so, is this process wont work? (without ELM key and samsung is not giving keys anymore).

if not, any other credible solutions for adblock. (I am coming from iOS and had Adgaurd pro there..not a great solution, but somewhat better.).

Undoing AdHell

Well, since the license key no longer can be obtained without becoming an SEAP partner, can someone answer how to manually undo what the app has done, now that you can't get into the app to do it the correct way?

Specifically, clearing out the ad hosts list that are continuing to be blocked (even though the app stopped) and to manually re-enable apps that were disabled. (The "Enable" button in Play Store doesn't seem to work)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] eNubiX:
1. Disable the app as a admin app in settings. Use search in settings if you have to find it.

2. Then go to "Settings> Apps> App Info> AH3" and clear data.

3. Uninstall AH3, then reboot.

Everything that was gone, should be back and unblocked again.

I get the same error 201 after generating key from SEAP... did you figure out what's wrong with this?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] daleski75:
I decided to build my own it's much easier.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Yes, for sure and if you follow the directions here and here you don't need to install or use Android Studio.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] abhijeetn:
you are entering the wrong license key generate one using the link mentioned in OP
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrnovanova:
So I follow the link and it takes me to the exact same place and shows me my existing link. I revoke that link and create another one? How will the results be different?

Isn't trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results the definition of insanity? ???
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
If you are using a pre-compiled app I would suggest you build your own. The link in the OP is the same one I used to generate the ELM key and it worked for me and many others.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrnovanova:
Your answers and the link you provided on the s10 thread worked for me. The link in the OP just took me to the same KLM key page. The one you provided in the s10 thread took me to the right page.

Most important detail imo is that the key does not start with KLM but rather is a long chain of numbers and letters.

Thanks again for all your help.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
I see what went wrong. You tried using the link and then sign in, that just takes you to the SEAP dashboard page. You need to sign in first and then click the link. That way takes you to the generate EDU page. Glad it worked for you this time.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrnovanova:
Ahhhhhhhhh! That's why. Yes exactly. That's why your link worked. I was already signed in. ?

Just Google it, like "adaway hosts" copy the link and put it in the domain section in adhell.

Are there other hosts which are good?

Hey guys question. I am trying to build my own apk, follow all the steps, but I keep getting the "app.properties" file missing, bur I have one on the folder with everything else, I just want to know what am I doing wrong?

I created the "app.properties" file using Notepad, is that correct? or how am I supposed to create that file?

any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
It sounds like you saved it as a .txt file. Using notepad use save as and then in the save as type box switch it to all files instead of .txt. It needs to be a .properties file not .txt.

Like this but you need to unzip it. View attachment 4722250 I can't upload it without zipping it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] furialfil:
disregard my last response. Gonna try with the file you upload.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
You can use notepad. I just zipped the file because XDA won't allow the .properties file to be uploaded in it's native format. You might want to change the package name, I just changed it to xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx so my unique name isn't shared. Just keep the same format of 8 and 9 characters.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] furialfil:
Very much appreciated it worked! thanks for your help. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] freebee269:
So I changed the package name and it installed fine but now I keep getting 101 error when trying to activate. And this is my backwards compatible key.

Can someone help me I had to factory reset and now i can't get adhell3 to work I have downloaded it and apk editor pro and I can't change the name anymore or build it. Any ideas
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Follow the link in the OP for the EDU key, backwards compatible keys and KLM do not work.

There is a link in the OP on the correct way to edit the file. Use XML edit.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
The link I just posted for apk editor has the latest with instructions. Follow the section for the Note 9 for the name change. The instructions I followed to build it are here. It's a pretty simple procedure.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dominicstg2:
Alright thanks

I just looked and don't see any download. The post you posted with apk editor pro has updated adhell3 can't I just download there and edit the name
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Yes, that's what they are there for. Just download one and edit the package name.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dominicstg2:
The one in this post is 3.1.1 And the ones that are In there are 3.0.0. You said I can get the latest one how can you explain step by step

