Hello everyone,
Since I can't "Yet" post on the right post cuz I still don't have the requirements.. I'll post it here and try to open this discussion...
I've been looking around on how to remove Ads from APK files. I've seen a bunch of tuts but noe helped me since the APK Iam trying to remove the ads doesn't conform with the ones on the tuts. It doesn't seem to have Google Ads but ads from Madertise!
Below is a list of files in the APK I found related to the Madvertise Ads:
\res\layout\ad_madvertise.xml
\res\values\attrs.xml
\assets\adview.html
\assets\adview.js
I've tried removing, tweaking these files but couldn't get the ad removed. All my attempts to remove/modify these makes the app unusable.
So.. Does any one out there have been playing aroudn with these kind of ads and was able to remove them or know how to do it?
Thanks in advance for any cooperation
Worth checking out.

Original thread (feel free to thank user) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/general/ad-blocking-root-t3195799
I'm trying it now, I'll report back on how it works out.
Awesome
Thanks, works great actually
Hi, I've been using AdAway for a couple of years and about three month or so, some in apps ads are not block (such as musixmatch, textra, mangarock...);
I've installed xposed module MinMinGuard and nothing, ads keep popin up from time to time on the same apps.
Your help is much appreciated.
You might need a flashable zip that blocks ads based on your hosts file.

I think this will do the job.
If it doesn't work, then you can find such a flashable zip on the general android forums (or something like that)of xda.
I think it was called mother of ad blocking or something.

Lucky Patcher is what I use as well(although its somewhat boring having to wait for it), but I don't mention it because it is(frequently) associated with piracy

Okay, I didn't know that; thank for your help.
On the Mate 10 ALP-L29 with firmware 8.0.0.115 (C636)
Having significant issues with NetGuard or Adguard for blocking ads - the internet connection is spotty and hangs up often when the VPN is in place. Happens across all apps that need a connection.
Refreshing multiple times sometimes makes the connection work. Then the connection will work for a while before going on the fritz again.
Wifi/4g will stay connected but no data flowing in.
Once I disconnect the VPN then it will work fine without interruptions.
Anyone having the same issue? Not sure if this is a Mate 10 specific issue or an Oreo issue.

Oh wow I don't see any more ads on chrome using dns66 I downloaded it on F-droid app. Thanks
Does anyone here know how to get DNS 666 working in conjunction with a VPN running in the background. I need a VPN to be running for my job and I also want to be able to block ads. And I know DNS 666 uses a VPN workaround to be able to function correctly on non-rooted devices. So has anyone been able to get DNS 666 working in conjunction with a third-party VPN?

I don't think it's possible. All other VPN ad blockers go off when I connect to my proper VPN provider. You can only have one key symbol on your notification bar.
DNS66 is probably a little better than the other VPN ad blockers in that my connection is less interrupted but it's still occasionally not working and when it doesn't work I still need to refresh multiple times to get the connection going.
No one else has this issue?

Yeah, AFAIK, we can only get one VPN working at one time,
And i never found a true perfrct vpn bases ad blocking, dns66 is one of the best i can suggest,
But if you really need full solution for your ads and vpn, then i would suggest to go rooting,
I already rooted my mate 10, so i can use adaway tigether with my tigervpn.

Uh, ermm...
About that,
How about trying it by yourself
download attached .xml file and place it to /system/vendor/etc
change permissions to 644
What changed ?
BETA : Try to balance the volume gain between earpiece and main speaker. Currently i adjust it to have around 4dB extra gain.
Crap, missed the attachment

@otonieru, please could you tell me, after rooting, do you still receive OTA updates on your mate 10?
I'm highly interested in rooting, but up to now there's so little information on rooting available.
I also wonder if there will be TWRP for the mate 10...

OTA still received. But you will lost your root if you decide to flash the update.
And rooting will erase your userdata
But using huawei backup tool, it can easily restored
@otonieru i have downloaded the files for rooting the device but before i proceed any further do i need to have the credits at funky huawei? Or i can just proceed without it? Just in case i have open up the wrong file. Can u tell me which file u used for rooting? Because i don't see a superuser file in the folder. Some extra guidance would help a lot. First time rooting a non samsung phone. Thanks in advance
AdGuard works fine with me. I am unrooted. DNS66 didn't work well with me. Ad boxes still showing.

No need credit for rooting. It only needed to rebrand.
Choose something named "FunkyHuawei..." its a .bat file if am not mistaken (curently far away from my PC)
It will open CMD windows, and there wouldnbe a list of option you can choose. Choose "Root"
Plug your phone in fastboot mode. (Use Win7, Win 10 has problem with mate 10 fastboot driver)
Has anyone found the solution for this annoying problem? It happens with all VPN connections (I'm using NordVPN at the moment).

There is a module but why not simply use Adaway?

What do you mean?
Does it have root access and have you enabled some filters?
Have you tried DNS66? First you have to download F-Droid from the website. F-Droid is an alternative App Store not operated by Google. DNS66 doesn't need root and works very reliably with me.
AD-AWAY worked flawless on my Samsung device, but seems products from brand named Mi by Xiaomi are only worth to use there custom crap all in CHINESE LANGUAGE..
It wont allow customization, and It will take soo many months to learn CHINESE.
Time to boycott xiaomi devices completely now.
I tried making couple of useful topics for users interested in XDA apps..
like Greenify, Magisk , Xposed, etc.
Made similar topics on there site too (unsure what they do with there site, amalgamation, departure, etc. etc.)
All topics lost, where noone is interested..
It seems there are only novice users left who come for a solution..
EXperts try there best and post solutions (appreicate them on XDA)
Most of solutions are copied back from XDA..

No Idea what you are talking about. Adaway, Greenify, Xposed and everything else is working perfectly fine for me and everybody else.
You are the only one having problems with it and you cannot answer simple questions like how you rooted your phone.
And what Chinese? Everything is in English, German, Spanish, Russian and dozens of other languages.
