Adblock for youtube?

Anyone know if theres any way to block the ads in youtube on the nexus player? I usually do that with xposed. I didn't realize how many freaking commercials there were. And half of them I can't skip after seconds any more. The same commercials over and over...

I use adblock by BigTinCan, but honestly don't remember if it handles YouTube ads...

Don't use addblock or Aaddway the mess things up. Hulu always stopped and could never load the adds. Therefore I could never finish a show. I thought it was the np or the app for the longest time until I uninsulated my add blocker

Yeah I tried with ad away and just took forever before ad timed out. I have ads blocked with xposed on tablet and phone. Wasn't sure if there was an alternative

Add hulu to your whitelist on adaway to resolve that.

There is a working solution now. You'll need to install the correct version of Xposed on your Nexus Player and then install YouTube AdAway v2.6.1 to block YouTube video ads on this device.

Ad block on youtube?

Has anyone had success blocking Youtube ads on stock firmware?
So far I've tried the youtube Adaway xposed module (Link)
Adaway root app (Link)
With MOAB ad block list (link to list from this thread Thread Link)
Sideloading a modded youtube app (Link), doesn't have a TV layout, and no controller support.
Has anyone had any luck blocking youtube ads? I was really hoping the xposed module would work, I've asked on the XDA thread for the module about adding support for android TV youtube and haven't gotten a response.

So now running 3.0 stock (not even rooted). I'm still getting Ad's in youtube, but now they're un-skippable, I hope someone can figure this out soon!

the old adblock android block youtube adds half of the time,but it create tons of other bugs soooo not that good.
root is recomanded

adaway,and adblock Android (not the browser) does it but you need root.
adblock was not updated for a long time I guess...
I am using it on Zulu stock marshmallow rom.

Sucks. I was hoping to keep the device stock as pursuing roms often ends up with other issues and constantly manually updating, and after spending so much time putting roms on my phones I think im done with that.
If anyone has a stock solution, i'll donate, because **** getting 20 identical unskippable ads a day.

adblock browser then watch YouTube from the desktop site. you can set it as the default option in YouTube site itself.
you just need to side load the browser app.
or buy YouTube red.
or pay OG YouTube no add function.

If you are rooted and don't mind installing xposed, since a couple weeks ago youtube adaway module now works with the youtube Android tv app.
Enjoy.

Been watching YouTube app for about an hour now, not one ad.
Stock rom, rooted, using adaway (just the apk, not the browser, not using exposed)
Update....literally watched for hours (3+) yesterday and never saw a single ad.
Btw, I was using MoaAB until recently. I found it was really affecting loading/buffering times with certain addons in SMPC. Redid my entire setup again, this time using just adaway and issues are gone (as well as the ads)

How to improve the battery performance?

Which apps should I use? I have a rooted system

using huawei setting is a good way, Greenify, with root give good result. I've try xposed framework tip's but, for me , maybe you can adjust/set the way your battery is working but just install xposed give a huge drain battery. I've test V84, V85 and V86 and with just framework manager with no modules I had 20 or 30 % lost in the night VS maybe 6-8 % without.
Excuse my poor English

Personnaly i use Naptime to hibernate the phone when it is not used, and the Amplify Xposed module to kill wakelocks, then increase stand-by battery life.

For me, the best " battery saving mode " was the "stamina" mode on sony device. I saw there is a plan to port this mode ( stamina ) on any android device, using xposed module --> http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.jzhang.powernap
For me, battery is ok without framework, but if you want take a look...
But I repeat, using Huawei setting is a good way : phone manager ( ? in french it's gestionnaire de téléphone ) explore menu, and setting / app/advanced setting / ignore battery optimisation ( ?)

I personally use Xposed with greenfy module, and L Speed app (From Play Store).
I can use the phone the whole day without recharging it.
I can recommend you also Amplify module ?

I dont understand how greenify works. So if I greenify whatsapp for example do I still get messages on time?
Which apps should I greenify? Could someone write a list with some apps? Thx

Greenify keeps turning off the apps. This is how it works.
That means you won't get messages, as long as the app is not opened.

there is a feature that allow you to get updated message from your app while this one is greenified. Works with many message app.
edit : maybe you need xposed module of greenify

The apps when you close them, they still are on "background". Greenfy close them totally. I use greenfy on every apps on my phone except for Nova Launcher, WhatsApp and some Xposed modules

with donate version you can hibernate app and get message, even it's hibernated :
from greenify description from play store :
"* Greenify system apps (now without Xposed)
* Allow GCM push for hibernated apps"

True, but you need to be sure the app supports GCM

Thanks to everybody!

No problem

How to install apps

Hi, in IOS you can install teaks via Cydia, for example, to avoid ads in youtube. How do I do that in android? How can I install spotify without ads or snapchat so they don't see that I opened it, etc...?
Thanks

For ads, adaway, for snapchat I'm not sure, there used to be an xposed module for something like that but the developer got threatened by snapchat and shut down. Look up xposed

If you're using full stock and adblockers aren't working you might have to go for YouTube Red.

You're going to need root for any of that. Xposed as well, it's along the lines of Cydia for Android.

alternative to a few xposed functions ?

hy guys,
I transformed from the op6red to op6t macclaren, unfortunately android 9/ pie does not support xposed, I mainly used gravity box module to controll the volume triggers for skipping tracks, and xinsta to download instagram vids or pictures on my op6red oreo.
does someone know other alternatives that I can use on android 9.0 to controll volume buttons to skip tracks and also download insta vids or pictures.
Please let me know
