Guys, I just installed Adaway on my Oneplus 2 with the ROM Resurrection Remix 5.8.0 Nougat and when it booted back it keeps showing a black screen with only the status bar and nothing else. Even booting on dsfe mode doesn't do a thing. How is that? I can't even access Settings.
[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
Can you test something?

Download another browser (Lightning or Tint):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=acr.browser.barebones&hl=en

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tint&hl=en

Both are light, quick to install and just as quick to uninstall.

See if you get the ads either of those as well. If you get ads with either, then it's not a Chrome issue.

You installed AdAway, entered the app, and selected "Download Files and Apply Ad Blocking"? Did it install OK?

Did you reboot the phone?

Why are you running King Root? I'd recommend SuperSU or PHH.
[Android Apps and Games] ΦDroid:
Same ROM and device here, I stalled yesterday with no problems.

It's and excellent ROM though isn't it?
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
I rooted my phone using kingroot because it was easy to do. And really me to don't like kingroot but I'm afraid to replace it with super su .
[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
I'm not a fan of SuperSU, but I'd probably use that over KingRoot; both appear to be closed source solutions. Or be prepared to give developers logs and info to allow them to use KingRoot with their apps.
[Android Apps and Games] basily:
HI, I get the "Rooted Android Required" error when I start Adaway. When I try to set "Enable systemless mode" in the preferences, I can't because it's greyed out.

I have the latest Adaway installed from the thread (Adaway-release_Build-Nov.19.2016.apk)

[Android Apps and Games] J_E_F_F:
I just had the exact same problem on a OnePlus One today. I blamed it on Nova Launcher, (no proof, just felt it was the problem) I could use "OK Google" but doing anything on the desktop or in settings, was a black screen. I tried reinstalling the latest CM nightly, and even reverting a few, nothing helped. I wiped system, nadda. Had to wipe data (all but internal storage) and reinstall everything from scratch.

I doubt adaway was the culprit here, I'm not sure what it was, but I still lean towards nova launcher. Do you use Nova launcher too?
[Android Apps and Games] kevinyohh:
Yes, I use Nova Launcher. I don't use that command tho. What a weird issue. Are you on Nova launcher beta program? Do you have "persistent mode" enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] J_E_F_F:
I am not using the beta program, and do not use the persistent mode either. Yeah, it is/was a very strange problem. Kinda glad I'm not the only one who experienced it, misery loves company lol

Mine also happened after a reboot. I noticed I wan't getting sound from a particular app (IP Cam), rebooted, then black screen except for the status bar, and could get some places from "OK Google"
[Android Apps and Games] kevinyohh:
I meant the "persistent mode" in advanced Nova Launcher settings. I had it enabled when it happened. I'll disable it as soon as I install Nova. I'm reflashing.
[Android Apps and Games] J_E_F_F:
I do not use that mode either
[Android Apps and Games] NLBeev:
Nexus 6, stock. After auto-update of the Nova launcher, the N6 rebooted, when I tried to unlock.

After 2 reboots all seems normal.

using the latest AdAway and SuperSU, do I just enable the systemless option in AdAway and that's it for systemless operation? if /etc/hosts grows in size, then it's a good indicator it worked?
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
Yes. After applying updates hosts should show as being 3+ MB in size.
[Android Apps and Games] dimm0k:

[Android Apps and Games] mmij2mw63z:
In which file can I find my own white and black lists?

I crashed my phone (touch screen is not working anymore...). I can access it via adb twrp. So I can access all files, but I am wondering which files I need to copy to have my own black and white lists on my new device?
[Android Apps and Games] flocke000:
Copy /data/data/org.adaway/databases/adaway.db to your PC using adb and open it with a SQLite Viewer. I used the following online app: http://inloop.github.io/sqlite-viewer/
[Android Apps and Games] NLBeev:
...And look in the play store: SQLite viewer and - editor.
[Android Apps and Games] flocke000:

[Android Apps and Games] shaqman89:
If you don't mind the extra work, just install adaway and download host file, after that uninstall adaway. As long as the host files isnt modified by any other app, ad blocking should still work.

Whenever you need to update the hosts file again (which isn't often in my experience, even once a month is too much for me), then install adaway again.

