What's the best ad blocker you've found for your Galaxy tab?
adfree
yeah
Adfree or lucky patcher.
Both can't be found on the market because it would be silly. Google puts them ads for a reason, to annoy you, why would they allow an ad blocker on the market? lol

Can't? What?
You can google it, since it's a homebrew app

I don't know about Lucky Patcher, but AdFree is readily available on the Android Market. (I still refuse to call it "Google Play.")

i rooted my phone n also install ad free from market but still ad appears
I had the same problem at first. I used AdFree and it worked quite well. All in-app ads were blocked but ads still showed up on my browser. Even after updating the hosts.
I switched to AdAway last week and I havent seen a single ad so far. I recommend you use this over AdFree

No wonder if you can't find any of your favorite ad blocking apps such as AdAway in Google play, Google is removing them as of today.

They prevent developers from making money. Obviously it would be happening sooner or later, I'm also surprised they remained until now.
No big deal to me. People need to make money somehow. Frankly, though, I prefer those that offer a free ad-supported version and a paid version. If I use an app a lot I'd rather just pay for it and remove the ads. It's often a bummer when people only offer ad-supported versions of apps.

You can still get AdAway from F-Droid.
Also, you can do ad blocking at the kernel level and it is already implemented in custom kernels for our phone.
Just block ads by host file I can link the file here https://www.dropbox.com/s/hat49do241hhuy8/hosts.rar or quick Google search, even quicker download, use a file explorer that has root privileges move the file to /system/etc/ rename your old one or just over write it........ GL
EDIT: You will need to unzip/unrar it then move it to /system/etc/
Re: Ad blocking apps are nuked from play store
Also I posted an ad away here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39144524
Compiled from source. So plenty of options for everyone.
AdAway has been my favorite, can't live w/o it.
Thanks a lot, gents
after installing stupid app I start to get these ads I removed the apps but still getting these ads
anyway to stop these stupid ads ??
thanks
Probably you still have installed the app that is causing the ad to appear. There are some applications that can detect which apps are showing ads like that. But i can't remember the app name, sorry, you'll have to search a bit for it.
Or, if you are rooted, you can install an ad blocking app, like AdAway.

You shouldn't be recommending anyone use Aptoide, it's a warez infested gimp haven!

Yes, that is true, but APKs that cannot be found on google play is usually uploaded on aptoide. Its morals, and anyone with morals would support the developer and purchase their app.. Not to say i have not downloaded any paid apps without paying for them, but i definitely have donated and purchased apps that have saved my ass such as speedview when my speedo was not working.
I uses ad away it uses less battery

Offline? You need to download app for phone and browse/install apps from it. Suppose its online! The same app as google play.
I dont see any offline .apk links for PC. The only offline .apk rep I know is f-droid.org

Adblock Plus is available from the Amazon Store, why not just download it from there?
https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
So, this [Adblock Plus for Android] will block annoying adds inside apps?
Is it recommended to also use the Adblock verion specifically for Firefox if you have this version installed?
Any issues using this alongside Android Firewall (besides the obvious one of needing to add Adblock to the whitelist so that it can download it's block list)?
Two other apps I'd recommend to anybody reading this thread: greenify and wakelock detector.

What do you mean? is your device not booting up? bricked?
This is to Remove adds in many apps like angry birds and even blapk market. Tested working. Didn't see adaway in android market so here it is..
Ad away can be found in F-droid. Just an FYI
How does it block your ads? I use the same and still saw ads in apps. So had to use lucky patcher on those to clear them out

There are a few apps that it does not remove ads from and I am not to sure why. The official apk can be found here.

Always used this on my previous devices and it worked well. Havn't seen any ads yet.
Can anybody confirm this as another ad block solution?

I don't suggest lucky patcher. There are several issues caused by lucky patcher. The main one being your device showing out a of storage space when trying to install apps.

Why did you have to jinx me!? I had no such problem until I read it here Removed Lucky Patcher
I was using AdAway with no luck blocking ads.
So I flashed the mother of all ad-blocking found here:

Now that, worked great except some sites I do visit are blocked but all it takes is a simple edit to the hosts file to remove the block on said sites. :victory:

Lol.... at least when it happened, you knew what caused it. I know if some people that took weeks to figure out what was causing it.
adaway has been my favorite since it came out. it's the only one i know of that allows custom black AND whitelists.

The problem is that adaway or Adfree dont seem to keep their info on reboot so the ad re-appears... a pain
no on any of my 6 set ups. adaway always keeps its settings. it actually writes over the host file. maybe you're doing a symlink instead into a temp directory?

I was having issues with it also...Using Titanium Backup I converted it to a system app and it hasnt failed since on me.....
How do I add Google ads to safelist on AdAway? I mean I don't wanna block Google adds that show up when doing a Google search.
I use Adaway at my rooted Note 3.
The problem is that Facebook and Messenger doesn't work.
If I replace the new Hosts with the original and freeze adaway, the two apps work.
So, is it possible to use adaway but remove some hosts, an Facebook, Messenger still work?
Please, if somebody knows the hosts to remove….
Help.
Thanks in advance,
