As per my title, I would like to know what other users use for blocking ads.
I've been using AdAway and some hosts file here in XDA but I'm having issues so I am looking for alternatives
Adaway+brave browser, what issues are you having?

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

Let me know how you like Energized, I haven't tried it yet but was checking it out in the repo
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

How to install Xposed on your Snapdragon S8+
I want to thank the man @elliwigy for making root happen!
I also want to thank @ErnyTech for making Xposed happen also!
Now it's time to share how to install this bad boy on Snapdragon S8+
First, you will need is flash fire and root to make this work!
Make sure you download these files to get Xposed to work people it's an easy way to work
1.https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=25965
2.https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B8N7MRg8VIZRMVN5eFVEdGdoaFU
Make sure you get the updated version for link number 1
Installed apk first then in flash fire make you put Android Nougat SDK24 7.0 into the flash zip or ota section
MAKE SURE! you dont check auto-mount and mount/system read/then just hit the check on the top right corner
After let it do its magic and hit flash and ones it boots back up Xposed should be working

Well, I'm officially getting old I guess...
Was hoping to see if root cloak works and I see that hasn't been supported for a while. So, I went ahead and uninstalled using the uninstaller.zip arm64 for sdk 24, most recent version.
Anyone wondering;
Uninstalling, for me, went just as easy as installing.
Sounds like everything, for 7.0+ is still in beta/testing by rovo so do all this at your own risk.

I don't see the point in uninstalling because root clock doesn't work though, eitherway you can't use Knox or SafetyNet so might as well have Xposed.
Also there is another module called No Device Check which lets you use simpler apps like Snapchat, Mario Run, Pokemon GO etc... no Android Pay though.

A2017g with lineageos and magisk.
this evening i did something to block all communication with facebook: either through app or if i try to visit the website via chrome. any other app works fine.
at first I thought it could have been an ad blocker, so i disabled in xposed minminguard and in magisk unified hosts adblock. i also rebooted the phone several times, but the problem persists.
do you have any clue how could i fix this?
@Ficus*，
Have you fixed this issue in your phone? You can contact with FACEBOOK or cancel the restriction on FACEBOOK.

If you use the Unified Host Manager app, disable the Master + social option, or use the whitelist.
The Master + porn option also blocks 4chan, lol.
Yes that was the reason probably, I blocked socials in Unified Host Manager app. In the end i solved by just removing unified hosts adblock and using Minminguard on xposed instead.
Xposed was released for Oreo! Been so long don't know where to start.
EDIT: (I was just being dumb)
Grab the systemless version. Easiest way is through Magisk. Just make sure your on 15.2 or grab it via the link below.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
I think the best method is using the systemless version for magisk, I just tried it and it works.
Simpy go into modules and you will see the sdk27 version at the very bottom: tap on it, you see there is an updated xposed manager apk made for the new magisk version.
Download the apk, install the module, reboot, install apk, reboot.
Works with no problems
Enjoy

I feel dumb but I don't see xposed anywhere in the modules section of the Magisk Manager app.
Is there some other way I should be finding modules? I click on the hamburger menu and then downloads and there's about 30 or so listed.
---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------
Never mind. I figured out I had to be on Magisk 15.2. I was on 14.5.
So anyway I downloaded the Xposed Installer that is linked in Magisk Manager and installed it. Then I installed Xposed inside of Magisk. The only problem is the Xposed Installer crashes every time I click on a module to download. Does anyone else have this issue?

Yes, I confirm, I don't know if it's caused by Magisk or because it's just a beta...
Anyway there is a workaround, instead of downloading the module from xposed manager, download the apk of the module from internet (official repo website or from whatever you want), because when you are going to install and enable the modules there are no problems, and after a reboot they're working.
Updated op to reflect install options. Happy modding everyone!
Success! ?

Yeah I did everything the same as the way you installed nougat Xposed systemlessly. Also the framework module caused a lot of choppiness on my phone so I uninstalled it anyways
Just a head's up that MinMinGuard causes my Pixel to start crashing like crazy
I have been thinking of installing this since last night, but with it still in beta and modules still needing fixed for 8.1 I just can't see any reason (other than something new for me to play with) that will benefit me enough to deal with the SafetyNet failure.

I am happily enjoying the stock ROM on my XL and I keep the same installed on my wife's Pixel. I spent years swapping out custom ROMs on various devices and expected to do the same when I got the PIxels (very shortly after released almost 2 years ago). After the initial shortage of custom ROMs (due to the new OS engineering method) subsided and plenty came out, I realized there was nothing I was missing enough to deal with running custom and not being able to do a monthly update that takes me literally less than 10 minutes. Besides not missing anything, there is pretty much no bloat I need to get rid of, and the device still runs great even with a handful of "always on" apps. Probably best for you to look at the development sub-forum and do your research there and ask questions.

