Ad blocker & net toggle on android market works well. Or you can just disconnect all data connections before starting the app with. Adverts in it. Either way is good

What app is everybody using to Overclock on gingerbread? I've heard some people have been having trouble with some and just wanted to get a general consensus on what app would be best to use
Jrummy's app (droidoverclock) is still working like a charm.

Really? I must be really doing something wrong. Whenever I go to open a menu in the app, it reboots my phone. Even if it is the extras menu. I can't do anything with it
There was an update jrummy released a little while back that fixed that problem. Check the market and see if you have an update maybe? Hope this helps

Is there an app out there that can show what is currently using wifi on the Nexus 7? I just picked up my tablet and I noticed that there is wifi activiy and I would like an app that shows what exactly is using the connection since I don't have anything running that should be having a constant connection? So kind of like a firewall but without the need to block programs. I just want to see what is using the connection
Just look at the notification bar. It is posted there.

The notification bar does not tell me what process is using the internet. The wifi icon just shows network activity. I want to know what is causing that network activity
Oh, my bad man. I thought you needed to know which network you are on. Sorry about that. In fact I've been looking for something like that too.
You could always try using the data usage feature in your settings to see what might be doing it. Go to it, wait a minute or so and then refresh it. Whatever numbers have changed in that time are the culprits.
Afterwards I'd recommend Droidwall if you actually do want to block certain apps from the internet. Assuming you're rooted that is.

For the web just use firefox and adblock extension.
I use the adaway in the playstore (I think that's what it was called). That works. You can also block ads at the router level if you have ddwrt.
I was talking about blocking ads for apps and adaway isn't working. Also tried the one from jrummy

Adaway worked and still works great for me on every stock or custom rom on every device i own. Never had any problem with it.
Too bad google just decided to remove all ad-blocking software from the Play Store.

Yes, ALL ad blockers are removed from the market. Google did this due to an agreement with developers.

Are you in the same situation as me where ads are blocked on WiFi but not on mobile data? If so then I haven't found a solution as of yet and I've tried numerous adblocking apps/zips. It may have something to do with PA but it's not the kernel since I get the same issue on Franco as well.
adfree android works great! but youll have to search google for it, as ad removing/blocking apps arent allowed in the play store anymore.

I've gotten used to it now so it doesn't really affect me too much but if you really want it try backing up your ROM and flashing a different one to confirm it's a PA issue and not something else.

He said it stopped working. He could be using the really outdated version that was on the Play Store. AdAway has received a couple updates since its removal from Google Play.
For me, AdAway is working just fine so.. its most likely due to using a outdated version
I had the latest adaway 2.3. It works on WiFi but not on mobile data. I'm just looking for something that will work on data.

Yeah, I didn't get this issue on stock or on any ROM for my old HD2 but I do on PA which is quite odd. Still, I'm not too concerned since it seems to block some of the more intrusive popup ads and I don't seem to get many ads on YouTube.
I realize that I'm probably stating the obvious, but by blocking apps you are depriving developers of revenue.
Most Android devs are small shops. Without revenue, they'll simply concentrate on other platforms that ensure ad revenue (cough, cough Apple!). Is that something you really want to contribute to?

do they receive revenue from just having the ads visible or do you have to actually click on them? if you have to actually open the ad then I don't see how ad blocking software deprives them of anything, let's face it if you use ad blockers(and I don't) then you obviously have no intention of clicking on any ads

Agreed. They only make money if you click on the ad thats how Google AdSense revenue works.

My understanding is that revenue can be generated from both impressions and clickthroughs.
Is there an app or apk to flash to block ads? One that really works well. I have root, so that's no problem. Any input appreciated. I want to keep stock ROM, just want to kill some pop up and banner ads. Thanks

I was going to suggest this one as well. It's the one I've been using and it works great.
Combine it with Droid Wall, it's a perfect combination to block ad and unwanted access to the net.

Google has banned all ad blocking apps from its store a while back. You can still find them somewhere in the web if you google their names though.
Is there an app to block ads on non root devices?
