AdAway on Android N - Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

AdAway is not working on my device.
I followed instructions:
1. flashing adaway_systemless_hosts_v2 zip
2. install apk
3. Run AdAway
If anyone has a working AdAway, what steps did you do?

version number? and what do you mean by not working? what happens exactly?

@band_aid I had the same problem. I just applied the latest adaway on my galaxy s4, made a copy, and changed the first 2 lines regarding localhost to match the first 2 of my nexus 9 host file. Then simply coppied it to my n9 and replaced the host file with the one I just made. Works perfect It's not an ideal fix but it's the best I could do. I think the only real difference was my gs4 started with something like ip:localhost and the n9 was ipv6:localhost
Oh and I have a theory on what's causing the problem. There is like a fused mount thing on nougat now. I wasn't able to mount system in adb the way I usually would, instead had to use solid explorer to replace the file for me. If adaway tries to mount system/etc the normal way, that could be the problem

[TUTORIAL] How to remove ads with AdAway

Since removing ads from browser and apps was one of the main reasons to root my DX I decided to make this tutorial. Problem is you can't just install AdAway (link) and run it because after a reboot you'll have to do it again. This method is keeping the ads away even after a reboot. Remember that you'll have to update AdAway-hosts files regularly.
All credits go to Yasir Javed Ansari. I only finetuned the method he described a little bit. Because his post is somewhere in another thread it seemed right to make a tutorial for it in the themes and apps section.
First of all you'll need a properly rooted DX with superuser 3.1.3 installed. See here for a zip to install superuser and busybox or here to download a pre-rooted 1.18 stock deodexed rom with superuser and busybux installed provided by infernal77. I'm using this rom on my DX and removed a lot of bloatware with Aroma (link) right after flashing the rom. Credits go to merovig for sharing info about flashable superuser/busybox-zip and Aroma and of course to infernal77 for providing his deodexed stock rom. Although it seems that this method shouldn't be necessary when using a deodexed rom I couldn't get it to work without using the command lines, so I decided to share it anyway.
In settings - power, uncheck 'fast boot'.
Install AdAway from Play Store. Run AdAway (don't download hosts files yet) and go to settings - preferences. Check 'allow redirections' and under 'target hosts file' select '/data/data/hosts'.
Reboot to recovery and then mount /system and mount /data.
While in recovery-mode connect the device to a PC and open a command prompt.
Type:
adb shell
cd system/etc
rm hosts
ln -s /data/data/hosts hosts
Disconnect the device from PC and reboot.
Now you can run AdAway: download files and apply ad blocking.
Done!
Nice one, added to Index.
@op, Good job.
Although my tutorial was word by word the same, apart from maybe few spelling mistakes. ;p
Above is required for Stock Rom which is rooted.
On custom and rooted Rom , you don't need to perform above steps as system is write permitted so running ad away normally works fine.
Regards
Yasir

Hehe I know, the only thing I added was the /etc
Problem is that when I install for example infernals rooted stock deodexed rom, and then I install AdAway and hosts files, they don't survive a reboot. When I redirect the hosts file to /data/data/hosts AdAway states it can't create the symlink. That's why I still use your method even on a pre-rooted rom.

This symlink method(not mine) is present in ad away FAQs. So credit to the app team.

Nice guide, first time I'm adfree, even after a reboot
did anyone get it working on desire x... mine still shows ads in apps...
I don't know, after all I'm an amateur, but the problem nightcrow described about how stuff goes back to stock after a reboot is something that happens a lot with the DX's - same thing with the bloatware. I had to remove the bloat apps from a rom.zip and flash that to avoid the problem. Seems to me there is some kind of security built in that goes beyond the norm. Otherwise I don't see why apps like Titanium work to remove apps (even after reboot) for example on most other phones, but not the DX.
Meherzad, I followed the instructions posted by nightcrow and it works for me ... try again, reboot and open an app you know normally has ads to check if it works.
Failed first time (forgot to uncheck fast boot:banghead. Reinstalled and did everything again, now works flawlesly.
ok.. working great......

It doesn´t works for me...It may wont work because i have superuser v3.2?
Might be but I'm not sure. I'm on 3.1.3 and it works fine. Although getting ADB to work in twrp recovery is a bit of a struggle for now.
What exactly doesn't work for you?

Why do you need ADB when you have TERMINAL in twrp. Just wondering
Anyhow, ADB will be fixed soon
Thanks for the tutorial works great with Superuser 3.2. Just to clarify something, should I leave "fast boot" mode off now?

