Hi everyone,
I was trying to get my i9500 rooted.
Successfully done.
SU is there, Titanium Backup works etc.
But, the Adaway did not do his job. I still receive the Ad messages on my notification bar!
The Adaway is working great on my Note 10.1, S2 and S3 but in S4 is looking like no working.
Also, the Root Uninstaller have a strange behavior: is uninstalling the app but the message come as the app was not successfully uninstalled!
I am the only one having this issues? I did not rooted properly the S4?
I have trying different types of rooting. The same issue.
Any advice?
Thank you all

After checking the root with root checker, message was that the device is rooted.

The Rootuninstaller have the sa behavior: after uninstalling a root app the message is still....uninstalling app was unsuccessfully.
Update: the Chinese messages are still coming on my notifications bar!

I agree with this. It will be a pain in the butt to test this, but try freezing or uninstalling everything. (Make a titanium backup of all your apps first, then uninstall them all)
Then resintall them in groups of like 5 or 10 at a time. Wait however long it usually is between these Chinese messages to restore the next group. I'll bet you see the messages stop when you uninstall everything, then see them return only after restoring the block of apps that contain the one that's letting messages through.
For this experiment, freezing should work just as well as uninstalling. Might be easier that way.
Or do it the other way and freeze blocks of 10 at a time to see what makes the messages stop.
Once you identify the block of 10 that contains the 1 bad one, repeat the experiment 1 app at a time within thsoe 10.
You can also take educated guesses on which of your apps are the most likely to be the bad apple. Titanium and ROM Manager and other popular apps that everyone else is using with no problem probably aren't your bad app. I'd start with the more obscure ones you have. Also check the feedback on teh Play store of your more obscure apps. See if other people are making the same complaints you have about one of your apps. (That only works though if the app has some level of popularity. If it's got 12 downloads you're unlikely to have anyone leaving feedback on it)
I do agree with all of you.
The messages are coming form a app or game! Thrue!
But how do you explain that, all other my devices, Note 10.1, Galaxy Pad 10.1, S2 and S3 have the same App and games instaled does not have any problem and only S4 have?
Non of the others, after installing AdAway, have no f...ing Chinese messages, and the S4 have?
Same App same games.....
My S4, I9500, is on stock 4.3 room with Perseus kernel.

Adaway has nothing to do with ad notifications, only with ad banners. Once I saw an app that can detect and block that notifications but I don't remember its name. Maybe you can search in gplay...

Ok, but this did not explain why all other devices with same app, games I dont have, after installing adaway are stopping the Chinese messages and the S4 not!
May the adaway block the notifications also, because is blocking the access to add sites...

Maybe that messages are programmed to be shown only in a S4 device (for example advising any weather app) and but in other models... there are a lot of possible explanations to that...

Yesterday I uninstall the AdAway from all other devices.
Immediately, the messages in notification bar started to come.
I reinstall it again and the messages stoped.
Meaning that the messages there are not only for S4!

Hold click on the chinese notification then choose app info and simply remove this app

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

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 use AdAway on f-droid.

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

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.

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
