Hi @ XDA!

I'm the developer of Blokada, a simple to use ad blocker for Android that works for all apps and doesn't require root. The idea is to make the app very simple to use, almost unnoticeable in daily operation, yet perfectly functional. I'm asking the awesome xda community to take a look, give feedback, and have fun!

You can find all the important links at blokada.org

The app is uploaded to XDA Labs!

Your feedback is appreciated! Hope you'll find it useful ! :)

[Android Apps and Games] hackel:
I take it this is another local VPN blocking solution? What licence is it released under? I wouldn't trust any VPN that all my data is passing through unless it's open source, so I would highly recommend moving in that direction. Would you say the primary advantage over NetGuard is ease of use? I personally need much finer-grain control of per-app host blocking, but I can see how this could be very useful to others.
[Android Apps and Games] salmanfarisy:
So simple! And it supports Android 4+ which is nice because DNS66 supports only Android 5+.

Some Questions :

Where is the location of the hosts file(s)? Can I modify the hosts file(s)?

Suggestion:

What I want is ability to block image (do not download image to reduce data usage). Because it is unwanted content for me and this way can reduce data usage too.
[Android Apps and Games] MightBeDylan:
I've tried it and I love it, but my one request is a QS tile for Android 7+ for easily toggling the VPN
[Android Apps and Games] kar:
Thanks for the feedback so far guys and keep it coming. I really appreciate it!

Correct. It's not open sourced as of yet, but it's in my plans. If Blokada is received well, I'd like to build up a community around it, with plugins etc.

Well NetGuard is quite a different beast, it's a firewall with per-app blocking. Blokada is an ad blocker. Tech behind both is similar, but since there's quite a choice already of adblockers on Android, I want to focus Blokada on extreme ease of use (unless the community would want otherwise). That said, some configuration options, like the choice of filters, will come.

Currently hosts are fetched online (and cached) and are not modifiable. Some flexibility here is the #1 feature to come so stay tuned :)

Nice idea! I have added it to the feedback list.

Please post new ideas please post here bit .ly/blokada_ideas

Thanks! Added to the list.
[Android Apps and Games] x-fer:
I really like that it shows you what's being blocked in real time via notifications. Would there be a way to export a log in the future?
[Android Apps and Games] kar:
Added to ideas. Thanks!

Yeah the notification definitely helps you realise how much tracking is going on :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] x-fer:
What amazed me is the amount of ads that ping even on apps I've paid for the ad-free versions within the app. Just from a day of use I had over 2000 blocks. The weather channel app has been the worst offender so far.
[Android Apps and Games] moviti:
First of all, thanks for your great app！

Most of ads removed for mine, still some (may be local) ads remained. I am using this in Japan.

I understand your concept, ease of use first . if only some customization would be... (ex, extra choice of country ? something)

anyway thanks again, keep going!
[Android Apps and Games] kar:
You're right. The next release will include filter configuration options, so it'll be possible to use local lists or even custom filters.

Haha, from my experience free games are also pretty terrible in this regard!

Guys, thanks a lot for a very motivating feedback so far! Filter configuration and customization features are coming in the next release.

Can you add a whitelist? I don't want displayed ads (such as through Google app) to not work when I click them.

Thanks! Added to ideas.
[Android Apps and Games] bond32:
Tried it out, using it seems to keep the LG email app from syncing. Any ideas? This is on the LG V20, stock, 7.0. Every other ad blocking app that uses VPN except Adguard has the same issue.
[Android Apps and Games] kar:
Interesting. Could you give the play store link or exact name of this app?
[Android Apps and Games] bond32:
It's just called "Email".

Again, not to bring other apps in, but I've tried many other ad blocking apps and all have the same issue that prevents syncing except Adguard. I'd be happy to help anyway I can tho.
[Android Apps and Games] kar:
Thanks! I'll look into this after the release of filter configuration feature.
[Android Apps and Games] daleski75:
I got this to work once on my pixel running 7.1 but even though i grant the app vpn permissions it's unable to start. btw it's stock, non-rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] kar:
New release: 0.4-beta! Added filter configuration options

You can now swipe right to activate filter lists of your choosing. I have added the most common lists that work really well. If you long tap any list you will see some additional info about it.

I'm counting on your feedback about which hosts lists are you using so that I can add them to Blokada!

