Is there a way to workaround this problem? I would like to have a new wallpaper every day but when I apply hosts from adaway shot on OnePlus doesn't work anymore and can't load new photos... It says that there is no network
Put the url on the whitelist of adaway

I've already tried but it doesn't work.. what URL should I put in the whitelist?
That is specific to the app. Obviously, the server where that app tries to retrieve its wallpapers is on one of the Adaway lists. You could try to monitor that app with the app "Network connections" to see where it tries to go.

Yeah I've tried it using another app (packet capture), but it seems not working. I've tried with ip and URL but photos don't load
Adaway allows to log DNS requests.. I would try that, enable logging, try to update, review that log.

Thank you RealGalaxyLink!
That helped me fix my problems.
I am using adaway to block ads and it also blocked the "shot on oneplus" feature. Now I whitelisted the URL you provided and everything works like a charm.
Take my thank you

The symptom is, each time I switch on my tablet, I receive a notification in lower right corner promoting something like lucky draw, game, etc. If I click on the notification, it automatically starts downloading apk. The apk is always named like yyyymmddxxxxxxxxxxx.apk. I never run those apks, I guess they are not friendly. How can I check which app I installed is doing this?

First check what you have installed recently. Could be one of those apps give spam notifications. I saw something similar on my bro-in-law phone and that was because he installed some kind of "enhancement" program to make his phone run more efficient (it didn't help bytheway).
Also, since you didn't say what OS you're running, 4.0+ has the option to disable notifications when you go to settings>applications>app name. If you find its an app you need, then that might help.
If you thinks its beyond this, then install lookout or norton from the market.
It's not malware, they're called push notification ads. Just download "Ad Blocker" (root required) from the market and it will tell you which app(s) is doing this. You can also choose to delete it from within the app.
Pretty handy.

I don't have it now, I will load it when I get it next time.
However I have the list of apps I installed because I sent it to the author of push detector. How can I send it to you? I just don't want to post it here.
I have another finding, which seems odd to me: I set the home page of chrome to be blank, and I double checked that, but each time I open the browser it always opens a search page with a lot of informations (looks like a portal but I don't like it). How can I know which app replaces my home page with such rubish?
Is it possible the 3G provider does this kind of things? (notification ads and home replacement)?

No, your network provider would have nothing to do with push notification ads or homepage replacement. And as for setting your homepage in Google chrome, are you talking about the desktop version? Because I don't believe you can make that selection on the mobile version, unless I'm missing something?
BTW, you can send that list to me in a PM if you'd like.

Try this app, it will tell you every app that has a shady ad network and you can delete it. A friend of mine had an app that was creating a ton of shortcuts all over her home screens.

In Chrome settings you can set your home page. But it seems it's the 3G provider that replaces the home page for me.

Hi guys! I would like to know which ad blocking software do you use in your S5.
I've been using AdAway in my G900F, but it doesn't work 100% properly.
Soo tell me! Which one are you using? Does it work? Which could you say is the best app for blocking ads on the S5?
Does it completly erradicates all ads? Does it leaves the non-intrusive ones?
Root required - non root requiered, anything! :fingers-crossed:
I'm using AdAway and it's working perfect. Have you tried Adfree? That works good too

That's weird... for me it doesn't block all ads, for example in apps I usually get that white ad rectangle in the lower part of the screen.
Hey does someone knows a way to remove ads from videos in youtube? Because AdAway doesn't block those does it? (the ones that shows before the video starts), I've heard of some, but they all need xposed....
I've used many apps and they don't work. Don't know why.
Minminguard has been pretty awesome for me, gets rid of all ads. Have to be rooted and use the exposed app to download it.

toally agreed. I'm using also AdAway. In Firefox, i'm using adblock-edge also.
I myself use AdAway and it works quite good.
And if you use Xposed, you can use the "YouTube Adaway" module so you dont get any ads on YouTube .
Another advice: If you use this module, you can also use the "YouTube Background Playback" module from xposed too, so you can play music even when you leave the YouTube app.
always use HOSTS file method
theres forum called Motherofalladblocking
see it
So, I know we are still a long way off from a real root solution, given the locked bootloader issue. However, would there be some way to get root at least until a reboot. I've got a couple of apps that I can't live without, and as I am about to get my S7 Edge, I am getting concerned.
Top of the list:
1. Titanium
2. Ad blocker
Use AdGuard, NetGuard or Block-This for ad blocking, works just as good. going without TiBu sucks though.

Package Diabler Pro on Google Play is an excellent program that you can use to disable aps you want to 'freeze". Not as good as Titanium Backup but a good secondary choice

Not sure if it was a bad install, but I tried Block-This last night and it worked great, until I restarted my phone. I couldn't swipe left or right on home screen, and couldn't access app drawer. I had to uninstall it by pulling down from top and going into settings then app management. As soon as I uninstalled all was working again.

It's a virtual VPN. Your data doesn't go through anyour outside servers. It just let's you use a HOSTS file without root. Personally I use NetGuard. I had issues with Block this.

I get this message trying to take screenshots on random apps such as my bank and the PlayStation app. I could take screenshots on any screen before the update.

something for messed up in your permissions. And screen shot is being blocked. Might need to factory reset. Could be the bank all blocking the screen shots.

I don't understand the permission part since it's only select apps. If it was the bank app I would think it would block my girlfriends app also but it doesn't.
Try using the app named "screenshot touch" available in the playstore for free
http://repo.xposed.info/module/fi.veetipaananen.android.disableflagsecure
Looks like a permission issue. I just had the same issue. I couldn't take screenshot on Brave browser (for you it could be any other app).
I fixed the problem by going to
Settings >> Applications >> Application permissions >> Brave
and enabling the "Use networks" permission.
At first look it seems unrelated but I'm going to assume it might be needed for the picture meta data (exif data).
If this specific permission doesn't do the trick for you, just enable them all for the app and should probably work.

Hi,
sorry if this was asked before - but now Adhell is dead, SABS is DMCA'd - what can we do for Adblocking now, despite using the Samsung browser with Plugins?
Any other way without root/hosts file? Thanks.

Or you could run pihole on raspberry for network wide adblocking rather than individual devices. Plus you can run openvpn so you can browse safely through your home network when off site.

use this. follow the adb directions and itll work. its what im using

The thing that frustrates me with Disconnect Pro is that there's no custom list functionality. Otherwise it would be probably the best available.
+1 for Raspberry Pi and the use OpenVPN to tunnel DNS whilst not at home.
Here is the apk for SABS for those that want to set it up
Blokada (www.blokada.org) works really well.
It is free and open source and works across all apps (not only the browser)!
It doesn't require root, supports both wifi and mobile networks, and is perfectly safe and simple to use.
You can make exceptions for certain apps and hosts and it is using Black- and Whitelists.
Just make sure the app gets not killed by battery optimization and things like that (there is a setting to ensure it keeps running - showing a VPN symbol in the status bar).
Best regards
Amber

kinda like what I said about VPN Hosts..... which is free ... you provide the hosts file and you flip a virtual switch to turn in on or off anytime.. puts the virtual private network icon up in the top bar so you know its on ... and its free too ... I like simple and it is...
There you go. there is a new one. its called NotSABS. Its basically the same as SABS but uts been update it from a different dev. Ive been using it for weeks now without having a problem. :good:
