Hi boys & girls ..... i need a one tips about this app:

I have installed on my OPO whit oreo build of Tugapowers.................. the roms it's rooted by Magisk and apparently i can't obtain this Adway 3.3 works.

I have tryed to apply the 3 default root source.......... the app request me to restart and i do but apparently at restart complete i re-open Adway and i see it's say it's disabled. It's like no host files has been applied but on previously apparently all it's ok and i obtain also the success request of root by MagiskManager.

How i can do ?

I need to activate somethigs on Adways ? Some to select some particular settings on magisk or whats ?

Thanks in advance for this info.
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
Try the 4.0 dev preview above.
[Android Apps and Games] Aghoraswami:
Hi

Have you enabled syatemless hosts in settings of magisk ? If not please do so. I am attaching picture of it see in attachment.

Then re install this app. This should help it run right.

I hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] DjDiabolik:
mmmmmmmmmmm....... reply to both in a single :)

Ok i thinks i can try............. enable systemless hosts and after reinstall the dev 4.0. How i can find ?

Meantime i never used the systemless method previously on mashmellow tugapowers build.......... it's really need on oreo ?
[Android Apps and Games] ktmom:
The dev build is posted in this thread you could search or read back a few pages.

The root method, not the OS, determines the need for systemless. Magisk roots only in systemless mode. You must follow the previously given advice when using Magisk.

Try and try all options before you give up that's how you find solutions to problems at hand. So give it a go you might get lucky.:)

I am using nougat version of tugapower ROM N58 build to be precise on my beacon. Have magisk as root solution and use the mentioned setting for adblock app. I have never had any issues.

Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] DjDiabolik:
mmmmmmmmmm..... it's not true. Previously on N58 i never used the systemless mode and adway 3.3 or previous version it's ever works.

Also i already says upper here.... previous i never need to use the systemless host files.

Need only to test on myself :)
[Android Apps and Games] ktmom:
If, in your previous ROM you were able to directly modify the system partition, albeit with root, then whether Magisk systemless hosts file was enabled wouldn't have mattered. You were just modifying the system partition's host file.

Because you keep saying it doesn't work, and the rest of us have been doing this for at least a day or two </sarcasm>, you need to simply toggle the Magisk setting for systemless host, revert to default any changes you made to file locations in Adaway, then enable Adaway and profit.

[Android Apps and Games] DjDiabolik:
it's probably like that........ for now i have only try to install the dev 4.x version whitout systemless. If also here the host it's lost after a start it's my second change to enable the systemless and reinstall the 4.x for see if works.

My question it's... after enable the systemless option i need somethigs in addiction ? like change manually the path of host on rom preferences or similar to make sure that it's correctly loaded on boot ?

Hi

You need to enable syatemless hosts option in magisk that's it nothing else. Then install adblock and enjoy.

That question was specifically addressed in the answer that you quoted:

Hi all,

Nexus 5X, Oreo 8.1, Rooted

Magisk 16.4: systemless activated and #superuser for Adaway activated

Adaway 4.0.2: systemless option greyed, though installing and applying host sources but not blocking any ads.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] ktmom:
Start by either looking at the header of the hosts file to see if it's been modified by Adaway (it will be noted there) -or- disable Adaway, note the size of the host file, then enable Adaway (with at least one source file enabled) and check that the file size increased.

If the above confirms the host file is actually being modified, then review the Adaway solutions page.

Is it possible to make an System App with Adaway and then unroot the phone?

I only use root for adaway....

But in the last days I'm not satisfied with that, so my idea was to install it maybe that way.
[Android Apps and Games] cnjax:
Go back and read the OP Adaway requires root. End of story
[Android Apps and Games] ktmom:
If you're not worried about regular updates to the hosts file, then before uninstalling root, backup the hosts file and you should be able to put it back in place using recovery or ADB. Be cognizant of permissions on the file.

