I am looking for a way to block porn on my son's evo. It is rooted and I just wanted to put a hosts file in place so he won't know until he tries.

Install Ad Away, have it apply the hosts file, and then simply uninstall the app

Maybe probably. Try it out, or look up a hosts file for android that does.
Adfree does block porn if you select that option. It is available from playstore.

Not anymore, Google pulled all ad blocking apps a while ago.
App can be found online though.
Well that just goes to show how much I use the play store. I keep most of my apps locally since I change roms more often than a child being potty trained changes underwear.

AdAway can be safely installed from the F-droid.org repository. AdFree can be downloaded from the developers website with a quick Google search.
If you can't find either, PM me and I'll give you a link to the AdFree APK in my Box account.
Once you have the hosts file in place, you should be able to manually add porn sites that you want to block, if there isn't already an option to block them from the app.

Are you asking for the .apk files for those apps? Those apps are free at the Amazon AppStore, so you don't need to be rooted to get them.

Can't use app store ATM, so if someone can send me these API I'd appreciate it

What's wrong with your app store? If you can't use your AppStore, Google the apps and sideload them. I'm pretty sure they won't be hard to find since they are free.

Amazon AppStore automatically deletes those .apk files once it installes the app. Also the Marketplace does not show these apps so this is the best I can do.

I installed romtoolbox and created a shortcut to adetector. Running the shorcut loads the app and then you can disable airpush in any app. add blocking via hosts file does not block airpush.

if you're rooted, install AdAway from the market. It's free and automates ad blocking for you.

These dang apps with the advertising in them are pissing me off. Everytime I turn on my tablet there is one in my notification bar. Anyone know of an app to block them? I just usually delete the app out of frustration but there are some I'd like to keep.

Then why don't you pay for them to get rid of the ads?

Correct. And some you need more than 15min to check em out.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using xda premium
I find i best to be more particular of what I install and do not support any app that uses notifications to advertise.
An ad blocker will not help with these either. I simply read comments on any free app and Always look at permissions before installing.
If one still slips by, I uninstall intermediately.
All I'm saying is, if it's a good app, why not support the developer? It's not like they charge you an arm and a leg for their app and you can install it on any device that is registered to you afterwards. Most apps only cost a few bucks anyways.

It sounds like what you are describing is a VERY annoying ad service called Air Push (puts ads in your notification bar). You can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector to figure out which app it is and uninstall it.
If you are talking about in-app ads, then you need something like adblock, but keep in mind, ads are how devs get paid for their "free" apps...so unless you want to help support them all going pay, you might want to reconsider.

All you need to do is "long press" the notification and select "app info" and it will take you right to the app to uninstall it.
Get Add on detector from the play store and run it
It will tell which app/apps is the culprit so you can delete it

Yep or airpush detector.

Some Adaway action for you. Still works great, just not on the Play Store anymore.
Google "Adfree BigTinCan"
I can't post links yet but that's the app I use. I've had better success with that than Adaway.
Or go to adfree dot bigtincan dot com

Yeah Google removed all ad blockers from the play store. Even Rom Toolbox pro changed its app and removed ad blocker from their program. But I also like the bigtincan ad blocker. It's free, but you must be rooted.

+1 for bigtincan. I use it and love it and they update it very frequently.
