Default Airblocker App

I have MP3 download, tunee music, and music junk downloaded (use one or the other when I get the network error). As most of us know these apps will push ads to the notification tray. I downloaded Airblocker App and it detects these and I have chosen to block ads.

I am not getting the ads as often but still the occasional one... which is very annoying.


Anyone have any other methods or apps to block these?

The worst is when they add shortcuts to the screen. Ugh

Anyways the best I can do is this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....security.lite

I use this to block Swype from gathering info so I imagine it would work for something like this as well. I know what you are talking about I just haven't tested this for that yet. Lemme know, it should work

The new mp3 app is legit, I still recommend this permission manager. This lets you control permission for everything... similar to the new superuser controls.

Where does one get this "permission manager" from?

From the market. There are several. I used to use one called "permissions free", I think that is what it was called. Be careful though changing some of the permissions may cause force close on the app. A uninstall reinstall should fix that if it does happen.

Root required

special thanks for posting this. I LOVE this app and it is by far the most thorough app to control access to your phone
