Re:

Thank you for testing. You're right there's some more issues. I was able to unlock the phone with the fingerprint sensor once but I guess this should work a little bit more smoothly. Face camera image is vertically flipped. Normal phone operation seems to be OK, battery runtime also. Didn't examine core load nor install Google apps so I can't say anything about it. All in all it looks quite usable but needs a little bit of fine tuning :)
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Micka84:
Flashed your ROM yesterday (coming from an unofficial cm14.1 build) and till now everything runs smooth. I didn't flash recovery.img since I already had twrp flashed and flashing opengapps was also successful. Fingerprint sensor is working too. The camera quality is bad, but that's what I have with every custom ROM.

Issues I found out so far:

- registering the fingerprint sensor for purchases in the play store doesn't work, play store closes upon trying to set it up

- the volume when calling can't be changed

Maybe there's something else but I'm really satisfied. I hope you keep on updating the rom jtk_de

The reason I ask this question is that SonyLOS (github.com/SonyLOS) has been removed.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rackers:
Hi all,

I've got an M8S that is stuck in a boot loop. It was running 5.0.1 and wanted to update to 6.0. That update failed and the phone would be reboot back into Android fine. I decided to factory reset to see if that would get the update to work but the phone just bootloops after running the Optimising Apps screen.

I don't know what to do next because I cannot find an RUU to match my system or an OTA that'll work unless I'm just doing something wrong.

OS is 1.21.161.1

Fastboot returns the following;

Thanks for looking.

Can we change/edit the local file FILTERHOSTS.TXT?

Will it get downloaded again and over-written?
[Android Apps and Games] vault1965:
Great app, thanks for heads up.
[Android Apps and Games] iz-):
By default it will be overwritten. But you can add custom filters within the dnsfilter.conf (see filter.host = true|false settings).

Alternativly it is possible to disable the automated filter download so that the FILTERHOST.TXT won´t be overwritten.

Just check dnsfilter.conf file for details. It contains a good documentation of the different settings.
[Android Apps and Games] kevvyc:
Sorry, these might be some dumb questions, but really trying to get this to work on an Android phone running 7.1.1:

1) do I need to check "Advanced settings" in order for those settings to work? If I don't check it, I can't scroll down to view the logs, unless I'm missing something

2) Also, any reason why some of my custom entries in the "Advanced settings" doesn't work? (I put in entries to be filtered and those are still allowed in the log and entries to be allowed, but those are still blocked.) I've hit Reload filter and Restart and sometimes it works, but more often it doesn't.

3) Lastly, any reason why other times my entire "Advanced settings" erases? How can I get those entries to persist?

Thanks for putting this app together, hopefully once I know what's going on I'll be able to use it much better.

Kevin
[Android Apps and Games] t-ryder:
Advanced settings unfolds when clicked, set values, untick and the put in values are active but hidden in the GUI. Set a custom reload intervall for testing to see (days until next reload).

Use a text editor to edit the right files inside the pDNSf folder in your storage. You will find examples and descriptions there. Just have a look at the even more advanced settings playing around with the configuration files. Quit the client, edit files, start the client again and reload.
[Android Apps and Games] iz-):
Yes .... better edit the dnsfilter.cfg file. In addition: the advanced settings within the GUI only allows to edit the filter URL and reload interval. In case invalid values are added, it will be reset to the previous valid entries (Check for messages in the log area)
[Android Apps and Games] kevvyc:
Thanks for the heads up guys. I was looking in the Android/data folder for the settings, but I should have just looked at the root folder. Okay, I've got everything to work now!

FYI; I created a fork of the app. Not much changes, just for fun and learning.

https://personaldnsfilter.t-ryder.de
[Android Apps and Games] kindlyoldbear:
Can you please advise what the difference is in your fork? All I can see is that yours supports v5+ while the original supports 4.2, but I don't know why.

[Android Apps and Games] Muelamir:

Using android 6 the fork version doesn't install (not rooted phone), whereas the original does. How do I know why?
[Android Apps and Games] bond32:
Such an underrated app... Works fantastic on pixel 2 xl, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bond32:
Been experimenting, bouncing between ad blockers. On Pixel 2 XL, latest DP2 of Android P. PersonalDNSfilter works great. I mainly like how simple it is and it doesn't have a persistent notification or icon.

I can't seem to switch back to the app though, is that by design? I was able to add host sources just fine but multitasking back to the app, I have to enter it from the app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] t-ryder:
Seems like you are using my RyderBuild if you do not have it in recent apps. That's by purpose because usually you have pDNSf running in the background not opening the GUI very often.

The original version by Ingo Zenz is different regarding that detail. The RB version is how I like it.

Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A5010 mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] t-ryder:
I just updated the app to version 180517.1 giving it a more like material design UI. Like a mix of flat UI and material.

I did not add dependencies or libraries - the app is still veeeery tiny (83.4KB).

The RyderBuild project got a website, a sourceforge page and a facebook page by now.

Official website - https://personaldnsfilter.t-ryder.de

SF - https://sourceforge.net/projects/personaldnsfilter-rb/

fb - https://www.facebook.com/Personal-DNS-Filter-RB-1667632323351673

IZ maintains the gitHub page of the original project... https://github.com/IngoZenz/personaldnsfilter

And I just realized there is another custom version for or from AdZHosts France https://github.com/IngoZenz/personaldnsfilter/tree/AdZHosts-Version

Says it can't be installed on my device.

Unknown sources is enabled.

Device Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Special Edition.

Android version is Marshmallow on my device.
[Android Apps and Games] t-ryder:
You tried to install the RyderBuild on Android 6.x and could not install it?

I need more details. Did you have the original version installed before?

Or the AdZHosts build?

Tried a clean install?

1) Close the app

2) Uninstall any version of personalDNSfilter

3) Open your file explorer and delete the folder /PersonalDNSFilter on your storage

4) Install the latest version of personalDNSfilter RB with updated settings

If you want to add your own changes again using a text editor after the full update / clean install do not forget to backup your edited files before deleting the folder!
[Android Apps and Games] dogiex:
Will try tomorrow. Original app installed and runs fine, RB does not. I will report how it goes tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] t-ryder:
If you got the original version please uninstall it, delete the mentioned folder from storage and install RB. If you got the original version installed and try to install RB it will not work. Both apps got the same package name but different signature. You can not have both and you can not update the original app by IZ with the build by me.

[Android Apps and Games] Sayueri:
I've tested the Zenz build and T-ryder fork on 4 devices. 2 phones running Nougat 7.1, 1 phone running Marshmallow 6.0.1 and 1 tablet running Lollipop 5.1. The Zenz build installed fine on all 4. I could install the T-ryder fork on all 3 phones but not on the tablet. I would get a message that said the app couldn't be installed.

They both seem to do a good job blocking ads. I had no issues with any websites I regularly visit using Chrome, Firefox and DuckDuckGo. The only app I had a problem with was google duo. I couldn't make or receive video calls with dnsfilter turned on. If I turned it off, duo would work. This was the case with the Zenz build and T-ryder fork. No issues making or receiving video calls using Whatsapp.

Using version 180518.0 of the t-ryder fork, I had issues trying to edit the filter lists. My keyboard wouldn't pop up when I tapped in the box so I couldn't change any settings. I didn't have this issue with the previous version or with the Zenz build.
[Android Apps and Games] t-ryder:
Clean install?

I can not reproduce that on Android 8.1 with Google keyboard. Right now I got problems with Android studio and virtualization. So atm I can not test further. With the 180517.0 build it was ok?

[Android Apps and Games] androidfive:
Can you add the whitelist in the App?

And is the zip for flashing?
[Android Apps and Games] t-ryder:
Check the config file inside internal storage folder /PersonalDNSfilter - there you can add whitelisted domains or respectively set true false for blocking domains using a text editor.

On both websites (RyderBuild and Ingo Zenz original build) the ZIPs are not for flashing. RyderBuild ZIP conatins the sources and info files. Ingo Zenz build ZIP contains sources or the full pack for Windows and other OS with Java suport.
[Android Apps and Games] androidfive:
I know this with config, but can you add this to thr App?
[Android Apps and Games] t-ryder:
I will not. Maybe IZ will.

Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A5010 mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Sayueri:
Yes and Yes. Had the same issue with build 180521.0.

Just to add to what androidfive asked, so the only way to whitelist an app/domain is by adding it to the config file? I'm trying to figure out how to whitelist google duo.
[Android Apps and Games] liott:
This app crashes* randomly on Lollipop. I reinstalled the kdz stock rom on my LG G2 to be sure. After 4 hours, I had already suffered 2 crashes.

I tried in vain to identify a cause.

My config: d802 Stock Rom + Root + TWRP + Xposed. Nothing else.

*unfortunately personalDNSfilter has stopped
[Android Apps and Games] t-ryder:
No logfile, no info which version of pDNSf, which build (original, Ryder build)... Your report is kind of useless.

Anyway, the ryder build will soon be discontinued. If you got problems with the ryderbuild, uninstall it and use the original. Report problems with proper info to Ingo Zenz then. Maybe open a report at GitHub.

[Android Apps and Games] liott:
Thanks t-ryder,

I should probably have started with a more positive assessment. I am successfully using personalDNSfilter on my tablet for 2 months and I'm very grateful to you for that.

I was primarily looking to see if other lollipop users were impacted as well.

So here are some more details : My Lollipop version is 5.0.2. But in the dnsfilter.conf folder there is such mention

I'm using personalDNSfilter version 1.50.17 (ryder build) and you can find log in attachment
[Android Apps and Games] t-ryder:
I meant something like a catlog log to see what causes the FC. But anyway as I wrote; from next week the RB will be stated as discontinued. Maybe IZ will have a look at my code changes that I consider as improvements, and take some of them to his build after comparing. Most stuff I did was modding the GUI. I suck at coding. I should put my time into art. I suck less regarding art. lol.

Have a look here http://zenz-solutions.de/personaldnsfilter/

You can still use the old config file from the ryder build for having nice host file sources. Or find out which settings are best for you. As you may know already; all you need is a text editor.

[Android Apps and Games] liott:
Undoubtedly, the trafficlog attachment was irrelevant ...

Also check the newest version: 1.50.20

[Android Apps and Games] androidfive:
Can you add Dark/amoled Theme?

Or add a Feature to personalize it?

With own Backgroundd Image? Or is it to much? ?
[Android Apps and Games] Sayueri:
Using version 1.50.21 on 6 phones (3 nougat, 3 marshmallow) and 4 tablets (2 nougat, 1 lineageos 14.1, 1 lollipop).

Uses less ram than other adblockers I've tried. Never had any issues with it being turned off or crashing. Even on devices with 1gb ram. Anything it doesn't block (or that you want to unblock) with the default hosts can be added to additional hosts. You'll probably have to tweak settings a bit more than with other adblockers but you'll have more control over what's blocked.

App and host whitelisting was added in version 1.50.20. Once I added Google Duo to app whitelist, video calls work fine. Didn't have any issues with WhatsApp but, for some reason, Google Duo wouldn't work with older versions of Personaldnsfilter.

Thank you to the developers. Keep up the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] t-ryder:
I guess Ingo wants to keep the app as small as possible.

It is about function, not style for this app.

Correct me if I am wrong, [MENTION=6634384]iz-)[/MENTION] - but any not really needed features

cause some more KB to the app size, and wasn't pDNSf about being very light and slim?
[Android Apps and Games] androidfive:
Does an Amoled theme increase the kb?
[Android Apps and Games] t-ryder:
If the theme is implemented in the main app, not in a amoled dark theme fork there need to be GUI elements for the settings and theme as well and additional xml files. So yes, a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] K-alz:
Finally an adblocker that actually worked for me. Thank you for this. Is there a setting that I am missing that enables me scroll down after ticking "advanced settings"? I can't scroll down anymore when it's ticked. I wanted to add extra hosts, but when I do, the bottom part of the app is gone. Sorry if this has been asked before. Overall, amazing app. Where is that donate link btw?
[Android Apps and Games] t-ryder:
Tick the setting, do your stuff. Untick, all is good and saved.

The GUI is very "special" compared to other apps and I would be willing to put more time in it again, but I am busy a lot and skinning apps for all the different Android versions can be quite annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] K-alz:
No worries. You're doing a fantastic job. Thank you so much.

As T-Ryder explained - just uncheck Advanced settings and it will be saved.....

[Android Apps and Games] K-alz:
Question, what do greens and reds mean? And if the reds are bad should I take them and paste them into the "configure additional hosts" section?
[Android Apps and Games] iz-):
The reds are the hosts which are filtered and the greens those which pass through.

So if the greens are bad you can put them to additionalhosts to get them filtered. Putting the red ones there doesn't make sense except for whitelisting them with a "!" in front.
[Android Apps and Games] K-alz:

Thanks Devs!

Couple of observations....

The scrolling log window doesn't seem to scroll when a new line appears.

UI is a bit clumsy (I understand its function over aesthetics!)

I'd really love to see tasker integration...so one could automatically start/stop the all (connect/disconnect vpn)...along the lines of when I leave home, start the app, and stop when back at home. I use Pi-Hole at home.

It would also be awesome if the generated log file made a not of how many domains are currently being blocked.

Is is possible (or restricted by Android?) tinder which app is querying the domains seen in the log?

I've got to say though, this is the best DNS based ad blocker I've tried, and I've tried a lot!

I have a Nokia 7.1 that was updated to android pie today. After updating to pie, Personaldnsfilter (version 1.50.27) no longer blocks ads in apps (Bejeweled Classic, Twitch) or browsers (Chrome, DuckDuckGo). The log shows stuff in red being blocked but the ads still pop up. I've tried reinstalling the app, resetting everything to default, reloading filters, closing and reopening app but nothing works so far. Everything was fine with the same phone when it was running Oreo.
[Android Apps and Games] t-ryder:
On my Pixel 2 XL with latest Android pDNSf works as it should. No problems with Android P. Try this; quit, go to apps in settings, delete cache and data of pDNSf, go to your storage, delete the app folder (maybe backup first if you changed/added stuff), uninstall pDNSf and reinstall it.

Edit your settings and try.
[Android Apps and Games] Sayueri:
Thanks for the quick response. I tried your suggestions with no luck. Personaldnsfilter still doesn't block any ads on my phone. I tried another adblocker and that one seemed to work fine. Really hope I can get Personaldnsfilter to work tho. Since finding Personaldnsfilter, it's what I use on all my mobile devices for adblocking.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

[MENTION=9166553]Sayueri[/MENTION] is it really in apps too? Not just chrome?

For chrome try this:

• Launch Chrome app

• Enter the URL “chrome://flags”, without quotes, into the address bar

• You will see a new window with many flags. Search for “dns”

• Set the “Async DNS” option to “Disabled” and close the tab

• Restart chrome and test

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I recommend using https://someonewhocares.org/hosts/hosts as additional hosts source.
[Android Apps and Games] Sayueri:
Problem solved. This took care of the ads in Chrome. I think I know why I was seeing ads outside of Chrome.

When I saw ads in Chrome after updating to pie, I reset everything in personaldnsfilter back to default. The default lists don't block all ads in apps I use. That's why I use different hosts lists. I forgot about this detail and thought personaldnsfilter wasn't working on pie at all. Now that I have all settings back to how I want, I'm not seeing any ads.

Question: any thoughts of adding a coinblocker list to the default hosts? With all the cryptomining these days, I think something like Zerodot1's coinblocker list should be included.
[Android Apps and Games] t-ryder:

Possible good addition with the crypto mining blocker.

Ingo aka iz would have to implement that. I just do some support, translation and GUI tinkering. Thanks for your feedback.
