[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bombadier:
Don't know what you mean, there is one version in the op and it works on all android versions, it should be clear when it was updated

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] niko1plus:
Are you able to successfully flash it with android n rom you might need to unzip this host file and manually replace your original. Maybe google hid it in n.

Good JoAB on the MoaAB Jake, just updated my hosts file to yours, freaking sweet :thumbup:

Your dedication and time invested in MoaAB very much appreciated, ty.

I'm using the http://adblock.mahakala.is/ link in my AdAway software to block ads and it applies fine, but this list doesn't block YouTube ads for me on official YouTube app.

Any ideas for a fix?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ashwin.kj:
I don't think the host method will be able to block ads in the YouTube app. There is an xposed module that does that. (think it is called YouTube AdAway)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pleasetouchmenot:
There's another youtube adblocker you must use. It's called youtube adaway. It's an xposed module. Youtube is so pro-guarded so it's so hard to block ads on that app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jkxs:
Can anyone help instruct me on how to install MoaAB for my new Verizon Note 7? I saw some people mention AdAway and Adblock in the thread, but there are a few apps in the play store that are similarly named. On my note 3, I would have just got into recovery and installed via zip, but I'm not sure if the same thing can/should be done with the note 7.

Thank you!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bombadier:
Adaway/adblock are different, if you can flash zips in recovery on your note 7 then same procedure as before, moab is a modified hosts file, don't use either of these apps with moab or your host file will be overwritten, if flashing in recovery does not work then extract the hosts file from the zip and copy to system/etc(you will need to be rooted to do this) and reboot, you should see a lot less ads, report any sites you use that get accidentally blocked to help refine moab
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iPAQ 6515a User:
The hosts will be overwritten but the old content will stay, only new lines will be added.

It is safe to use it with adaway

I would like someone to clear up a few things for me. I used this mod on my gs5 and was great, I didn't copy and paste any files thow. Now I have a verizon gs7 edge rooted, so I need to flash this mod. I do have adaway installed and running. After flashing this mod, what do I need to setup/copy paste or whatever for this to work great? Also is this mod working on the 6.0.1?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ashwin.kj:
You don't have to do anything after flashing the zip for it to work. But I am not sure about using it through AdAway. Somebody else can probably help you there. It does work with 6.0.1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Robert342:
To developer - can you add your list to choose in AdAway?

Thanks. Nice file. I'm still getting ads in beach buggy. I'll report back and see if there are any others. The slacker banner ads are gone and I also didn't get an audio ad my entire way way to work(15 mins) I'll usually get 2 or 3.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ghbuur:
it has a link on the first post for adblock apps like adaway. just add that link to host sources and activate it. in my case i had to deactivate the other 4 to get the host file loaded..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pz1982:
Does this also block Youtube adverts?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ashwin.kj:
Not the video ads inside the app. You can install an xposed module YouTube AdAway to get rid of them.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pz1982:
Thx for info
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vijayroyt:
I think it works! The only issue with using the host files link is that it also blocks some websites.

I think adding it as a source in adaway is the easiest option :)

And disable it, if you find any websites not working!

Hope this helps.

Are you able to disclose what the five sources are? I'm just wanting to remove duplicate sources from AdAway and it would be helpful to know.

thanks for this great work.

Did you know why i have always ads on textra app ? and cpasbien.cm website ?

Thanks for your advice
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Predatorhaze:
bruh this software works for blocking ads for sure,but battery drain is a fact
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Blueblob:
Are you on Android 6+ ? So you need to change permissions to stop battery drain : rw-r-r to rw-r--

yes i am.and what file i need to change?the zip file?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Blueblob:
If you ask this kind questions, I'm not sure it's a good idea to flash stuff.

Change permissions on this file after flash : /etc/host

Good luck and try the search button next time

man it's possible to change the permission from the twrp?

at the moment i'm in vacation with the phone unrooted cause pokemon go update and can't do anything else :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Blueblob:
I don't know if you are unrooted if the command will work in TWRP

But try this : Advanced/Open terminal

chmod 640 /etc/host

Maybe you need to type su before or in the command line :

su chmod 640 /etc/host

just forgotten to mount the system partition from the twrp recovery :P

btw 755 work the same or have to set 640? because twrp have a voice "chmod 755"

anyway i'm enjoing it thanks ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xSilas43:
in the center twrp should have the option for 644
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kingmikel:
Hey man how did you get it to work? I've flashed via TWRP and it won't work for me
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OmegaBlaze:
For me, it was the root method I was using. I switched something and it works fine now.

