Can't Use ,, Crashes for me

Can't use ,,, Crashes for me :(

It will attempt to load apps for about 20 to 30 seconds then close down

The fault is almost certainly not MinMin as I experience a crash when I try to load my entire app list using the stock Applications Manager within the phone, obviously I have an annoying app somewhere causing this ...

What I wanted to ask is can a block everything option be added, rather than it loading the full app list for individual blocking at launch, so that there is a choice.

I've used Ad-Away for many months and it does work for most ad-blocking, but very keen to try this

I can view my applist using AutoStarts or Titanium and they all show up, I guess it queries them in a different way

Hi [MENTION=4981793]FatMinMin[/MENTION],

when I enable MinMinGuard 1.7.0 for http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.axelspringer.weltmobil the app does not start any more. It just displays startup screen and keeps displaying it. When I disable the app in MinMinGuard, app starts normal.

Can you take a look on it?

Tnx,

Strange because usually AD found all mobile advertising.

[Xposed Framework Modules] HunterNIU:
[MENTION=4981793]FatMinMin[/MENTION] Just wanted to give you a heads up. AdAway (at least for me on GS4 4.2 and GN2 4.3) DOES remove the empty ad apace as well as the ad itself. However I still switched to MinMinGuard for now as I prefer to do as much as possible through Xposed rather than having to go to FDroid to update the adblocker all of the time.

Thanks for the work!
[Xposed Framework Modules] ctbear:
That depends on how the app displays the ads. Adaway doesn't aim to remove the white space like this one. Try Weatherbug and see what I mean.
[Xposed Framework Modules] HunterNIU:
Gotcha, I don't use very many apps that have ads (I tend to buy pro) so I hadn't noticed it not doing that. Thanks for pointing that out.
[Xposed Framework Modules] claytonjn:
[MENTION=4981793]FatMinMin[/MENTION]

I've got a few suggestions that could bring MinMinGuard very close to being the perfect ad blocker for Android. I've listed them in what I would consider descending priority.

I know you implemented a host file in some fashion. I also know this isn't the traditional replacing /system/etc/hosts but that it does seem to apply to all apps, even if they are not selected. My first suggestion would be to have the hosts blocking also only apply to selected apps. I don't know how it works with this module, but with the regular /system/etc/hosts file there is a slight delay caused by parsing the hosts file - therefore it would be better if only those apps with ads have to parse a long hosts file so that those without ads may experience ever so slightly quicker and/or more reliable network connections.

My second suggestion would be to implement a whitelist/blacklist of URLs for the hosts blocking. It should implement at the very least the * wildcard, or even better it could use regular expressions. This way, if the hosts blocking causes an app with ads to misbehave the offending URL could be whitelisted, or if an ad isn't being blocked it could be blacklisted.

Finally, in order to have all functionality of AdAway, it would be awesome to include a Log DNS function. This would allow the user to discover what URL needs to be whitelisted or blacklisted. If there was a way to directly add logged URLs to the whitelist or blacklist that would be perfect. You could probably pull a lot of the code from AdAway's sources. This is fairly low priority because it would *hopefully* not be very often that a user would need to do this, so on those occasions they could use the functionality in AdAway.

Also, on a more specific note, MinMinGuard successfully removes the ads from Scope, even when it's not selected, however selecting it doesn't remove the black bar for the banner ad at the bottom. Selecting "Enable Url filtering in WebView data" or "Enable recursively remove empty parent view(may lead to view crash)" has no effect. The ad networks MinMinGuard reports it using are AdMarvel, AdMob, Amazon, Millennial, and Onelouder. I've also attached the log.

Thanks for the app, I really look forward to seeing how the development progresses!

Why doesn't mine show up which apps are adwares, like the screenshot in the op??

And also, installation instructions on http://www.phonearena.com/news/How-to-completely-block-in-app-ads-the-proper-way_id52292 indicates that xposed framework needs to be installed, but minminguard.apk installs fine as a standalone. What's going on?

The app will install without the framework, but will not work properly as you've noticed.

MMG module = no go on Startapp adverts - had to install Xad module

An app called "Night Vision Ultimate" using Startapp to deliver adverts (according to info provided by the MinMinGuard module) was not blocked in any fashion by MMG.

Only after I installed the

Xad module

did the adverts go away.

(BTW, there is a bug of some sort that prevents the XPosed Framework from installing MMG. Manually installing the .apk is the required workaround.)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Pons:
Not seeing this at all. Been installing this mod since it's release, and updating everytime there was an update. All through Xposed. So I don't see how this is "required," especially since this post is the first I've heard of it. Care to capture a logcat, Xposed log, and/or error message?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Diomorgan:
Thank you for sharing your job, but since you are the first one that compares his apps to AdAway, I would like to let you know that AdAway CAN remove the space where banner should be (hornet, grindr, flashligt and so much) and can even remove ads from browsers.

It could be heavier, as you say, but unfortunately xposed framework makes 2 of my android phone/tablets instable with a lot of selfreboot.

So be careful...

Thank you anyway, your app has a cool features that I would like in AdAway :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
Have you see the photo how it remove space of banner? How adway do this? It doesn't. It only disappear them. Doesn't remove banner space.

Guess what, i just reinstated adaway (i already had it installed) from there: It doesn't do it in apps that minminquard does..

[Xposed Framework Modules] wmarcin:
[MENTION=4981793]FatMinMin[/MENTION]: Thank you for your continued support until now. It was a good ride while it lasted. I think you should take into perspective that only a very small percentage of users will use ad blockers like yours. The vast majority of Android users never will. I understand why developers would like to be able to have their ads remain unblocked - it's their hard earned revenue. I would also like to see an honest account of what percentage of the revenue they are losing as a result of ad blocking.

It seems that every software platform has ads, as well as ad blockers. Android is no exception.

I can totally dig that you choose to take the higher ground and go with the developers on this one. Kudos to you, and good luck with your future endeavors!

[Xposed Framework Modules] lmike6453:
Thanks for elaborating and thanks for all of your hard work!

If I may say my opinion, ad blockers should be allowed and morally accepted! And this is why...

A developer chooses different methods to get paid, whether he/she just sells the app off of the Play Store for its features or if they want some ad revenue

Either way, ad revenue will still come in for the developers if we block ads because the ads are still seen by those who do not use MinMinGuard, a.k.a. most of the Android population. Make sense?

Because a developer chooses to make their money via ads, doesn't mean we should accept this as a standard of making money via developing android applications. The XDA portal article that was posted does not cover enough perspectives in my opinion, and you guys have a right to your own opinion if you disagree with mine, I understand

I pay for pro versions if they exist, but even then this tool would help to get rid of the last traces of tracking.Sometimes there is no way to get rid of nasty ads in certain apps.I think fighting back is ok.The tool is default to not block anyway. I will miss it
[Xposed Framework Modules] CrashTestDroid:
I disagree because many ads are not only intrusive into usable screen area but also invasive to your privacy. The major ad providers all track the heck out of us and by running ads you're enabling if not encouraging it. Some ads, such as in Helium, reduce the usable screen area to comically small proportions so my Note 3 feels like an iphone. Thankfully there's a paid version of Helium so nobody is stuck with only an ads version, but some apps are ads-only with no paid version, or users live in countries where paid isn't an option.

If the ad companies were ethical I could see your point but they're not ethical so blocking ads is still right and good.

TV program can still earn money even if you do not watch the ads, but app developer can not get money if you block the ads. That's what I think and I feel like I was doing piracy when I saw that article and [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]'s Google+ post. I made MinMinGuard for fun and practicing. I think I should not harm other developers' revenue by developing this module. Still I am really thankful for all the people love MinMinGuard. I learned a lot when I develop this module. I will still continue working on other project like the NetworkSpeedIndicator. XDA is a really great place for me to learn how to develop. Thanks for all the people here!

One was extreme paranoia and the other is just guilt. Both good devs but life goes on and others will take their place.

I agree with the first part for sure. Such a small fraction use it anyways. I really doubt any or at most very little is lost. Paid apps are always an alternative. Truth is... This is a hobby for most of us and you can't expect to make a living off of apps unless you're a huge developer or something. This has been an old issue since ads started on apps and always will be a debate between folks. Good luck to Fatminmin since this was a warmup project. Can wait to see what he comes up with next!

I (or anyone) should not bawl over apps, it sounds, or is ridiculuous but....

This time might be among those times...

It has never been a week this sad my entire life in hex and binary world.

I can only wish both apps are not undone, they're amongst the most clever app/dev i ever met.

And I really wish both would not be undone (somehow, anyhow). And I really hope and mean that.

Noticing how much I've posted the past two weeks since joining xda in 2009 as a user, its because I'm so excited. Now my heart was broken.

(I only have the 'actual' computer/internet today since last month, so I missed the announcement and only because I tried to take a look at github source and its already gone I realized the golden goose has flown away. I'm not usually regretted not having the pc at certain times, but this time I really felt the lost)

edit:

i remembered, i've actually felt this lost once. it's when Scott R. Lemmon passed away in 2004, because he is such a great person (to quote the article: Scott's genius is very evident in his legacy to the World Wide Web in fighting spyware and protecting their privacy thru Proxomitron. Everyone loved Scott and his work .... His work touched so many lives).

this time no one dies (but apps) but i felt like two of my close friends passed away one after another. its so, so sad :crying::crying:
[Xposed Framework Modules] simonbigwave:
for me minminguard was one of the best apps ever. hope someone else continues this project somwhere. i personally really hate ads and feel ads are an intrusion, whether the app is free or not. yes, developers have freedom to choose financing thru ads. but shouldn't users have a choice to not see them somehow? why? because if the ad is irritating, it actually has a "negative" effect on the advertiser. if there was an Pepsi ad on every app I would totally avoid buying Pepsi... my feeling is surely there must b a win-win scenario for the user experience vs developer revenue vs advertising? perhaps a fully branded app like how Android + kitkat did joint branding. no one complains about kitkat, right? mayb thats a direction in the future? eg a Philz - Toblerone recovery or Titanium-Coke backup ... dunno.

[Xposed Framework Modules] poo706:
I'm curious. Even before I used adblockers, I never once clicked on an ad. If the ad companies are concerned with clicks, isn't the app maker still not making any money because of me? Otherwise, if the ad companies are concerned how many people have the app installed, how could they know how many were actually seeing the ad versus those blocking it? And if they don't know, then the app maker should still make the same amount of money from the ad companies regardless, right?

[Xposed Framework Modules] PunchUp:
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think an app can recognise the advertisement URLs being blocked. Haven't you noticed how some websites request to turn off adblock plus on the browser?
