did you save the apn after editing it?
Ty!
Trying it on my nexus7 2013 Wi-Fi, and the main thing I've noticed is that the pictures/videos won't load in Instagram. Any way to "white list" an app? Otherwise, so far so good!
*edit* Also noticing ads on YouTube. Not sure if they would be impacted or not, but figured I'd bring it up. Great work otherwise!

I did. I think ABP is just missing some of the ads I see most often. After a reboot apps and web pages look the same on WiFi and cellular.
Adguard..

Just removed root from Android N DP4 as it might is the reason for my device lag and freeze. Installed Adblocker Plus, configured proxy, saved APN. Opened Google News and got pop-up ad in ten seconds.

The country China has a firewall set up so specific websites like Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter etc. can't be accessed. This is what he means.

Cannot work. Unable to connect for me.
You could perhaps use AutoProxy and dig up a proxy on a non-firewalled port to connect. There was a time when Proxy Hunter on Windows was good for finding them, but it has been years since I have used it.
http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/ has a reasonably fresh list.

Vpn is the answer, but you need server outside of china. I'm sure there's some app that can do that, but again, you need server. Vpn is virtual private network, like proxy but more sofisticated.

VPN is the only thing I found to work.
A free option that somewhat works is DroidVPN (on the market) but for the heavy stuff I just use my house VPN provider, StrongVPN has a nice deal where if you buy one VPN account for the house you can get a second one for a very cheap price, I use the second one on my phone.
Their prices are reasonable at around 60$ per year.
I heard there are specific places in china where the internet isnt filtered o-0.

As stated above. A little more info. The Chinese government is allowed to monitor all traffic by its citizens. As such they block most outside competitors like Google and fb mostly due to them not allowing the government access to the info.
Foxfi works using wifi with proxy but after I use it for 10 minutes or so it stops moving data and I have to turn the connection off then back on. Anyone else having this issue? Also when I try to start the Bluetooth connection in foxfi it tells me its unable to open Bluetooth. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

FoxFi (with proxy) has been working well enough for me, with random data stoppage. The stoppage does not appear to be a time-related. Sometimes FoxFi will work without issues for a long time, and occasionally it will stop after just a few minutes. I have not been able to determine if I am doing anything specific to cause the stops.
Heya guys,
I had 4.1.1 till few weeks ago, after I updated to 4.1.2 Wanamlite ALL adblockers I try don't work... I used Adfree before and had 0 Ads in apps.
Now, no matter which one I try I have ads in there.
I had to install another version of adfree which removes only a few ads but not all, I tried adblock plus, adaways, and adfree....
My phone's rooted as usual, i let them acces internet via droidwall...
What is the problem ?
Is there a general change in 4.1.2 hich prevents some ads from being blocked ?
Thanks in advance.
Gram
All should work. What if you turn off droidwall?
Adaway worked for me on 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 leak. I then moved to 4.2.2 aosp and it still works

Heya,
Droidwalls logs are empty, i set things up a year ago so doirdwall isn't it. plus adfree and all the others adblocker apps always have all permissions.
So should I simply try another version other than 4.1.2 or why the hell isn't it working ? *sigh*
If you don't know why its not working, how can you rule out any cause?
Logic says remove as many variables as possible. I asked what happens without droid wall. Did you try it? I ask because you didn't satisfactorily answer the question.
Please rule out droidwall first. Then we talk more.

Adblocker plus (not crapy Play's one) works fine here with AFWall+.
It can't block all adds, only those coming from external add networks, not those natively brought through the application's server (mostly games I guess).

Yeah its the same for me.
I am using the same aps I used to use before 4.1.2, I was using the older version of adfree which was working perfectly. No inapp ads nothing.
Now i had to update the adfree to another version and the inapp ads are not blocked anymore. I mean those built in.... because those aps cannot acces the internet anyways.
The got blocked before I am just wondering why not anymore...

Thanks. If this is from /system/etc (or /etc) then it rules out the apps. Your hosts file has 25000+ entries (more than mine by about 4000)... so it would definitely appear to be a rom issue. The app is doing its job by writing to the hosts file.
I trust it has standard /system permissions?

Hey, yeah prolly... It has root permissions. I was using the older wanam rom, it was working pretty nice....
What I am asking myself is: some ads seem to be built into the ap itself, since i don't allow any of the games or apps i use to connect to the internet. So ofc some ads are always there right ?
But then I realize, hey I was using all those aps before and none of those ads were there before...
What u think, should I change the rom ? can u recommend a good one ? I was pretty happy with wanam tbh...
cheers.
Gram
If you can tell me a few games to test for you I can let you know....
Since the hosts file simply blocks web hosts connecting in from the internet, it can't touch ads that are embedded in the game that works when the internet is off. So yeah, anything that still works with no internet cannot be blocked.
When I use touchwiz, I prefer wanam

Alright cool...
First game: Third blade
In this game if u start a level, u get a small banner ad at the center top of the screen. Now, the game is blocked and cannot access internet. yet It has this ad. Here comes the twist though, When I had my sgs+ back 2 years ago, and had adblocker i didnt have that banner ad, so whats deal with that nowadays ? Simply different version ? (upgrade with integrated ads) ?? The sgs+ had 2.3.3 or so...
Second game: Jewels saga
If i start the game now I get this stupid fullscreen ad which I have to press away. I used the same game in 4.1.1 with wanamlite and adaway and dindn't have this ad, so how come after the upgrade, under the same circumstances this ad now appears ? Please check if u get the fullscreen ad at the start..
I deleted a **** load of games so I only have these 2a atm...
Thanks alot.
Sincerely

I have a rooted Galaxy Mega I recently bough, running stock ROM 4.22. I am upgrading from an original Galaxy Tab 7 (rooted and still running Gingerbread.. working like new).
Like on my Galaxy Tab 7 I installed Adaway on the Mega, but, seems I cant get of any ads at all. All apps display ads even the Mega is rooted and Adaway properly configured. Am I do anything wrong or need special configuration or is there a knows inssue about removing ads with this phone? Any other app that works or workaround for the problem?
Aside from this problem, the Mega is a great phone! Extremely happy
Thanks in advance for sharing any advice and input of this

its probably the 'webserver' doesnt stay on, the moment you exit adaway its turns off by itself

Positively does not work. Installedl and uninstalled several times the app (and several versions) and never works.

View attachment hosts.zip This is the actual text file, just rename without .zip and copy to /system/etc, making a backup first.

In a way yes, but not completely. You are blocking sites and using a proxy bypasses the site address as everything is server from the proxy IP address.
Adaway webserver would remove the ads and then show the page complete, a bit like Opera Mini.
