[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mike B.:
Remember that SABS/AdHell is simply a way to tell Knox to block the domains you select, it's not really an "ad blocker" (there is no such thing). It's pretty much up to you to decide which domains you wish to block, keeping in mind that some apps and ads simply cannot be blocked. The 3000+ blocks you mention probably only involve very few discrete domains that were blocked many times. For fun, sort that list, get rid of duplicates (use wildcards!) and see for yourself. Most users only block a few dozen domains. My personal list has currently only about 60 entries (stored on the SD card), my SABS/AdHell version only runs briefly at boot time to launch the Knox firewall, and I almost never see any ads.No battery drain, no wasted RAM, no headaches... ;)

Assuming that "NotSABS" hasn't changed anything important from the original SABS, if you have a working version, keep using it, but it's unsupported and you're on your own. By contract, AdHell3 is active and supported, and is generally more refined, with more convenience options. Whatever you do, only use ONE of those at a time, never both.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] GallardosEggrollShop:
yep replied above!

anyway, im not sure to stay with NotSABS or move to Adhell3 though, suggestion guys?[/QUOTE]

Oops overlooked it, sorry! I like NotSABS but I may jump onto Adhell3 since it's being worked on and is currently supported.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] blecap:
yea totally understood that its no longer being support and stuff. that is why i was asking whether to stay or move on to adhell. u can google NotSABS, last update of anything is like a month. man u gotta share the hostfile bud. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mike B.:
"NotSABS" is not a separate project, it's merely an unauthorized (of questionable legality) repost of one of the last few public SABS builds before Samsung banned its distribution. That said, if it AdHell2, SABS, or even "notSABS" works for you, there is no obvious need to switch. Check the AdHell3 repo for details on its current developments.

One often overlooked reality of "ad blocking" is that sharing a hostfile is pointless since we all use different apps and browse different sites from different locations through different ISPs. All the files you find online merely try to block everything possible, hoping that YOUR particular needs are covered. Use one or more of those input files as a starting point if you wish, but consider using the approach I suggested THERE in the old SABS thread. The few people who tried that challenge and shared their results with me typically came up with a list of 100-150 domains (mostly wildcards) at the very most. Use the list you so create as your only input, run SABS/AdHell at startup long enough to launch the Knox firewall, then you can close it and forget about "ad blocking" until your next reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] blecap:
Ah. lack of knowledge. Now i get it :) So I assume Adaway is the same thing? Just asking i dont have any intention to root atm. So far notSABS is doing just fine as I mentioned earlier, I do still see ads but not to a point it is that irritating.

Oh and thanks for that link!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mike B.:
AdAway is essentially a tool to edit the system/etc/hosts file that is used for local DNS lookup. That file is a list of domain names, similar to an AdHell input file except that it won't accept wildcards. Unfortunately, AdAway also tries to get involved with the specifics of various partial rooting methods and is a bit too messy for comfort.

Basically all DNS/firewall schemes accomplish the same thing when asked to block or redirect the same domains. This is not to be confused with utilities that directly manipulate the actual contents of web pages, such as the "AdBlock" family, but that story is for another thread... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jkxs:
Ok I did a hard reset yesterday due to the growing number of crashes when the device first turned on (when it loads up the app icons/homepage). Unfortunately, even after the hard reset and not using any other knox tools (I only have my google play apps and 2 "unknown source" apps microG/iytbp), my device did the crash today when I turned it on. I am not disabling any apps and the only thing I have on Adhell 3 is the regular domain rules and a firewall rule to block port 53 on Chrome (to block chrome ads). It only crashed twice so far so as time goes on, I think the crashes may become more common.

I am on adhell build 114 and provider list was updated just now.

After a crash, the SD card is not recognized (does not show up as being inserted). If I turn off the firewall rule and only use the domain rules, the crashes stop.

Turning of async DNS makes Chrome ads stop (https://www.androidsage.com/2018/01/25/how-to-fix-adhell-2-not-working-chrome/).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ZionMainframe:
Adhell2 stopped working after oreo update.

Just updated my device to Oreo given by Samsung OTA.

But adhell2 stopped (which was also previously working on my nougat). It says "Adhell is not supported on your device."

Also tried sabs, which is also not working. I have a valid key and have activated the license with no issues. But sabs is saying "Blocked in the last 1 day:0" in the recent activity tab. Ads are not blocked in any of the apps.

I'm I missing anything?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mike B.:
I suggest you seek support in the AdHell3 repo on GItLab, but I suspect that [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION] will need proper logs of your crashes before he can help you. Before you spend too much time on this, however, make sure you delete any old AdHell3 database from your device.

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 AM ----------

AdHell2/SABS should work fine under Oreo for unrooted, Knox-enabled S8/S9/N8 and similarly recent devices. but you forgot to mention which device you have. Since the old SABS thread is still available for reading, search for references to your device there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jkxs:
Hi Mike, thanks for replying/trying to help people in this thread. I believe the issue was the firewall rules. Ever since I turned that off, the crashes stopped. The reason I turned on firewall rules was because Chrome ads were not being blocked, but turning off async DNS does the same thing.

