No root ad block method? - LG G5 Questions & Answers

I have a LS992 that has yet to be rooted. At this point I've lost at hope that it'll ever happen. Anyways I'm currently using dns66 to block ads but I'm noticing quite a few ads getting thru in apps so I'm looking for another option? Any ideas?
Also are there any options out there for YouTube ad block an background play without root an xposed beyond paying for red? I used to have the xposed modules for it on my g3 an miss it so much

You can download an app called newpipe to watch YouTube videos without ads, it also supports background playback.
You can get it on https://f-droid.org/

Use Adguard for anything else, it blocks adds ij every app w/o root.

ADS???? ADS?????

What the hell is up with the ads on the pull down notifications bar????????
I have the ad blocker app, but I'm getting two to three ads a day. Is there a way to stop this????
I think I got it, I found a website lifehacker.com and downloaded a app called AirPush Detector. I ran it and found two apps that run airpush adds. Hope this helps others....
Edit: when I used root uninstaller to remove the apps that were pushing airpush adds, the adds from my notifications were removed. So I'm hoping this is working.............
I don't get that. What apps exactly were pushing out the ads? Id be interested to know. Speaking of ads, It appears that ever since I've switched to Android, I've been swarmed with ads everywhere. Almost every app has ads crammed into them. And what pisses me off is that some apps will no longer work either if you do not have have your Internet connection turned on regardless if the actual app dont need internet to work.... Or the update will update the ads and suddenly you have to click on an ad to load a game in an emulator, each time. Some of these devs are getting ridiculously stingy or greedy. I been using emulators for years since 1999 and I never seen such ridiculous greediness or spammy advertising crammed into so many apps. Listen... Ill support the dev... But this forceful adverts is getting out of hand... Not to mention it slows my connection and the software. It kills my bandwidth. My bandwidth usage has skyrocketed since I started using apps on this phone. The as arevthe primary source of it.......
Ok... That is all. Its just a rant. No flames please. Im not bashing anyone here.
It's more than likely not your phone. It's probably an app you've downloaded that has a script to bypass the ads.

Grab an ad-blocker. They point the ads back to your phone localhost (127.0.0.1) and shouldn't hold you up when trying to display. Also, try to remember that the ad supported versions of apps are free. Most devs have a paid version that removes the ads.

When I rooted my rezound, I just used Nils' tool to install the ad-blocking host file and all was right in the world again.
You can also use ROM Toolbox to install an ad block file too.
Ad blocker does not block airpush ads. I have ad blocker and I was getting ads from apps that I downloaded like games. One of my games that I downloaded was using a program to push ads out in my area. Please read the website info I gave everyone on 2nd post. There is two things going on 1. ad blocker 2. airpush ads

You said since you switched to Android, I have a Ipad and it did the same thing until I jailbreaked the thing. I'm seeing if the game I downloaded was free (what is free in this world) the game dev has to get some type of kick back from someone. That's one of the reasons why I root my phone, to stop this kind of thing. I have no ads on my Ipad and Android after being rooted. I know about the ad block apps but I had no clue about apps using a program to airpush ads. But I got it after doing a little homework!!!! All is good, just download two apps from the market called ad blocker and airpush. Hope this helps.
Use adaway, in the market. you'll never see another ad, even in apps.
The host file is updated daily pretty much, and its free!

I really don't mind the ads, honest. It's just the forced clicking and mandatory Internet connection for apps that normally don't require it. And when ads for gay singles sites pop up in these apps, you can bet your a$$ im not clicking on that nasty stuff. Most of these apps just displayed the ads, but some, after update, suddenly make you click before you can do anything. Like I said, I will support devs, but this is not the way I'll be doing it.
Thanks for the suggestions. Do I need root for these ad Blockers to work by any chance?

I've been getting the same ads, but Adaway isn't doing anything. Could Adfree be any different?
Also, I think these are tied to a specific app I've installed - anyone know which one might be causing this? I've never seen ads like this in the notification tray - they show up with a big green "+" sign.

if this is something that's been occurring recently, check the notifications for any recent apps you installed.
adaway works great for me and dramatically increases browser page loading speeds. does a great job at eliminating ads.
This typically happens when you download a free app. Paying for the app should not give you pop ups. In my past i havent had any luck with ad blocker. I use adhoc on my HTC Sensation.
I had the same thing. And they are right. It is from a free app. I tried everything to get rid of it and could not even when I deleted all apps I installed. I ended up resetting to factory and reinstalling apps. No problems since.
Download addons detector from the market and see what app is the culprit of the leadbolt ads. Then uninstall it.
Ad Network Detector by Lookout Labs.
They're almost always spot on at identifying the programs that are causing the annoying issues.
Adaway works great for me aswell
I would have recommended adfree (rq root) but it reduces flash functionality for video playback on some websites
Installed "airpush detector" from the market and discovered that Tablet Wallpapers was the app giving me the spam in my notification bar. Uninstalled it, so hopefully that will do the trick!
Sent from my Transformer Prime using xda premium
All the above mentioned apps worked for me as well. I am ad free now! The best for me was Ad Network Dedector whitch found all kinds of apps on my Prime. Good luck!
If an app is sending ads to your notifications bar, you should find out which app it is, leave the most negative review possible regarding the notification bar ads (but be polite, people ignore reviews filled with curse words) and then uninstall the app.
If people don't use an app because it has notification ads, then app developers will stop using this method of advertising to promote their products.
Honestly though, Google needs to step in and stop people from spamming the notifications bar with advertisements. That area is for important information, not crap like "50% Off Downloadable Armor in Blood & Glory!"
Ad Notification
Tablet wallpapers was the culprit for me as well.
Download Addons detector from the market this might solve your problem....
You really need to change your title. I though it said infected with aids
Also go with adaway works really good.

