[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
For me it shows some red stripes on the right side. Pixel 3, Dirty Unicorns (Android Pie), "Magisk 18.0. I think those are part of the missing" deactivate adblocking" button.

Not sure if a log file will be helpful here.
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
Make your system font size smaller. What's happening is the one button is so large it can't fit the second button, even with word wrap, so it pushes it to the edge. German uses a lot of characters, which is why the one button is so big. In English (or Polish) this isn't an issue. (Didn't try other languages)

Might have to stack the buttons on top of each other rather than side by side to ensure this doesn't happen

[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
Too small?
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
The size is controlled by the system font size in settings, and I think the font is the system font

I'm wondering why it takes such a long time (10 sec) for the 4.x versions to apply the hosts file (default path) on LOS 15.1 with root add-on. The 3.x versions are much faster applying.
[Android Apps and Games] PerfectSlayer:
Hi all,

Yes, it looks like the Material Theming transition causes some issues to buttons :eek:

I changed the layout in order to set the buttons on two rows if text are too long.

I hope it will better on your devices :fingers-crossed:

Feedback:

Thanks for the screen. I hope the new layout will make the trick.

I stack the buttons. I don't want the user have to change their font size to use the app ^^'

Are you sure? I removed some texts explaining inner steps of the installation. It could seem longer (as you will see "building host file" for a longer time).

I am interested if you have any measure and if you could share your sources (so I can also test myself).

Changelog:

Fix two buttons line when text too long

[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Nah, I don't want to reduce my system font size cause of one app having issues with it. I think, changing the button text might be a simple solution. Changing it to "Update" and "Disable" seems quite simple in my opinion.

Edit: Version 4.2.1 works good, layout of text and buttons is now shown properly.
[Android Apps and Games] rogers11:
Yes, I'm sure (at least for my devices) 3 secs for 3.x and 10 secs for 4.x.

Source (but it does not matter):

3.x: http://sbc.io/hosts/hosts

4.x: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
I copied your link exactly, in 4.2.1, and it downloaded in less than 3 seconds (including three other sources). Is that the only source you have when it takes 10?
[Android Apps and Games] rogers11:
Yes and it does not make a difference if I use my Nexus 10 or 5x.
[Android Apps and Games] meiser:
Looks good now, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
The buttons and layout and everything is fine (with both 4.2 and 4.2.1), but is there any way to bring the old font/size back? I don't know why it blew up to this size just for this app after the 4.2 update. I don't want to change the system font size because it affects all the other text/apps which is normal.

Edit: My buttons are fine whether stacked or unstacked. The only thing that's a bit jarring is the font. The font in the second screenshot is different because I tried changing the default system font for Pie (Roboto I think?) to see if that solved the font size/spacing/type issue. It doesn't. For reference, compare these screenshots to the layout in the 4.1 build. The text is condensed and at the same size as in other apps; it looks normal. 4.2+ looks blown up.
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
I've had a similar experience with 3.x vs 4.x versions, also. I have 3.x on 4 of my Nextbook Ares 8A, x86, Android 6.0.1 tables and 4.x versions on the fifth one.

I use the same Steven Black hosts plus this one:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jawz101/MobileAdTrackers/master/hosts

The Steven Blacks host is only different in that I use the https source on the tablet with v4.x.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts

I also notice that on the 4.x versions it also checks for the original default hosts built into Adaway, even though they are unchecked. Maybe it does in 3.x as well, but you don't see them as it is so fast?
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
I think you have to ask PerfectSlayer if he can do some visual tweaks.
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Hmm if the font is going to change shouldn't it be to the one Google uses in Contacts, Messages, etc. now? I'm still finding the 4.2.1 font too large and bold on my OP6T.

Both on "Host sources" & "Your List". Whenever I add host sources whitelist, blacklist & redirect there, the red color blocks the add & cancel button so the words can't be seen. Moreover, it seems the home layout is too big, thus it needs to scroll down to find "disable ad-blocking"

I use the new material design library from Google and I try to stick to the font and policies they give on website: https://material.io/design/components/cards.html#theming

I agree the font looks bigger. It may be designed for bigger screens or may be they want to decrease the overall information density.

