What is everyone's favorite ad block app? I've been using Adaway, but have run into problems as of late on PA. Just lookin for a replacement.
It helps if you could tell us what the problem is..

AdAway, very light and many updates!
ROM toolbox pro, but not just for the ad blocking. Get everything in one so it is nice to have for file browser, ROM editor, terminal, etc. Blocks more than just adds too, and I think the free version does it.

it applies with no errors, but fails to block ads. I've already gone to code.Google and starred the issue. I only queried what the preference of xda in general was.

I use AdAway on PA. When I install new updates, I clear cache so I need to block again is that your problem? If it is it's normal.

Are you referring to ads in Chrome Beta? I think ads get through if you are using the Spdy feature. Adaway is blocking ads in apps but not in Chrome Beta while using the proxy.
any way to block ads in xda app?

Buy the app to get rid of ads, otherwise you're screwing the developer.

Yes, I agree.
It is the best, but you have to be root.

A friend of mine showed me Ad-Bomb. I think it's fairly new but does a good job of blocking browser ads as well as mobile game apps. Also found that it blocks all of the Hulu Plus ads when I'm watching from my iPad or console. There is a small fee though.

This is my first contribution to the Samsung Epic Touch 4G. I have a Hulu membership and was angry cause our device wasnt "Compatible". Talk about a total rip off. So I modded the apk to work with our device. It is 100% Fully functioning. I hope to contribute more later down the road. Maybe an ICS Rom ;-)
NO ROOT REQUIRED
YES YOU HEARD ME. NO ROOT REQUIRED.
Directions:
1. Download Modded Apk
2. Sideload apk (Install like any other app that is non market)
3. Sign into your Hulu Plus Account (YOU NEED A MEMBERSHIP)
4. Enjoy Hulu Plus

Does this work if you have adblock enabled? Is there a way to disable the adblock check? I'd switch to this in a heartbeat from Netflix if they got rid of the ads, even for paying customers. lol

To be honest Idk. I disabled the phone check within the app itself. And it is ad free already so i would think it would work fine.

Slick app, but nothing is streaming. Most likely because of adblock, just keeps buffering. Shame.

Works like a champ on my Huewai MediaPad/TMobile Springboard running ICS rooted. Thanks so much.
Works great on my rooted GNex (VZW) - Thank you VERY much!

Impossible for unrooted device.
Need to root 1st
Firefox for Android has Adblocker add on now. Probably for unrooted.
Obviously only for web surfing.

Thnx guys anyway.
Work around.
Root phone install add blocker run it and let it change hosts file .
Run Triangle Away and then remove root by flashing stock kernel.

I seem to remember a way of blocking ads on the Transformer Prime without root using a trick with connecting to the internet through a proxy or something. I'll have a look around to find the thread and link it in a bit. Hopefully the principles are the same.

Try Adblock Plus
Try Adblock plus,i used it when my phone was unrooted not all ads were removed but it was quiet effective,but it will only block ads on wi-fi

i think adblock plus is an adblocker only for the mozilla browser. it won't block ads from apps and games.
root is recommended in android.

Has anyone noticed that replacing the hosts file with one that blocks ads doesn't work on the GS3? The same hosts file works fine on my GS2.

which is? about the adblocker? or about the root? hehehe.
if adblock plus also blocks ads from apps and games, then that's the answer to OP's quesion.
both, actually. root is not recommended I'd you don't know what you need it for and you're not sure what to do

The only way I've found is to modify each app. Many apps only work properly if they get their ad feed. modifying paid apps is almost certainly against the licence you accepted when you bought it. rooting is the only way to block ads for all apps and browsers, even then many google/facebook etc.

Yes, for rooted phones only.
It blocks the ads and also protects You.
It is a firewall, called Droidwall, it is also free.
look on Google Play.
some apps some just script only I mean its out there.... just got to search but I like rom toolbox for all in one access to everything
I've been using AdAway for almost a year and it works very well. So +1 for Adaway.

+1 for this one. I love ROM Toolbox, but it seems like AdFree is a little more efficient.
What about lucky patcher? I like that app....and it auto updates itself!!!!
adfree is the way to go
Yeah, AdAway is nice, but I think ROM toolbox is best. Just better to get more tools.

AdFree. Set-it and forget-it. Easy.
Ad away is the one that works for me so far a free didn't block some apps for me but never looked the look of rom toolbox

AdAway for sure
Hi,
I installed Adfree and it is working, but ...
... the part of screen where ads were is now black. So space for ads remains but there are no ads just black rectangle. Is there a way how to solve this and to be without ads and to use full screen space?
thanks
I'm hoping someone can tell me how to get adfree to work. When I open adfree it says I'm up to date but I still get ads in a lot of apps (words with friends, bacon reader). I'm running viperINC 1.0.1. I feel like it used to block ads but has stopped working lately. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I don't think it will block all ads. Try another ad Blocker and see if you get different results.

It seems that I get less ads but for full screen ads I get a blank white screen. What's the advantage of that vs an ad? Still pretty annoying.

Just how it works. The ad blockers modify your hosts file to change the address of ad sites to be unavailable. The place where the ads are will still show depending on how they're coded into the app.

Give me a link and I'll take a screen. I don't know which pages have prominent ads as I've been blocking them for years.
On a side note I do have to edit the hosts file occasionally to allow certain sites, as taptu and feedly won't redirect correctly for some of my feeds if they are blocked.
Edit I'll add a few sites. Obviously the ads are blocked in apps too which is the main benefit I find.
Thanks so much for this app !
Thank you. After flash new ROM, I tried to restore my backup from adfree and after install it says that my version is too old. Then I found this thread. Thanks.