This is my first thread.......today i am going to tell you how to install xposed framework on ZenFone 5 lollipop without pc.........all thankx shakalaka and revo89
This method is for the people who have root and does not have pc or custom recovery and unable to install xposed framework
This method would work for x86 lollipop devices but tested only on ZenFone 5, zenfone 6 (tested by @leonardo_Irion
Prerequisite:
Rooted ZenFone 5 lollipop
1.Download file
Xposed v67
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0lCHCvFdDJjMGFHSDF6TUNJM3M/view?usp=docslist_api
Xposed v78
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0lCHCvFdDJjaEhvTUJLVnlKUk0/view?usp=sharing
For Lollipop 5.1
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0lCHCvFdDJjRnJMSmhNOEU0azg/view?usp=sharing
2. Extract it
3. Install xposed installer from extracted folder
4. Copy all the files and folders except xposed installer to /data/local/tmp
5. Now open terminal emulator(its an app and can be downloaded from play store) on your phone and type the following commands
To install framework
su -c chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/installer
su -c /data/local/tmp/installer
Now reboot ur phone and open xposed installer and u can see that framework is installed
To uninstall framework
su -c chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/uninstaller
su -c /data/local/tmp/uninstaller
And restart ur phone and xposed framework is uninstalled
To update framework there is no need to uninstall previous one. Simply download newer version and follow from step 2
EDIT:If after installing xposed framework it shows that your framework is not acrive and inside framework section it shows is active then update xposed installer to v3alpha4(apk is uploaded below)

This works on ZF 5 Lollipop with Intel® Atom™ Processor Z2560?
New version is out, so i've to download 'xposed-v65-sdk21-x86.zip' and 'XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha3.apk', and recreate the structure of your folder? Two questions:
-What're installre/unistaller files? Why i need them? Where i can find them? I can reuse them?
-In your folder, 'system' folder is the same of the one in 'xposed-sdk21-x86'?
And when new versions're out we've to do this again?

Bro links are now updated now this link includes the latest version
Installer and uninstaller files are needed to copy system folder in xposed sdk21 folder at its proper place
As this method is for the people who neither have access to pc nor custom recovery(flashing also needs pc) so installer and uninstaller files are needed
Thanks for reply. But wait a minute.. here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60366947#post60366947, #7/#8 posts.. so new framework is not compatible for x86?
EDIT: But my mistake maybe, he talks about arm version right?
Your link need authorization, can you unlock it? And how works with app/framework updates?
Thanks!

Yes, found it, installed, now i'm booting; after a bit of fear because it loads more time than normal, now it's optimizing apps, more time than normal :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: Done! but i've a doubt, if i open Xposed, under 'Framework' it says that it's not active, but if i tap on it, after the advice, it says Xposed Framework version 65 is active. It's normal?
I've rebooted again, it's making optimization again, normal?

1.Gravity box
2. Xstana
3. Boot manager
4. Coolify(no use of module its just given)
5. Tasker

What are c-apps ?
https://cyngn.com/c-apps
Click the link to learn more
Requirements :-
C-apps package
Es file explorer OR aroma file manager
1) Install es file explorer (or boot to twrp, mount system in options, disable only mount system read-only and flash aroma file manager)
2) (Es file explorer users only) enable root explorer and mount system read-write
3) now rename /system/priv-app/dialer -> /system/priv-app/dialerx
4) similarly, rename /system/app/incallui -> /system/app/incalluix
5) (es file explorer users only) you may experience app crashes. Don't worry about them and reboot to twrp
6) flash c-apps package
7) (aroma file manager users only) mount system read-write in twrp options and disable the mount system read-only checkbox, then flash aroma file manager again and rename /system/app/incalluix -> /system/app/incallui (remove the x) and do the same to /system/priv-app/dialerx -> /system/priv-app/dialer (remove the x, do not change the case of the letters ! )
8) (aroma file manager users only) exit it and reboot to system
9) (es file explorer users only) follow step 7 after booting into android
10) (es file explorer users only) reboot your phone
11) now, disable these apps after booting into android (they do not work)
(I couldn't find the time to upload screenshots, coming soon !)
Edit :- screenshots added, check attachments
Truedialer works (partially, incallui doesn't work, dualsim works) but I prefer stock that is why I disabled it
Only use 1 dialer app or they may conflict !
Working :-
Cm account
Gallery
Email
Calendar
True caller service
Cm anti-theft
Screencast screen recorder
Etc etc
Audiofx is not working but maxxaudio tuner and audiofx are the same thing
Thanks, it works.
1. I couldn't find "disable only mount system read-only" in TWRP. Anyway, I flashed Aroma File Manager,
2. renamed said files, exited Aroma,
3. flashed C-Apps package,
4. again flashed Aroma, went inside /system to rename files, they were replaced by DailerNext and InCallUiNext, exited Aroma,
5. rebooted to system.
6. Found that stock apps have been replaced(Nevermind, I'm not fan of them anyway).
I followed TWRP procedure.

