Anybody figured out to stop ads from hijacking the home page left swipe. I don't want ads to display on the home screen or in notifications and somehow miui displays their music ads as shown in the picture. I didn't find any settings to stop ads so I could use help from you guys.
My device is not rooted so can't use any adblockers.
Thanks in advance.

Disable App vault lol there's nothing more u can do about that. Settings>home screen and recents>app vault> disable.
There's an option in miui setup to enable personalized ad recommendations or not, you might have enabled that now find that option in settings, I didn't enable it so I never get to see any kind of ads.
Removing consent to be served these apps would plainly sound a good option (I've never yet used MIUI so I don't know how aggressive their ad service is). Blokada from Google Play is great and doesn't need root - might allow you to block these ads.
I'm hoping there will be some AOSP builds for this phone - MIUI is starting to sound a bit sucky

There's no system wide ads disabling option and I've have never turned on anything like this on my both phones one redmi note 5 pro and this poco. Options are there to not receive recommendation in individual app but I've not seen any option related to app vault.

Getting rid of app vault for an advertisement is not a good idea ?. Any alternat way to turn off the ads in the app value will be helpful. Thanks.

Thanks I will try this Blokada app that you suggested. Noara999 said to disable ads services from settings menu and I believe this will stop ads app vault.

Hey everyone!
With the help of the excellent guides on this forum, I was able to root my Fire HD 6 and install GAPPs. However, I'm relatively new to the Amazon ecosystem, and rooting in general, and I was wondering if I could get some help on a few tasks that would make my experience way better.
First, I need to be able to allow notification access to a few apps I use, but since I'm still using the restricted Amazon settings menu, I can't see how to do it. How do I access the vanilla Android settings menu?
Second, I would love to use a lockscreen like Echo, but when I swipe in, it just shows the Amazon Special Offers lockscreen. How do I disable the Amazon one?

LOL. Welcome to our world, where all roads lead to Amazon settings. Seriously, there's no such thing as a vanilla Android settings menu. I haven't tested latest OS, but on last version Push notifications tended not to work or to be very late--Hangouts didn't work at all. Other kinds of notifications (from Gmail, xda a few others) were pretty good. I'm doubtful anything's changed with this release, but you can try one of the Xposed modules that offer per-app notification settings. Might be something at the Play Store.

You can disable the ads and get Amazon's stock lockscreen wallpaper. See here. I've tried a few lockscreen apps and Xposed modules, but they either didn't work or made the lockscreen look wrong or behave badly. Maybe you can get something to work after disabling ads.
Hi everyone,
I'm asking if there is any app can detect the ads source in the phone
, because some times we keep installing apps then we discover there is a lot of ads and we don't know which app causing these ads.
What do you mean?
If the ad is inside your app, then the answer is obvious.
If the ad is a notification, long press on the notification and get application information.
If the ad is an overlay or anything non-standard, I first suggest better selecting what you install... You may get some help by listing running task from the application manager.
Also, the MinMinGuard xposed module can also tell you about the ad networks used by each app as long as they are known (and block them).

There is some APK's downloads by it self when ever i open the browser. and don't know how can i block them
Do you try adaway?
Do you have install exposed? If yes then find adblocker 1.4 on exposed it will help you to block annoying ads.
I use min min guard. It's an xposed module and does a great job. Set it to auto and forget about it
Hello. I just have a question that I have been unable to find an answer to. I have found apps which can disable persistent notifications and such and I know how to disable notifications from downloaded apps. However, is there any way to disable notifications that Samsung doesn't allow you to disable by default. I have the AT&T version of the S9+ in case that makes any difference.
Notifications such as?
All apps, barring a few, can be blocked from displaying notifications using native Android settings, without needing any app.
Hmmm. I didn't know that. I guess the ones that I've tried to disable must be the ones Android doesn't want you to, such as certain system UI or Samsung cloud notifications just as two examples. Any known way to disable those, without root.

Try the app "AutoNotifications" on the app store. I used that to get rid of the Gear connection notification which can't be otherwise blocked.
You'll want notification blocking. It's not a paid feature.
Sweet! Seems to be just what I needed. Thank you.

Your welcome. Found if on a post here somewhere. Seems to work well!
I keep Trying To Install Several Applications but Those applications are not getting turned 'ON' on Downloaded Services.
Also in Device Manager The App is not getting activated
Also Under Accessibility -> The app under Downloaded Services is also not getting activated. After making it enabled and if I roll back I see yellow top notification bar also if I swipe that down and it turns to normal bar. But the accessibility and device manager bother getting disabled again.
Full loads of issues I feel. Please help me how can I do it.
its oppo/realme security policy not a issue..
they think that giving accessibility to any 3rd party app for long time will risk to your device.. thats why its closed after sometime

So you mean there is no way making it enabled like we do on different smartphones? I did have mate 9 and it doesnt have that kindda security settings, means showing off something extra doesn't make sense.
It looks like realme oppo company behaving or trying to explain that our normal non oppo phones are unsecured, these unnecesary security settings are not getting anywhere and thus have to live with it.

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.

Thanks. So easy and simple. Hope it works for the long run.
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.
Adguard premium. done!
I used adaway with many devices, it works very good.
But sometimes I had to deactivate it, to see some content.

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.
