[APP][5.0+] Blokada ad blocker [open source][without root][v4]

Soooo adaway is always showing "0 ads blocked" when I slide the notification menu down, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I have a oneplus 3 and was using a different rom before (aosp based), and would always show that it blocked so many ads until I restarted the phone and the count would revert to 0. That rom might of no had the latest security patch bc the rom hadn't been updated when I switched to the new rom. Now, I am on a different rom (resurrection remix) and that rom is updated with the latest security patch. I don't know if it's bc of the security patch or if it's because of something else but is this normal? Blokada always showing no ads blocked?

P.S. : let me add that at least on chrome, I have no ads and also every now and then Blokada will show about one or two ads blocked

I do not know, it should work. Try it without root. I'm almost without problems, I'm using stock rom 7.0 Nougat

I thought this does not request root access, so would having root enabled or not change things?

The counter should go up, but it does reset if the app gets restarted. To test it just open chrome and google for "ad blocker test page".

It shouldn't change a thing.

Nope, no ads... But no counter going up either... Strange

As of yesterday this app started blocking all internet traffic.

Been working great for weeks but now I have to disable it to get internet (both from WiFi and lte)

I tried switching to another list but got the same behavior. Uninstalled for now

@orthonovum you could also try to switch from optimized to standard blocking and see if it works. Whats your device and Android version?

Having the start up on boot function enabled doesn't seem to be working in the strictest sense. The VPN icon doesn't show up in the notication bar and the app indicates that the blocker isn't active. Using Chrome as a test, it reloaded an open tab with the ads. However when you refresh the page, the VPN icon appears in the bar and ads are gone.

I'm running Stock 7.0 on the HTC 10 with the Optimized Method

*Edit*
This is odd, I did a power off and let it sit there for a couple minutes than powered the phone back on and left it alone while I responded to some work stuff. Come back and the VPN icon is in the notif bar.

Start on boot is improved for 2.0!

Also, I'm about to make a release in the next few days, got one last bug to figure out.

I'm currently verifying translations (as much as I'm able to

). I had to add a few (not much) new phrases. Could anyone translate the missing bits for: Spanish, Czech? (French is already done!)

We are at roughly 40% German translation and 20% Portuguese. Would be awesome if we could include them in 2.0.

I've introduced a new "essential" label for the phrases that have to be translated for me to be able to include the translation in the release. It's only a fraction of all phrases. You can find the label filter in the sidebar (screenshot attached).

Help is greatly appreciated!

!

Yeah!. I received a notification and needed a break from work, so I translated the new words...
And it was also for the pleasure of being able to say "I was first" afterwards... ?

Looking forward to the new version...
Thanks.

Thanks @EViollet, that was real quick

You haven't added yourself into credits if I remember correctly, you definitely should

I'm using it for a few days now and I'm liking it, mainly because it seems that it does not increase the battery consumption significantly. I'll take a look to help in the Brazilian Portuguese translation. A question only, is there any way to hide the padlock icon from the status bar? I'm testing the app on a OnePlus 3t with the official ROM.

MIKEMON · Jul 20, 2017

I am very happy with this application and great thanks devs. And a friend.

Nice app, thanks!

@MIKEMON Thanks

Could you have a quick look at Czech translation? Just a few new strings added:

Unfortunately no, its a system thing.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Sorry ... I'm Brazilian, so I can only help with English to Portuguese translations.