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] rahulkheria:
Nobody can give u the code.. u have to generate the key
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ridl3y:
Most generated keys can be used a bunch of times before they hit the limit. Couldn't someone upload their modified version and key or am I wrong about this?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
For the time wasted waiting for a posted key you can make your own and not be worried about it. I'm pretty sure nobody wants their personal key rejected and won't post one.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ridl3y:
I've tried doing this 3 times. One time the key worked but the app would crash every time I tried to enable domain blocking. Tried to edit the newest version and it accepts the key but crashes after trying to open the app. Guess I'll have to do without
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
When you rename the package name are you using the correct format? Try "package.name=com.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx". Remove the quotes and replace the x's with whatever you want just make sure you are using the same amount of letters where the x's are (8 and 9). It's best to build your own from source following the instructions on gitlab. I posted a app.properties file a few pages back you can edit and use. Once you learn how to build it you won't want to go back. It's very easy to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ridl3y:
I will give that a try! Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ridl3y:
So I'm an idiot..... I got some help from B.O.S.S. and my issue was simple. Don't try to associate the APK on the site when generating the key. Generate the key without it, install the modified apk from your APK Editor folder, and copy the code. Works perfectly on my S10+. Thanks for the help guys!

I couldn't build my own. During the clean build process I kept getting a license error in the sdk folder that the setup process made. There are no files in the sdk folder so no licenses. I have android studio on my PC and all dependencies.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] freebee269:
The elm key. The klm is the wrong key. But if you searched this thread you would have seen this questioned answered a couple times.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] orlans21:

I also generated a backwards key and it looked like that worked but then the app crashes and keeps on crashing when i input that key.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] tl2k2:
Does the generated key need to be re-apply with a different keys every three months?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] customworx:
To everyone who has problems getting this app to work:

The most change only the 8 and 9 characters in the manifest xml! If you don't change the 3 characters at the beginning the app FCs immediately after activating and validating the EDU key!

For example:

Original line:

package="com.frontend.adblocker

Wrong: package="com.adhell12.adhell123

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

Original line:

package="com.frontend.adblocker

Correct: package="abc.customsa.customsad

If you DON'T do it like this, the app will crash even if the EDU KEY ist correct and valid!

I hope I could help you guys a bit with this. I had the same problems as many of you and now adhell works well!

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
This must apply just to the prebuilt app because the one I built starts with com. and works just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] customworx:
Could be. I didn't build the app myself ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] orlans21:

Used a regular ELM key instead of backwards compatible and it works!

Edit2: I'm using the backwardscomp key and it activates Adhell3, but the app instantly crashes and when i open it again, it wants to activate again which doesnt work. Any ideas?

What's the difference between this and "Disconnect Pro" from Samsung store?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] corwin_amber:
This is a lot more versatile and actually blocks add. You can also use your own or popular lists.

I own disconnect pro as well and it is not or barely blocking any ads. Also, you can not add your own lists.

What's the advantage of Adhell over something like Blokada which I already have running on my S10+ and works fine?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] onim21:
For me it's not working. I installed it, added hosts but I still see ads in my Chrome.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Joe333x:
I believe Blokada and alike work through a vpn, so all your network traffic goes through a vpn. This works by using knox to block the domians. Pretty much actually, making something useless like knox very useful.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Pheno.menon:
Is there a performance difference between the two?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sebastiansm:
It's working, but chrome uses some kind of own dns or something, you need to add a firewall rule for chrome and Samung Browser if you use it too
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Joe333x:
I have no experience with either, i am only in this thread because I plan to try Adhel since I am no comfortable with my traffic going through someones vpn. In theory though this should have bettter performance since your traffic is not dependent on the speed of the vpn. This sounds

Iike it works just like root ad blockers and uses knox at a system level to block hosts without root.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sebastiansm:
You can do a lot more with adhell if you like, not just 'block' ads like in Disconnect Pro

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] MatTechGuy:
when you press the blue circle with + sign, it will show two options 'add domain' and 'add firewall rule', you need to add it as a firewall rule. Then you need to disable and re-enable Firewall Rules on the Home tab for them to take effect.
