Anyway to block YT Ads without root? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anyway to block youtube ads without root and xposed ? I know adblock works for regular ads. But I forgot how horrible it is to constantly go through ads on YT videos.

Use adaway. It will edit your hosts files to block ads.
Or use rbrowser from the play store. It can block ads (no root required). It is chromium based so it looks and feels pretty much like chrome.
im using Adguard app and no root need also working with chrome
Thanks Adaway wiht systemless_flash.zip work fine

MISSING XPOSED?!!! because of 7.1.1 update?

Please note that this write up is based on the assumption that you have a rooted after updating firmware to 7.1.1 and also unlocked bootloader
On several ocassions I was tempted to take firmware upgrade to Anroid 7.1.1 but thinking of missing xposed, I was delaying it. Finally I decided to take the firmware update mainly because of several goodness packed in Android 7.1.1. Finally I updated my device with Android 7.1.1 and took following alternatives to enjoy the benefits that I was enjoying with xposed.
1. I hate softkeys and also wanting to always keep status bar immersive. Xposed immersive module was doing the job. I achieved the same wihtout xposed as below,
Added a line in build.prop qemu.hw.mainkeys=1, and restart phone hides navbar permenantly. Installed Tile Root to hide status bar and the good thing about this this app is that it doesn't loose notification pull down option. Once installed it will be seen in Quick settings as it doesn't have launcher. Using Quick settings edit, you can being the immersive button and use it to go immersive. We need Pie Control to manage the absence of navbar.[/URL]
2. YouTube background playback was possible with the help of xposed module. I managed the same screen off playback as below,
Installed OG YouTube which is a moded version of official YouTube. This has the ability to play YouTube in the background. You can search yourself to find this modded app
3. Magisk work for 7.1.1 hence if anyone wants to use Android Pay it is still possible
If anyone wants to find alternative for the xposed module that were in use until MM, please post here. We can collectively find a best possible options.

No xposed framework for Android 7.1.1 yet. I understood from xposed author that it is still in progress.

YouTube ads can be filtered using xposed module YouTube Adaway. I am Adguard to do this job and selected HTTPS filtering instead of VPN option. It works better now. I can enjoy YouTube videos without ads which use to appear every 15min.
I miss some module that allowed to swipe up and down in the official youtube app for changing volume

Well, I'm officially getting old I guess...
Was hoping to see if root cloak works and I see that hasn't been supported for a while. So, I went ahead and uninstalled using the uninstaller.zip arm64 for sdk 24, most recent version.
Anyone wondering;
Uninstalling, for me, went just as easy as installing.
Sounds like everything, for 7.0+ is still in beta/testing by rovo so do all this at your own risk.

I don't see the point in uninstalling because root clock doesn't work though, eitherway you can't use Knox or SafetyNet so might as well have Xposed.
Also there is another module called No Device Check which lets you use simpler apps like Snapchat, Mario Run, Pokemon GO etc... no Android Pay though.

Cool. Awesome dude ! This community is amazing ! I will install when a i get home ! and hey we should keep installing modules and then the OP should insert the ones that work into the main post. If you wanted to. Just a suggestion, because a lot of people will ask what works and what doesn't unless there is a list already. Thanks for the information. !

I don't want to root my mi a1. But I annoyed with ads in mi a1. Is any method for editing/replace host file without root access or without custom recovery. Or any other method to ad free Android without advertisement

Its possible without Root. To Block Ads in your Network get yourself a Raspberry Pi and install PIHole on it. Point the DNS Setting of your Router to the ip of the Raspberry and your hole Network is AD-Free not only your smartphone.
Pi-Hole is a local DNS Server with blocklist support.

I'm on Adaway, february developer build and it works ok so far.
My phone and previous phone is unrooted. I use the app called ''Block this" It's and adblock which works by setting up a vpn on your phone. It works good.
The app is not in the PlayStore, google it

Download DNS66 from F-droid, it doesn't need root.

ohkk thanks mate
Is their impact on battery consumption because DNS app run all time whenever mobile data is on.
Initially I tried both DNS66 and Blokada. Both are powerful, but i settled for Blokada( excellent UI, literally zero load on phone and good features ). Currently after rooting I am using Adaway and MinMinGuard( xposed module ) together it's a deadly combination.

Massive increase of ads on Youtube after switching to Xiaomi Mi 9T (K20)

Hi there
Past week I had to replace my defunct HTC, my first choice was a OnePlus, but due to budget reasons, I bought a Xiaomi Mi 9T instead. MIUI annoyances aside, I noticed that now youtube is riddled with ads, it is almost unusable. I am watching the same channels I used to before, but now it has like 4 or 5 times more ads.... did you noticed this same behaviour? is it normal?
Thanks.
just use blokada and your ads are gone (in every App)
U can use Youtube Vanced

Yeah, I went that route and so far is being a pain in the arse. In order to install the split apks with SAI, I had to disable MIUI optimizations in developer options, and after re-enabling them, now my apps permissions are all messed, I found out whatsapp would't show my contacts name anymore, to discover that every permission had been revoked. That happened to lots of other apps, some of them will ask for them the next time I launch them, but others will just not work properly, and now I have to figure out everything. And on top of that, with Vanced I have to give up my Google credentials If I want to have access to my histoy, subscriptions and so on.
I wish I spent couple hundreds more in a OnePlus or a Pixel, I would save it in pain...
Thanks.
installed vanced this week and none of ypur problems was present.
youtube is private company, so they do what they want basing on your internet profile. some videos have 20 ads and some have jist one

I'm using 9T since September...
right now I have unlocked bootloader, but Stock 11.0.4, not rooted, just Vanced and haven't got ad on youtube since I installed it. I use it everyday for a few hours at least
adaway also works, but you need root - it modifies host file.
educate yourselves and then go to discussion with others

Actually there is YT Vanced apk (root not required) abd YT Vanced module for Magisk.
Both block ads in YT, apk does not fully work with YT accounts, module does work with YT accounts
As answered earlier yes: AdAway (needs root but) modifies hosts file and hence it DOES NOT block ads in YT - it has been discussed and confirmed/explained many times in XDA AdAway thread (also in DND66 thread that also modifies DNS but through VPN and does not require root)
