Even though I'm using adblock plus I seem to receive ads in apps, why? I've never seen this before

I am running BigTinCan's AdFree and LBE Security Master's built-in ad removal, haven't seen a single blurb.
Could be something application-related.
Some apps have their ad built into it, if so the adblocker can't do anything (because sometime they have it connect through their own server)... In this case the only way to remove ads is to modify the app itself

Currently my nexus is rooted and i am using my go to ad-blocker of adfree.
Now i want to unroot back to stock in order to use sky go... But i dont think i can face life on an internet enabled device without an adblock.
Is there anyway to use an adblocker without root?

i dont think so..
Can't you update the hosts files then unroot? Just root every few weeks to update host files again.

You can try adblock plus. It's like a glorified proxy, all of your Internet usage goes through the app first, which blocks ads before anything loads on your end.
It worked great at first, but lately I've been having trouble getting anything to work with it. A lot of errors acting like I have no Internet connection. I just disable the app and all is fine again. But give it a try, it might work great for you. Not many bad reviews in play store

If you dont plan on staying rooted, why dont you just delete your hosts file and replace it with a symlink to, say, "/data/local/tmp/hosts". Then you can unroot and still be able to update your hosts file.
Firefox Browser app has the Adblock+ add-on for Internet browsing. This hides most ads without root. I also like its master password to protect any stored passwords.

That is only for the Web browser, and rooting and unrooting every week or so might work

I had to disable AdBlock Plus on my nexus 7 because it was blocking some of my websites.

Hi I have tried a few ad blockers from the market but can't find one to work with a custom ROM. I am currently on AOKP.

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.

Oh God, did they removed the app from the Play Store? Thank you titanium backup for being with me

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

Rooted now with motochopper method.
Can anyone recommend a working adblocker for rooted phones? I am looking for one that also blocks ad's in games, my daughter has a habit of clicking them . I installed Adaway but it seems to error out when trying to apply the new hosts file.
Try Adfree. I don't think that any of them are perfect, but see how it works for you.
I prefer AdAway

I love adfree. The only thing it doesn't block are the video ads that come up between games in apps like hungry shark.

I found one thing I don't like on Adaway. It requires reboot for it to take effect every time after update. The ROM (by Beans) I installed for Note 2 before had the ad remover pre-installed and worked flawlessly.

It may depend on the app, but at least with the Chrome browser, I can just force close it and reopen it and the changes take effect. Hope this helps!
Thanks everyone, I will try the modified adaway and adfree =)

I just rooted my phone and was curious what others use. What's the best ad blocking app out there?

adaway for me however some apps got smarter and not all ads are being blocked
AdAway easily.
I don't have this device (yet), but I'll throw in. AdAway, supplemented with AFWall+. It is a GUI front-end to iptables, which allows you to set per-app access to the network. I only allow apps that actually need network access through the firewall.
Not much gets past that, and it has the nice side-effect of dramatically reducing both battery usage as well as network usage.
+1 for Adaway

Use the Xposed module, YouTube AdAway.
I tried using Xposed module for my phone but it does not recognize the moto X pure 2015.
Adfree works great

You have to get the one for android 5.1. It works. I just did it.
No talk of the MinMinGuard Xposed module for app-specific blocking (sans Chrome and presumably YouTube)? I'm still window shopping so I'd like to hear more impressions.
Does anybody know if ad guard is allowed after updates to sprint PB5. Is ahybody running it on new updates?

I run ad guard on the latest version with no issues. I'm a paid ad guard user and I have the life time subscription. I love it man

I'm asking because I always used adaway on my rooted note 4. When I updated to marshmallow the old version of adaway I had been using for years wouldn't run. I tried adguard and it blocked that too. I'm not rooting my edge so the adaway that works on rooted marshmallow is useless. I don't want to update and be agreivated by ads.
Mine works fine

Mine works fine. Although google blocked SSL filtering with user certificates for apps outside of the browser which sucks.
