Are you using chrome with the option to save bandwidth or something like it?

It redirects traffic to go through Google server so AdAway can't recognise adds hosts and lets it all go. As a result Google/Chrome is happily displaying you all the adds.

Untick the option in Chrome, clear it's cache and reboot.

Profit :D

[Android Apps and Games] Janine Belle:
Haha I just did a clean flash and of course I opted out of saving traffic. But still adaway only blocks very few ads. I need the right list/hostfiles to make it functional and effective like adblock plus

Go to the ad-away dev's github page. There is a link to a wiki with 12 host sources or so. Add all of those any you should be good to go. Here's a screenshot of mine; couldn't fit all my sources on one screenshot, though.

To anyone regarding YouTube ads:

If you use Xposed, search for "YouTube AdAway" - then you can use the latest version of YouTube and not have to downgrade to theo0so's modded version.

Been using it for so long I forgot to post it earlier. Lemme know how it works for you. - zmag

Xposed is great for tweaking stock roms but I never use it on custom roms as they usually have all the extra functionalities built in. So I sort of agree with not installing it just for ad removal on YouTube.

For few days now, I noticed that AdAway doesn't update in the background by itself, like it used to (I have the auto-update option ON).

Is it a known issue? Anyone knows how to solve it?

Hey, I have a very important question that hopefully you can answer and confirm: did you try whitelisting some websites? If you do, did you have any success in allowing those ads? I also have a Nexus 7 but whitelisting doesn't work at all.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7 mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] sancho_panzer:
Whitelist is working fine. Usually ads aren't related to websites, they're linked by the website. You must read your tcpdump to know what's being blocked, sometimes those links are masked and it's impossible to know.

Please don't make this kind of assumptions by telling AdAway isn't working, learn how to use it first. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] ovizii:
Before I go and install additional tools I wanted to check whether adaway on its own is supposed to be able to block ads inside the YouTube app or not? If it is able, do I need additional host files or are the default ones enough?
[Android Apps and Games] ChiDi9901:
So it works fine on your 7 2013? And by the way, if something isn't working then it IS NOT working! Do you want me to lie to myself or what?

If you look back some posts, you can see that I have posted about a problem with the BBC news app and somebody even recommended to me a list to import. I tried, but BBC still won't work. And that is why I asked a person with a Nexus 7 because it could be just a problem with specific devices.

If you have a Nexus 7 then would you tell me what you have whitelisted or what your steps are to achieve this.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7 mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] kingvortex:
I think everyone needs to take a breath and calm down before this escalates. :)

I think the point being made is that the white list does in fact work. You probably aren't whitelisting the correct URL to allow the content you want. That is a different issue to the whitelist not working at all. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] sancho_panzer:
Congratulations, your officially on my ignore list. :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] ChiDi9901:
As I said, I am calm. I didn't say that I don't believe you guys who say that whitelisting works. It seems that the guy I asked didn't have the time to answer my question yet. (Maybe he will never answer?) I made this tcpdump thing before but as I said it didn't work on my side.[emoji53] My BBC app still doesn't want to show me videos. I attache my white list so you can see.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7 mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] kingvortex:
The BBC app not playing videos is a common issue experienced from long ago. I don't know if anyone ever found the correct URL to whitelist to make them work.

This doesn't mean the whitelist function doesn't work. It actually works just fine. ;)

Cool guys. Technical issues are not personal. No one forces to use software from XDA. We desired we use.

Sometimes we don't get answers nor we ourselves answer for months, patience is the key to success.

PMimg specific issues will solve most problem in my humble opinion.

Together we succeed, alone we do little.

Ad stoppers blocked from Google and XDA is helping us let's remember. Where else we go?

I am thinking ways to block Advt from non rooted phones using facilities like proxy or no root VPN firewall concepts.

Certain apps are greedy to hijack with full page Advt even after allowing mini framed advts. Even Antivirus does not detect as risks becaus vits an update.

Wish not to name, an SMS app does not work after update. Reason? AdAway!!! Well, only non intrusive are allowed. The same SMS software works in non rooted phone. It means the software don't work if you disallow full page Advt. Every time an SMS received in default messaging system this software loads full page Advt. Annoying.

Innocent users are not warned about change in Advt policies. Why no provision to buy full version without advts?

Developers should re-think their marketing strategies or we are compelled to use Advt away in its full form.

[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
Well, almost. They have different signatures. This means that you can't install an F-Droid apk over a mrRobinson apk or a mrRobinson apk over an F-Droid apk without first uninstalling the current version. If you don't have convenient tools such as TiB, it can be tedious. Since we're on XDA and mrRobinson does a nice job of keeping abreast of significant source changes, it might make sense to simply grab your AdAway from here for easy painless updates.

AdAway is merging multi host sources into your host file. But play store and push notifications works fine after applying it. If you want to make sure, install AdAway but don't apply it. Go into Menu and something like "trace DNS requests" and in there just launch Tcpdump and open playstore or whatever apps you think doesn't works right for a few seconds. Than go back to the tcpdump screen and disable it and look at the log for whitelisting some entries. Then you can apply AdAway and reboot.

If your apps works after applying with whitelist then I'm not the one who can explain that issue :(