If some of you have ideas about better layouts, feel free to share sketches!

Thanks for your contribution. It is usually [MENTION=2148774]Vankog[/MENTION] whose handles the translation sync.

Yeah, dialogs are kind of buggy. I just applied default material theming library with accent color and some part of the app looks broken.

I will spend more time on theme customization in order to fix it in the next release but I does not seem to come from my code (dialog and theme library both coming from Google…).

[Android Apps and Games] Ketawa:
Is this a possible bug? It might be due to the hosts source.

I'm using AdAdway 4.2.1 on my Pixel 3 XL with only Steven Black hosts source enabled. Changes to /etc/hosts seem to write successfully; the file size is 1.1 MB. However, when I press "Check for Updates" right now, the app reports "Update Available" almost every time. Checking the list of host sources, it says "Need update for -5 minutes" for the Steven Black source. I don't know if the timestamp is being pulled from the GitHub repo or if AdAway is determining the time incorrectly some other way.
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
Right now my setup is the same as yours (except I also have ipv6 enabled so my hosts file is 1.95 MB) and I don't have the problem you mention. Currently I'm showing Steven Black as 'Up-to-date for 48 minutes'. 'Check for updates' gives a response of 'Newest hosts file enabled'

Just to verify I'm using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts

as my source. So I don't know what's causing the issue, but it's something on your end.

(Under 'General Preferences' I have everything checked)

Maybe try uninstalling, turning off systemless hosts in Magisk (reboot), turn systemless hosts back on in Magisk (reboot) reinstall AdAway and see what happens.
[Android Apps and Games] Lagarde:
I have the exact same setup, but am seeing the same results as Ketawa. Reinstalled, same results. An hour ago it said "Need update for -350 minutes" and now it says "Need update for -50 minutes." Definitely something buggy there.
[Android Apps and Games] jack allen:
Haha awsome thank you lol looks nice
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:

[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
AdAway v4.2.1 "systemless" on Samsung SM-G901F with RR-N-v5.8.5. No issues at all. Please refer to attached screenshots. Host file 1.73 MB with no IPv6 entries.

You might want to consider that your issue doesn't rest with AdAway but with your device and/or setup.
[Android Apps and Games] wizzent:
Hello [MENTION=7408621]Oswald Boelcke[/MENTION] could you please share your hosts sources list in text format? Thx :D
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Here it is.
[Android Apps and Games] Ketawa:
This was coming off a clean install of the new version of Magisk and update to the new version of AdAway. This issue is not currently happening, but I will see if I can replicate it and pull a logcat.

I am using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts also.

Your not experiencing the same issue doesn't mean it must be on my end. There might be something happening where AdAway is pulling times or converting time zones incorrectly, or GitHub is serving up the wrong time. I don't know how it's implemented. If AdAway thinks the latest version of the hosts source is ahead of the device's system time, it could be interpreting it as an update even if it already applied the update to /etc/hosts. First reply I quoted above was timestamped 04:28 PM and stated "Up-to-date for 48 minutes." My post was timestamped 03:26 PM and stated "Need update for -5 minutes." The source was probably updated before either of our posts, not between them.
[Android Apps and Games] neekless:
Have you found a solution for this? I spent months talking to CMB support over not getting notifications and it was driving me insane until I found out hosts adblocking was the problem

Run the app without adblocking enabled and log the DNS requests. Whitelist them one after another and check which are responsible for not getting notifications.

[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
The obvious things, as mentioned in the troubleshooting section of post #1 is check APN for a proxy, specially if ads appear on mobile data (and not on wifi) and use the integrated dns logger in AdAway to find the hosts to block...
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
What he said..