When updating is done, you could then remove adaway again.
[Android Apps and Games] hungtv2002:
as you say, then i uninstall Adaway the host files not be deleted and it still work.

I just uninstall Adaway a normal way.
[Android Apps and Games] NLBeev:
Latest update on Nexus 6. Size of the hosts file: 1,73Mb
[Android Apps and Games] Biobak:
Why does this pop-up appear? The file is rw- rw-, root access is granted, AdAway can access storage....
[Android Apps and Games] tag68:
Do you see somewhere which file is meant? Looks like some list which shall be used to generate a hosts file. Which list is it?

For me this looks looks a pop-up where it is important to implement the display of the file and directory which could not be read. Otherwise users won't be able to help themselves.

(Insert some Rant about the wonderful detailed Java stack traces where you can see which error occurred in which line in which subroutine which was called by some module etc. 30 levels more but the file and contents which causes the error, the parameter which were given to the routine, never get displayed)
[Android Apps and Games] Biobak:
No, there is no mention of the file that has been downloaded. I just clicked ''apply ad blocking'', it worked fine when I flashed my ROM but AdAway seems to have disabled itself and now I can't re-enable it. Of course there's nothing to help in 'help'.
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
Is your system partition full? Is your root systemless?

YouTube does not use specific servers for ads, so adblocking with adaway is not possible, unless you are willing to block videos as well.

[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70266563&postcount=7925
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
When I "export all lists" the file is saved to the root of internal SD at /storage/emulated/0/ (in CM12.1/Lollipop 5.1.1). One note about this: A glitch in CM and some other ROMS prevents the native Android file manager and CM file manager from accessing the file from that location (and possibly other locations) so I invoke a different file manager (MiXplorer or Total Commander) to access it for import.

.. or am I misssing some distinction between "backup file of blacklisted and whitelisted hosts" and what is created when "exporting all lists"?
[Android Apps and Games] flocke000:
I just tried it and had the same problem finding the backup created by AdAway.

The reason is that it does not have Storage permissions and does not ask for them by itself.

Go to Settings->Apps and enable Storage permissions for AdAway manually then it will be able to write the backup to the sdcard folder.
[Android Apps and Games] tag68:
Imho the main error is the message "settings were saved as adaway-export on your sd card" without checking for errors and without telling which exact path it wanted to write. Of course it also needs the permission. This error would have been spotted much earlier with error checking and exact messages.

The possible confusion was maximized this way ;)
[Android Apps and Games] flocke000:
Yes the messages are very confusing, they should probably be improved (mainly the "saved" message even if it wasn't).

And on newer Android versions that support it, it should ask for the Storage permission when exporting for the first time.
[Android Apps and Games] NLBeev:
We have time zones; but in the Netherlands it's the last day of the year.

Is there any way to block Waze ads in Adaway?
[Android Apps and Games] pkelly517:
None that I know of.

Remember, Waze is Google. El Goog is not fond of ad blocking.

Did you try using the webserver path?
[Android Apps and Games] MicroMod777:
Thanks, finally no more Tapatalk ads. Was driving me crazy! lol
[Android Apps and Games] ChazzMatt:
Curious why something that obvious isn't already being blocked by at least one of the four default (daily updated) Adaway host files?

I assume that also blocks Facebook ads?
[Android Apps and Games] shaqman89:
Thing is, there are some legit use case from that URL (not just ads).
[Android Apps and Games] magarto:

AdAway can't block YouTube ads. However today I did run across a Firefox add-on that says it blocks YouTube ads. Haven't tried it. It's called "Adblocker for YouTube". Of course you would have to run Firefox to use it.
[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
You can give this list a try. (I admit I downloaded it for reference.)

You are right, this is the best solution and the first thing to do is to buy it if they decide to reduce the price. Until then, going back to an older version seems to be the first best option for me.

Don't buy Tapatalk. Every year or so, they downgrade the 'pro' version in to the free one and release a new (paid) pro version.

They have done this three times that I know of, and I stopped looking 2 years ago.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Don't support developers who use adware as a business model. Adware consumes resources, it's a proven malware vector, and subjects users to data mining. Stay away.

Buy decent software. Donate to cleaner, open source alternatives. Use web sites instead of applications ( you control filtering in the browser, instead of an application controlling your use... ) whenever possible.

