[Xposed] MinMinGuard v2.0.2
- Thread starter FatMinMin
- Start date
Just to clarify some concerns here. I only opened this thread based on information and links from someone other than the OP, the intent was to continue a good faith effort for further development for this.
Still waiting for reply - So be prepared for any eventual outcome.

Only a cosmetic bug, if you use the dark theme you can no see the squares to mark an app.

Impossible to reinstall an application
Hello
I have trying your software with an application.
After some time, this application does not serve me, so I uninstall it
A new version of this application is out, but now it is impossible for me to reinstall this application (the old version and/or the new).
How can I get it?
Is there anything to remove to prevent this blockage?

I'm glad to see this module back in action. I never uninstalled the last version. Hopefully the OP will comment and let us know what is happening. I'll hold off updating until then.
I have a question and I honestly mean no disrespect but what does "support the developers" mean? Click on ads? I ask because my understanding is that ad revenue is based on click-through and install rates from ads. I'm curious because I for one have Never intentionally clicked on an ad and find it very difficult to believe that anyone that is rooted and has Xposed installed is actually going to be someone who clicks through ads from inside an app! All of us that use adblockers of whatever type are the ones who will rarely "if ever" click through an ad, why would that change just because we now see ads in apps? Is anyone using this module that wasn't already using a hosts file or adblocker for their browser? I already did. Besides, most people, like myself, will buy premium/donate versions of apps anyway. Pretty much every app I have is a paid version if one is available, the only two apps I have that I see ads in without this module installed are GasBuddy and Wifi Analyzer. I honestly believe that the vast majority of us will not ever be ad revenue producers, regardless if this module is available or not! The Very Few who have managed to install a ton of apps with ads do need to suck it up and quite being cheap bastards, buy the donate version if one is available, "support the developers!" But... like I said, the majority of us will never generate ad revenue and still support the developers! All the drama regarding stopping the development of this module was pointless. As much as it is not worth, just my two cents!
For the two apps I see ads in this module works great! Appreciate the update!

+1 very well said and true to the point!

The dev doesn't get paid unless there's a click in any of the major ad networks. Considering it's a phone with limited real estate the major source of clicks has got to be user error. While this module was in hiatus I had to use Lucky for a few apps to return them to usable status, a tedious manual process. Glad to see Min's back!
I can't say for certain, but it's working great for me and looks consistent with previous versions.
I find quite honorable you feel the worrie if your module is privacy or is not.
For me it is only a tool, any tool can be used for the good or bad.
If some Apps the only diference in pay or free is to have or not ads then the USER should know to dont block those ads...or pay for those.
How ever some apps just over-do with ads where you can even use it without have a popup add in full screen on every click inside the app (yes this exist). this i find terrible and i refuse to keep seeing the add if the dev want to make a quick buck but every 10 secs put a full screen ad on my phone.
You create a great tool for filter, who over and who doesent over do.
Also this kind of show the odity that Linux is. The plataform is free, was born to be supported by the comunity for free...but people want to make money now and to "keep free" they use ads (and most over use).
Good to see its back, we user will use your amazing tool with maturity to only enable on intrusive ones

On subject they should make it where you only get x amount of ads to "pay" for the app so if you have an app that cost 3bucks for pro you should only get that many ads till its payed off.
Atleast in my own opinion.
Then do like what hayday does you can get gems or special money after an ad
Anyways glad to see you back an this amazing app is back as well c: thanks

I can't give you a complete answer because I don't have it - you can search yourself for that, I'm sure there is more detailed information around the Internet. In short, though, and this might depend on the ad provider, you usually get paid a small amount just for displaying ads.I have a question and I honestly mean no disrespect but what does "support the developers" mean?

Now of course, the decision is up to you and this isn't a discussion about monetization and revenue… so you can do whatever you want.
Just check the GitHub commits. The latest commits are all by the original author.

Introduction:
Hi everyone,
Here I am going to share with you my newly developed Xposed module, MinMinGuard. It can completely remove both the ads inside apps and the empty space caused by those ads. Conventional ads removing apps are only able to block the ad content, but the space taken by the ad will still remain unused (black). MinMinGuard successfully removes that black space, which extends the app window and makes your user-experience better.
You can find more information here.

FAQ:
Q: Why there is still ads in a few apps?
A: Some apps use differnt Ad Networks' SDK (Mostly some local ads providers ex: Vpon in Taiwan) that is not currently supported by MinMinGuard. If you encounter this situation, you can open a new issue on Github to let me know and I will try to fix it. The issue should contains at least "appname", "download link" and "which page in the app show the ads". If you don't know how to use Github, you can alternatively fill in this form and I will create the issue for you.
Q: Why ads in websites is still showing?
A: MinMinGuard currently only blocks the "in-app" ads. Blocking ads in websites may be the future work.
Q: Can I use MinMinGuard along with Adaway?(or any other adblocker)
A: Yes, they should work perfectly with each other.

ps: It's so great to have Xposed working for Lollipop39Hi all,
Due to my daily job and career focus, I can hardly find time to maintain MinMinGuard in recent years. However, it is luckily that MinMinGuard finally has an enthusiastic and brilliant developer @MSkjel who is willing to take over its future development.
Thank you all for the support for MinMinGuard in this years and cheers for @MSkjel .38MinMinGuard 2.0.1 alpha1 works with Virtual Xposed
