Yo dude. I hope you're working on achieving a higher bus factor for your project. You disappeared for over two months with no info. It would be helpful if you had some backup people to update the lists in your absence.

[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Its a guess, but if the server does not publish the date of the file or reports it in correctly, AdAway would assume it has been updated
[Android Apps and Games] hackerpower:

[Android Apps and Games] Phil_Smith:

webserver constantly disables itself on op6. same exact version of adaway on my op3t always works. Rooted 4.2.6
[Android Apps and Games] 43t34:
Soooo, I downloaded AdAway on LineageOS from F-Droid store. I’m trying to enable ad-blocking, but I get an error every time that says “not enough space on the partition.” I checked my System files and I have a ton of space in it. I tried all the other options and it says the same thing. Then sometimes it mentions “symlink missing,” so I tap “yes” to create it and it instantly fails.

Using a Moto X4. Not using Magisk - using AddonSU.

Help would be great.

EDIT: For what it's worth, AdAway worked fine with Magisk installed. Had to resort to using Magisk instead of AddonSU.
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
If you are using AdAway in system mode installing busybox (also on f-droid - https://f-droid.org/app/ru.meefik.busybox - should help to get it working...
[Android Apps and Games] 43t34:

Hello, I have updated the hosts and now my phone has a bootloop. How can i solve this?

Enviado desde mi MI PAD 4 PLUS mediante Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
The new AdAway expects the files to be in json format. Exports from older versions are not compatible and will not be imported atm. Ask the dev. to support old import format, too.
[Android Apps and Games] shanar585:
Anybody have a proper whitelist that's in json format?
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Use my Magisk module. Way easier than an app.
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
Here you are (but change the extension back to .json). And make a backup of your lists before applying my file. I did not test whether importing it replaces your entries or whether it will be merged...
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
Does your module work with su-addon? He does not use Magisk as he told us...
[Android Apps and Games] 43t34:
This.
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Not this. Get it from my Odds and Ends thread and it'll install directly to system if there isn't a detected systemless option. My zips support all root solutions and always have.
[Android Apps and Games] 43t34:

[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
What are you talking about? You were discussing busybox.
[Android Apps and Games] 43t34:
My main issue was AdAway. Always saying no space on partition when there definitely is.

EDIT: For what it's worth, AdAway worked fine with Magisk installed. Had to resort to using Magisk instead of AddonSU.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
get busybox installer from the attachments in the op and try again.
[Android Apps and Games] 43t34:

EDIT: For what it's worth, AdAway worked fine with Magisk installed. Had to resort to using Magisk instead of AddonSU.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
the point of discussion was your main issue - AdAway always saying no space on partition. is that resolved?
[Android Apps and Games] 43t34:
No. I had to try a working version of BusyBox. Which I just flashed but don’t have the app anywhere from it. So I don’t know if the zip did anything on my phone. On TWRP, it was doing stuff (installing I guess), but nothing on my phone from it.

EDIT: For what it's worth, AdAway worked fine with Magisk installed. Had to resort to using Magisk instead of AddonSU.
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Busybox isn't an app, it is commandline tools...
[Android Apps and Games] 43t34:
Huh? I downloaded it earlier today. When I opened it, it went through a bunch of files and I hit “install” and then it would constantly just immediately fail to install.

How do I use it then to fix AdAway if there’s no app to open up for BusyBox to use it?

EDIT: For what it's worth, AdAway worked fine with Magisk installed. Had to resort to using Magisk instead of AddonSU.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
The previous app you have used was actually an installer, not busybox itself.

Open up a cmd prompt either directly on the phone or from adb and type:

busybox;
[Android Apps and Games] 43t34:
Ok, did that. Brought up a bunch of stuff.

Do I just do the “BusyBox —install [-s] [DIR]” command now to somehow fix AdAway? What exactly do I put in for the “[-s]” and “[DIR] parts? Doing this on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
By a bunch iof stiuff, that is basically telling you that busybox is already installed. You could check explicitly for yourself, but you would be confirming something that is already pretty certain. Running install would just repeat what is probably already done by whatever you used to get busybox onto your system.

So, now busybox is installed, simply move onto the next step in whatever you were doing, this step is done.
[Android Apps and Games] PoochyX:
If the guy doesn't know how to install Busy box he clearly shouldn't have a modified device in the first place and quite frankly should stick to stock like the last 10 post here have been about like installing busybox

([emoji813]9/[emoji725]/9[emoji813])
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
He has to learn somehow. We were all there once upon a time, and if he sticks to stock he'll never learn.
[Android Apps and Games] 43t34:
Ok, so I tried to enable AdAway again and I get the same exact errors as before. Saying “not enough space on partition” and then when I switch the directory to the other 2 options available (/data/hosts and /data/data/hosts) it immediately fails and asks to create a symslink and when I tap “yes,” it instant fails.

For reference again: using a Moto X4 on LineageOS. NOT using Magisk, using AddonSU. I wonder if this is just a bug with AdAway?

