One month ago, i notice network down msg in youtube 4.0.23 on s2, lg g2,Optimus g pro. Then same msg on note3. Also white window instead clip. Usually an reload of video fix this.

Then i update my network with fiber, also change router with a new one. Same problem.

So i think its google fault for this problem. Even with adaway off problem appear but ON ANY VERSION. Cant fix this. I even google for this stupid msg: there was an problem with your network. Yeah, right, i have 1000 mbs network only for me, and 2 quad wifi network, 2 on 2.4, 2 on 5ghz.

In Romania 1000mbs net is only 10 euro, 1tb router included

Hi Bogdan,

I solved the white window bug by removing l.ytimg.com from AddAway black list.

Now YT 5.3.28 from your link works fine: no adds and videos thumbnails are displayed.

Now I just need to get TRDSed version of it, but that's when Dan Koman from Slim roms team is back from holidays.

Thanks!

Hi Bogdan,

What was the latest YT apk working without adds under AddAway for you? Was it 5.7? Could you please link a download?

I'm on a quest to find latest AddAway add blockable version of YT apk :)

v5.7.41 youtube. Latest that work with adaway ON + adaway xposed activated.

Regarding white on clips, i do not have anythig in blacklist adaway.
[Android Apps and Games] Natakranta:
I've just tested 5.7.41 and as you wrote it requires Xposed module for adds to be blocked with AddAway. AddAway on its own can't stop them.

As I'm not using Xposed I'm back to 5.3.28 as it plays good with AddAway only, no Xposed required.

And if I want FHD video I download with YouTube Downloader by [MENTION=4792098]xda_dentex[/MENTION] - fantastic app, works great!

For anybody running the latest YouTube, try adding these:

WARNING: I'm experimenting here, so some of these are a bit overbearing and WILL break things unintentionally (blocking Google's 1e100 domain is probably bad news). Try at your own risk, or just remember to delete them afterwards.

[STRIKE]127.0.0.1 www.googleadservices.com
127.0.0.1 googleads.g.doubleclick.net[/STRIKE]
127.0.0.1 e7188.g.akamaiedge.net
127.0.0.1 googlevideo.com
127.0.0.1 ytimg.l.google.com
127.0.0.1 1e100.net

Do you still get ads in YouTube after applying these?

EDIT: I crossed off the ones that I know are already included, but it didn't seem to work until I added them.
[Android Apps and Games] USBhost:
Will do when i get home

Edit: where are you geting them
[Android Apps and Games] RootTheMachine:
Using Wireshark and other tools. Probably just finding random Google servers though.
[Android Apps and Games] evrycard:
Not working.
[Android Apps and Games] USBhost:
You know youtube may be using a proxy to bypass the host file

Like what chrome can do
[Android Apps and Games] tsjanda:
Thinking it might be serving ads via https
[Android Apps and Games] USBhost:
So the host file only blocks http
[Android Apps and Games] tsjanda:
I believe so, however I could be wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] USBhost:
Its confirmed host file doses not block https

Grate!

I tryed puting the host name of an https website www.eff.org

And adaway did not block it
[Android Apps and Games] an0n981:
The host file does it's part way before a protocol is used. Meaning any traffic to a host, be it http, https, ftp... will be redirected to 127.0.0.1
[Android Apps and Games] USBhost:
Then why doesn't it block www.eff.org

I put it in the black list/apply

Then i rebooted
[Android Apps and Games] Pons:
Worked for me. Make sure you're not having Chrome optimize bandwidth/reduce data usage or whatever that option is called.

Edit: be sure to refresh that page, too. If you opened it, tried to block it, and reopened it, it might be accessing a cached copy if you don't manually refresh.
[Android Apps and Games] USBhost:
cached here lol i never have the option checked

So then youtube is using a proxy like what chrome can do
[Android Apps and Games] an0n981:
Here is what happens:

1. You open app xyz and it decides it needs to connect to google.com, however internet communication works via IP addresses not DNS names (DNS names are only there because they are easier for humans to remember than IP addresses)

2. The DNS client in your phone needs to figure out the IP address for google.com

3. First it checks the hosts file (permanent entries) and IP cache (temporary entries) if an entry for google.com is known, if yes the traffic is sent to that IP address, if no then a DNS query is sent to your DNS server.