And to simplify it, I had the issue of host blocking working perfectly on WiFi but failed while on mobile data.:mad: So I added the followind lines to my build.prop (Oreo HavocOS ROM, which is based on LOS)

# DNS Servers
net.dns1=1.1.1.1
net.dns2=1.0.0.1
dhcp.wlan0.dns1=1.1.1.1
dhcp.wlan0.dns2=1.0.0.1
net.ppp0.dns1=1.1.1.1
net.ppp0.dns2=1.0.0.1
net.rmnet0.dns1=1.1.1.1
net.rmnet0.dns2=1.0.0.1
net.rmnet1.dns1=1.0.0.1
net.rmnet1.dns2=1.0.0.1
net.pdpbr1.dns1=1.1.1.1
net.pdpbr1.dns2=1.0.0.1
net.eth0.dns1=1.1.1.1
net.eth0.dns2=1.0.0.1

And to check the different cases when on WiFI and when on Mobile data, I use the following

getprop | grep dns;

To use a click interface, seeTeMeFI

It still shows one of the params/settings being changed by the switch to mobile data, but the host blocking works.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
First, thanks very much for sharing the link to your thread; I apologise I didn't know about it. Just downloaded your tool and will give it a try the next days. I'm reporting back in your thread.

And you're absolutely right. As much as AdAway is important to me the use of custom DNS servers is equally important, both for the home network but also on mobile data. While it is much easier to achieve for the home network by just a setup of the home router, it slightly more difficult not to be dependant on the mobile data ISP's DNS servers. I elaborated a bit about this in this post, but a search for the keyword "DNS" in that thread might provide additional results. Actually, I'm running a Raspberry Pi in the home network and Pi-Hole on it.

If our devices are not connected to our home network (always via WiFi) but to a foreign WiFi network or mobile data, we always (with no exception) establish our own secure VPN (by OpenVPN for Android) to the PiVPN on our Raspberry Pi. For those who are interested, more information regarding our setup is available here.

Last but bot least: I hope that [MENTION=2822685]PerfectSlayer[/MENTION] is able to make updates to AdAway again available via XDA Labs. Currently, the (pretty old) version published there still runs under [MENTION=3355398]mrRobinson[/MENTION]. I think it would be great if a handover also occurs in XDA Labs as it happened for this thread.

But you can create a new APN and duplicate the entries in the existing one, except for what you want to change.
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:

[Android Apps and Games] dantexaiver:

I believe the inability to edit apns comes from this

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/77c1dj/android_tethering_and_apn_carrier_config/

Called up my carrier and they told me to take the issue up with Google not them
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
It's definitely your carrier enforcing that. If you want to try messing with the definitions they're in a database located at /data/user_de/0/com.android.providers/databases/telephony.db

Just make sure you back up the file before you start trying to mess with it (and note ownership and permissions as well)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
[MENTION=2822685]PerfectSlayer[/MENTION] (and to all since it could be useful to anyone), in case it wasn't clear, as a reminder (first posted HERE and quoted here below), if you want to manage your AdAway builds on the Labs Store you will have to use your own XDA account to create a project on this store: https://labs.xda-developers.com/manage/login

But to avoid confusions / to not have twice the same app on the store, [MENTION=3355398]mrRobinson[/MENTION] will have to disable his/her builds / project

Edit: and of course, people will have to uninstall mrRobinson's version and then to install yours from the Labs store.

Note: the thread ownership transfer I made recently has nothing to do with what is available on the Labs store, we actually can't do any App project ownership change there.

Feel free to contact me via PM if you need assistance.
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Interesting! I guess the XDA Labs app data might get confused if people don't uninstall from the one Labs project before installing from the other, but since they have a shared signing key technically the new PerfectSlayer ones will install over top of the mrRobinson ones just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
What I meant is: if PerfectSlayer creates a new AdAway project on Labs Store and publishes the next builds from here, I think people using old mrRobinson's build from the Labs Store (not sure this is a thing seeing how old it is) or the apk installed from other markets / methods won't be able to see the App within XDA Labs app, hence won't get notified of new builds published on Labs Store by PerfectSlayer. I think PerfectSlayer builds would have to be installed from XDA Labs at first and then it will be fine for next updates. I'm not 100% sure though :)
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Well, easy solution then:

PerfectSlayer creates a new project for his AdAway version on XDA Labs and publishes it, then adds a big red disclaimer to the OP saying: "Hey guys, uninstall your old AdAway version, then install mine through XDA labs!".

Done :good: :laugh:

Fairly certain you're wrong on this. I have apps that weren't installed via Labs on which I still get notifications if updates are available.

Maybe, yes, that's why I wasn't sure. Best way would be to test it if PerfectSlayer finally publishes the app on the Labs Store.
