Using Stock Android and only flashed custom recovery + root + franco kernel. Now even on 4.2.2 it didn't work with AdAway2.8.

2.5 works! Do you know why?

Edit: On 4.4.0 it worked fine for me but as it seemd not for everyone. The dev alrdy knows about the issue:

https://github.com/dschuermann/ad-away/issues/476
[Android Apps and Games] manpildo:

[Android Apps and Games] Lock-N-Load:
So here is a thought.

I wonder if it would be possible to do redirects so that ads that are blocked do not show ugly 404 error boxes or empty white boxes for blocked ads one could make a matching color gif and have that pulled in and fill up the ad space.

If one could "redirect" an ad url why couldn't one redirect said ad url to point to a gif on a server to be loaded instead/

I love this app and used it on all my devices before Googler blacklisted them. But I always hate seeing the empty boxes that show up in some apps if the ad is blocked - I hate ads worse of course - so wonder if my idea could be made to work. It doesn't seem so in the current setup as redirect only seems to redirect to an IP.

Can't install over old 3.2 version...
[Android Apps and Games] Ja_som:
Then you probably got it from other source, no issue here.

So uninstall 3.2 and install 3.3, or you can stay on 3.2 if you have no issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Roger.T:
Why do not you take this version?

Is the newest and this you can install over 3.2...?

I've been using AdAway v3.2 on LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1) without issue for some time now. Is there supposed to be some sort of incompatibility with Oreo? I saw the release notes for AdAway 3.3, but haven't experienced any issues myself.

Have no problems with adaway primal functions. Tcpdump and usage of the log file does not seem to work. Running magisk 15.1. Adaway 3.3

Uninstalled 3.2 with TB then installed 3.3, it's still freezing on start (red bar, empty screen).

There is only one permission (storage) in the app's settings and I have put it ON

-Magisk systemless hosts are ON too.

[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Stable 3.2 worked fine on Oreo and Magisk, it was just the post-3.2 development build (Feb.08.2017) mrRobinson has up in the OP that had problems with Magisk.
[Android Apps and Games] x.trinity:
Yes, thats exactly the procedure.

I even get a full screen ads /horrible stuff / when I play with applications, but my log file still empty.
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
I think I read somewhere that, in some cases, you have to set the kernel as permissive to get the logging to work.

In terminal, as root:

setenforce 0

to set permissive. 1 instead of 0 to set enforcing. The setting will not survive a reboot - will reset to default.

getenforce

will return the current state.
[Android Apps and Games] x.trinity:
Yes, thanks , I second that, exactly what I had found searching the web last night..btw, I dont need to switch between SE modes coz RR O is already set to 0, by default and cant be changed to 1 what makes me to consider other O custom ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
Might be enough to try a custom kernel. Although I agree - a ROM (or any app) that insists on permissive (other than on a temporary basis) would be a nonstarter for me.
[Android Apps and Games] x.trinity:
Im already using Radon+KA, works nicely.

But that notorious RR O/SE 0 mode, being unable to change, is forcing me to abandon RR branch.

Judging upon your hints Ive figured out everything needed to capture DNS , but somewhere is bottleneck.

[Android Apps and Games] DjDiabolik:
You need to reboot android to re-load the host files........... if you update whitout reboot it's useless to upgrade host file. Also on Windows it's same....... host it's be load on memory on boot and in fact in somecase a large host file on windows can create issue during navigation.....
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
I'm sure you are correct in quoting the original documentation of hosts, HOWEVER, using Windows 10 I edited the hosts file in Notepad++ a minute ago, as a test and added a domain to it..saved it and IMMEDIATELY went to the already open web browser (Chrome) never rebooted and tried to go to the website. IT FAILED. I did NOT reboot.

Likewise using the hosts file on Android.

Might be easy enough to try, no? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] oreo27:
I didn't know this. I also assumed that hosts are loaded by the OS on boot and not read until the next reboot. Good to know!
[Android Apps and Games] x.trinity:
I don't know what I've done :D

First, Ive started without typing syntax you had been suggesting since I've obtained url list, as you can see on attached ss. So, Ive tried to block some of them, not all because I was in doubt do I need to block these with Google and Viber names.. so, I' estimated choosen urls , after applying and system restarting unfortunately I got the same ads in the applications. So, after that I applied your hint, this time I put all urls on the black list. After system restarting everything works nicely. All ads disappeared.

edit:

After 10hours,Ive checked my apps again, unfortunately all ads emerged again on the surface. I've applied the procedure again, but didn't found nothing excapt what I already put on the black list... aloha.viber.com, play.googleapis.com, time.musixmatch.com, www.googleapis.com, youtubei.googleapis.com

I have also tryed to add:

Restart firefox and i can reach google.it whitout any problems (problably the host file can't support this way to block a site).

After some google search about someone it's say it's need to reboot on old system like windows 9x or similar. Problably on recent os it's only need to reload the browser or app load the host every session.....

Could you please let me know if there any advantages of using AdAway now?

[Android Apps and Games] sirxdroid:
Doesn't really matter, they both change the hosts file. Whatever you're comfortable with. If you already use one that works well for you, no point changing. For a while I was simply downloading StevenBlack's hosts file and just copying it manually to /system/etc/hosts every time I was (manually) applying the monthly security update. I was not going for perfection and daily updates, just block most of the annoyances. Granted, if you want malware domain protection and such then it makes sense to update more often than monthly.

[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
AdAway still has some advantages:

- It eliminates duplicate host entries. So I can use multiple sources for better filtering without loose of performance or memory.

- It (optionaly) redirects requests to its local server. So no waiting for timeouts.

- It has good diagnostic tools included to optimize the black- and whitelists (dnslog).

See the OP then.

Now, why do you ask people to do things for you instead of doing something yourself ? Please follow the forum's rules. If you want 3.3, search the thread, in a few seconds you'll find it. If you want the latest 'official', 'stable', call it what you want, see the OP, check F-Droid, or contact the developers.

Maybe I'm blind, but do you see v3.3 in the OP?
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Like I said, he could find 3.3 if he searched instead of asking other people to search for him. And he will learn to search as he should have from the moment of joining a forum.

If you read the post you link you will see it says the OP will be updated if that 3.3 build does not have any issues, so it's not 'official' or 'stable' as he wanted, it's an RC that will be added to the OP and tagged for F-Droid when it's considered appropriate.

It also helps to follow a thread instead of considering this forum a free-for-all no hassle software buffet, instead of a forum for developers by developers with a few common sense rules about manners.

Which is the least than can be asked of users who come just for the downloads.

Suggestion but possible difficult to explain/implement.

Due to high numbers of DNS requests.

Log the failed requests to a specific app(only use that app during that time) in third log file. This would indicate the false blokked requests.... Less data... Easier to find the false blocked..

Any suggestions on this idea..