The reason Adaway needs root is to be able to write the actual file. If you are using a stock ROM rooted in systemless mode now, then the file is actually linked from a SuperSu or Magisk directory to the /system/etc directory. If you unroot and place the file manually, you will be modifying the system partition and probably breaking OTA updates.

Just came from the old official adaway to new version 4. And unfortunately the ads are not blocked. The app has root access and its in systemless mode but still not working as expected. Any idea what's wrong?

Everything working fine here...
[Android Apps and Games] Shivver:
I have exactly the same settings, but unfortunately it's not blocking the ads for some reason.
[Android Apps and Games] ktmom:
Have you rebooted after applying Adaway?

Make sure the hosts file is being modified. Either look at the header of the hosts file to see if it's been modified by Adaway (it will be noted there) -or- disable Adaway, note the size of the host file, then enable Adaway (with at least one source file enabled) and check that the file size increases.

is there a .zip version to install using TWRP?
[Android Apps and Games] ktmom:
Not, it's an apk. Just download, select it in a file explorer and install. Depending on your version of Android, you will probably have to give the file explorer app permission to install apps, or enable installing from unknown sources.

[Android Apps and Games] PerfectSlayer:
It is normal. If you look at the home page of the GitHub project, I added a Travis and Sonar badges which leads to travis-ci.COM (and not travis-ci.ORG).

I waited Travis to move all its open source projects to the main infrastructure (the dot com domain) before deploying it on the upstream GitHub repository.

About the build deployment, I already did it on my GitHub repository. The app was build and sign with my certificate (not the one from XDA builds nor F-Droid builds) and then I upload apks (release and debug) to Google Cloud Storage. Curiously, nobody seems to found this build (or at least, never report and share). I really would like to keep this feature but I struggle with the keystore storage. Any idea how I could sign the app without sharing the keystore?

(I know Travis support encrypted file but it is easy the push a PR with malicious script to leak the keys...)

The dev builds are not advertised in the OP as I do not consider them stable yet.

Feel free to install them if you want to help and report bugs. For stability and daily usage, I recommend to stay on F-Droid stable build instead.

(Hum, it's XDA here, I guess nobody will stay on the old and stable release ;))

Dev version update:

I got a bug report about tcpdump on GitHub. So here a new release which includes:

Fix tcpdump failed to start after being stopped

(I was not very active the last few days as I suffer another loss from my near family.... Those who remember one of my previous post, it's not the first. Actually, it is more the third in the last twelve months so it is quite hard to stay motivated the past days.)
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
Thanks for this update and your hard work. Unfortunately, I still see the merged text issue I sent screen shots of. If you need more info about the device, let me know. And again, it is the stock rom of the device in my signature.

UPDATE: I just discovered the cause of the issue. Under display settings, I have font size set to huge. When I set it to normal, I don't see the issue, but unfortunately, text is hard to read even on this 8" tablet. I have never seen this issue with the many, many apps I have ever tested before, so that is why I think it is an issue in the app, that I would think, could be easily fixed.

Thanks, Again.

I'm sorry for your lost, please accept my condolence. We're all highly appreciated all your hard works. Take some time for yourself.
[Android Apps and Games] oreo27:
Ah yes. They're slowly making the move to the .com domain. I haven't migrated my repos either since the feature is apparently unavailable. Where's the link to your GitHub repo with releases?

I'm not well versed with encryption but if the file and the password to the keystore are both encrypted, how would one leak the keys?

Edit 1 - I just saw your entire post. Please accept my condolences. I'm sure everyone will understand if you need some time. Let us know if we can help you in any way.

Steps

Use the given link to add to your host

list

Later when you save and update .. your device host list with

this you are out of any other serious ****

Super hack instead of reverting back to disable the ad blocker

Instead I uninstalled the ad away later

But you can ask someone else to put a lock or code on Adaway this way you are updated and safe without the permanent risk of unable to revert back to default host..

Wow. I never knew that there were so many porn sites out there.

As aside, wouldn't be a good idea to put it in github?

Or better, submit it as a PR in one of the host collection already.