PS: [MENTION=1095206]daleski75[/MENTION], could you please try the new release and see if problem persists? Also try to reboot your device.
[Android Apps and Games] daleski75:
Works OK now thanks
[Android Apps and Games] salmanfarisy:
Any plan for custom block? By manually loading/importing self-built hosts file, or by manually adding host/url/domain to already exist hosts file. This is useful especially for blocking local/regional ads.

\Thanks for your time :good:
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheForgotten:
Probably you flashed the fix without needing it. Wipe everything and reflash the ROM without flashing that camera fix.

Anyways, if that doesn't fix, we'll need more information in order to help you :D

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] bozy09:
Heya guys,

So I was looking at the mi5s and I realised that some versions don't have a brushed back while some do. Does anyone have any information about this? Has it maybe got something to do with the capacity of the phone for example maybe the 32gb version isn't brushed but the 128gb is???

Thanks for your help
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] literadesign:
As some users pointed out, the brushed version is on the 128GB version but not on the other couple. I'm getting my 3/64 gray colour version today and I'll see whether it's brushed back or not. But I don't care about that as much as I do about the all-black front. I'll report.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] literadesign:
Got my phone today. I confirm that 3/64GB Gray version is NOT brushed. Beautiful nonetheless.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] jimmyss04:
Mine is a 4/128GB Silver version and it looks very similar to yours, not sure how to tell if brushed, but from the pictures it is like yours.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] bozy09:
Guys I have talked with a few Chinese resellers and they told me that the brushed versions aren't being manufactured even for the 128gb model :( . Its not so much a deal breaker but having it would be nice as it looks too 'normal' with the iphonish look going on.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] literadesign:
Maybe the gray/silver hue on yours is a bit lighter maybe not. Maybe backs are actually the same. Mine does have the full black front though which yours likely doesn't if you ordered silver...
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] bozy09:
The colours are different on the silver and grey model. The grey is slightly grey and the silver is a more light, silver colour. You can see the difference when your look at the contrast of the antenna line and the rest of the body in pictures.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] jimmyss04:
Probably will need to have the phones side by side to feel the difference... but I don't care about the brushed stuff, mine looks good :)

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] hejawi:
Hi all

so i have decided to buy P9

and i want to ask how is the performance and how is the camera shot

can someone give me some Pics ?

and the battery life is it really good ? how much would last if i'm using the phone only for browsing and calling ?

any advice to go with P9 single sim or Dual sim ?

does the NFC really needed or useful in anything beside payment ?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] clouds5:
Cam is very good for photography, mediocre at video. Performance is excellent. Battery lasts me almost always two full work days.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] MartinDimchev:
Same here! Amazing phone, there is a whole thread with camera samples. With one word - GREAT. Totally worth the money and as a device the only other device that's better for me is the Pixel phone right now. But still I like the design of P9 more, so I would get it over the Pixel any day :)

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] rhohpex:
Can somebody check the performance of p9 and post the results in uxbench that is available playstore for free with no ads and is developed by me?

For now the fastest of all are mi5s and s7 edge exynos as you can see in compare tab. I wonder how well the kirin 955 performs in terms of cpu and generally ux performance.

The test is quick to complete about 2 minutes.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] dedovec:
UXBench:
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] rhohpex:
Thank you!

Excellent performance! 955 is as fast as 821 and exynos in single core and leads the multicore by far!

The little slow performance on nand write speed did not let it be the fastest phone in user experience! But single and multicore performance is really out of this world!

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

Excuse me for deleting the second run. I just keep the best performance for every device.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] rhohpex:
I have seen someone posted a test run with very high score. Until now Huawei P9 is the king of UXbench.

I will send a request in Mate 9 forum to ask somebody to test the device. I wonder how far can go the 960 chip.

AICP​

Android Ice Cold Project​

AICP is known by everyone as Ice Cold Project that started on Desire HD and since then evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community you can find!!!

Until Lollipop, Rom has always been AOKP based. Unfortunately, since AOKP either stopped development or will make a comeback later this year, we changed our base to CM when it comes to hardware, drivers and some features.

If there are any bugs, either we will sort them or CM team if it concerns their modifications. This rom isn't CM supported so no need to report errors or bugs to them!!

Latest Stable Release Version 12.1

Download link: Unofficial AICP G5 builds

(Thanks to [MENTION=242016]metallica[/MENTION] for the Hoster !!!)

​

Full Changelog link: goo.gl/mIgmYG

​

Same as CM 14.1

You tell... :P

​

ROMS should contain everything you need to enjoy Lollipop. You are not required to install any Add Ons, simply download the latest ROM, gapps, flash it, and go!

You are STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing, and if possible avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup - these can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug. If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience strange behavior.

How to flash:

Don't do it if you don't know it

ROM has gapps persistance in between dirty flashes

KERNEL:

Kernel in this rom follows CM source with custom additions.

PREREQUISITE FOR OTA:

To be able to flash over OTA app, TWRP recovery is needed.

You can still use CWM and OTA app, but only to download zip file and flash it manually from within recovery. Zip gets saved under AICP_ota folder on your internal SDcard.

If you want to contribute to the AICP or wanna see what is being worked on/merge feel free to visit our gerrit, link is at the bottom!!!

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Floodland:
Nice Rom, fluid and working fine. Too soon to speak about battery consumption, but I see no major wakelocks to worry about at this point.

I found navigation bar button remapping (long press or double click) to take place, but does not stick after reboot.

At this point, it seems a much better option than stock. I will keep testing it, at least until it settles. Great job!

I can confirm. Long press "kill app" doesn't work. Can you fix IT?

Thx.[emoji6]
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Floodland:
It is working for me once set, but only until reboot.

I found an additional issue I could not resolve. Music is playing through the internal speaker, no but not once headphones are plugged (3.5 audio jack). I though it could be related to V4a, and uninstalled its drivers, but it was a no go.

Tried with music, and a different player (Jetaudio), both do the same: playback does not start (or continue playing if already working through speaker). I could upload a log if needed.

And, I do have a general question, for which I did not see explanation... Our devices have 2 small cores for general use that should be locked at 1.5ghz and two powerful ones which should top at 2.1ghz. Now, anywhere I look (stock, this Rom, kernel adiutor, 3ctoolbox, etc), I see 4 processors locked at top 1593mhz... No hotplug options and no way to control cores individually. Am I missing something or LG cheated on us?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] MetaIIica:
think this are all CM 14.1 related bugs...

Gesendet von meinem LG-H850 mit Tapatalk
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Floodland:
Got it regarding the audio bug, but I saw the same CPUs limitation in stock (1593mhz limit, no matter what). That is certainly not ok. Either there is some kind of control we are not aware of (hotplug hidden features), or LG crippled our device really bad. I did not found much information, but I cannot be the first who noticed it either... I must be missing something...

will your builds line up with the cm 14.1 builds as far as when one comes out for it you will build one with all the changes? The reason I ask I noticed kinglilrowrow stated that there were a lot of changes in his next update
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Pinu'u:
Good question !

At the moment I build with conquestdev repos, since it looks like they are a bit more up to date then cm14.1.

Was thinking about switching to cm, lets see how fast they pick up the fixes.

The builds I uploaded today are still conquestdev repo based. H850 should be ready to download, H830 upload started and should also be up in about one hour.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] azztech30:
Yes that would be fantastic :good: every CM rom so far has either no wide angle or no video recording keeps crashing also installing open camera does not fix the issue. Strangest thing is if you use Whatsapp camera it cycles through normal/wide then front facing camera wierd :eek:
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Pinu'u:
New builds with latest fixes are done.

Added wide angle snap, also vibration control as a goody...
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Pinu'u:
New Builds are up, latest fixes from conquestdev repos, also AICP is now fully supporting Substratum.

Check link in OP
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] DidierMoulin:
Thanks!

One question though; after reading lots of posts on substratum and AICP here and G+ I wonder if AICP in general is supporting substratum now (so maybe there will be a chance for it to stay, even if when the CMTE gets ready for cm 14.1 ) or if you have merged the OMS commits just in your build.

Ah, second question to anyone who knows: does an option exist to disable the power menu on lockscreen? Can't find anything, yet.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] leijonasisu:
Cerberus has this option. However it's an app that requires a subscription. Until then find an app that does this, or wait for Xposed Framework.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] DidierMoulin:
yep, there are other paid apps out there, too... So I take this as a no, just as I didn't find any option. But thank you!

Xposed - already waiting ... :p
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Pinu'u:
Think OMS will stay.

Have a look in AICP Extras,[Lockscreen] for your lockscreen problem, guess this is what you search.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] DidierMoulin:
Well... Thanks a lot!

Found the lockscreen option. Of course I had more than one look through the options (all of them and everywhere), so obviously it must have hidden itself when I was looking before [emoji11] - sorry for asking, I was blind and thanks again.