I use airpush detector, it works quite well, I haven't had any apps that push without it identifying them so far.

YIKES!,,,,I hope I don't have to go that route....
Lookout Security & Antivirus found mine in ChargeBar Free Edition,
ChargeBar came embedded in the NottachTrix 2.3.0 ROM.
I installed it (NottachTrix) and it (ChargeBar) didn't update for 3 months, then, BANG.
I've deleted ChargeBar's update, moved it from system apps to apps, deleted it, and the browser pop open 'ad.leadboltads.net' still persists.
Lookout Security & Antivirus can not find the new location of the malware, they do not have a forum.
By the very definition and behaviour, this is malware, and, ChargeBar (Asgard Casino Apps) is involved in the distribution of malware.
Asgard Casino Apps distributes 34 apps that behave this way.
They are using Google to distribute this malware, abet, that app is benign in its origin, its a pipeline, or conduit for malware.
Sneaky F##kers aren`t they.........
#1) I would like to get this crap off my phone.
#2) I need to bring this to Google's attention, and have the developer and apps banned from the Play store.
Sooo, starting with #1,,,how do I get this crap off my phone!
NOTE:
I will be linking to this post in the NottachTrix post, I'm asking the developers to to move ChargeBar from the ROM zip.

[Q] Ad blocker not working on rooted G3

Hello all!
About two weeks ago, I used the "stump root" method to root my G3. The root worked according to the root checker app as it verified that I am rooted. On my previous phone, the Galaxy S3, I used AdFree by bigtincan, and it worked like a charm by blocking all ads, including YouTube, reddit, and any in-browser ads.
So, naturally, I downloaded AdFree to use on my G3. But the problem is, it doesn't seem to be blocking many/any ads at all. The ads in my redditisfun app are not there, but I still get YouTube ads and ads still appear in Google Chrome while browsing the web. Does anybody have an explanation for this, or possibly another ad blocker that will work for all ads?
Thanks in advance!

Adaway works great from first day of root
I have Adaway and I can help you with Chrome ads. In Chrome there is an option under bandwidth management called reduce data usage, that needs to be off for adaway to work with Chrome.
YouTube ads unfortunately are no longer blocked by adaway automatically, there is a way to make it block the ads but I can't remember exactly what it is. You can find the information on that in the adaway thread. It does prevent the preview images from loading but that's the only issue with doing that. There is an xposed module to block YouTube ads though.

AdFree is not blocking ads

I've installed adfree on my rooted phone, but it's not blocking ads, even after multiple reboots. I have LineageOS 14.1 on my Honor 5X rooted with SuperSU. I've allowed root access to AdFree on SuperSU and tried updating the host file through AdFree but nothing works. Does anyone have a solution? I was also considering using AdAway but I heard it doesn't play nice with mobile networks.
Thanks!
You should root with magisk. There is a module called Unified Adblock in the module list and it's very powerful!
Well I've already rooted with SuperSU which worked without a hitch so I'd like to use that so that I might not mess something up with the installation of magisk. I heard AdFree is also a powerful tool so how can I get that working?
Ok, an update:
After reinstalling AdFree it seems to be blocking things now, but it is not blocking ads from certain providers. I see that there are things listed in the TCP log, which I assume are blocked ads, so it is blocking things. How do I get it to block ads from, say, Google Ad Services? It doesn't seem to be blocking those.

Ad blocking mod

Moving over to the S10e from the S8 Plus (both non-rooted), I'm trying to find a mod which blocks ads all across the system.
I applied something in the past to my S8 which blocks almost all ads, but I can't remember what it is. I can see that I have DNS66 and Disconnect Me Pro installed, both are not running.
So what could be the thing which blocks all of my ads?
In short, looking for a solution to block most if not all ads on my Galaxy S10e.
Thanks a lot in advance.

I'm afraid system wide ad blocking is no longer effective. App developers got really smart with ad integrations. I tried DNS solution and Adhell (before it shut down). Nothing works, all popular apps that get frequent updates show ads.
try the app blockada. for me best on the market (no-root)

I tried all the methods that are available. There are many apps where I can't block ads no matter what I try. For example Duolingo app, when it loads an ad not a single ad blocker detected anything! I think many apps and games are smartly programmed to deliver ads from the same server as app content and there is nothing any ad blocker can do. Just like Youtube app.

Disconnect pro is system wide adblocker for samsung devices which is powered by knox. its available in galaxy app store for $23
Disconnect Pro isn't worth the money. $23 for an app that just block traffic but doesn't allow any filters or exclusions except "trusted apps" is quiet expensive.
I tried the app once and wasn't a big fan of it. It works, but nothing more.
Adguards dns is completely for free and with a Tasker quick toggle you can easily switch it off when needed...without to start or restart any app.
I can share my Tasker settings, if someone wants it. I also created a task to disable the DNS if I'm connected to some public WiFi networks where the DNS isn't supported.

And there isn't a way to do it. They are sponsored posts, and not ads. Only way is to use modded apks, which personally I don't trust.
