Did you use Adaway before the 'systemless 'zip'?

Did you reboot after uninstalling ?

It's possible that there is an previous hosts file in system/etc; delete it before installing 'systemless Adaway'
[Android Apps and Games] jcsww:
It may be something to do with a lack of system space or the kernel. I flashed the full stock ROM, then the same TWRP as you, rooted with 2.78, installed AdAway, had the same thing you got, then flashed the systemless thing, booted, and it was all good. The only thing I have probably done differently is I remove some system apps I don't use, like G+, Hangouts, and a handful of others.
[Android Apps and Games] bagarwa:
Solved.

Of course I had tapped the "download files and apply ad blocking" button. :p That was failing with error.

What I now did is - even though it was saying "Disbaled" at the top, I still tapped the "Disable adblocking" button at the bottom and then again tapped the "download files and apply ad blocking" button. That worked. Yayy.

Thank you all for giving me ideas and helping with this. :good:

TWRP is a fine custom recovery

Maybe this will clear up some new user's misunderstanding about AdAway (from someone who has used it for years)

● AdAway is one of the primary reasons I make sure any phone I buy is rooted and bootloader unlockable.

● If your phone is not bootloader unlocked and rooted and TWRP or similar recovery installed, you are just asking for frustration, get a different phone which is bootloader unlockable, here are some suggestions:

● Nexus phones such as Nexus 6P

● HTC phones such as HTC 10

● LG phones with Euro-country code such as LG G4 H815 (Euro country code only)

● One Plus 3
[Android Apps and Games] vampyren:
AWESOME! Finally no ads! I'm sort of a noob at this and to be honest its not very clear how to install this if your not that used to gadgets.

I mean on the first page it doesnt really say how to install this.

[MENTION=7279408]Mr Hassan[/MENTION]:

Basically you need to have unlocked your bootloader and use something like TWRP to put into your recovery partition, and also root your device. These stuff are specific for your device so search XDA to see how to do that. Once thoese stuff are in place you just put the AdAway zip file on your phone or SD card.

Now go to Security&fingerprint and turn on the "unknown sources". Use a filebrowser and go to the AdAway zip file and click on it to install it. Once installed you can select to update the host file. Done.

Any way a big big thanks to the team for their hard work. I will not buy another phone unless i know i can root it :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Hassan:

i have gt-i9305 s3....and i,m sure this phone is unlock bootloder.

Any chance to get better systemless compatibility with phh's superuser? Current situation is kind of messy: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68645024&postcount=769
[Android Apps and Games] WTF?:
do you have TWRP installed? - it is pretty much required to run AdAway

if you have TWRP installed then you have unlocked bootloader

if you don't have it installed, here are the instructions

once TWRP is installed, just boot into TWRP using the Quick Boot app on google play and then install the AdAway zip using install button in TWRP
[Android Apps and Games] ArmStrongDickPunch:
Just wondering, I searched the forum with no answer, but is there an uninstall zip so just in case the adaway systemless v2 zip causes any issues I can revert it without the need to resort a nadroid backup, if not oh well just thought I'd ask.
[Android Apps and Games] swallowingled:
The zip just installs a script in the su.d folder of su. From what I've read you just need to remove that script. I've never actually tried it myself, I've just been following this thread for quite some time and have seen it discussed.
[Android Apps and Games] WTF?:
Important: Just because you have installed SuperSu's "systemless" root, doesn't mean you have systemless root, in fact, the default mode of Chainfire's SuperSU systemless root is to use the system to gain root, so only install the AdAway redirection of the hosts file zip if you are sure you actually need it.
[Android Apps and Games] mbutandola:
I'm not sure I really got what you mean. If the default is not systemless why call it systemless and what do you need to do for it to be systemless?

Question:

On cos13.1.2 whit an Oneplus One and latest supersu 2.78 stable on google.com result i begin to see some google ads suggestion.

I have disabled the Data save and other but never append.... i need to flash the zip v2 of systemless?
[Android Apps and Games] NLBeev:
Adaway puts a file named 'hosts' in the folder system/etc.

When there is not enough space in the system partition 'hosts' is directed to another location. That's called 'systemless' when the real 'hosts' file is not on the system partition.
[Android Apps and Games] _litz:
Is there any way to get AdAway to ignore the absence of the symlink?

When using the Magisk setup, the hosts file is located at /magisk/.core/hosts and there is no symlink (magisk handles this automagically).