Hi, it's not tested by me fully but initial tests and user tests shows that it works. SEARCH this thread for possible checks and actions. Cheers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Blueblob:
No it's not the same ! Clearly not. AOSP permission : 644 (search chmod value)

640 remove access to "global" user and I don't know why but stops memory leaks and so battery drain

It's a trick on Android 6+

You tried sarcasm. It ended up badly. LEL.

Gonna try this one tho... Cheers!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BossMichael:
Nope none of the Sarcasm version worked for me. It was just a silly waste
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rhyzan:
Errrr... Ok then. Weird that you have problems with moab relating to Google play services or the Play Store (?) and instead of providing logs, steps on how did you do flash it and whatnot, you took the **** talking the dev and his work route and saying things "It doesn't work" and "a silly waste".

For the record, I am quite sure that it wasn't moab that is the problem. You definitely did something else. Prove me wrong.

But yep. It doesn't work right? Not trying this again? Move along then.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BossMichael:
Did i do anything except moab. Umm No. And I tried fix too tho. But didnt work as supposed to work. I dont know about what i did to screw it. And yes i know hosts shouldnt affect the Gapps, maybe it was TWRP or something else. Does it simply replaces hosts file or does something else to block hosts?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paradoxiumwind:
Hey guys,

So recently Pokemon Go won't work with rooted devices, so I switched from SuperSU Pro to phh's SuperUser 17 (Magisk Version) and used Magisk to unroot to play, work fine etc, but I'd rather use SuperSU, is there any way to keep using it and have PGO not detect it with the recent release?

thanks in advance,
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JumboMan:
it only replaces host file in /system/etc/ folder and applies proper permissions (0644)

By the way you can check updater script in zip file
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BossMichael:
I tried both (640) and (644) but after flashing none would work for me. So i thought maybe it does something with some system files too. Thanks for getting back to me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rickgillyon:
Also s3.amazonaws.com and www.s3.amazonaws.com are used for content delivery, I don't think they should be blacklisted either... Thanks!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] underskyzx:
Guys you dont need to flash every update, just copy/replace hosts file from zip to system/etc
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] penser:
That's exactly what flashing does, and, to be honest, is much quicker if you don't want to bother with permissions.

Bcause sometimes the ads show up sometimes dont...

Yeah some devs have putted a check if you are using an adblock so they putted that ads that are part of the code so you have to mod apk for remove them!

Hi BSDgeek_Jake,

I am getting ads in the site moviesmobile.net from where i downloads movies and because of the ads i got charged Rs 60 as there are contents of the Tata Docomo which gets clicked accidentally while surfing the site and there are charges for the click i mean the ad is like click to get some photos or some stuff and there is a note that charges apply on click and as its a touch screen so accidentally it gets clicked so is there anything you can do for it please.

Thanks for this great file which makes the ad enabled apps usage easier by disabling the ads.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JumboMan:
hosts file not working ? check below points -

0. check for size of hosts file to confirm that its flashed successfully

1. re-check for proper permissions (0644). By the way 0640 also works without any problem

2. check your APN - hosts file works only when APN doesn't contain proxy address and port . that means you must have to create APN without proxy address and port.

3. Disable compression - if you are using browser with compression /data saver enabled then hosts file will not work.

4. are you using Firefox - I heard Firefox browser don't read hosts file. use another browser.

5. are you using vpn - these routes network traffic through there servers so they may be neglecting hosts file

6. force stop app and also clear its cache for proper working of host file

7. if you are manually moving host file into /etc folder then please reboot your device
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BossMichael:
0) hosts file size is 3mb+ and i guess thats successful

1) permissions are fine i guess

2) I use wifi(with opendns)

3,4) i dont use firefox. I dont use compression browser(i use uc browser sometime. Its own ad blocking is great)

5) not using vpn

6) not my problem

7) No I didn't do it manually
