I gave up YouTube a while ago for Viral ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Mata.YTplayer ). It doesn't have buffer issues that YouTube has and it can open in a floating popup mode.
@j1gga84, Adaway works and ad block plus in most cases does not.
Also ad block plus didn't work on my nexus 4, it shutted off 3G constantly after enabling it.

I have latest adaway and I have only problem with one app (Caynax A6W). It'says that I buy PRO version or stop blocking ads.
I have two questions:
1) How can app (without root) know if I use adblocker even in airplane mode?
2) Can I whitelist this app (it doesn't have intrusive ads) ?

For those of you that don't know, the looping issue with it trying to apply hosts and getting stuck is somehow related to the hide reboot dialog option. If you make sure the box is unchecked, then clear the app cache in android app settings and restart the app (I'll be fully honest, I don't remember the exact process, I may have reverted (disabled) hosts after that and rebooted) it should work. I have 2.8 on kitkat running nicely. Can confirm ads are blocked and YouTube works.
Pretty much this:I have latest adaway and I have only problem with one app (Caynax A6W). It'says that I buy PRO version or stop blocking ads.

1. most likely it is checking to see if valid data is coming back from the ad url or checking if the ad url isn't a local ip
2. you can whitelist the app just have to find all the urls to whitelist
Some apps detect an ad blocker. Don't know how.
1. What do you mean with, 'without root'? Adaway needs root and root is not per app based. Your complete phone is rooted or it isn't. Perhaps you mean SU permission?
If it detects your ad blocker I don't know what to do.
There could be a way, but that way isn't to be shared here. Sounds a bit weird I know.

@Croatoan, you don't need SU permission to see/view the file. Only to edit the file.

Thanks for the app..
Could you please tell me why does it require further downloading of host files?
Most probably an android problem. Maybe open an issue report on GitHub.I use Adaway non-rooted via VPN on a xiaomi redmi note 13 pro+. It works fine, except that it does not automatically start after a reboot. Any ideas why not?
I did:
Ever since I set the Always-on VPN, I get a message after reboot (before providing the unlock code for the first time): "Disconnected from always-on VPN — Change network or VPN settings".
- Selected "Background autostart"
- Set Battery saver to "No restrictions"
- Set Always-on VPN in preferences
- Set Block connections without VPN" in preferences
Adaway is supposed to start automatically after a reboot, right?
Thanks for helping!
It's always blatently (NEVER automatically )asks me on a data clear, just tried it and gotI have been using Adaway, both rooted and non root versions, for several years. My phone broke last week, and while I wait for a replacement I am using a borrowed stock Oneplus 9. It is running Android 14, with no other VPN apps. When I install Adaway, it installs the root version, so I get a systemless host error. It used to install the correct version automatically, is there any way to force it to install the non root version?
GitLab, like GitHub do not set LastModified HTTP header so update status is not supported... yet!Is anyone using a hosts list hosted on Gitlab? It keeps showing "Unknown update status".
It works well here. I failed to reproduce as I change the HTTP client library and how I use it.Hmm, not working for me for this URL, v4.1.0 shows something like not updated in -360 days (some large negative value). Can you please see if you can reproduce?

Not really. You could choose a lot of different mode.All the F-Droid apps I know of have manual push updates to the store.
Isn't automatic build basically for nightlies?
Thank you so much! :highfive:I exist still... do you know what i have to do to transfer ownership? if i edit project it doesn't let me change the primary author so i assume i have to PM some higher up to make this happen?
Thank you too!
