As I have new phone and is not rooted yet, I had a look around and I was able to find this information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726443
I gave it a go and it works on my n7505 without any issues, at present tested only on mobile network (Optus) tonight will have a look on a wifi.
I didn't see this readily available and with many people not wanting to root and trip their Knox counter, I thought I'd show you how to get adblocking without root. This will work on both wifi and mobile data.
--First step would be to install Adblock Plus APK. I got mine from: https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
--After installing, run the app once and activate filtering. It should now be blocking all ads on wifi only. To enable adblock on mobile data you need to add a proxy to your APN.
--Go to system settings>network connections>more networks>mobile networks>access point names. What you need to do now is go to you default APN and copy down all the settings. We only do this because you cannot edit the original APN it seems. Now create a new APN and enter in the copied settings. The only additional settings you add to add to the new APN is:
---Proxy: localhost
---Port: 2020
Make sure you set the new APN you created as active and adblocking should be working! I have done this on my T-mobile S5. Hopefully some of you will find this useful.

It works but slows down the Internet speed!
Looks fine.
But in case you root your device try MinMinGaurd from Xposed Framework, nails every add-hogging app like a charm.
There is also one to disable adds from Youtube app, its last in the download section of Xposed Framework. Those 15 second adds before every Video are passe now
I have no issues with speed. Adblock works only on mobile networks not WiFi.
On my ex rooted S2 I was using Adfree from bigtincan and it was awesome. Right now I'm so no used to ads.

When I use the Adblock some sites don't work correctly. For ex., I get a "bad request" error or some search settings don't apply. When I use no proxy all is okay.
Useless app

SAMSUNG Galaxy Note 3 neo
It worked just fine on my galaxy Note 3 Neo, thanks!
please,share your settings
Settings:
Filtering: On
Updating: EasyList (there is no local hosts catalog for my country - Greece)
Acceptable Ads: No (unchecked tick)
Notifications: transparent (ticked)
Advanced settings: enable at start up (checked)
Update: periodically
Auto-update: Wi Fi only
(translated from my Greek menu)
Working 90% if you update manually once a day, for example It doesn't work in "News Republic" final pages...
Is there anyway to get this to work without Sacrificing my Internet speed. It completely slows down my Internet to the point to where pages just time out. It was blocking ads but made my phone useless

Good day to everyone!
I suggest you try Adguard mobile app. It might be suitable for you. This is an ad blocker for Android devices that doesn't require ROOT - works both on rooted and not-rooted devices.
Available at Google play.
If you are interested, you can find more info on our website adguard. com.
More details about Adguard for Android are to be found in our Blog.
Adguard. Try it, maybe you like 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.

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.

I am using one application which force me to turn my data connection to continue with that app. I am on WiFi and have no Sim Card on my device (so no possibility to have real data connection)
I need some thing which can make fool that app that my android is on Data connection instead of WIFI.
Please help me. Thank you.
(Made ton of search on Google and on the forum, without success...
Seen a lot of demand for the exact opposite though)

Huge tanks for your time. Haven't tested the app because unfortunately I can't get more than the version 87 of Xposed and this app requires the version 90
However, still huge thanks, and if you are able to make it fonctionnal with Xposed 87, it would be really awesome.
Still thank you, and have a nice day

Sure.. here you go.
What is the app you are trying to use called?
Thanks a lot, however :
With my android 7 phone, the app can be installed but not running at all, with any activity shown by Titanium backup or in ram activities (work with xposed though)
In Nox Android 5.1.1, the app can't be installed (nox is the main thing i use, the phone is here in order to test)
With all my gratitude for your efforts and time, with the hope (if it's not too much to ask), you can fix that
(And it's an app that show content only when connected with a 4g or data connection)

It will be easier to fix if I know that app's name.. there are a few ways for app to recognize data connection and I implemented one way.
Replied by dm
Try this. It should work for Android 4+.
Keep in mind there is no activity for this, it's just an xposed module.. you won't see any icon for it and don't need to open it, just enable it in xposed.
Great thank you, it's installed with the test phone, and ticked on Xposed
But, with Nox with Android 5.1.1, still the same issue
I tried my best to find solutions by myself, and here is what I did
- > Tried to install normaly : Don't Work (app can't be installed)
- > Tried with lucky patcher (on a copy of a clean device) : Still don't work, with the message -> PM Error Failure Install Parse Failed No Certificates and the app was NEVER installed before (was a clean device)
- > Tried to install as a system app with Lucky Patcher : Work, but App not showing in Xposed or any App List (so don't work)
- > Tried to install a backup from my phone where the app was working : No Success
What can I do ? Thanks for your time

Thank you, this helped me. I signed the APK with a newer method that doesn't work on Android versions lower than 7.
Here is the apk signed compatible with android 5.
The app is installed with Nox and the issue is not showing
And wanted to wait longer to tell you if all will still be okay but seems to work really good
Huge thanks, once again
I'm sure that I won't be the only one interested by what you just made
Thank you

