My assumption that you are not sure how the HTC device behaves exactly is because you did not mention special knowledge on your side like "HTC devices often have no space on system", but just wrote "it is possible that system is full, try to delete something". For me this sounds dangerous, I wouldn't recommend such things without knowing the assumed error situation is given. Especially after the hint with not having S-OFF was given which may cause system not being writable. This is mentioned in the wiki, which is linked in the OP. Even if you know that the system partition usually is full on this exactly device, it does not harm to have a look that you are right before deleting things!

If akuma-88 already knows how to look up free space, the explanation still does not harm and may be interesting for some reader. You think I shouldn't have explained how to show information about state of /system?
[Android Apps and Games] NLBeev:
No. I think your response is quite correct. And very instructive. But you mentioned my assumptions. And that's another thing.

I assume that people working with 'root' 'hosts' etc. also know about the system partition.

I read this thread from time to time including your posts. I appreciate that and also many others. But that's an assumption [emoji1]

[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
it's been two years since it was last updated too, it seems, added that myself anyway, but host file didn't grow, so entries should be incorporated in others

edit: sorry my bad, forgot to add hosts.txt in the end, this one adds 260kb

this one grows host file by only 30kb, so there shouldn't be much difference than the default hosts

Does anyone know the hosts to block ads in ShowBox app?
[Android Apps and Games] ChazzMatt:
That's already one of my default hosts file that came with Adaway.

Mine is still these four default hosts that came with Adaway. I have not added anything.

I see mentions to "three default host files" but my phones and my wife's phones has always had FOUR, for years now...

I even recently uninstalled and re-installed XDA Adaway to solve an issue with the webserver not remaining running -- and the four hosts files are still there.

Even when changing devices, I restore previous data from Titanium Backup -- so if new "default" is three, it didn't affect me apparently. ;) I still have four.

Systemless only works if you're in systemless root, correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: maybe try using one of the other hosts file locations?
[Android Apps and Games] githyanki:
Your keeping the original 4 by restoring from TiBu. If you cleared data you would be down to 3.

[Android Apps and Games] deedaleet:
I have a strange problem I can't see anyone talking about. I have a 3T with OOS 4.0.1 using TWRP and rooted with the latest chainfireSU. No version of adaway from any source will even start on my phone. Just a gray screen with the red bar on top forever.

I can't troubleshoot anything because apparently I'm the only person with the problem, and I have no idea where to start. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: apparently it will indeed start, but it takes about five minutes in the background, and then it just says I'm not rooted. If I try to switch to it earlier it just hangs on a black screen.

EDIT 2: well it turns out that I have to go into the superSU app and manually give permission, which as a noob I didn't know I could do. Not sure if this is a superSU issue or an adaway issue that caused no request at startup.
[Android Apps and Games] LazerL0rd:
Sometimes SuperSU fails to initialize the prompt. Then, this app will try and fail. Since you're on Nougat that may be why. Try SuperSU SR3 maybe, it's got speed and reliability improvements for the Nougat android platform :)! (Beware since it's a beta though)

1. Its purpose is to give wrong address for ad servers, same as AdAway. Other request just get directed though it.

2 If you don't trust that it does other things than it should, analyze the source and compile it yourself

[MENTION=3355398]mrRobinson[/MENTION] [MENTION=2822685]PerfectSlayer[/MENTION] Please tell me how to make AdAway work with phh's SuperUser. :'(
[Android Apps and Games] flocke000:
Do you use system phh or Magisk?

For Magisk: Magisk Manager -> Settings -> Enable systemless hosts

[MENTION=3355398]mrRobinson[/MENTION] Could you add that information to the systemless section in the first Post?
[Android Apps and Games] PerfectSlayer:
Hi [MENTION=6453577]theincognito[/MENTION]

As far as I know, phh's SuperUser works out of box with AdAway. It's not (automatically) systemless: you add to configure mount file manually but otherwise, it works fine. As [MENTION=5837930]flocke000[/MENTION] said you, Magisk could handle this configuration for you.

