitKat (i´m running PurityRom on my Nexus 5...but it´s a feature by cm) that´s called "double-tap-to-sleep".

You have to double-tap on statusbar and your screen gets off.

After flashing this ad-blocking zip, the feature doesn´t work anymore.

Could you have a look into it!

Thx.

guys, I was having the same issue too but fixed it after I uninstalled adblock plus. try uninstall in case u have that installed.

also, using adaway now and its working fine with the hosts file here. could be an adblock plus issue
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] question.com:
I'm not running any other ad blocking apps. Only this zip and I also can't see some sections of the play store.

When I had the issue, I completed a full device wipe and the script worked fine after.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Listy2021:
Install AdAway, bring the in-app menu up and add this address in the "Hosts Sources" option:

http://adblock.mahakala.i24.cc/

Any host sources ticked will then be merged next time you apply the ad-blocking via AdAway

Just to give some detail about it because I ran into trouble with the Bleacher Report Team Stream app.

It won't allow you to sign in, or to connect with Facebook.

Also, when you try to click on stories that are from outside Bleacher Report, such as ESPN, CBS, etc., it comes up with a broken url Web Page instead of loading the story.

For stories that are Bleacher Report content, it will load the story, but you can't tap on items like the "Next" or "Previous" button to continue reading the story (BR often has stories that are broken in multiple pages).

You also can't click on surveys and submit, or the link to view results, as well as tap on the comments section to load them to be able to read.

Hope that is some help? Thanks again for your hard work on this awesome feature!

Thanks buddy. I will make corrections. Please check by next update. Cheers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Thanks. Copy will always work. It's too simple. Copy, Set User and Permissions and everything is done.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dan_Aykroyd:
Hi,

I flashed the latest January 22 with TWRP update and it didn't work (ads were still showing in Chrome and apps). I verified the system/etc/hosts file on the device and it was only a couple of bytes in size with the localhost only redirection, so the flashing didn't do anything.

I manually copied the hosts file over, set the permission to root owner and root group, also rw-r--r-- and restarted. When I go to check, the ads on the apps seem to be blocked as they no longer load and show the white box instead. I've tried this with AppSales ad at the bottom.

The problem is that on Chrome ads keep appearing and even the test pages (http://www.carrieriq.com/, http://www.flurry.com/, http://www.inmobi.com/) load fine, as they are not being blocked. I've tried clearing Chrome cache and phone cache from TWRP and it's the same.

Any clues as what might be going on? Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lawhawk:
As always! Awesome work and always happy to help when you are doing all the heavy lifting for everyone's benefit!

I've got a question / suggestion, and it may be too extensive to actually be able to successfully block in full or if completely blocked could cause the Site to not properly load and display the video stream, but I thought I would at least see what you thought?

Any chance to block and remove the numerous pop ups and overlapping windows on

http://firstrowus1.eu/

You'll see when you click on a game link it will typically load a primary add that blocks the embedded video Window completely for about 30 seconds. After the countdown, this window typically goes away, but there are usually 3-5 other ad windows scattered on top of the streaming video.

Any suggestions on how to block all these other windows? I am less bothered about having to wait 30 seconds for the main blocking window to go away, but if that can be removed too, all the more better!

Anxious to hear your thoughts.

Thx!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dan_Aykroyd:
Thanks, but as I said, I ended copying it manually and setting the permissions. The ads in apps are blocked, but Chrome still shows them as if it wasn't following the hosts file redirections.

Maybe it has something to do with this?: [Q] Why Android ignores /system/etc/hosts file? Does it work for anybody using Chrome? The block of ads I mean...

PS: By the way, I have the "Bandwidth saving" feature disable, so that's not an issue.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] edzamber:
Maybe a story of Chrome 's xlm...

Posté via Unofficial BeanStalk powered by DorimanX
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dan_Aykroyd:
What's XLM? And does this host file block ads for you in your browser? Which browser do you use?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] edzamber:
I don't know, its just a suggestion about xlm, i don't use Chrome but FireFox, and yes its works :

Posté via Unofficial BeanStalk powered by DorimanX
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dan_Aykroyd:
Thanks! But what do you mean by XLM? That's what I didn't understand...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] detdett:
What browser are you using?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] edzamber:
I means maybe a setting in data/data/com.android.chrome/ shared_prefs/com.android.chrome_preferences.xml.

This file set preferences and many others things into app. So maybe something wrong in this file prevent hosts to works.

Firefox :)

Is there a way to flash this via odin or mobile odin? Or any other way instead of flashing custom recovery? Assuming a device is rooted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Primokorn:
Odin is a Samsung tool only. If you don't have any custom recovery you can manually paste the hosts file into etc/ folder then set the permissions to 644 rw-r--r-- and reboot.

Sorry. By reading some posts here I wrongly assumed this is Samsung specific. OK. Thanks.

Hybrid = largest size.

mahakala = middle size

friendly = smallest size.

Currently using largest size file. Will report if any problems. Or difference that are noticeable.

Also friendly + hybrid appears to be newer..

I did not read all the pages. What is the different between this zip and a nomal adblocker app?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Basche:
This will put all the blocked addresses in the host file, while the app will run as a process utilizing your ram. This host file is better as it will be built into the system, not use as much RAM (memory)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sonwon:
One benefit of an ad blocker is it can block popups. I don't think this is a problem with Android yet however it could be in the future. I noticed this when I decide to use this file on my PC and did away with the AD blocker. I now use both.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] asmaron:
