AdShield

DOESN'T REQUIRE CUSTOM KNOX KEY!

Just download and install​

F.A.Q.

Q: Why is this not in the Google Play?

A: I don't have a developer account because I'm not 18 yet. If you can buy me an account, I'll worship you.

Q: Licence activation failed. What can I do?

A: Uninstall other ad blockers that use KNOX (Adhell, Adhell 2, Disconnect pro), connect to wifi, make sure you're not rooted, reboot, reinstall app. If nothing works - get a custom knox key and use that (how-to bellow). Other than that - I can do nothing.

Q: Which file to download?

A: Download lowest attached file. It should have highest number.

Q: Certain websites are blocked. How do I enter them?

A: Put them in the whitelist. App>Settings>Edit Blocked URLs>Whitelist Custom URLs.

Q: Why so many permissions?

A: All of them are needed.

Q: Does it block ads on Samsung Internet browser?

A: It blocks ads everywhere.

Q: Which Ad Blocker is the best right now?

A: At the moment this. Free, has all the features other ad blockers have and has full material design. See attached pictures of features and history

Q: How does it work?

A: https://seap.samsung.com/sdk/knox-standard-android

How to install:

Download lowest apk file (with the highest number) from down bellow.

Install apk file.

Licence doesn't activate/I want to use my own KNOX key:

Sign in with your Samsung account here: https://seap.samsung.com/enrollment

Enroll as a developer.

Generate Knox Standard SDK Enterprise license key here: https://seap.samsung.com/license-keys (use any alias. If you already have a key, you can reuse it)
