AdAway lets you use custom blocklists, so you can block whatever hosts you want. It downloads several online blocklists by default and combines them together. What list does Adfree use?

Will new versions be linked in the op since Google removed ad blockers from play?

I'd rather see newer versions of the App in the OP of this thread...
App Stores are ways and methods for the site host to generate page clicks, search results and mulct ad revenues, and i think that goes against the nature of this app.

I was uploading to slideme.org until I had issues with old signing keys being lost.

@qashqool
Because ad blocking relies on the hosts file, before installing AdFree, you had to revert to the original one.
So, now you have two possibilities :
- re-instal AdFree and tap on the button located on top right and named "Remove hosts" (or something like that, sorry, I'm using another language)
OR
- use a file explorer which can access to /etc in Read-Write (root needed) and delete all the content of hosts file except the "127.0.0.1 localhost" entry (or replace the hosts file by a file containing only this entry).

As far as AdFree is no more on the Play store, this thread and its OP become our reference.
So may I suggest you to use your OP to trace and document all changes on the app ?
You could for instance :
- put the download link
- list all versions with a change log
This could explain us what changes are included in the new version you've published on your web site (as shown in post #1309).
Thanks for your help and for maintaining this helpful app.

21You can find the latest version of this app on the slideme app store.

This is the old thread, I started a new thread in the general section => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40759351

Spoiled by ad free browsing on my normal desktop computer it became increasingly annoying seeing all the ads on my phone. However it's really easy to make them disappear, although you most likely will need root on the phone.
Download the hosts.txt file from http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt, you may need to run dos2unix over the file to remote \r characters, rename the file hosts and copy it to /system/etc on your phone and say goodbye to most ads.
You may find the list to be imperfect, for example some feedburner URLs are "blocked" as a result which can screw with RSS feeds, although it's annoying giving too much info to Google but like everything else in life some things are a trade off.
If you want to root your phone, try this article.7
I've been dreading this day since my hdd was wiped a while back, I've uploaded a new version using a new signing key 0.8.45, but you'll need to remove the current version first.6

Hi folks,
I have released my own hosts-based ad blocker named AdAway, it can be found on the market with the following features:
- AdAway is Open Source
- AdAway lets you select your own sources of hosts files
- You can add exceptions to your Whitelist if some apps are not working with ads disabled
- You can define extra hostnames in your own Blacklist
Market: market.android.com/details?id=org.adaway
Website: code.google.com/p/ad-away
Source: gitorious.org/adaway
I would like to hear suggestions and ideas for possible future releases. Please look into the Issue tracker before and add your suggestions there: code.google.com/p/ad-away/issues/list5Here, a quick edit of the host file to fix the Words with Friends and Medscape. Just copy and paste it into "/system/etc" and overwrite the host file or wherever your host file is located.
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?mda7sx9eovfkh03
If you wanna do this yourself, use a text editor like Notepad++ and just remove any references to server that's being overlayed in Words With Friends and any references to Medscape.