AdAway does not like the lack of symlink, and does not offer any method for ignoring or bypassing the application of one, other than cancelling the update entirely.
[Android Apps and Games] -Duir-:
You don't need to change the file location with Magisk, you just leave it pointed at system/etc.
[Android Apps and Games] _litz:

Did you flash the systemless zip? (AdAway_systemless_hosts_v2.zip)
[Android Apps and Games] Commander Cody:
I have exactly the same problem on Stock Android 7 on my N5X. With or without systemless.zip. I thought I had it working on one of the older N Previews, but on final Nougat it doesn't want to work.
[Android Apps and Games] pianistaPL:
I have been having troubles on Nougat too. It's weird because one time flashing systemless.zip worked but on other ROM didn't. Didn't know exactly what to do, so I got other idea. What I did? First, I moved hosts file to data/data, then set this directory in AdAway and installed hosts. Hosts were installed fine but adblocking didn't work. However, if AdAway did install modified hosts file on the data/data, I moved it again to system/etc, gave 644 permissions, rebooted and voila - ads are blocked.

Done.
[Android Apps and Games] pianistaPL:
I'm not a noob :) As I said, it was working once, so maybe I just messed up something other time. Also, I was trying once with Phh's Superuser without success. However, installing AdAway isn't actually needed when I already have modified hosts file.

[Android Apps and Games] Ashwanthsam:
Is it necessary to flash zip even after installing the App ?

Im on AOSP rom.
[Android Apps and Games] NLBeev:
The hosts file must be in the system folder 'system/etc'.

When there is no space enough inn the system partition, the 'systemless' method is used by flashing the zip. The hosts file is created on another location.
[Android Apps and Games] pianistaPL:
Sure http://www1.zippyshare.com/v/Ok1mwyFa/file.html

Just copy it to the system/etc and grant 644 permissions.

Working on Nexus 5X with Nougat

I successfully make AdAway works on my Nexus 5X with Nougat 7.0 installed. First of all make sure that you have SuperSU 2.78 installed. Flash systemless_hosts_v2.zip via TWRP recovery and install the latest version of AdAway, grant the root rights and restart the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] xabier-bo:
When you say via TWRP, is because via FlashFire will not work properly?
[Android Apps and Games] kirylh:

Hi, I'm running 6.0.1 with SuperSU 2.78. After applied using AdAway, my device is very slow and I can't open AdAway anymore. Besides, the notifications started to repeating themselves.

I've factory reset my device yesterday already.

Fixed: SuperSu related.
[Android Apps and Games] Commander Cody:
Did already tried this several times but it doesn't work for me. My temporary solution is to set a custom target to /sdcard/hosts and after AdAway has created the hosts file copy it manually to /system/etc/ with a root file manager.
[Android Apps and Games] kirylh:
But in this case you have to manually copy the file every time after AdAway does upgrade.

Hi,

I've recently upgraded to an OP3 running OxygenOS 3.5.1 and the latest SuperSU (pro). I've noticed that I can no longer open the latest version of this app (from F-Droid) when I open it, I get the title of the app in a read header and that's it. Just hangs from there.

So I'm wondering if anyone can help me debug this? What should I try to get this working? I really miss my ad-free lifestyle =)

[Android Apps and Games] mrRobinson:
Well you'll get it a lot sooner now since [MENTION=2822685]PerfectSlayer[/MENTION] is contributing. I'll just be QA and provide some guidance on the systemless work he is doing. Then I'll update mongoose, translations, etc. see if i can bump sdk versions to support android 7 stuff as well.

Throw a beta in here maybe next week and then if all goes well we can bump this to 3.2 with full android 7 support and a much support for systemless without having to flash a separate zip. Those who don't need systemless will be able to continue to use as always with no negative side effects.

[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
AdAway with PHH's SuperUser works great if you don't mind the modification of /system/etc/hosts or replacing it with a symbolic link; it doesn't work well in "systemless" mode via "bind".

The systemless patch included in post #1 binds to /su/etc/hosts, which doesn't exist under PHH's solution. Binding to /data/data/hosts as root seems to fail as well.

[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
That's way out of the range of what this app does. What you describe is the exact thing that happens with host files and google ads, whether on Android or Windows or MAC or Linux. All this app (adaway) does is download and compile existing redirection lists. The point is to stop going to certain URLs not to make pretty Google; my suggestion is use DuckDuckGo better search optional ads

After that I can install it if I retry, but I don't get why devs had to change the app that was perfect for this version... Worse is that this bug was reported by many users but they keep the 2.7 as last release as if it was perfect... Why not pull out it, fix the problems and repost it after the bugs are worked out... The app is amazing, but it grinds my gears having this problem and seems that the devs are just ignoring it...

Clear/clean cache from apps that have ads. Then restart phone and check for updates for hosts, and restart again if updates are found. When that happened to me before that's how I fixed it. And to clear/clean the cache use something like Clean Master from the Play Store.
