Will your Mother of all Adblock app support Android 5.0.2?

An UPDATE Just Drops In...

I still don’t have time and motivation to work on MoaAB as I used to, but I’m slowly starting again (no promises though).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lzk123:
Any chance that you will provide a link to the host file, for use in AdAway or other adblock apps?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thermalboyz:
+1 Host link to use in Adaway. Use to have the link on OP but now removed. Wonder the link have the latest update or not.

Thank OP for new update.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thom@s:
I'm afraid the new version is not available anymore on the server (tried to download 4 times and faced 4 timeout :( )

EDIT : server up now :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Funkmasterchilla:
Hey! Despite the recent update I still got taboola ads :( is that intentional?

Thx!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skripka:
Not just you. I think it is intentionally downsized a bit because only top-tier phones could compile the list with AdBlock...and other phones that just loaded the host file would bog down processing a 40MB host file.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ejvyas:
Does that mean it will work for most phones now? What is the size of normal hosts file?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ΦDroid:
I never thought I would say this, but I think this is a good decision. My router at home has extremely thorough ad blocking, and I really only need something basic while I'm away from home. I don't think it is worth it to bog down a device for a little better blocking. I honestly haven't seen a difference in blocking between the two hosts files. Results vary with usage though I'm sure. :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skripka:
Normally in the 100s of kB, the current MoaAB list is in the neighborhood of 4.5MB. Should be quite usable on lesser or older devices now, although YMMV.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Funkmasterchilla:
Yo, what about those remaining taboola.com ads??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Beat_Slayer:
Install adaway and add them manually.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Primokorn:
Download Hosts Editor and modify the host file yourself ^^ No need to install another ad-blocker.

You should WANT viglink blocked.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janarp:
How i use url shortener?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GorfDroid:
Install App Redirect from the playstore.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skripka:
Clear your browser defaults. Open a link in Tapatalk and have it default to URL Shortener.

Tapatalk has gotten very blatant in their privacy policy about saying "We'll take all your personal info including email, phone number, address, and the same for every person you ever talk to...and sell it to make ourselves rich". I refuse to use Tapatalk products or services now. That includes the XDA Premium app (it uses Tapatalk servers also). I browse XDA by web broswer only until XDA's own forum app is done. Using Tapatalk at all is a massive privacy black hole, viglink blocking or not.

Do not need it.

It's no blocking any ad, nor apps nor browsers.

The file is notoriously smaller than the others releases. Maybe that is related with the issue... Just guessing

I was using the may2014 a 40+mb version. Finally got to updating. Surprised to see such a small file now, its almost like the default. Only 3.9mb. Still doesn't block taboola which is a really annoying ad app.

Managed to block taboola by adding these to the host file:

127.0.0.1 api.taboola.com

127.0.0.1 taboola.com

127.0.0.1 images.taboola.com

Just go back to an earlier release then, everytime a new version comes out there is always someone somewhere that says the new one doesn't work, I do not know where you are in the world but at least for me in the UK ads are blocked on the new version but YMMV so just go back to an earlier release if that is better
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Darktitor:
This Mod is really great !

But in Appy Geek I'm still getting ads :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Blueblob:
And now some ROM you can update host file without reboot/recovery/flash and blabla. We can't stop progress ! ?

People forget something : admin the host file is a ****ing great and hard job. App is a "must have" (not for all). Just my two cents.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
For some MoaAB will work 99%, For some it will kind of work but users are not happy... BUT in the end it is always working above 80% acceptability mark and Blocking all the Major AD-platforms.

For me this version is Much more capable of Blocking almost All the ADs i used to get in the past. Now i dont see even 1 single AD on my phone.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] edwardmax2010:
I don't think you want them to be blocked. When I used this, the *mania apps doesn't work. I can't seem to watch any episodes in Animania unless I whitelist the adverts in the hosts.

---------- Post added at 05:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 AM ----------

Adaway is just a container for hosts files. You could put this hosts on Adaway.

You can compare it to other hosts not to AdAway.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zordak7:

how can I look for the ads domains inside apps, to add them by myself to the host file?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
I can understand that BIG hosts file is a Must and even i use it till date but many of the users are not on Performance Kind of Devices or they dont want to loose there Phones performance even if its not noticable and not related. What i have seen is that MoaAB was always considered the Performance Hungry MOD but in real practical way it is a Good Performer with 1ms-2ms (dont ask how i got this) latency and as per the required specs in Post #1, Users dont read the posts and just install it without understanding the concepts and report issues without troubleshooting first. Sorry buddy please do not attach or link any files here other than my Release. You can always create your own Thread using my earlier releases but maintaining it yourself and without any updates from me. Hope you understand. Cheers. :good:

i have been using MoaAB on all my devices and simply love it!

i have recently done a clean install of dr ketan v14 rom on my phone.

i have still to install adblock file on my phone.

i looked under system/etc/ i couldnt find a hosts file instead there is a nohosts file

can i replace the nohosts with the hosts file i have downloaded from the first post ?

i am currently not using any adblocking programs on my phone

Just noticed the old December hosts file that I have been using from this forum is about 39MB while the latest 4MB is there a mistake or the Feb one is an add-on to the old Dec one?

I read through the installation process it nowhere mentions that this is a Addon file then howcome the Feb file is soo small. Does it block all the ad servers like December one?
