If you've tried enabling the web server then I am just out of ideas.

No need to apologize. A monoglot like me would have no right to complain about someone who is communicating in a second language. (If you look up that word you'll see that I'm making fun of myself :))
[Android Apps and Games] tag68:
You are free to try it out. Disable all sources. If it then runs, turn them on again one by one, and test it.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Good idea. Also, for what this is worth: I manually searched the adaway.org source file for anything resembling globosat or telecine and fond no entries with even 3 matching consecutive characters but of course advertisers may try to use a domain that is not so obvious. Also, I found this report at Adaway github from someone else unable to use that app with adaway. https://github.com/Free-Software-for-Android/AdAway/issues/713. Although the DNS logging should have flushed out anything blocking the app your suggestion is a good way to find out for sure.

[EDIT] Just to add, there is not much benefit to using all of those source files or very large source files in general and there is a down side. Even though Adaway uses almost no resources on it's own, a hosts file with many lines will require more resources each time it is scanned. Here is a somewhat outdated comparison of the # of lines added to the hosts file by each hosts source. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63696853&postcount=4594. Be advised though, that theses #'s can change significantly over time (a few months earlier they added up to >300,000 lines). It is generally better to use the smallest file possible source list and add additional items that must be blocked can be added via the blacklist.

It's been a while that when I enable adaway video playback in YouTube, Facebook and even embedded videos on other websites suddenly pause during playback and I have to press play again. Is anyone else having this problem and if yes is there anyway to fix it ? Thanks guys.
[Android Apps and Games] githyanki:
I doubt this has anything to do with AdAway. It doesn't block (Or pause) youtube or Facebook.

I would guess its a buffering issue, as in your internet connection is not fast enough or the connection is poor. Happens to me some if I am too far away from my router.
[Android Apps and Games] fridrik:
I added livepassdl.conviva.com in the white list and now i can see normally the streaming ?

Hello, I've got a problem, adaway makes the app 'fever' don't work, I would want to add to whitelist, so I run the log and then realise that beam.feverup.com appears in the list

I make it whitelist, then apply adaway, reboot, but the app still doesn't working

Indeed the beam.fever.com still appearing in the log if I run it again (deleting before of course)

If rooted by CF-autoroot on a S7 edge, can I simply install v3.1.1 above or do I need to flash the ``Systemless host file´´? Im new to this but from what I understand all roots for MM is systemless?

I am not able to search on homedepot.com and lowes.com with adaway enabled. As soon as i disable adaway I am able to search. Anybody know how to remedy this?
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
You can find the answers you seek by reviewing the OPs of the thread as well as the help screens built into the Adaway app and searching the thread for relevant posts (there are many). A few tips.

- If you are using the Home Depot or Lowes android apps use the "Scan for Adware" feature to see if those apps cannot be blocked by hosts based blocking.

- Use the smallest hosts list you can. Start with the one from Adaway.org which is the smallest.

- With a minimal list in place Use the "Log DNS requests" feature to find out what items are being blocked and add them to the white list.

- If you are accessing the home Depot and Lowes websites in a device browser, explore the webserver option which "tricks" sites into thinking that their advertising is going through.
[Android Apps and Games] @pulkit:
A must have app.

Just one thing, is there any way/xposed module to remove the blank spaces left over, when ads are removed from web pages. ?
[Android Apps and Games] shaqman89:
Enable the web server in adaway. Sometimes it helps.
[Android Apps and Games] FredBloggs13:
I've got ads appearing on Androidcentral.com even with the webserver turned on, can anyone suggest a way round it?
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
First make sure you have downloaded at least one of the "Hosts sources" files files from within the app and then rebooted. I recommend starting with the adaway.org list (becasue it is the smallest, not because it has the same name as the app) .

Also, the webserver allows apps which require a response from device-to-ad server to function with hosts file based based ad-blocking. Instead, try exploring the DNS Request Logging feature which you can use to determine what domains are being requested and then add advertising domains to the black list. You can also use this method to whitelist items that you want to allow.

More information about those and other functions can be found in the very helpful information screens within Adaway by tapping the ? icon on the app's main page. Webserver is described on the FAQ page and DSN request logging is described on the "Problems" page. Of course more advise can be found by searching this thread. Give DNS logging - blacklisting a try.

