Remove the proxy settings in your APN.
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
Your 3G connections probably go through a proxy, bypassing local DNS. Try disabling any proxy listed in your APN. You may need to reboot to flush any ads still left in your cache.

Hello,

I hope I'm not going to do a noob question about.

I have removed my proxy settings and 3G is still working. Ok by now.

But my provider says we (their customers) shall setup proxy for data connections. It's explained on their web under proper connection settings with a warning: your can have extra charges if you don't setup your data connection as we explain.

But there is also another problem I found long ago with the operator setup and suggestions. When you are playing with some app having ads embedded, some of them, when displayed, promotes to download and setup apps with "android optimizers" or to install some weird games or to check "hot chicks" pictures.

In short, to install crapware or spyware .

This apps, photos, or whatever are not android account related. I have spent long time to study this using different accounts or phones and also people. You can find this ads on any male or female phone having the same provider. But it would be hard this ads can achieve google ad-words policy.

Could be possible this ads are coming form the Provider itself?

Or

Could be possible the provider is renting the ads spaces to third companies?

Because by setting up the proxy and forcing you to go by there, they can do that, and even manage very aspect of your data connection.

When the app is asking to connect to some IP in order to display the ads, the provider is on the middle, and is the IP sending the ads.

AdAway does not detect root properly

I have a galaxy S5 (T-mobile version). I rooted it and installed Adaway, which were fine for a few months. Then one day, when I tapped the app and tried to update the host patch, it reported this error: "Rooted Android required. Either the su binary could not be found or you did not allow root permission for AdAway". I am using SuperSU, which I can verify work for many other apps that requires root access, like Titanium Backup, Xposed, etc. I have tried uninstall and reinstall Adaway in several newer versions 2.9.2, 2.9.1, and uninstall and reinstall SuperSU. None of these works for me. My phone's is on 4.4.2, T-mobile NK2. Anybody has a clue how to solve my issue?

Update: I manually patched the hosts file as a workaround. Clearly I have the root access. However, I still prefer the simplicity of AdAway. The question is why AdAway does not recognize root on my phone?

Just installed 18/02 build (Dev Build: AdAway-release_Build-Feb.18.2015.apk) and it doesn't block YouTube ads, how can I block them?
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
I'm guessing you mean the ads displayed by the YouTube app as opposed to any ads that may appear on the YouTube.com web site. AdAway can "only" deal with ads displayed via the DNS/hosts process, not the ones embedded or accessed directly within an app. The Xposed module

YouTube AdAway

does a good job of blocking ads from that %$#@ YouTube app, but accessing YouTube from a browser or a third-party app also works nicely. ;)

[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
There aren't any additions on GitHub since Dec. 22, so shouldn't the Dec. 30 and Feb. 18 builds be identical?
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
Correct, but you hadn't mentioned which OS you were using. Personally I gave up on the "official" YouTube app a long time ago and much prefer using my browser (Chrome or Firefox). AFAIK, AdAway works fine under most 5.x ROMs and should take care of those annoying YouTube ads.
[Android Apps and Games] LironImaN:

I like the YouTube app, its more comfortable and accessible.

Every time I try to enable Tcpdumb and play the game to get ad-lists, I go back to AdAway and the record file is empty.

How do I do? I am sick of disabling AdAway or Internet connection each time I play the game...

Edit

Believe it or not, I tried to deploy Tcpdump again and the record file had three ad-lists in it!

The thing is: after adding the ad-lists to white-lists, the game won't start. Same as before! :(
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
How do I white list apps? I don't rly understand lol. Like tapatalk for example.
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
AdAway doesn't know or care about apps. The "only" thing it can do is effectively block data (ads) from specific servers. When a browser or app tries to display, for example, "evilsite.com/nastyad.jpg", AdAway has the ability to block that call and prevent that "nastyad.jpg" from displaying. The hosts lists that AdAway uses are simply lists of sites from which ads are generally pulled. The black list adds sites not already in the main lists. The white list overrides the other lists for those locations that you want to see even though they are blacklisted in the main lists.

If an app calls an ad with a full name, such as "http://evilsite.com/nastyad.jpg", AdAway can do its job, but if the app directly uses the host's numeric IP ("http://111.222.333.444/nastyad.jpg"), Then AdAway is completely out of the loop and can't help at all. Many apps use a combination of both name URLs and numeric IP URLs. Furthermore, some app (games in particular), expect specific contents when they call a URL and if AdAway blocks that content, they may show an error or even refuse to run.

At best, AdAway (even with basic default settings) can remove the majority of the ads you're likely to encounter but it can't get rid of them all. I suggest you review the many posts in this thread that explain how to customize AdAway for many common situations, including some of my posts here and there. The most important step it to understand what AdAway can and cannot do.

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

I know nothing about games but a quick Google search suggests that Crossy Roads

REQUIRES

access to its Ad networks (as do many similar games). From their support site:

For now, the only way around this would probably be to rewrite or "hack" the game, an endeavor unrelated to AdAway (or XDA in general), sorry... ;)

[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
We (the XDA community) can try our best to help you, but you should always first try to help yourself. For example, I don't use Tapatalk but I

simply searched this thread

for "Tapatalk" and discovered countless posts dealing with that very issue. If Tapatalk doesn't allow searching a thread, consider accessing XDA with a browser the old-fashioned way to see if others have already addressed your concern. Apparently, whitelisting "*.viglink.com" is a popular solution but I suggest you try it and see for yourself... ;)

DON'T whitelist viglink. Lordy, there's good reason it is blocked. It is nothing less than a spyware redirect by Tapatalk to cyber-stalk and datamine all your activities and sell them to anyone wanting your data. The Privacy Policy in Tapatalk tells as much.

Does Adaway's blanket blocking of ad related domains also block the creation of tracking cookies from those sites?
[Android Apps and Games] LironImaN:
Oh, this is why Crossy roads has stopped working for me.

What should I Whitelist to make it work again? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
AdAway doesn't deal with cookies at all. All it does is redirect the hosts you specify to a "do nothing" address. See

this post

and others in this thread for a detailed explanation of what it does and doesn't do. Think of AdAway as a quick method for editing the global

hosts file

used for DNS resolutions on your device. Cookies are unrelated browser-specific critters.

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

I have no clue since I've never seen that game, but according to their support site quoted earlier, it seems that you'd have to whitelist all URLS accessed by the game, whatever those are. If I were to write a similar game and wanted to force my users to view ads, I'd probably try to detect the mere

presence

of an adblocker and refuse to run if I saw one. If the Crossy Road devs did that, you'd have to disable the adblocker altogether to play the game. You could also look for another game... ;)

[Android Apps and Games] Skripka:
Means either

a) AdAway didn't successfully modify the hosts hile...open it up and see what if anything is in there.

2) You have apps that are bypassing the hosts file in their website calls

III) Your network settings are bypassing your hosts file.

AdAway works fine on Lollipop here. People with issues of ads not being blocked (at all) have issues entirely on their end, in all likelihood.

Hey thanks for sharing this. I am overly excited as I use hostsman on PC and make my own lists for this app and could not replace with another as adaway is automatically able to use my hosts file without conversion. Damn you google, they did not violate any terms, it was by the choice of the users own free will to block adsense and admob. You targeted a defenseless app for being able to block hosts like known spyware and malware hosts that no one can take down due to legalities, thanks google again and +1 to you for screwing up once again and doing the wrong thing yet again!