If you are using Tapatalk just for XDA then I suggest you try XDA Labs. I used to browse XDA with Tapatalk pro but this little gem is just way better.

If you are a light FB user I would recommend Swipe (I use Swipe Pro). Pro removes ads itself but I believe the free version works with AdAway.

[Android Apps and Games] tag68:
Guess you have some hardware issue. Your keyboard also isn't working correctly. There are several letters missing in your text, and also any information which could enable someone to help you.
[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
AdAway cannot block ads in some Android applications (like YouTube) that internally bypass the hosts file.

The reason you're seeing ads with these applications is that:

1. They've changed ad servers, requiring you to Log the DNS requests (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69905444&postcount=7652)

2. The app is now bypassing the hosts file for ads, which is a situation that AdAway can't currently rectify.
[Android Apps and Games] pkelly517:
Vowels are needed for the app to work, as it starts with an 'A'.
[Android Apps and Games] githyanki:
I always just assume that English is not the person's native language and that they are trying their best to communicate. Making fun of them is extremely low class and also against XDA rules.
[Android Apps and Games] PerfectSlayer:
Hi all,

I haven't post so much update the last weeks about the phh's SuperUser support (in short, I try to add systemless mode support for SuperUser as I did for SuperSU).

After fixing documentation about bind commands then finding and fixing an issue in su binary, I requested some help on the dev thread in order to get phh's SuperUser mount working and I got no response. So my motivation went away… :(

But vacations passed and I give it another try. And guess what? I just find and fix another bug in su binary, so su --bind now works for me! :fingers-crossed:

(I wonder if others devs really use it? I mean, that's two majors bugs for this feature...)

So now, I should be able to code and update AdAway itself to support in. Keep hope and I will keep you updated.

EDIT: I wrote a more detailed post about the bug in the phh's dev thread.
[Android Apps and Games] ChazzMatt:
He doesn't have a problem with English. He's trying to text instead of actually writing.

Every interface has spell check nowadays. Some people just like to leave out letters, to pretend they're texting. It's too random to be just problems with English. Nt instead of "Not". Nw instead of "now" . Bt instead of "but". Y instead of "why" -- and I just had to force Swype to accept those instead of real words.
[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
Thank you for finding the bugs.

Perhaps PHH is on vacation. From early December to date, many threads (and developers) have been rather inactive. Can you post a link to your updated su? I'll even post a new, temporary install zip, if you're in the mood. Is it 32 bit or 64?
[Android Apps and Games] githyanki:
It also will accept strange spellings if your default language is set to something other than English. Not saying your wrong, but that unless I know the person should know English well enough to be conversant, I give them the benefit of the doubt.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Precisely because people from many countries come to read and post, English should be properly written, to the best of one's ability. It is not the first time nor will it be the last that texting slang shows up and it causes confusion. It can be irritating and also make the meaning of a post extremely hard to understand at times.

There's no excuse for sloppy manners. And that way of writing has no relation to level of English, it's just lazy and rude.
[Android Apps and Games] pkelly517:
I agree.

Poor grammar is easy to overlook on XDA, as it is an international site. It's actually expected in a certain percentage of posts.

Making no effort to try and express your issue clearly to others is just lazy. If you can't make the small effort to describe your problem correctly to the best of your abilities, why should anyone make the effort to help you?
[Android Apps and Games] Gokulb1:
aha..that.. its a keyboard problem bro.. im feeling so hard to type with some keyboard which i keep on changing.. i accidently push wrong button thats it..so sometimes i use shortcuts too...sorry for such kind of mistake
[Android Apps and Games] tag68:
My guess is that you were wrong. Whatever happened some weeks ago, the description was not that it does not work anymore for one application. It was said it does not work for several applications (two were mentioned but "etc" added) where it worked before. It was not said that there still are applications where ads get blocked. The applications mentioned are not known for circumventing dns, at least I can't remember anyone asking here. But we will see.

For analysis there is more information needed. Your question for logging still may lead to the right insights. You are right that a friendlier answer is appropriate.

Btw: The information having issue with the keyboard imho should have been mentioned in the post. This would have prevented misunderstanding.
[Android Apps and Games] magarto:
Thanks. I would prefer using Facebook Lite.