Is there anyone on the latest N preview and did get AdAway to work?
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
I think someone reported that it worked on one Android preview version but not another. Bummer that we dont have the full name of N yet for searching purposes but a search of the thread for "Android" might find references to it.

You use systemless from last link in thread, i have used twrp for flash it and won't work
[Android Apps and Games] Ja_som:
I can't use TWRP, my device is encrypted...
[Android Apps and Games] Lawn Gnome:
I also had trouble with the systemless zip on NPD35K (preview 3) on an encrypted Nexus 5X. Happily, as long as systemless root is working, you can run a few commands from a root shell to replicate the same setup the zip puts in place:

cp /system/etc/hosts /su/etc/hosts

chmod 644 /su/etc/hosts

echo 'mount -o bind /su/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts;' > /su/su.d/0000adaway.script

chmod 755 /su/su.d/0000adaway.script

/su/su.d/0000adaway.script

From there, run AdAway again, and it should all be fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Ghost9867:

sorry but what is wugfresh ?

And sorry for this but i didn't saw it
[Android Apps and Games] yanleites:

[Android Apps and Games] Ghost9867:
so wait a moment

I have to use the nexus root toolkit to flash the recovery and then flash the file .zip form recovery am i right ?
[Android Apps and Games] corkiejp:
Alternatively use

fastboot boot <name of twrp.img>

[Android Apps and Games] Nekromantik:
Hi all I flashed the system less root prep zip on this thread. It created the hosts file in su etc plus script however when I try enable adaway it says cannot copy hosts file.

Running pure nexus on 6p
[Android Apps and Games] githyanki:
What version of su are you using?

If you did not do anything to su, you are not systemless... Some have issues with the latest su, try 2.71.
[Android Apps and Games] Nekromantik:
Yes I'm on 2.71 Android pay working and super su app confirm system less root.
[Android Apps and Games] Smultie:
This worked for me, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] negativzeroe:
I tried this and it still didn't ?
[Android Apps and Games] Ghost9867:
you flashed this file and then you updated the file with the app ?
[Android Apps and Games] negativzeroe:
I did, I downloaded the newest apk and flashed the file from dropbox. When I launched the app it said update available, but after I hit update it failed.

EDIT now it says enabled after it kept saying fail so I guess it's working.
[Android Apps and Games] Smultie:
I did the following:

Format userdata in fastboot

fastboot flash boot boot.img from http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/4-17-16-t3360574

Install TWRP (which works, cause decrypted after format userdata)

Install SuperSU in TWRP

Reboot to Android

Reboot to recovery

Install .zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=66922784#post66922784

Reboot into Android

Install AdAway .apk from https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway

And then it works.

I know, quite a lot of steps, but that's the only way I was able to get it to work!
[Android Apps and Games] Nekromantik:
Did u verify by opening app with ads?

Mine did same but never removed ads.
[Android Apps and Games] negativzeroe:
Well I went to this thread on the phone and there were no ads so I assume it's working. The main thing with XDA is when I tap a link and then the ad loads and I tap a different link. I've also opened my call recording app and it doesn't show the ads. So basically fail fail fail, think it fails - win.

You are not supplying any information that would allow anyone to help you.

What phone, rom and su are you using?

Any errors when you try and apply ?

Is anything listed in /etc/hosts?

(cat /etc/hosts)

What are you using when you see ads?

Data saver turned off in Chrome.

This does not work on all aps.....if the host ,or the ad is built in.
[Android Apps and Games] snej81:
Just got AdAway running on my S7 edge, rooted by latest version of CF-autoroot and everything else stock. Works fine!

I notice though that ads inside an article on some E-news webpages that I read doesn´t get blocked (not all of them at least). On the main pages all ads are blocked though, I tested with AdAway enabled and disabled to compare.

Great app! And very good translation to Swedish, this is not google translated (like all other apps) it´s for sure ;)

Has anybody successfully installed 3.1.1 on android N preview 3? Right at the start of the install process in f-droid, it crashes. Not that big of deal since I am still rocking AdAway v3.0. Just curious...
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
Quite a few have, but they are using the version in the OP and the systemless file in the OP. I don't think the f-droid version has the changes for systemless, since the original developer has abandoned it and given support to MrRobinson here to continue development on AdAway.
[Android Apps and Games] slayorktc:
Thanks for the quick reply. I will give the OPs version a chance and report back.

