It looks normal, don't change the DNS unless you have a very good reason. Just restore defaults for DNS. The blank spaces are controlled by the app displaying the ad, so no SABS can only block the ad.

Don't add any custom lists other than mmotti's one.

Adblock plus lists, uBlock ones, etc. get content blocking parameters that are not compatible with SABS because it's a front end of a firewall (Knox).

ISSUES WITH ODIN/CAN'T FLASH FIRMWARE (S.A.B.S. related???)

For some reason, ODIN 3.12.7 (which i have used exclusively to flash OREO firmwares) is now failing. I'm attempting to upgrade from CRC1 to CRC5. Yet, when attempting to flash back to base BQL1 ... ODIN fails. After clicking 'Start', ODIN logs a 'File Analysis' which seems to hang-up/take much longer than i recall, then logs a 'SetupConnection' which seems to hang-up/take longer than i recall, and finally logs 'All Threads Completed (succeed 0/failed 1)'. Maybe ODIN isn't reading my phone properly? I dunno. Always says 'Added' when I connect my phone to my PC. I've flashed numerous OREO firmwares with no issues. I've tried different ports and different cables. Anyone experience this and have a resolution? I have recently installed S.A.B.S., which is system-wide and incorporates KNOX. I feel like S.A.B.S. may be the problem, but I'm not sure. It's the only change I have made to my phone recently. I have uninstalled S.A.B.S. for now, and am still having the same failing results in ODIN. Any ideas?

I am attempting to flash a correct version. ODIN fails, or doesn't even read my phone, while attempting to flash 2BQL1...stock Nougat firmware...that we have been using as a base for AT&T OREO upgrades. After flashing 2BQL1 successfully...then i would sideload OREO updates via sd card like always before. Yet, I can't even get that far. I was just curious if SABS was possibly interfering, considering it utilizes KNOX, AND it truly was the last modification I have made to the phone. Curious if others with SABS have experienced anything similar. I will factory reset and see where that gets me. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] naruto.ninjakid:
Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] mmotti:
SABS will make absolutely no difference to flashing firmware with Odin. The issue will likely be a result of changes made by Samsung to the firmware packages.

The fact that SABS was the last thing you installed before noticing this issue is nothing but coincidence.
[Android Apps and Games] .::Alien::.:
Just use the latest version of odin your problem will be solved, the problem is definitely not related to SABS!

So, I switched to another Browser. In Case Chrome will be changed soon.

No, it wasn't that, i waited 4 hours and still it was disabled.

Ah, understood. So it's the removed URL limit that caused your issue in this case.

Added this permission. You can compile from source and gain the ability to control it immediately or wait for an update.
[Android Apps and Games] NeedleGames:
Might be but SABS is already capable of blocking ads in Chrome and in case other apps implement this workaround (like one OnePlus app already did), you can always turn on port 53 blocking in all apps to block ads there as well. There is an option in SABS to choose whether you want to block port only in Chrome or in all apps if you compile app from source yourself. This will roll out on the next release to everyone.

[Android Apps and Games] fusionjack:
i want to express my long due thank you to [MENTION=6150682]mmotti[/MENTION] who found the invalid url issue which causes knox firewall failed to be enabled. this was puzzling me back then why adhell sometimes cannot be enabled.

i also want to address about the number of blocked urls. if i understand the code correctly, adhell currently only supports 15000 blocked urls. so, if you use additional host provider which contains more than 15000, only the first 15000 will be added to knox firewall. so, if you use fanboy ultimate, only the first 15000 will be used.

ideally, the user needs to be informed if 15000 blocked urls already reached when adding custom host provider. we should really use wildcard as much as possible.

mmotti's host list should be good enough to block most of the ads.

i took a look into knox firewall sdk. it should be possible to add a feature to block internet connection on mobile data completely. it is actually not a new feature, there was already an app for this, but it is using an outdated knox sdk.

i plan to do this if i have time. currently, i'm on vacation.

it would be also better to make it possible to define own firewall rule like denying port 53 for chrome in the ui.

in my opinion, knox firewall sdk is pretty good to give user such possibilities.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Just wanted to say another thank to the developer for creating this fantastic app!

I don't know if it was by luck but I had the best screen on time when i installed sabs and uninstalled blokada and package disabler as i don't need them any more.

[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
[MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION]: The current SABS already has the ability to selectively block port 53 and enforces no artificial 15K limit on the number of input list entries, but I have to once again warn against using LARGE domains lists: they are useless at best. Especially now that wildcards are accepted, I can't think of any real life situation where a user would need so many entries and block so many domains instead of simply blocking all Internet access.
[Android Apps and Games] mmotti:
Thanks, mate :)

The limit set in Adhell by the original developer was 15,000. I tried to remove this limit myself only to find that in doing so, there is a java exception error that occurs when trying to add lists of say 20k+.

The way around this is to split the deny list into sub lists and then send each one to the firewall for processing. Ideally though, it's best to just make use of wildcards. I see no real reason for huge lists. I believe these are only really appropriate for windows hosts files that don't support wildcards.

Speaking of the host list, I need to run another update to it which I will do perhaps later today.

It is indeed possible to block all mobile data. Its possible to specify (programmatically) whether you want to block domains specifically for mobile data or WiFi. It's rather flexible.

We just need to be careful not to stray too far from the origin adblocking / host blocking scope. The custom rules etc. Could really be a separate app entirely.

Edit: Also - Fanboy's list is only really appropriate for use with adblocking extensions (e.g. Adblock plus). You should only use standard host files with Adhell / SABS.
[Android Apps and Games] dread123:
so i've been using this -and it works great-1 problem relating to Android Wear. doesnt seem to like updating properly the apps on the watch until i disable this app?
[Android Apps and Games] mmotti:
If you are still on an old version of SABS, it might be the blanket port 53 blocking. Consider updating to the newer version that should only block the port fir chrome.

