This is in no way a replacement for Adaway. It doesnt block all ads, and frames are still present.

Besides you only block user apps and not system apps so its pretty pointless if it is on a per app base.

Pro tip: dont abandon Adaway

[Xposed Framework Modules] :
Although it's a bit harsh written I got to second that. The app title says "Best ad blocker" but it really isn't. I already plant to go back to AdFree because the module just doesn't block things most of the time. And I don't really understand why I have to enable it for each app rather than disabling it for apps I don't want to block.

I installed it because I liked the Xposed Module approach. Might come back in a few months.

Sorry dev, I appreciate your work nontheless. :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] kantjer:
For MinMinGuard works best in combination with traditional host file based ad blocking.

This Xposed module removes adds and blank spaces and when it for some reason it can't like in system apps the host file kicks in.

For example I use a weather app that despite having host file blocking was still showing an add every now and then. And when the add was blocked there still was an empty space at the bottom of the screen. Now with this module installed I never see an add again and the app is now displayed full screen.

I agree with you that for me an opt-out approach makes more sense than the current opt-in.
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
But I didn't have gaps neither on AdBlock nor on AdFree. The only reason I dismissed AdBlock was that it did deactivate itself sometimes and/or got stuck while updating the host files. But switching to Adfree fixed it.

But no gaps at all.

[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
The reason why I use opt-in approach is because I want users to enable it on apps that are really intrusive. As I mentioned in original post, I would like people who use adblocker can still support the free app developers by easily temporarily disabling MinMinGuard. But it sounds like my intention doesn't work for most of people here.
[Xposed Framework Modules] vNa5h:
Does this remove the imdb ad..

if yes then this is one friken module!!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] selemine:
people want no ads and free service, both for apps and for websites.That can't work
[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
Yes, it should. I tested it before.
[Xposed Framework Modules] vNa5h:
lots of posts in previous pages disagree.

anyway going to test it
[Xposed Framework Modules] kantjer:
I understand your intentions, and whenever possible I buy the pro version of apps to support developers.

The way I now use MinMinGuard is to select all and then go through the list to deselect. So it's almost the same as opt-out ;)

It is for me. Maybe the adservers depend on where you are based?
[Xposed Framework Modules] ecarlson:
It works for me. Out of the 100+ apps I have, I only want to block ads from 2 apps. MinMinGuard blocks ads from 1 of them, and as soon as you add AdSense blocking, it should take care of the other one. Thanks for creating this app, and please add AdSense blocking soon, since it is a very common ad service.

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

For all the people saying ads aren't blocked in this or that app, please use Addons Detector (from Google Play) or a similar app to identify which ad services are used by those apps, and include the list in your posts. It would be far more informative and helpful than just posting the app names.
[Xposed Framework Modules] manpildo:
Right, okay.

AdMob, AdSense, Burstly, GreyStripe, InMobi, JumpTap, Millenial.
[Xposed Framework Modules] selemine:
Chartboost seems to be missing as well
[Xposed Framework Modules] rob rich:
Thank you so much for that :) had 2 apps with ads and its working great for both :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
Could you give me an example app that uses AdSense? Since I can not find any sdk about AdSense for Android. Only Admob and DoubleClick.

https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/
[Xposed Framework Modules] jlmvc:
[MENTION=4981793]FatMinMin[/MENTION] Andoid Tuner Free, Gstrings,Bs Player, and Musixmatch are just some I can think of that use adsense
[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
I install all of them. Actually, they use Admob.

Ad network usage:

- Android Tuner Free: Admob

- GStrings: Admob

- Bs Player: Admob

- musiXmatch: Admob, InMobi, MoPub

MinMinGuard effect:

- Android Tuner Free: remove both ads and empty space.

- GStrings: remove ads

- Bs Player: remove ads. but the program will show an image if the ads is blocked.

- musiXmatch: remove both ads and empty space.

I think you may have a misunderstanding about AdSense and Admob. You could use ad detectors(i.e. AppBrain or other apps be mentioned in the previous post) to detect which ad network you apps is using. Then post it here. That will be helpful. :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] jlmvc:
I'm using Addon Detector to see which ad networks are being used by my apps. All of the apps I mentioned say Adsense and Admob. Some other examples it says are using AdSense are Tapatalk, Xda Free, Wanam Exposed, Ar Compass, and others. The only two I care about are Android Tuner Free and gstrings. Actually, when you run Android Tuner Free, it doesn't show ads until the second time you run it.

