which version do you use?

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 using it too on my redmi 4x and Samsung A5 2017, and it works flawlessly

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.

I use the sdk 27 90.0-beta1 i suppose beta 3 will work too but idk why i haven't updated it ?
You should disable resource hook before flashing the zip and use the compatible apk it was called xposed magisk apk easy to find

Actually both le pro 3 and le max 2 are working. But if you want to install viper and dolby together, you will need to install old version of VIPER.

You can use arise so you can both have dolby and viper (yes the latest 2.5.0.5 one) plus the magisk compatibility module with the mod. Just configure install options in arise_customize.prop file then flash the zip. And you can try, add/delete other mods (included in arise) by creating other arise_customize.prop files and reflash the same zip to do it too.

OP6T users, what adblock combination do you use? Rooted and non root

As per my title, I would like to know what other users use for blocking ads.

I have added a few lists and deleted the default one. Everytime I open the app it asks for an update implying any changes doesn't reflect. I can't delete my hosts file as well using root explorer.

Reinstall adaway and don't change any settings. Make sure your hosts sources looks like this, and next time you hit apply it should work.

Will try that. I think what happened is that too many entries is on the hosts file. I am trying to use the masterlist from a thread here. I want to restore hosts file but ES file and root explorer can't delete or rename it
non-rooted using blockada with energized and steve black host scripts and adguard dns selected works just fine for me,However this non root thing is a bit new to me,I usually have always unlocked and rooted all previous devices prior to the 6T,but I don't see a reason to do so on the 6t so far.it is quick and great battery life etc..well with exception of missing TB and I more used to adaway.

Adaway will automatically overwrite your hosts file. Shouldn't need to restore the original

I use AdGuard. Works great, full blocking with or without Root.

Non-rooted, using Torguard paid VPN with their ad blocking DNS set within the settings. Works very well. I was a compulsive rooter and was using AdAway butt this works fine and no root needed.
Firefox with uBlock origin, simple and effective, no root necessary
Energized basic list, no issue so far
Adguard. Just got a lifetime license for eight bucks for their holiday sale. Once you've got it set up, forget it. Works better than any other method I've used, because unlike adaway and others, adguard actually blocks elements in pages so you can't even tell there's an ad that's supposed to be there. You can export/import your settings if you reset or change phones. It has per-app settings, too. There's a reason it isn't free but it's worth every penny imo.
Is that holiday sale still going on? I need to find that link and get that

Google Product Sans for Galaxy S10

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to install Google Product Sans (w/o root).
I tried a couple of methods (this and System Mod module for Substratum) but bot doesn't works.
Did someone find a way?

Tried right now, same as System Mod, when I try to install an overlay it fail the installation.
Maybe the problem is that Substratum is not compatible yet with the S10? It worked on the S9 with OneUI
Maybe with ThemeGalaxy? Anyone that have the paid versione can check if it works?

From pinned post in their telegram channel:
IMPORTANT NOTICE
On Exynos S8 & Note8 One UI Pie beta builds Samsung has blocked 3rd party overlay installations through the Package Manager. This is a security patch made by Google last year.
Wings Fonts v3 and other theming apps like substratum unfortunately don't work anymore for unrooted users. This is also expected to change in the future for other Samsung devices like S9 & Note9.

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)

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)