Also, this is what I meant showed up when I said “a bunch of stuff”:

https://imgur.com/a/QaXICM9
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Looking at your setup again, it's because there's literally not enough room in /system.

People were confused because sometimes that message incorrectly shows with systemless roots, even though system space doesn't matter in that case.

In yours however, with addon-su, it does matter and it's a real indicator message. You just need to either use a smaller list of host sources in AdAway, or, delete something in /system you don't care about to make room. Maybe some ringtones you don't care about from /system/media for example.

Or you could also just switch to Magisk, since it'll resolve the issue and generally makes life easier. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
The easiest solution is probably to replace AddonSu with Magisk, then activate Magisk's host module.

I'm pretty sure the problem is being caused by a read-only system partition. Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with Lineage or AddonSu to give more specific solutions.

Does AddonSu allow for boot scripts? If so I can probably cook something up. Also what's the output of (from a terminal emulator)

su --help

Specifically does it have any of the following options:

-mm

-M

--mount-master

And the "bunch of stuff" is what most of us figured it was. Busybox is correctly installed.
[Android Apps and Games] 43t34:
Not sure about boot scripts, I’ll check.

Looks like I get a “-m” option out of these:

https://imgur.com/a/dphR9qL
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
Since you are not using the systemless hosts option, did you make sure that option is not checked in Adaway settings?
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
-m doesn't cut it. Not sure if what I cook up will work because I don't know if the mounts would be global or not

The best bet really is to switch over to Magisk.
[Android Apps and Games] 43t34:
Was hoping osm0sis’ BusyBox would potentially fix my original adAway problem since it apparently “works with all root options,” but yeah, it looks like I’ll be switching to Magisk....maybe.

Do you know if Magisk connects to Google in any way? My entire purpose of getting an Android phone and using LineageOS was to stay 100% private and secure and have anything related to Google not on the device.

EDIT: For what it's worth, AdAway worked fine with Magisk installed. Had to resort to using Magisk instead of AddonSU.
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Busybox is clearly installed to your device, so my installer does work with all root solutions, and so you can chill with that weird attitude about it.
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
Isn't there a minimum set of gapps that are required for basic functionality?
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Only for SafetyNet and checking of it, microG should work fine too.
[Android Apps and Games] 43t34:
Mind me asking how to keep Magisk auto-updated? Which script is it in your Odds and Ends post? I installed Magisk.

EDIT: For what it's worth, AdAway worked fine with Magisk installed. Had to resort to using Magisk instead of AddonSU.
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Magisk Manager will update it for you. It's the app Magisk installs, no script necessary.

[Android Apps and Games] ipdev:
[MENTION=10015392]43t34[/MENTION]

I found some notes from the last time I ran system-root.

Depending on the rom.

I had to create a symlink from /data/user/NameOfDirectory/hosts to /system/etc/hosts

or

I used a init.d script to bind /data/user/NameOfDirectory/hosts to /system/etc/hosts

Had to copy the stock hosts file to /data/user/NameOfDirectory/ first.

If using symlink, had to delete the /system/etc/hosts file.

Setting the symlink would be done in recovery with system mounted.

As [MENTION=4487388]jcmm11[/MENTION] noted, at least for me, it was due to system mounted read-only.

That's why I needed to link system/etc/hosts to a directory that could be written to while the system was running.

Note:

I know you are running magisk now.

Just incase you want to go back or there is someone else running system-root, it may help.

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
If you're using su add-on from lineage, have you gone into developer options to check if you've granted root permission? It will have options like, apps, apps and ADB, and none.

You need to give root permission, basically turning on root. Select apps or apps and ADB and try adaway again.

If it was set to none, you're not giving adaway permission to write to system. Hence the message, "not enough room on partition". It can't write to /system.

When you ran adaway, did it ask for superuser permission?
[Android Apps and Games] 43t34:
Yeah, those permissions were already given.

With adaway I never see any kind of ad window. That is why I asked.
[Android Apps and Games] broomer68:
That will only depend on how the ads are incorporated into the webpage/application.

If there is only (add add here) than nothing will be displayed (or some text noting the adserver is not responding)

If the ad is specified with (open window on top, size x, y; fill with ad from server) it will still open that window before reaching the conclusion that the server does not respond...

Recently i updated my ROM and Adaway didn't seem to be blocking any ads. and got an error about "No space left". I went with using a symlink to /data/data/hosts but that doesn't seem to have fixed anything.

I then tried enabling systemless hosts in Magisk and can see the module there and rebooted. In Adaway i've got the target set to /system/etc/hosts. When i look in a file explorer /system/etc/hosts still seems to be symlinked to /data/data/hosts.

Also, when i try to enable the systemless hosts setting in Adaway it doesn't seem to enable. I get a message about it being allowed superuser rights but nothing changes.

I still have ads showing. Any ideas about if i've got something wrong and how to fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] jcmm11:
Try deleting and re-installing AdAway. Hopefully that'll remove the symlink. (That symlink option should probably be removed).