I would not post unless I were sure. If Addons Detector is not accurate, then I apologize for wasting your time. However, I'm not the only one to post about Adsense ads.
[Xposed Framework Modules] arjiegodz:
is it impossible to block a pop up ads? true this app can block the ads from bottom and top but there are ads that just pop up. so is that possible to be remove??? tried every adblocker but pop up ads cant be block. :(
[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
Cause I think AdSense and Admob already integrated together. I just disassemble some of the apps you listed and I found they use DoubleClick(Also provided by Google (maybe parts of old Adsense)). I will add that in the next version. Thanks for reporting anyway. :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] jlmvc:
Thanks for helping out. It would be very nice if those Ads could be blocked. Regardless, I appreciate your work and quick responses. Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
System apps can be listed by enabling "show system apps" in MinMinGuard Settings from 1.6.5
[Xposed Framework Modules] jawz101:
Can you keep a list of the ad networks blocked somewhere so we don't have to sift through old changelogs?
[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
Yeah, I will add this to the original post.

[Xposed Framework Modules] jelle2503:
Kind of feel like a **** after my last comment really. Sorry. More constructive post wouldve been better but had no idea this is in dev still, i see you can now block system apps. Good update, since in stock aosp Youtube is system app. Must block youtube ads!

I dont get how that was not suggested or added yet.

I just think i expected a bit too much maturity from this module seeing it being "best ad blocker".

I do really hope i can one day abandon adaway.

Good luck and again apology. Didnt mean to bash your work.

[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
Never mind that. What you said is correct actually. The name of "The Best Ad blocker" was trying to catch attention for the very beginning. There are still a lot of improvements need to be done. I will try to make this module better to match the name.;)

ps: I don't think MinMinGuard can block the ads in the videos of Youtube.(Cause it's different from the normal ads) I added the option to show system apps since there were some people said some of verizon's system apps still contain ads.

Good luck to you too. And happy lunar new year.;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] arjiegodz:
why no answer? so is this impossible to block?
[Xposed Framework Modules] cmlx:
The ad of AppSales seems very strange, could MinMinGuard remove it forever?
[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
That is called InterstitialAd. I do block InterstitialAd for some ad networks. But I missed some ad networks.

If you want me to solve that problem. Please give me the name of the app and which ad network it uses.
[Xposed Framework Modules] power2top:
[MENTION=4981793]FatMinMin[/MENTION]: I think a bug has been introduced since some previous versions of MinMin. Previously if you remember, I had requested to kepe blocking ads/downloaded images in apps even when internet was turned off and you had told that yes you would add that feature. The MinMinGuard at time was blocking bottom static image of RootBrowser app very well when internet was ON. BUT the latest MinMinGuard does not!!(and cud be since few prev. versions also). RootBrowser is selected for blocking in MinMinGuard yet it does not block the downloaded/static image even when internet is ON!! BTW, I even tried recursive parent view block but that also does not help. The yellow root browser image is still shown. Previously MinMin was blocking it when internet was ON. Pls check. The yellow root broser image is not an ad but an image wonder how MinMin was blocking it very well but not now :( Pls add that feature back. incl. block when offline.
[Xposed Framework Modules] tariq2kn:
Once again thanks. Beautiful app. Keep up the good work. :thumbup:
[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
Fixed by adding Tapfortap ad network in v1.7.0. Check it out.;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
v1.7.0 can show detected ad network for api based blocking like the screenshot in original post. But you have to execute apps first for detection.
[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
It's a really good idea to let user to disable ga for apps. I will try to implement it when I am free. I only problem I encounter now is I don't have enough time to improve this module. That's why the progress is slow lately.
[Xposed Framework Modules] kalel29:

Why does MinMinGuard ask about my serial?
[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
I never ask for serial. I know if you use Xprivacy, it will prompt a dialog said that. But I never ask it actually. I found some apps that list installed apps also prompt that dialog. Maybe Xprivacy think who use PackageManager has the privillege to know the serial. If you are still not sure, you can trace the code on Github.

[Xposed Framework Modules] fenderwhite:
Can you please take a look at these apps?

First of all, I really like your work! This is fascinating. :D

I'm currently using Nexus 5 and Android 4.4.2 with your latest app.

1) Subway Navigation: net.orizinal.subway (Play Store package name, I cannot put URLs in the post...)

MinMinGuard successfully detects the ads in the app and it says they are AdMob & Inmobi.

But still, when I start the app, there's an ad in downside of the main screen.

2) MX Player: com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad (Play Store package name, I cannot put URLs in the post...)

It seems like MinMinGuard is not detecting the ads in this app at all.

There are ads in the file list and in the play screen when you pause the video.

I'll really appreciate it if you could take a look at these apps.

Anyway I'm always using your app happily.

Have a nice day!

[Xposed Framework Modules] selemine:
Now that MinMinGuard ads a note to an application with the detected frameworks i noticed some diffrences between this application and addons detector.

Tapatalk Pro:

Addons Detector: Android NDK & Google Cloud Messaging

MinMinGuard: AdMobs & Flurry

TuneInRadio Pro:

Addons Detector: Android NDK & Google Cloud Messaging

MinMinGuard: Millenial & MoPub

So does Addons Detector miss them or is MinMinGuard too strict?