[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Try downloading from OP of this thread then installing using package manger invoked by XDA Labs or a file manager.
[Android Apps and Games] rickglyn:
Tried several times those ways , always get "app not installed".
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
As in previous post /\. If you have systemless root you may also need to flash additional file, as described in OP (which is recommended/required reading) and in the thread.

---------- Post added at 07:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

That's odd. All I could say is to try these things:,

- Make sure Settings - Security - Unknown sources is enabled.

- Confirm that you can install can install other apks.

- Try downloading on computer browser, then and copy apk to device in (to different location than the one you are currently using) then install the apk from that different location.

- Log the issue and review or share the log.

[EDIT] I forgot to mention: Make sure you do not have the Fdroid or any version of MiX that is not from this thread or XDA Labs installed on the device, this includes any versions of Adaway that may have been baked into the ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Well IMO avoiding such a thing is a part of general best practices for installing apps on any OS when troubleshooting, and it is implied in the OP as well as explicitly described in the thread numerous times (and there is an expectation that we search).

That being said, it might not be a bad idea to have a line specifically addressing this in the OP. Maybe it will end up there as a result of your suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] kellybrf:
wondering if anyone can help. I've got a Nexus 6p which is stock rooted on n dp3. root was achieved with cf autoroot and everything is working as expected. I tried to flash the systemless adaway zip using flashfire, but after a quick black screen (which flashfire warned of) I went into a bootloop. restarted and everything's OK, but the zip doesn't seem to have installed as adaway can't copy the host files. any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
It's a VERY easy mistake to make, it happened to me too. I'm not sure what best practices you're referring to, but since XDA Labs and F-Droid are both highly reputable sources, users aren't likely to closely inspect package names when moving between the separate Adaway developments.. Most won't be aware that they are separate. It's not like these are some shady cracked .apks that are likely to be laced with Chinese malware. And I don't see how it's implied in the OP either, unless you mean the word UNOFFICIAL

Can't hurt to make it explicitly clear in the OP. Thanks for considering
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Just to be clear it's not as if I am considering it and holding out on you. I am not the Original Poster of this thread and have no control over it (check the names on the posts ;)).

Meanwhile this will have to suffice:

"The best way to get AdAway now and stay updated on latest stable or beta builds is via the XDA Labs app.

::: AdAway on XDA Labs :::

This will have the latest versions just like this OP always will. "

[EDIT] Removed double quote (possibly caused by internet connection issues or XDA site glitch as I've seen that a several times in the past day or two in various people's posts).

Also, as to best practices; clean installation done after removing old version.
[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
Point well taken :svetius:

What I'm suggesting is something in all caps like..

IF YOU'RE COMING FROM AN F-DROID ADAWAY BUILD
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
That's a reasonable way to phrase it (although I'd use sentence-case rather than all caps). Let's see what mrRobinson has to say or if there is some reason why this is not included in the OP. I cant think of a reason but there may be one.
[Android Apps and Games] Ja_som:
Your problem is FlashFire, not AdAway, go to FlahFire thread and read few last pages...
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
You assume that the OP will get read. Look at the majority of posts here and you will see that 99+% don't read it.
[Android Apps and Games] Namoi:
Indeed, but eventually no excuses they will have.
[Android Apps and Games] kellybrf:
thank you, test version got everything working
[Android Apps and Games] rickglyn:
Success! I had the apk in /system/app, moved it to /data/app and installed from there with Root Explorer no problem. Thanks for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
OK then.. Let's just do away with an OP. Don't need it
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
I keep all manually install-able apks in a directory on external SD completely apart from any system directories to avoid issues like that. Glad you got it working.
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
I'm not saying that. Many of us keep going back to it to clarify things. However, experience shows that even though users agree to a bunch of XDA rules when they sign up, including "read the OP", in fact, they do not. It is still useful, even though users get upset when you tell them to go read the OP. :p
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
OT begins

Reading the OPs is just so easy to do there is no excuse. Searching may be a bit more difficult but is still expected, in fact both are clearly stated rules. There is some expectation that this would be self managed in the threads and with that in mind: referring people to the OPs and suggesting searching without completely spoonfeeding the answers but while still providing some guidance serves to not enable that behavior while ushering people to their answers.

OT ends

I didn't think cf did system root? I used the latest version from the angler link on the autoroot page to root. in the flashfire thread there's a test version up compatible with dp3, it's on the last page or two from chainfire. that allowed me to flash the systemless zip from the op here, then I just installed the latest apk and it worked