I am on a note 8 on Oreo 8.0.0screenshot of phone software info page

Also, if I did a full reset, wouldn't that automatically wipe any old adhell 3 database from my device? I formatted my SD card as well.

Thanks for your reply. My device is s7 edge-oreo. I was wondering if this issue could happen due the knox version differences between devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mike B.:
I'm not sure about AdHell2, but if I remember correctly, SABS was working acceptably with Oreo on S7 with only a few minor inconveniences (no history of blocked domains?). Review the old SABS thread for details.

AdHell3 might fare better but I'm afraid I can no longer recommend it for most users as it's now getting a lot more complicated than necessary, for example by trying to determine what type of universal input file it gets instead of dealing with a basic targeted list of domains/wildcards. Fun project, but maybe not ideal for people who simply want to get rid of most ads without wasting resources.

Remember that by far the best way to avoid ads is to simply avoid apps/sites that bombard the user with ads! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jkxs:
Okay nevermind, it wasn't about the firewall rules as the crashes still happen on startup. I will seek support in the gitlab.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ZionMainframe:
Do you mean adhell3 consumes more battery than adhell2,sabs etc ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mike B.:
No. Neither one consumes any additional battery power or needs to be running in background. The underlying Knox firewall does all the work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
Hi. I replaced sabs with adhhell 3 in note 8, as new format key wasn't working in sabs any more.

Adhhell 3 is working fantastic. But, do i understand well that new format samsung knox development key are expiring every month instead of 3 months??

Because that is what i read in knox samsung page... :(

Am i missing something?

Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mike B.:
The Knox key is expected to expire after no less than 90 days. Note that this is not a major concern since AdHell/Knox will let you know when the license is no longer valid, and creating a new one is a rather trivial process. Relax! ;)

Okay so, I unfortunately dropped my Nexus 6P in a puddle, got the screen replaced by Huawei. So now my phone is having the battery issue. I contacted Google, and they refuse to give me a replacement because of the water contact. So I contacted Huawei and they want 135$ to repair it, plus 16$ shipping!!

I don't know what to do now. I guess I'll just have to deal with the battery issue until I get a new phone. No way am I spending that much on a 2 year old phone. I'll just wait it out and get a Moto Z2 Play whenever I can.

HELLO EVERYONE

I had the problem that every time i connect a 64 SD CARD to my note 4 , i face a 1-2 seconds wake lag and also lag in general , and suddenly when i enter storage i can see that SD card is corrupted ! , so i asked for replacement and i had a new one , but still same problem

i thought it maybe a brand issue so i have just bought other brand and still the same problem

after searching over threads i found that there is only two solutions

-first that i have to format my 64GB SD CARD with fat32 file system instead of exfat

and i did that , but problem still exist !!

-the second solution is to flash a custom kernel and i want to be in the stock one?

why should i flash a custom kernel what is the difference ?

my n4 is running with 6.0.1 stock

can anyone help me please ?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] krabman:
I've unlocked a lot of phones both before and after that switch was added. The scary scenario is that all Note8's are locked. I hope not because I like this phone and would hate to have to sell it. There are others though, could be the switch is hidden, could be you don't need it, etc. Lets not lose hope yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xxx42069:
I sure hope they aren't all locked. I went to great lengths and expense to get the international version. Even switched carriers to get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xxx42069:
I've been doing a bunch of google searches on this and I'm seeing some mixed messages. The majority of what I'm seeing say if oem unlock is not there, it's because the oem or carrier has removed it because they don't want you to unlock the BL.

I did see 2 instances where people say if you have an international version of a phone and it's not there, it's because it comes with the BL already unlocked and thus that option doesn't need to be there.

While I hope that's the case, I doubt it. For 2 reasons. 1- the vast majority of what I'm seeing basically say the oem has removed it and your **** out of luck. 2- the international s8 had it there so it's unlikely it just comes with the BL unlocked from the factory.

Edit: And now I'm even more confused. There is a guy here that says he has it in his dev options and he has a screenshot to show it.

What you need to do is to find the latest firmware for your phone (supposingly your phone was up to date) and then extract the boot.img with HuaweiUpdateExtractor.

Otherwise you need to do a rollback and get back to stock firmware...

Also you can wait for someone with better acknowledge than me to help you.

I have sort of an odd situation that requires me to leave some phones on and displaying a webpage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in a classroom. The page itself is pretty simple simple, with a timer and occasional data usage. All are in WiFi. Everything is Android 4.4.4 and later.

The phones are on the charger (to keep them on 24/7). It's a mixture of devices/makes/models, some are a few years old, some are new. Out of maybe 10 devices, we had two that suddenly died today (power off, will not reboot). One was a HTC desire, one was an Optimus G.

Were these freak failures, or am I going to start losing devices? I googled around and couldn't find anything indicating that 24/7 usage would be problematic, but I'm wondering if I need to underclock them or something, to reduce heat (they didn't seem particularly hot).

You can't. At least not without a proper OS support.

LineageOS supports F2FS only on cache and data partitions.

F2FS should only improve write speeds (debatable, I haven't done any benchmarking), and since /system is read-only it doesn't really make much sense.

IMO it's not really worth the hassle, even for /data or /cache.