Also i suggest to add a few more Networks:

ChartBoost , SubwaySurfer and TempleRun 2

APPBrain , APPBrain Ad Detector

AdColony, SubwaySurfer
[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
The ad network detection approach of MinMinGuard should be the most precise one among all the existing detection approaches. Since I detect the real "ad network sdk instance".

ps: Android NDK is native developement kit and Google Cloud Messaging(GCM) is a message pushing library. They are neither ad networks.;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] selemine:
I know,I was just wondering why the results differ. APPbrain also detects more of these development libs and frameworks than addons detector. I just was confused by detected ads in a pro version
[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
Pro version also include ad networks' sdk. Just not load ads. However those ad sdk also include trackers.(gathering more data than google analytics). Most of Pro version apps still have those ad trackers enabled.

That's how this kind of data came from.

About AppSales weird ad content, I guess it may be caused by hosts redirect. If I make my hosts file blank, all MinMinGuard works great with appsales, but if I use hosts file to redirect ad link to 127.0.0.1, AppSales will show blank ad content and MinMinGuard cannot remove this blank.
[Xposed Framework Modules] _jis_:
That AppSales weird ad content may be caused by hosts redirect introduced from AdAway which some of us are using together with MinMinGuard. So there is no solution, because MinMinGuard still doesn't block ads in browsers, so we must use AdAway for that.

Right, so I wonder if I can remove Madvertise item from hosts file to check AdAway&MinMinGuard work together, I only find one item "127.0.0.1 ad.madvertise.de", don't know anything else.
[Xposed Framework Modules] _jis_:
I have two madvertise lines in the hosts file:

127.0.0.1 madvertise.de

127.0.0.1 ad.madvertise.de

So I put *madvertise.de on AdAway's whitelist and reboot. These two lines disappeared from hosts file, but it doesn't help, because AppSales still show blank ad content. I must Disable ad blocking in AdAdway completely, only after that is MinMinGuard able to remove ad in AppSales.

Yes, checked means it's blocked. The second option attempts to hide the empty space left by the add. And the third I believe enables logging so that you can see what the app is doing in the background.

[Xposed Framework Modules] sumit227:
I am using this module also and I think it work as same way as AdAway did and I don't found much difference in both apps.
[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
For some apps. Using AdAway or AdBlock can not remove the empty space cause by the adtervisement. But using MinMinGuard can remove that annoying empty field. You can tell the difference in the example.:o
[Xposed Framework Modules] power2top:
This module will be an awesome module it is can block all ads in the apps + Website ads(must have for mass adoption). Something ala adblock plus of firefox, where you down press on an ad and it shows options to adblock and provide various patterns you can add to block similar pattern matching ads. Nirvana if these two places of blocking ads were added. adaway/adfree/adblock's way of implementation on android is not the right way(adding hosts in hosts.conf) since I might want to block ad/image from a particular pattern but not the whole host.

[Xposed Framework Modules] jawz101:
From the description it sounds like this is something you'd want to install in addition to an ad blocking app as it doesn't actually block the downloading of an ad. It just suppresses any visual artifacts from an ad showing in the app. I'd imagine it isn't perfect unless it knows every which way a programmer embeds ads in their app and, regardless, it still isn't blocking the download off the ad.
[Xposed Framework Modules] wantabe:
That would be sweet if somehow we could put an end to that "harassment." ;) I'll have to take some screenshots so I can remember which apps do that. I'm thinking Accuweather Platinum is one but that's a guess, I do know that the nag screens happen too often. 98% of the apps I use are paid apps, partially because I don't want to see the damn ads. And I wouldn't mind rating the app if signing up for Google+ wasn't a prerequisite. Seriously... being nagged to rate an app that you've already paid for is ridiculous!
[Xposed Framework Modules] sanganisahil:
Thanks a ton bro!!!!!!

I will try and tell you my experience.
[Xposed Framework Modules] FatMinMin:
I actually block the api call before the ad download and this way can block all the ads from supported ad networks. If you are interested in how I implement MinMinGuard, you can trace my code on GitHub.:o
[Xposed Framework Modules] polobunny:
That's a good start, but as noted there's still ads from other ads networks that aren't getting blocked, so it makes using a host file still a necessity. How can we submit other ads to block?
[Xposed Framework Modules] faiyo:
Adblock for android doesn't use hosts file. It uses patterns to find html elements and removes them. Same as the browser plugin
[Xposed Framework Modules] power2top:
Yes but have seen users complaining about its resource hungry-ness and it does not auto-collapse the adspace of blocked ads which this module claims to do thus if url based blocking is added to this module besides API based blocking for various ad-networks then it will be Best combo.