That's like asking, "which tastes better, vanilla or chocolate?" Make a twrp backup, and give it a try, what you like, another may hate. For me, it's fun to add features when I'm using a rom that is lacking in that department.
Play Fortnite on a rooted or unrooted device with that unlocked bootloader
Hi XDA, I want to show you how to play fortnite with an unlocked bootloader without and with root, here are the steps
Disclaimer: This method will stop the use of magisk modules and magisk hide denies superuser privileges for the root apps hidden, proceed at your own risk and I am not responsible if your account gets banned or for the normal reasons (Thermonuclear war, etc.)
Without Root
Flash one of these kernels listed
KingKernel by kingbri (self promotion)
Flash Kernel by NathanChance
Stock Kernel with safetynet patch
Use EX kernel manager to check if the kernel is installed
Disable USB debugging
Install Fortnite
Profit
With R00T (Magisk modules will not work with this method)
Flash magisk and one of the kernels listed in the unrooted guide
Open magisk manager and grant superuser to all root apps (This is important later)
Open Fortnite installer and install fortnite but DO NOT OPEN IT
Use magisk hide and manually check all of your root apps + the fortnite installer and fortnite app
go into magisk manager settings
Click the "hide magisk manager option"
wait until the app closes out and a few seconds after that
enable magisk core mode in magisk manager settings
Open a file manager and delete the magisk manager folder as well as other folders such as EX or Alogcat
Disable USB debugging
Launch Fortnite
Profit
Always remember to un-hide root apps when you want to use them and hide them when using fortnite, otherwise, you will be kicked for their stupid "security"
Need an invite? Here's a fix
Open up build.prop in a file manager that is NOT CHECKED ON MAGISK HIDE
Edit build.prop to have these lines
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.build.product=star2lte
ro.product.device=star2lte
ro.product.model=SM-G965F
ro.product.name=star2ltexx
Save and reboot
Open magisk manager and magisk hide that file manager
Open Fortnite
You should be able to sign in
If you want to, revert your build.prop to the original settings and you will magically be invited since you participated on a "Samsung Device"
Feel free to rant about Epic games security here, because i'm pretty pissed at them for doing this.
Thanks to this youtube video for showing me how to bypass root checks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ystVcsFjJaE&t=157s

What y2grae is saying is that this is a Pixel XL forum, so obviously the kernels will be for Pixels and this method has most likely only been tested on a Pixel XL. You could find your own kernels and see if this method works for your phone as well.
I can confirm that following this guide worked for me. I can for the first time play Fortnite on my phone.
Edit: I just uninstalled the Fortnite Installer once Fortnite was installed. I don't see the point in keeping it unless I am missing something.

You must keep the Fortnite installer installed. It's what installs updates to the game, and you cannot play on an un-updated game.
stupid question, but i played it on my galaxy s8. but how do i install it on my essential phone now? i dont have any invites. its not that i play it mobile but its nice to have. (and im about to unlock and custom rom my essential phone so yeah..) looking to find how to get it working after that
There is a Reddit Thread that makes it appear like installing Fortnite from Samsungs Galaxy Apps will give you a chance at getting the Galaxy Skin.
I might try using my build prop editor/Galaxy Apps apk and seeing if I have any luck.
Anyone have any input or thoughts about why this might or might not work?
Edit: Seems to be working so far. I changed my build prop, downloaded the installer again and a pop up displayed saying "play 3 matches and unlock the skin in 24-48 hours. Only time will tell if I get it.

Did it work for you? From what I know, after spoofing it to be more 9, you still have to play 3 games but every time you try, it'll kick you out after you jump out of bus which won't let you complete the 3 games you need for he skin.

I was able to play the three games successfully but I don't think I'll be getting the skin from it as I played them over the weekend and it has been well over 48 hours.
There was a thread in the Pixel XL forum that guided you through playing on a rooted device and it works, but editing the build.prop isn't good enough to trick the game into giving you the skin. I read on a reddit thread that the Tab S4 can award the skin multiple times if you factory reset it because there is no imie linked to it so I might try using that instead.

Understood. I have a question: What makes the particular kernels in the first post so special that they pass safety net? I ask because i have a different device (Galaxy Note5) and im not sure which kernel will support passing the latest "invalid response" error that Magisk is currently having. I'm not asking you hunt kernels for me, but what determines it. I looked at the kernels that you suggested on the first post but they didn't mention any notes of patching safety net.

There was a thread in the Pixel XL forum that guided you through playing on a rooted device and it works, but editing the build.prop isn't good enough to trick the game into giving you the skin. I read on a reddit thread that the Tab S4 can award the skin multiple times if you factory reset it because there is no imie linked to it so I might try using that instead.

Can you let me know if it works for you? If it does I'd like to try it myself but changing the build.prop and see if it's works too, assuming that I bypass the VPN error that I keep getting.

Understood. I have a question: What makes the particular kernels in the first post so special that they pass safety net? I ask because i have a different device (Galaxy Note5) and im not sure which kernel will support passing the latest "invalid response" error that Magisk is currently having. I'm not asking you hunt kernels for me, but what determines it. I looked at the kernels that you suggested on the first post but they didn't mention any notes of patching safety net.

The Kernels have nothing to do with the 'Invalid Response' that Magisk is giving you. Magisk gives the 'Invalid Response' not because you fail SafetyNet Check but because Google changed how the API works and Magisk hasn't updated yet to work with it. Even with the 'Invalid Response' you most likely still pass the SafetyNet Check. This has been a known issue for a week or so now.
I believe he chose those Kernels because they include a few extra measures used to hide root/ pass safetynet.

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)
U can use Youtube Vanced

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)

Have you tired to install new YTVanced v. 15.x with SAI? Version 14.x from Magisk works fine but I can't figure out how to install new version. :/ I haven't tried adb yet...