For those waiting AdAway and systemless mode support for phh's SuperUser, I have refactored the application to:

Add detection of the two root implementations,

Add implementation of phh's SuperUser systemless mode installation/un-installation,

Improve detection of systemless mode activation for the two root implementations.

I also prepared two roms (one for each root root implementation) on my nexus 4 to test this development but I made a break because there is some health issues in my family (I'm currently taking some days off to be with them). I'll keep you updated as soon as I have a tested release but in short, the dev is done :highfive:

Here is one of my previous post about bind procedure for phh's SuperUser. So you could apply it or install Magisk.

Heartfelt thanks. I'll try to keep on topic.
[Android Apps and Games] theincognito:
I apologize for my ignorance. I saw the commands and I saw that you mentioned "Keep in mind they only work with my patches".

So, should I flash that zip called "superuser-fix-bind" and then do those commands?

It worked with the superuser.zip from the buildbot site. Btw, I notice something weird. Now,only for AdAway, whenever I open it, I get the "Allow root access" prompt from Privacy Guard, not from the Superuser app. Its only for AdAway though. Is that normal after this procedure?

[Android Apps and Games] crimsoncustom:
Hello,

I have already used AdAway for a few months, and generally happy with the amount of ads it's blocked. However, in my most-used apps (News+ and [MENTION=564339]voice[/MENTION]), I still see ads. This weekend, I try to check which apps in my phone still have ads, and try to add a few more hosts to check, apparently even after I activated 3 default hosts, the MoaAB host, and the other AdAway host sources, ads still appear in these apps:

News+

BootAnimation
[MENTION=564339]voice[/MENTION] (Voice Aloud Reader)

P Tracker

OperaMini (Older version 7.7.40394, as I like its simplicity)

BusyBox

RomToolboxLite

I used to use OperaMax, so I thought that it's because of that, but even after turning it off, ads're there still. I don't know about the older apps and the Root apps, but it'll be nice to have no ads in News+ and [MENTION=564339]voice[/MENTION].

Anyone has similar experience?

I haven't changed anything from the default other than the host list if that'll help.

[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
If the DNS Logging function of AdAway isn't catching the ads, then the ads are probably getting pulled directly into the app, and bypassing the hosts file. If that's the case, there's nothing that AdAway can do.

You can either pay the app developer to make the ads go away, or find ad-free alternatives. Here are some ad-free, open source suggestions:

Flym is an outstanding RSS feed reader (to replace News+) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.fred.feedex&hl=en

Lightning Browser is a nice browser that's light and simple (to replaceOperaMini) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=acr.browser.barebones&hl=en

I don't know why you're seeing ads on BusyBox; have you looked at [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION]'s version? - https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40409356&postcount=1

Periodical (to replace P Tracker?) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.arnowelzel.android.periodical&hl=en
[Android Apps and Games] crimsoncustom:
Okay, as I hadn't tried this yet, I tried to log the DNS and blacklist logged sites (googleads.g.doubleclick.net, pagead2.googleadservices.com ,pagead2.googlesyndication.com, etc.). I ended up with No Ads in all of the listed apps. I guess this was the solution then, thank you.

I have also checked the apps you suggested. I have my reasons to choose the apps I have now, but Periodical seems more my style, I'll try and shift P Tracker out if that's the case.

Thank you again.

Hi, is it possible to put in whitelist google apps as music or youtube? Because, with Adaway activated, i have a big battery drain from these apps...
[Android Apps and Games] githyanki:
Log the DNS requests and add anything to the whitelist.

There's no way to add specific apps to allow to this app since it only modifies the host file and nothing else (unless you enable web server or DNS log.) IE: nothing for individual apps.

One feature I would really like is to label hosts on the log file to indicate if they were blocked or allowed.

Speaking of web server, mine has stopped running. When I enable it manually if I go to another app and come back, it's stopped running.

Even if I start the webserver and then go into the app preferences, and come back out, the webserver is not running.

I fixed this issue one time before by uninstalling and reinstalling. This time that didn't work. Anyone got any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] githyanki:
As far as I know, the web server gives a reply to requests that are on the block list so that the web site does not have to wait for the requests to timeout.
[Android Apps and Games] gregfrankenstein:
