I use Adaway and it works great but when I find an app I really like I buy the paid version to support the developer.
I use Adaway for the intrusive ads in Chrome.

If u want to get rid of ads in apps, use xposed module minminguard

AdAway

dont know why suddenly it just got off the playstore.
disappeared.
googled up abit and i found this
https://code.google.com/p/ad-away/
I received an email from Google Play that AdAway was removed due to "Violation of section 4.4 of the Developer Distribution Agreement." Thus, it will never be available on Google Play again. Please switch to F-Droid, the open alternative to Google Play!
Allow app installs from 'unknown sources'
Download https://f-droid.org/FDroid.apk to your device
Install this apk
Open F-Droid and search for AdAway
AdAway
AdAway is an open source ad blocker for Android using the hosts file. It needs Android >= 2.1 and ROOT access.

what's F-droid ? like playstore ? is it safe ?
Google Removes All Ad-Blocker Apps From Google Play Store
not sure.. there was a good one Adfree.. even thats gone..
something i found here
http://www.heavy.com/regions/2013/03/google-removes-ad-blocker-apps-from-google-play-store/
Google banned all apps that are blocking adverts from Play. Fck google!
Just found out the same by trying to install an ad blocker on my friend's phone.
I would say F-Droid is pretty safe, at least the AdAway author recommends it!
"Don't be evil?"
Rom Toolbox pro still does adblocking, though I'm not sure if it's as good as or better than Adaway or ABP were. Rom Toolbox Pro is absolutely worth the money for any root user anyway.
Google has also sent an email to jrummy, so even that will be taken down soon.
I got a copy a adaway, if anyone wants it lemme know.
Wtf is Google doing ?
Are they tracking users as well ?
ROM Toolbox includes an ad blocker.
Since Adaway is opensource I've compiled it and posted the latest version here.
its newer than what was in the play store.
Google!!
No one likes adverts and pop ups, Wtf!?
Please don't end up like Apple

Really? Nothing is stopping you from side loading apk's outside of the Play Store, and the adblock apps did break Google's TOS.
But you're right, no one likes ads, but how do you think devs earns money? By giving away their hard work for free? Nope.
If you don't like ads, then buy an ad-free version of the app or side load an adblocker and move on.

Of course I'm all for supporting devs, and if am app is worth paying for I will pay for it.
Most of the ads are just crap and not related to other apps, just things like "increase your penis size by 10"
But rules are rules so i have to accept your comment and agree with you. Side loading apps is okay now n then, but can attract bogus apps so users should be cautious.

Yup, that's just the way it is.
F Droid is a store ONLY for open source apps! So it is to be trusted
just got f-droid.
thank u all for your replies. hope this discussion stays healthy and perhaps in the future there can be some kind of win-win situation.

If you have a rooted phone,
Search a adblock host file here on xda or in a rom you have somewhere and put it manualy with rootexplorer in
/System/etc
Replace the empty existed one
I have a lot of ad block host file on my sdcard and all my rooted phone have it and no ads come on my phone.
All apps on the store just replace/mirror your default host file with a updated one.
But I think it's better to do this manualy,because this host file is very sensistive for network and if you have a bad line in,then a virus or malware could pass.
Or
if it to strong,then you cannot surf on certain site or watch video.
To edit it,
just go on google dash and ads notifier panel,
and copy all network adress,then put them in your edited host file for block it

Think so too. Installed Fdroid.apk and AdAway, Avast said nothing after scanning the files.

Ad free

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!

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

Request: Adblocker

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 =)

Best Ad Blocking App

I just rooted my phone and was curious what others use. What's the best ad blocking app out there?
I use AdAway
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
I prefer AdFree. http://adfree.odiousapps.com/
I also suggest adaway.
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway
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.