[Android Apps and Games] githyanki:
No. No reason to do that.

I'm curious, what are you hoping would work better? All Adaway does is build a new hosts file based on the sources you specify.

I second this feature suggestion. Would be nice to be able to update personal lists without needing to waste data (both personal and server-side) downloading the same exact list data again. It is just small text files but is there a technical reason perhaps preventing from working this way?
[Android Apps and Games] Gilfreitas:
my suggestion is that the application has a notification to notify you when an update is available for it.

I'm using host:

https://adzhosts.fr/hosts/adzhosts-android.txt

From blockada seems to be working great.

Anyone else use this with adaway?
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I have this one in my list, along with about 30 others :o
[Android Apps and Games] s--c:
Damn lol. This alone so far does the trick, I guess adaway gets rid of duplicates when merging all the hosts?
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
Yes, the result of merging all the sources by AdAway is an "unified host".
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I doubt it does all. I also have specific malware and porn and others on top of ads, and there is also the issue of timing.. Even with this file AND all the others I have, even ads still leak through. It all depends what you define as "the trick". And yes, adaway looks after the duplicates. And, as discussed previously, if this one file fails, you loose all. Duplicates act as a "plan B" if one or more host sources fail.
[Android Apps and Games] Brahmin:
Hi, I have been blocking ads by AdAway for a long time and it used to work very well. But in the past few months it blocks (almost?) no ads. I have a rooted unofficial LineageOS for Zenfone 2 Laser. Do you have any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
My suggestions (as in not anyone else's ;) ) are to:

1. Test it is actually working.

On the device, open the /system/etc/hosts file and pick one of the hosts being blocked. Open a terminal window and try to ping that selected host. It should return the IP in your host file (normally 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0)

2. If Adaway and your host file is working, then add a few more host sources. There are many documented in this thread.

3. Do an intra-day manual update

However, on a side note, I used to never see ads a few years back, but now even with 30 host sources, some ads will leak through; normally at the end of the day. But I also notice if I do a manual update after I see the add and restart, the chance of an ad passing through is less.
[Android Apps and Games] smartymcfly:
Just in case anyone doesn't know this....

You can use one of the host list from this site nd it includes all in the first picture unified and then you can add other lista to it. These lists are updated and the hist file builds onnthennetwork cpu/server so adaway doesnnot have to do much work bes8des download one host file and add your black/white list.

https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

Edit: Apparently this has already been posted, sorry for garbage post.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
However, if AdAway fails to download this one combined list, then none of the list will be included in your hosts file.
[Android Apps and Games] androidfive:
Can you tell me the sources?

I keep posting. I know there is duplication, I do that on purpose. If one fails, then the other one will cover me. Its the same reason I have two drives in my RAID 1 drives, and back them up (ie another copy).

What you call "duplication" I call "redundancy"
[Android Apps and Games] dante0001:
I did.

To be more precise, the ads vanished on firefox but the space in which the ads were remain, which is bothering me since on forums it puts huge blanks between messages..
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Almost forgot, probably even more important is that these "compound lists" take a snapshot at a certain time, most likely once a day. IF they took the snapshot of the other list 1hr before it was updated, then I have the risk of having that list being stale. I do notice grabbing an intra-day update can sometimes reduce the number of ads that sneak through. Using only the compound lists may not be as effective in those cases, as they may possibly have stale lists.
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
That's nothing a host based blocker can deal with. Install a filter like uBlock-Origin in firefox to get rid of it: While AdAway prohibits fetching of the ads (and saves a lot of bandwidth) uBlock-Origin makes the cosmetic changes to the html data before it will displayed...
[Android Apps and Games] LowVolume:
Seconding this. I'm surprised this wasn't already in, given how unnecessary daily updates are for most lists. Should be easy to add?

This app is on GitHub. If you want to contribute patches, I'm sure it would be appreciated. However, if you won't/can't, then complaining about what others are spending their time on is, at best, rude.

Sometimes being the idea person and expecting someone else to do the work is not practical.
