Hiya guys, I'm having a problem with this app, everything worked ok til yesterday. I'm using adblock.mahakala.is as the only source but now I keep erroring out to home screen at the merging & parsing stage. Any ideas? I no that the uncompressed host file is about 27 MB, (i believe it's the same hosts file as the mother of all adblocking hosts file). Do you think the hosts file is too big?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] s--c:
I didn't know this. Excellent! Will be using it.

By the way, didn't mean to write "everyone here knows", it was supposed to say "everyone here, you should know". Auto correct-ninja'd.

Why does the latest say "Dev Build"? Is that significant?

[Android Apps and Games] Mahennemaha:
I can't recommend that source, while it will block some additional ads, it has many false positives in the list.

So i suggest to disable that source and test different alternatives, or just the adaway default sources.

Note that adblock can't differentiate between ads and "useful" content, it can only block hosts. So it needs proper hosts sources.
[Android Apps and Games] jackdubl:
I have to agree with the other poster who replied to this. That host file is WAY too aggressive. Half of the Play Store icons won't show up with it applied. Do yourself a favor: go to the ad-away github page, there is a link to a wiki that the Dev has put up that has about twelve different host sources to apply. Apply all those and you won't have many problems after that.

I installed 2.9.1 and want to restore settings from 2.9 via TB but I get FC when I want to access My lists and Host-sources.. Is that normal? If yes, is there a file where this sources/lists are stored so that I can re-enter them manually?

Why do you want to restore from TB?! There are just few settings and you can export/import lists easily. TB should only be used to recover app data on same ROM and same version app, otherwise you're looking for trouble.

I'll assume only user list are exported 'cause you can apply the host file in the application
[Android Apps and Games] j1gga84:

I added about 10 more sources and I don't want to enter all URL's again, that's the point..

Oh ok sorry. So no, you can't but you can copy/paste them in a text file and juste copy/paste them back after reinstalling :)

Could you try changing https://adaway.org/hosts.txt back to http://adaway.org/hosts.txt before upgrading.

P.S. I will fix this in the code also.

Could you try the build attached? It should be able to handle the backup that crashed v2.91.

Hello everyone, thanks for your input.

I am using Galaxy Tab III 7-inch with modded KitKat 4.4.x ROM by xda's gr8nole (v2.0) and AdAway 2.9.1

cannot reboot

the device (when prompted) despite being accesssing root privileges. I installed 2.9.1 directly after clean ROM install, too.

I am doing a manual reboot each time. The application seems to work OK and block most of what I visit, always with basic/default filters, nothing custom so far.

Any ideas? Is this a bug? I could not find any reference to "reboot" issue in the thread here, when I searched for it...
[Android Apps and Games] Wh1t3Rose:
This is very very inaccurate. First off if what you said was true there would be no point to these apps. The whole reason people download TIBU is so people that clean flash a new ROM can get their USER apps AND APP DATA back. I have been using TIBU for 3 years. I consider myself to be an advanced user and know exactly what you can and what you shouldn't do.

User apps and user app data are fine to restore regardless of ROM. Also some certain system data are OK to restore too! For example. SMS/MMS (not the app itself) call logs and WiFi Passwords are perfectly safe to back up and restore.

What you SHOULD NOT do is backup other system apps and restore them on other ROMs. That is what gets you in trouble. Think about it. The ROM is probably using different versions of the system apps you (shouldn't) back up. You restore those apps and replace the ones in the ROM this breaks the ROM because more l now the libs in System can not find the system apps you just removed. That's why restoring system apps besides the few I mentioned above is a bad idea. But Restoring User Apps is fine.
[Android Apps and Games] sancho_panzer:
[MENTION=219258]SandMan[/MENTION]

Not going to debate this subject here, this thread isn't about TB. All I'm going to say is there are lots of variables proving you're not right on your observations being the best example the huge step taken from Gingerbread to KitKat, data files and dependencies changed for lot's of apps between them (and I wont even mention the huge SD Card app data restoration problems on some particular phones).

I'm with you, Sandman. There's always exceptions, but by and large Sandman is right.

Where in my post did I state restoring apps from one Android version to another is a good thing? Besides that was out of the scope of this discussion. Who is going to use a JB ROM. Backup all there apps and decide OK I want to go back to GB? Besides if I stated that restoring system Apps from one ROM to the next (Same Android Version) was a bad idea, then What made you think I thought different Android versions were OK? (Yes User apps Matter in this fictional circumstance)

Guys do you all manage to reboot via AdAway when it prompts you to do so? I have my Tab 3 rooted (with 4.4.x) but I always do this manually... I press "Reboot" button (in AdAway) but nothing happens...

Thanks in advance.

I have to manually reboot on S4 4.4.2, it doesn't bother me tho, it does what it is suppose to do, block ads.

Ok, I must repeal my last post that it works with official 2.9.1 !

I can type in adresses manually and import settings but after a reboot AdAway crashes again when I want to open these lists.

When I try the same with your build in attachment everything is fine, also after a reboot, just for your information! :good:

You can safely Greenify it if you don't use automatic daily update checking (if you will greenify AdAway, automatic checking for updates won't work).

[Android Apps and Games] adxuser:
Guys. It looks like to me that AdAway is blocking youtube from playing. Is it possible?

Lately official youtube app had some problems - that is other story.

But for some videos I have "touch to retry" info and the same time reverting temporarily to default hosts file is clearing this situation.

So where is the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] greyhd:
No issues with you tube here.
[Android Apps and Games] o-o:
Not sure if this is the right place, but hopefully somebody can help.

With adaway on and hotspot off, my phone browser works great. After I turn on my hotspot the phone browser won't fill out many pages, it just hangs. I can disable adaway and then the hotspot and phone browser work well together. Its like this on both my S5 and S4 with CM11 and several different browsers.
[Android Apps and Games] skullverine:
It's not blocking ads when I use Chrome, but it blocks ads when I use the default browser. I've already updated to the latest host files.
[Android Apps and Games] stab244:
If you have the reduce data usage option on in Chrome, it bypasses the host file filtering.

I've already used the blacklist. I know what it is.

Thanks anyway Hedied4me for paying attention.

I managed finally to get rid of advertisings after several attemps and reboots. And by using blacklist.

But it was difficult to get the suspect website names, and to make putting them in the backlist, efficient.

I suspect some caching of DNS accesses.

Either in Kitkat 4.4.2,

either in AdAway jounalizing,

either in Maildroid,

of maybe a caching of advertising texts in Maildroid.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] sancho_panzer:
Great to know. Maybe you could share your blacklist here, YouTube ads block it's a very common concern here.

For convenience:

2.9.2

This release has mainly been done by Dāvis Mošenkovs.

* Added Trove library for high performance collections

* Adware scan improvements

* Separate whitelisting and redirections options - "Allow whitelisting" defaults to checked; "Allow redirections" defaults to state of "Allow redirections and whitelisting" (or unchecked on new installations)

* Fix tcpdump logging upon file deletion

* Fix possible crash on DB update

* Fix AdAway's default hosts source
[Android Apps and Games] mrRobinson:
that's because prior version was from fdroid. if your prior version was installed from here then you would have had an issue installing from fdroid. they sign it with thier sig and I sign with mine. In order for it to install on top without uninstalling first the signatures have to match.

I'm just wondering if it would be possible to change the behavior when turning the ad filtering on.

I often have to turn it off due various reasons and every time I turn it on it updates itself or at least it does say so. Bandwidth is very expensive around here so I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong or is this normal behavior?
