[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nagpalkapil:
Its simple u just need to flash the zip file in recovery. Yes u can use both in conjunction. But this list is all inclusive so u may only flash this & it would be done.

To use them in conjunction u would need to select this host files link given in OP and then open adway and select option to add host file.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wh1t3Rose:
No need to disable Adaway or remove the hosts file. Just add the website to the whitelist in adaway. If it's an app that's broken and you don't know the website that the hosts file is blocking then use the log function in Adaway to find out. Then add to the whitelist.

+1 and I know this was discussed last year in october a few times so I apologize in advance, but it's my experience too. The dev says it's pandora's issue, which wouldn't surprise me but I can confirm the issue does exist.

If I go back to stock hosts no stutter, if I use adblock plus no stutter...

This host file is way better than adblock plus, but it kills pandora with the screen off. My guess is pandora is pinging the hosts file frequently... with the screen on it's ok because the cpu hasn't been throttled down, but with screen off it's running out of power, if I go to interactive governor and up the minimum cpu speed the problem goes away, but this kills the battery.

I tried it with the latest hosts to make sure and it's still happening. I can reproduce the issue by renaming the stock hosts, dropping this one in and running pandora with the screen off, instant stutter. remove it and restore the stock hosts and no more skipping.

If you must have pandora like me, your only options are to go to a more aggressive governer/cpu speed or to use something else like adblock plus, it's a bummer though because that app can't touch how well this hosts file works to block ads.

I tend to blame the app, I am sure pandora is doing something stupid in the background to cause this issue, but it's a definite issue.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 2545:
It is my understanding that this MOAAB blocks incoming ad traffic before it hits the phone whereas other ad blockers filter ad data already sent and used up by the phone. In the latter, data is only filtered and deleted upon receipt; negating the effectiveness of data consumption by ads. Let me know if this is correct.

Essentially, without MOAAB, we would be paying for ads displayed on our screen with our data plans!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Spiricore:
Add another +1 on all points. I've been using MoaAB for years and didn't really notice this until I was creating a new profile with ViperFX to post on XDA today and was wondering why I had to bump up my CPU profile from low power to balanced where I hadn't in the past. I hadn't been flashing MoaAB because I've been doing CarbonROM nightlies and using Puffin Browser so I didn't have a lot of interaction with ads (for better or worse), but I did notice a difference. I first suspected the latest nightly, but after seeing mention of this here (again) I'm pretty bummed.

Regardless, the problem is fairly minor for me as opposed to the headaches I was giving myself trying to get the KT kernel and KTweaker set properly - at least with Play Music. I'm a sound designer so I definitely notice it, but it's not a deal breaker as long as I'm near a power source. I'll keep both flashables handy for when I'm out and about; hopefully [MENTION=4877037]BSDgeek_Jake[/MENTION] or anyone else smart enough can narrow down the list of suspects and still give us the amazing results MoaAB gives without sacrificing what ends up being performance and battery life.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
+1. Thanks for the inputs.

Recently i felt that ViperFX 2.3.2.5 and up (including 2.3.x +/- versions) are creating sound stuttering irrespective of the music player or local notifications, its specifically during screen-off and screen-on. I hv used Super/High Quality Profiles and No CPU tweaks (ondemand) and its there most of the time. I thing current releases of ViperFX are more CPU/Memory intensive and require continous Performance Profiles to work. Thats what the ViperFX Dev is constantly saying. Other option is to use the Battery Save mode which i think kills the Sound Quality.

This discussion is Off Topic so lets Divert it to ViperFX Thread.

Edit: I also block ViperFX chinese domains (i respect the dev and had no problems with the dev or group). But question is "Why a DSP App require access to internet and to few domains other than the regular update check and blog. Seems this App also has call back tracker and logging feature. I simply block all my Apps (local and no internet apps) thru Avast Firewall, XPrivacy and MoaAB.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
MoaAB blocks Outgoing (first block, requests) and Incoming requests (response, based on outgoing). All requests are always initiated by the Phone and then multiplied by the server so if we block the Phone request then None of the AD/Crap requests will be processed. Server will never know about the Phone (requester).

Its always a Client-Server process.

Dont get me wrong ....I've been using this for months and I love it. Its just lately I have been experiencing data loss after a day or two on all these new roms. Sometimes my contacts as well.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] simpson173:
Thanks.....I thought maybe after flashing your program it might be the reason so I reflashed the ROM and all was good.....until tonight. I purposely did not flash yours and again ....data gone. I have been a flashing fool trying to figure this thing out. These are all good roms I am using. I have a Verizon s3 and an At&t s3 with net 10 as my carrier. It happens on both phones. I always use your ad blocking program so I thought maybe. I don't know enough about all this. Have only been at it for about six months or so. At first thought about flashing back to stock but both phones ?????

They don't have an ad free version. I always buy pro version of apps that I love.

Min min guard xposed framework module was awesome when it was being updated. You could block ads on individual apps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kInOzAwA:
i don't think this ads block via hosts file giving a bad effect to the device. BTW, you can recheck by flashing back your ROM or any nandroid backup before you flash the zip file. Manually copy the hosts file to /system/etc/ . For the old hosts file just rename to hosts.bak or whatever name with the extension you like. Don't forget to chmod 644 /system/etc/hosts if you're doing that in the terminal emulator. If you're doing that in file explorer like root explorer / Solid Explorer etc, just change the permission to rw-r-r. It's easy.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] simpson173:

I always thought the Dalvik runtime loaded the host file on bootup into its own DNS cache, so any changes wouldn't actually take effect until the next reboot.

Can I ask for the version before this 2014? It doesn't work on my device with the latest version :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shivadow:
As far as I can tell it isnt the host file blocking it. There are no entries related to the hosting site or showbox itself within the hosts file. The only thing I can think of is showbox servers have changed to fc the app when the ads don't get pushed. Almost like the server must have a received signal for ads or it simply disconnects the app.

More evidence that it's a server side change is that no-one has received an app update so the app code hasn't changed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 2545:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shivadow:
I have managed to single it out to the banner ads. If showbox detects the banners blocked then the server instructs a shutdown/force close.

I have discovered 2 ways. 1 is iffy and 2 seems to work every time.

1. Delete hosts and any renamed old hosts from system/etc. Push the mvps version to system/etc and then update hosts via adfree. (this worked once for me on my s3 but is reported still working on a htc one).

2. Kill wifi and start showbox. Re-enable wifi when showbox has started. (Hosts friendly workaround? Works on s3, untested on others).

I take all credit for finding these.
