I'm running a slimmed down stock rooted ROM and don't have ad blocking baked in. What methods are available and viable for our phone right now?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Same as any other phone. Just use Adfree. Works fine.
If you're rooted, AdAway is about as good as it gets in my opinion.
Im running adaway and love it. When adaway blocks an add on a webpage it just displace a white blank image anyway to make it not show at all?
I'm rooted and AdAway has been my favorite for my Nexus devices.
Another Adaway user.
AdAway here. Works well, takes little thought or effort
Adaway FTW, adfree's blacklist is not as comprehensive and does not always seem to work for me atleast.
Adaway just works
adaway
+1 for Adaway. The best there is.
Adguard for unrooted.
Adguard in VPN mode.
Another one here for Adaway. Used it for years. Set it up and forget about it, runs perfectly.
+1 for AdAway

I've always liked Adfree better than adaway, but when I tried it on my 6p, some YouTube ads wouldn't play and then the actual video I wanted to watch wouldn't play.
AdAway works great.
Why am I not seeing adaway in the play store?
The #NoChromo browser works wonders too

Google removed it from the play store for obvious reasons. Look for it in f-droid
Anyone have a link for AdAway?

Will we be able to load the AOSP browser on the Nexus 10? Google still cant seem to get the lag out of chrome. It makes the tablet look laggy from the reviews I've seen.

AOSP browser will still be available, when 4.2 is released to AOSP, will probably require root to install it. Chrome for Android is not open-source yet, so Google has to also release a Chromium AOSP browser.
Galaxy Nexus Browser
I will love to see the browser with a Google chrome theme
Because Google chrome mobile don't have the browser futures
I can't believe it
yes perfect possible i did before.
The AOSP browser is almost the best browser for the platform IMO, just barely behind Dolphin Browser and Boat.

This hack works for Nexus 7 with jb 4.2:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/nexus-7-hack-install-aosp-android-browser-n7/
And I am pretty sure that it will work in Nexus 10 as well....
The aosp browser is by far the fasted browser I've benchmarked
so the first thing I'm going to do after getting root access is install it as my default

You are right not just the fastest BUT also the MOST STABLE.... Chrome was crashing and making my system slow
I hate google chrome when I updated Nexus 7 to 4.2 i was mad untill I was able to install ASOP....
..
I just can't believe Google actually uses chrome and thinks its actually acceptable to ship devices with this especially over the aosp browser.

Well it's a Google product and it's their flagship browser, but they better optimize it...
Is the stock JB browser available to install?
Haven't found AOSP browser yet, but for now I'm sticking with HoloWeb. I really like the synchronisation and the interface with chrome but the performance just isnt't there (yet)...
And by the way: Got 790ms in sunspider with HoloWeb

Tried this method and it forces closes every time I try to open it....
That happened to me a few times also, but I did it first with Browser 4.1 apk, and then copied 4.2 apk, rebooting also helped...

This method working on my n10.
You need to rename the two browser proxy files as well.

Slide83 asked if I knew of a way of getting AOSP browser working on the Nexus 10, this a method that has worked for me before.
> Must be rooted.
> Copy the browser.apk into the system/app folder
> With a root file explorer change the file permissions of the browser.apk to -rw-rw-r (you will see this represented as 664) If you don't do this, it won't install.
> You must rename the BrowserProviderProxy.apk & BrowserProviderProxy.odex otherwise the browser will force close, just add a 1 to the name e.g. 1BrowserProviderProxy.apk1 Do not delete them, if you still want to OTA update Android. Android checks for any changes to the system/app folder before performing an OTA, so you will have to delete the browser.apk and rename the two file back to stock, when it is OTA time.
Any Nexus 10 owner that gets AOSP browser 4.2 working, please post Sunspider, Geekbench and Google Octane scores! (please)
I have installed BOAT BROWSER in my Nexus 7, and I can tell that it is so far THE BEST AND MOST STABLE BROWSER that I have ever encountered...
It does support flash, and it is better than AOSP...
Looks very pretty on my Nexus 7 , and I have set BOAT BROWSER as my default browser.
I have installed DOLPHIN as well and it is also very good and pretty in the Nexus 7....

GravityBox...
Gravitybox explicitly states to NOT use with Touchwiz based ROM's.
Have you tried it with good results?
I use GravityBox for a few mods, I used to use it on my S3, and now I am using it on my S5...
I have always had TouchWiz on both.
That's all the motivation I need to give it a try, thank you so much. Some mods make me nervous lol.
---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------
Mods seem similar to Wanam however on that the track skip didn't work. I'll have to play around with GB and see if those work.
try Frinky Music Controller https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=frinky.volumeKeys.music.controller&hl=en

Enjoy if it works in your phone
Hey guys.
Today I was fiddling with my friends s7 edge's Facebook app settings and saw that he has an option to Upload videos on the app with HD resolution, and I only have the option to Upload photos. We are on the same version of the app and both on the s7 edge. I'm running on 7.0 at the moment, but on MM there was never the option either.
Anyone knows how I can have the option? Thanks

I can confirm I only have the option to upload photos in HD and not videos, I'm also on Nougat and have the same version of FB installed....iirc I used to have the option.
I have read online from what others have posted and the only way to upload videos in HD on Android is via Chrome when in desktop mode, I haven't tried this and it also doesn't explain why your friend can, it's pretty bizarre!
This Is my friend's option list. I don't have Neither the video option nor the search for updates "atualizacoes de app"
How weird is this... lol
I can't also find the stock app that comes with the phone either, since Maybe that's what he has and just updated. I don't know

Nothing... I signed up for the beta 30 minutes ago to see if I can get the option though.
I guess he is one lucky guy, lol
I also have this option.
My app is version 102.0.0.28.70
Is there anyway you can make an apk out of your app? I even downloaded the beta and still have nothing.
I don't understand how on the same device running the same app we can have different options...

Ok guys, so I found this and I think it's it
"The latest version of that app loaded with this neat capability now sits at 68.0.0.37.59. However, a report from Android Police, which initially shared the news, says that Facebook seems to be rolling out this new functionality as a server-side switch. This means that not all of its users who have updated the app to the most recent version see this particular option."
No hd from the app for us yet.
Thank you guys anyway

Have you tried updating Chrome as I believe it replaces this and should get you working again?

You need to download the app from their website.

The Adhell3 dev put together some scripts that pretty much automates building:

It's much easier to me than trying to hack a prebuilt app. Plus, you know you have the latest and greatest version.

Dns and vpn in general are not a threat.
A malicious dns provider could redirect your traffic to a clone of your banking site.
A malicious dev or vpn could play man in the middle and copy or snoop on all your traffic.
Really is about who you trust. Turning vpn and your selected dns off means you trust your service provider more. Which is prob fine.
My vpn is provided by ProtonVPN, I trust them. I use the OpenVpn app and trust them, so I leave VPN connected 24/7