Hi. Have you got a similar app that works the other way around? One that fakes mobile data as a wifi connection? I'm on Android 11.
Old thread but same problem. I have an application that simply will not work on any device that does not or cannot have a mobile data connection. This app believes any of those devices are considered an emulator and therefore will not work on said device. I need to trick this application into thinking Wi-Fi is either mobile data or I need a way for the app to think mobile data is being used. I am using this application on Android 9, or rather lineage OS 16. I have come close to tricking it using several of the apks provided in this thread, but none of them seem to do the trick for a long enough time. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Using Xposed (Lsposed) zygote. And with the latest magisk.
Any one find similar app for ATV Box 9.0, please?
@firefds I can't make ICICI Pockets app work without mobile data connection using the apks attached here. Maybe an update is necessary? I am using Magisk Delta with MagiskHide enabled to hide root from the app, Zygisk is disabled and so using Riru variant of latest LSPosed. Any help would be much appreciated. TIA.
Edit: The app worked after using a VPN but like Wifi it detected VPN use and displayed a warning so maybe in the future they will block this workaround. It would be great if mobile data can be faked.
Edit2: The app seems to work in Wifi directly without resorting to the use of VPN. The app is so riddled with bugs that it's hard to say anything with certainty.
There used to be an module called "Anynet" and it used to do same.. Maybe OP can make a module like that for all of us
On my old phone android 5.1.1 blokada worked really well, basically not a single ad.
Now, with new android and new blokada, I have permanent ads all over the place and I am continuosly harrased by other "free" functions blokada installs without asking .
I can not even switch their vpn off!
What is the best ad blocker now?
I mean an adblocker, that will block ads, and that is it. If I want anything else, I will look for it.
I do NOT mean an ad blocker that works with the browser. I basically never use the browser on the phone. I am talking about ads from apps..
Thank You
This sounds odd, im using blokada 5 with default Block lists this App does not install additional Apps at all. Make sure to download from Official Site blokada.org also don't use the downgraded Slim Version. U add more Block Lists in Settings when default not enough.

Why don't you use Blokada 4. I use it and it works well for me. Just sometimes after switching on the device it keeps on saying 'please wait' but after switching off the vpn and switching on again it works perfectly.

You don't pay anything to use their DNS servers. Just configure the DNS IP in your network setings - no need for any software. The IP is in the link I gave.

Todey's "quality" of Blokada is why I asked this question. But of course in one sense you are correct. In Android 5.1.1 it worked perfectly, in Androids 10, 11, 12 it no longer does.
Actually I do not know, if it is Android, it might be the MIUI.
I can see the "progress" the updates deliver in so many places... My Camera f.e. demands access to the microphone when I want to take pictures! It will not let me take photographs without access to the mic....
I have become such a fan of how digitalisation has made this world so much better and more intelligent.

Thanks, Under "Modify Network" the phone only offers to switch between "Use randomised MAC" and "Use device MAC", the latter is set as default
After a while of trying out I managed to get to the DNS servers, where I saw that DNS1 is my IP adress and DNS2 is 8.8.4.4
In adguard's instructions it mentions two values, 94.140.14.14, 94.140.15.15, but it does not say if I use one of those in both or if the first one is DNS1 aand the other one is DNS2....?
Also: My phone is set to: Data only via WIFI, never through SIM. The ads I am talking about usually appear without the WIFI switched on and cannot come in via simcard. They appear f.e. on the HF Onkyo Flac Music player, which is the identical version and installation as on my old Android 5.1.1 phone, where NO ads appear...
But I will try the DNS change, if you tell me which one to put into 1 and into 2...

Use 94.140.14.14 in DNS1 and 94.140.15.15 in DNS2. It is unusual to have your IP in a DNS setting.
The ads are probably cached on your phone. You may need to clear both DNS cache and the app cache after updating DNS. Turning WiFi off and on may clear the DNS cache, if you can find no other way to clear it.

And how do I do that on this Redme9T?
I rooted all of the phones I have had since my first Android phone. However, a few apps that I use either would not work or would not work correctly with root, even when it was possible to still use Magisk hide.
Meanwhile, the only thing I was actually doing that needed root was using an adblocker, so I decided to try using this new Pixel 6 without root.
I have to say that I do miss having an adblocker.
Try the Brave browser, it will take care of website ads at least.

Nothing beats a true hosts adblocker. Works universally. Also nothing beats being able to perform a full proper backup of your phone in case something happens. And finally, nothing beats being able to rid your phone of all that "gapps" spyware/tracking/backdoors.
As you can tell, I'm an advocate for root. But weild it with responsibility.
Search 'DNS' in settings. Then enter 'dns.adguard.com' into 'Private DNS' and you'll have onboard adblocking!
I am also in the position you are as I have rooted all my phones since HTC Desire, primarily as I hate ads. This is a lifesaver and means I don't need root for the first time.