After doing so, disable and enable ad blocking.
[Android Apps and Games] NeedleGames:
Ah, mate, this is exactly what I was planning to do. You beat me to everything
[Android Apps and Games] mmotti:
I can't take credit for that one - someone posted a proof of concept on my github of this but the UI needs fixing before this could be a possibility :)
[Android Apps and Games] fusionjack:
yes, i know it from the screenshot.

what i meant was to define that by yourself when you need it. so, it is not a hardcoded one the port 53.

someone might need to block different port for a particular app. this is a common use case for firewall app.
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
So you suggest that SABS offers the option to block any port(s) for any app(s)? Yes, it's a proper firewall idea but isn't it getting very far from basic SABS functionality, with extremely limited benefits for most users? A full Knox firewall manager is a great concept but should probably be a separate project, geared towards a much more limited and technically versed audience.
[Android Apps and Games] fusionjack:
yeah, i saw how it works on the pull request on your github.

personally, i would stick with 15000. there might be a reason why the original developer set this limit.

i didn't find the max limit either in the knox documentation.

i also think that feeding knox firewall with a huge number of domains probably is not a good idea. if you saw an exception, especially when the error message is not defined by samsung, but from android system, this is usually an indication of an unexpected exception, e.g. caused by overflow.

you are right. adhell is focusing on blocking ads/domains. i was thinking to utilize knox firewall. it would be good if there is such an app which utilize all capabilities of knox firewall.

yeah, that's why i like using your host list :)

[Android Apps and Games] fusionjack:
in my opinion, adhell is already kind of knox firewall manager which includes these following features: blocking ads, package disabler and permissions management...but the app is advertised mainly for blocking ads and not all the features are actually used by users. for example, i only use for blocking ads and disable some apps.

with the small addition of mmotti's port 53, it brings up another feature of knox firewall.

hence, my idea was to bring up another feature of knox firewall within adhell, but i agree that this will make adhell more complex and more derail from the main track.
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
To ward off questions from users who may not fully read your post: this latest list DOES includes the domains in the current SABS standard package. Use either one but not both. Specifically, if you currently use SABS with the standard package and want to update to this new list:

- open SABS

- Settings

- Manage blocked domains

- Subscribe to providers

- ADD "https://goo.gl/GbSyNf"

- uncheck the standard package

- check the new URL (the box next to the little trash can)

- UPDATE ALL

- Turn SABS OFF

- Turn SABS back ON.

The wording might be slightly different depending on which SABS build you have. If it takes too long to turn on or off (more than a a minute or so), quit SABS then immediately re-launch it and try turning on or off again before going to any other screen (known sluggish UI issue).
[Android Apps and Games] mmotti:
:svetius: many thanks!

Strictly speaking there may be some very subtle differences. I believe OP may have added one or two wildcards of their own as the standard list was changed from the Adhell to a custom one.

Same applies though - Best to use one or the other or you'll just be experiencing unnecessary processing time for adding 99% of the same entries.
[Android Apps and Games] orbitalcomp:
mmotti -

I know you had mentioned something about possibly blocking Showbox ads in the old Adhell 2 thread...does your updated list do this? The standard SABS list gets rid of everything except those, was wondering if I should switch over to your list.
[Android Apps and Games] Yanchev:
What's the point having two very similar host files? Isn't it better that [MENTION=7539469]mmoti[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6183103]NeedleGames[/MENTION] to improve just one of the host files? Now it's impossible to decide which one is better and a pain to swap lists. Collaboration and the ideas of multiple people improved the original adhell to what it is today. Just my two cents
[Android Apps and Games] mmotti:
I believe it should! Give it a try and let me know :)

You will likely still see one along the bottom but I don't think this one is easily blockable as it seems to fall back to an image.

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

Quite possibly. There's really no harm in having both activated as the firewall rules will update each other. It just means SABS takes a little longer to activate.

This is a new project though, remember :) these sorts of things may be joined together in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] Yanchev:
Aren't we getting close to the 20k limit which may break the app?
[Android Apps and Games] mmotti:
That's a good point - I hadn't realised it wasn't the Adhell standard package anymore.

[MENTION=6183103]NeedleGames[/MENTION] which base host are you using mate?
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
I'm too lazy to run a diff between the two lists, but at a glance they are VERY similar and most user are unlikely to see any functional difference. You don't want to know how small my daily driver personal input list is (<150 entries, mostly wildcards!) . I still don't see any ads, so I'm sure I'm not using the internet correctly! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] NeedleGames:
I can't catch up with everyone here and reply to all quotes asking for something so here is everything I want to say in one post:

* I removed 15k limit long time ago but large packages caused some domains to not get blocked. Half an hour ago I rewrote some code to support more if the phone allows. [MENTION=6150682]mmotti[/MENTION]'s fork's fork apparently had this change some time ago.

* I was also planning to improve standard package today, and again [MENTION=6150682]mmotti[/MENTION] beat me to it but it does not mean that mine is not going to change. I'm now editing it as we speak.

* In the recent week I received quite a lot of suggestions on what to do, what features to add etc. but I can't keep up with it. Huge thanks to [MENTION=6150682]mmotti[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4343728]Mike B.[/MENTION] for answering everyone's questions and setting realistic expectations for what can be and cannot be done. I hear you all and as the time goes by I will try and do what you want. A lot of things in life are getting in the way (such as school, final exams, applications to universities, my bank that doesn't let me setup a paypal account and buy google play's developer account, paypal that doesn't want to verify my card and doesn't let me setup donations page, and a lot more) and I'm doing my best.