Android Pay with Root

Guys,
I made a post a couple of days ago over on the 5x forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/passing-safetynet-root-t3307659. With this permissions fix I have Android Pay working without having to enable/disable root in the SuperUser app. Hoping it will work on 6p as well.
Anyone willing to give this a try on the 6p? You would need a stock ROM (or possibly another ROM that previously worked prior to Google's recent change that broke it) with systemless root installed (I'm using 2.67). Basically all you need to do is:
-Run "adb shell"
-From the shell run "su"
-On the # prompt run "chmod 751 /su/bin/"
So far this has worked for me and a couple of others on the 5x (both adding cards and making purchases). Let me know if anyone can confirm that this works on the 6p.

I just did it with Root Explorer. I changed the permissions for the /su/bin folder to 751. SafetyNet checks are passing now, but I haven't actually tried to purchase anything.
Worked on pure nexus after setting the permissions as suggested.
yep, purenexus, systemless, updated via terminal emu, works fine as of right now.
Worked with Chroma Rom using Root Explorer to change permissions. SafetyNet checks pass. Haven't set up AP yet . Will try that tomorrow.
Worked for me. Was able to pay for groceries.
Not working for me, used skipsoft toolkit to install systemless root.
Edit: Figured it out, still had the xbin_bind folder. Made a zip backup of it and deleted the original, safetynet passes now.
I've been on Pure Nexus 1/09 build with systemless SuperSU 1.61. Never had Android Pay working.
Without doing a clean install,
flashed busybox in TWRP.
Reboot
Made the permission changes using Root Browser.
Reboot
SafetyNet passes.
Installed Android Pay, added card.
Used on soda machine.
PROFIT!!!
Thank you OP for find!

i called google and they said it might actually be a syncing issue and that removing the card completely from your account (login web browser and account settings then remove card).

I disabled SuperSU and followed directions. AP accepted my credit card and is set up. Do I leave SuperSU disabled, or can I re-enable?
Odd, no matter what I do, including disabling SuperSU, it doesn't work. Only if I full unroot. Setup is stock OS on Nexus 6P, on the latest 6.0.1 "Q" release. Set permissions to 751...no go. Even tried unrooting, reinstalling the OS, re-rooting, and setting permissions. No dice.

Did you delete the /su/xbin_bind folder?

I did not. I must have missed that step.
EDIT: When I do that, root is no longer detected. The SafetyNet turned green, but Titanium Backup said no root. Sorry, and thanks for the assistance. Any other suggestions?
Are you sure you have systemless root?
100%. I just reinstalled 2.67 via TWRP. I've got it back now. What would you recommend I do? chmod 751 /su/bin/ and remove the xbin_bind folder again? I'm reading on reddit about moving it and symlinking. How were you able to successfully do it? Thanks again!
The contents of xbin_bind are: dexdump, su, wlutil
If deleting that folder also deletes su, then it makes sense as to why root is gone.

I'm systemless root with SuperSU 2.66. I deleted xbin_binds after I was rooted. All I did was chmod 751 (I did the same thing via ES File Explorer) and AP works for me.

I'll try again now. Using root explorer. Did you set all files inside of /su/bin to 751? Or just the folder itself.
EDIT: It worked this time! Thanks very much!!

Woohoo!
Wow this is amazing. I just made my first android pay purchase on a vending machine. Thanks for finding this method!
Just wish google won't take it from us again though.
For those who are confused, here are my steps for using Android Pay while rooted.
1. I reset my phone to factory defaults by installing all original software.
2. Unlocked the boot loader.
3. Installed TWRP, but kept it read only.
4. Installed Beta Super User 2.67
5. Through Android terminal after entering su and allowing terminal emulator root access:
6. rm -r /su/xbin_bind
7. chmod 751 /su/bin
Android Pay works, root is still active. Thanks all.

[SOLVED] Need Hosts File! - Adaway

Hello!
Can someone with the latest Adaway installed send me the hosts file? I have installed Magisk on my phone and I think it has a different method of rooting so, even though my phone is rooted, Adaway doesn't recognize my root. It says that su binary isn't found, but my phone is rooted with SuperSU (installed after Magisk) and Kernel Auditor or other root apps work just fine.
Thanks in advance!
