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?
Thanks!

Yeah adblock plus but it is no more available on play store so you have to download from its official site
Adblockplus.org

Adfree needs root. I used to use it with my old phone
Look like Ad-Block is working for now. Thanks
Is there any AdBlock that includes settings for specific apps? I have an app that just won't work when the adblocker is running.
Try minminguard, it's the first xposed module I install

I think adaway or some other ad blocker worked without root for ads over WiFi. For some reason though none of the adblockers I've tried work over mobile data for me which is incredibly annoying since I haven't had an ad (on my phone or PC) in years pretty much.

i don't think you are familiar with installing apk's to your phone. I just want to mention that google would have solved your problem much faster . And there would be less haters around
I will explain it to you, as simple as possible.
1. Go to google and search for ad away . apk file. For example i found this link for german users: http://www.chip.de/downloads/AdAway-Android-App_56011287.html
2. Connect your Phone to your PC and move the .apk file to your phone(sdcard). Other options are using a Cloud like Dropbox etc.
3. Go to your settings -> security -> and select the option unknown source or whatever it is called in english. ( Installing from unknown source or something)
4. Go into PlayStore and load a file manager like Astro-Filemanager
5. after installing a filemanager, open it and go to the path you have moved your .apk file to... and select it
6. Press install and have fun with it
Hope i could help.

You misunderstood, Adaway was free anyway but was removed from the Play Store for some reason. It's not piracy at all.

Sorry, YOU misunderstood. Ads equals revenue for the developer, it's the tradeoff you get for free apps.

That's bs. It's our free choice, if we want to look at ads or not. Maybe we should also remove the "channel change" button from our TV remotes, so we cann not switch the channel during ads?!

The choice is watch ads on a free app, and or buy the paid version of it. Blocking ads means eventually there won't be any free apps, since the devs will be forced to charge for them all.

Ad away is a free app. Some devs don't want money. Hard to give money to people who don't want your moola.

Devs who don't want payment don't have adds in their apps.

Untrue. Some Devs make only one app with ads. And I'd gladly purchase a full version but there isn't one. So I have the choice of looking at stupid annoying ads or blocking them... If a Dev wants payment, offer ad free version. Which most devs do...with additional features. This is the way to do it.

What is with the sudden hate towards ad blockers now that Google has said something about them? There is a way to block people using ad blockers from launching an app and I've only seen one Dev do it, so obviously they don't care enough about that precious 0.02 a user to take actions to stop ad blockers

Can I block ads in games using AdAway? I'm new to this app and unsure how to use it outside the basics.

Simply press "Download files and apply ad blocking" and AdAway will block almost everything for you automatically :good:
You need to be rooted...

When would q&a be in apps section? Where else would one talk about apps.. I think its a thin line, I'm sure mods are doing a fine job
Anyways, Adaway has been removed from play store but still available online. It does require you be rooted for it to overwrite your host file. Most ads using will be redirected if listed in host file. Works well.

IIRC, AdAway didn't work for some games like Angry Birds. In that case, blocking their internet access with DroidWall did the trick.
Usually use the one in ROM toolbox pro, but an update seems to have removed it. Any alternatives? Ads are driving me crazy.

I use AdAway. However, it requires root access and you can't get it from Google Play. I got mine before Google banned ad blockers from Play, but you can get it now from the F-droid repository.

Hi guys,
I've trying a few adsblocker application in order to remove them. Unfortunately, I have no luck so far. Like on Redflagdeal application, I have that amazon ad from google on the bottom, I've tried ad blocker from somewhere here on the forum and couldn't do anything about it. Any suggestions?
Thank you
Adblock plus works for me .there was a time when this program and the other one wasn't filtering but it works now.
Adaway have always worked fine for me

Blokada is the app I use. Both are open source and no root solutions.
If you have root, try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.mx17.overridedns

AdGuard is what I've been using for years now. Paid for lifetime licenses for 2 devices. No root needed.

I get ads in free apps, while on cellular but I don't on wifi with adaway.
AdClear does, but you have to install the package from their website. It also blocks in App ads.

Does a good job blocking adds for me.
I use moaab (mother of all ad blockers). I'm not sure about over Wi-Fi since I don't use Wi-Fi often, but I think it might work on it.

MoaaB works on both... It uses the hosts file which is system wide and even in apps that call home...
If you want white space removed... Blokada does this... But... AdGuard does it better...

It depends on what you want. If you want to block ads on websites, install Firefox Mobile, and then install the uBlock Origin extension. It will block most ads on web pages, no matter if you are on wifi or cellular.