4. The DNS server returns the corresponding IP and the traffic is sent that IP.

Note that AdAway is not actually active in this process, it only adds/removes entries from the hosts file during its own update process. Also note that the IP cache is not permanent, I believe by default entries have a max lifetime of 10 minutes on stock Android.

If an app has the IP address of server that it wants to communicate with programmed into it, all of the above steps are skipped. If an app sends all its traffic through a proxy server, the DNS query will be for the address of the proxy server, not the actual server to which the is supposed to end up at. Meaning the DNS client will only check the hosts file for the IP of the proxy server.

It's off topic to ask this in this thread. The app works fine on properly rooted devices so that's the limit of the scope of this thread.

Hi boys... i have a simply question about this programs!

Two days ago i have unistall the official 2.8.1 on my One Plus One (with stock CM11S 4.4.4 rooted etc etc) because this versions goes in crash

three times on four after search the updates and try to upgrade and apply modify to host file!

Before to uninstall the official version i have previously restore the default host file and restart my phone!

After that i have installed the MODDED by d4rken posted in first reply...... yeah.... this versions it's working really good respect the official:

- For example The root permissions are taken just started the app

- And it's working at first attempt and apply the modify to file host at first time whitout any crash....

But my question it's simply:

I have used the official 2.8.1 about 2 month.... every 24/48 i check manually if exist an upgrade and sometime i found and installed....... after i have installed this modded version i have found and apply the host file but it's 5 days and no updates has been found.

My question it's:

The Official version every time founded this upgrades it's still in crash and it's fouded and were found wrong ??? Or the MODDED versions not working and the upgrade procedure not working ??
[Android Apps and Games] USBhost:
Same there
[Android Apps and Games] leopard_fist:
can an ip list be imported to this app ? (not a hosts file)
[Android Apps and Games] an0n981:
No, to block IP addresses you would need to use IPTABLES. This app adds DNS entries to the hosts file, nothing more.
[Android Apps and Games] DjDiabolik:
yeah it's great app but it's better the first time i found and upgrade because in some cases some ads it's back on my phone and whit mod version i'm not found any new host file from origianal source...
[Android Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Just wanted to share this.

Not sure if it has been reported.

If you are using this and tethering to say a Playstation watching Hulu it blanks out all the ads through tether.

Nice unexpected side effect.

[Android Apps and Games] Blizzard22:
Finally I solved my crash problems.

I've had to enable web server and start on boot zo get it working and stop greenify closing adaway.

I'm here judo to ask one simple question :

I know, you can whitelist specific sites, but can you disable ads like Adblock on pc on all sites and links (on their website)? Adaway whitelisting doesn't really disable adblock on the website, I still don't see any ads on the websites on some sites (theguywiththegalsses.com and gameone.de) use video player which won't work unless you disable adblock and I would like to whitelist them but it doesn't seem to work if I only put the websites on the whitelist.

Edit:

Looks like theguywiththegalsses works even with adblock but gameone does not work.

When I try to start a video the player says I should disable adblock (which I tried, but adaway somehow does not disable ads on sites of the whitelisted sites, it's only allowing ads if it's already in the hosts).
[Android Apps and Games] bogdan1980:
On note 3, sometimes on android 4.3 and 442 webserver wont stay on..... On v2.8,2.8.1,etc. When it does that i usually use older version, like 2.5

Pull Request and Test Version

I have submited a pull request that should fix the following issues in AdAway:

Inability to link hosts file to data partition on some Android 4.4 ROMs (it should work if /data/hosts is selected as Target hosts file)

ANRs/crashes while doing root actions (e.g. updating hosts file or creating symlink to it)

The changes are working on Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300) with CM11 nightly and SuperSU.

Could somebody please test those changes on other devices/ROMs/Superuser solutions?

I would love to hear feedback about this test version. :)

Test version is attached to this post (or, of course, can be built from sources). Please note that this version can be installed only after removing original AdAway (because it is signed with different key).

New test version (AdAway-improvements-TEST2-debug-unaligned.apk) that includes UI fix and help update is available.

All these changes have been merged into AdAway 2.9.

P.S. Please note that I am not the developer of AdAway. All credits for AdAway should go to Dominik Schürmann.

Change AdAway's default hosts source to https means that adaway.org/hosts.txt is now accessed via https.
