[APP][ROOT/NONROOT][OFFICIAL] AdAway v6.0.3

[zgfg]

Thanks for making a detailed reply. I did what you adviced and i found something, i check my sources. They are : Adaway Offical hosts, Pete Lowe blocklists hosts and StevenBlack Unified hosts.

So this last source is the one causing problem. I disabled it and rest are working fine. Also are there other sources which you recommed to add?

Hmm. For me Steve black Unified hosts open (attached a screenshot from browser), the source was updated on the New Year

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/gambling-porn/hosts

Attached is also my json backup, you can copy the URLs or better: open Preferences, Backup/Restore, Restore, navigate to the downloaded JSON and import

It seems my ****ty ISP has blocked the Stephen Black hosts file GitHub link, so adaway is not able to update the file. Is there any adaway compatible mirror link for it? There is one mirror link on the Stephen Black GitHub but adaway says it an invalid url.

Edit: found one https://hosts.celsoazevedo.com/hosts.txt

Hello everyone, I have been using adaway for years. I have recently upgraded my device to Oxygen 13 and it appears the adaway isn't working properly. My Blocklist has around 7 lakh hosts and I have checked in system path and it has the same number too. However the blocked sites still show up in chrome. I have disabled webserver too. Am I missing anything?

Hello everyone, Finally this got solved after using the solution mentioned in this link.

Adaway not working only in chrome · Issue #3407 · AdAway/AdAway

Is there an existing issue for this? I have searched the existing issues Current Behavior Adaway does not block adds on the chrome browser for Android. Expected Behavior Adaway should block adds on...

github.com

Thanks for the support though.

Do you have systemless hosts enabled in magisk? @Me1anh0l1k

 

[m0han]

.. Finally this got solved after using the solution mentioned in this link....

I guess that applies for devices that come with Chrome pre-installed. I remember not having Chrome on my device and installed it from Play Store. I don't face that issue. But, thanks for the info anyway.

p.s.: I have 'Systemless Hosts' enabled in Magisk Delta.

Hi all and happy new year!

It's been few months since the last update. I got a lot on my plate and did not find much time to spend on AdAway. But the good news is I nearly finish the Android 13 migration! The last thing I need is to find a way to ask you (the users) to allow notifications.

For those who does not own an fairly new device , Android 13 introduces a runtime permission developers should ask for to post notifications. AdAway uses notification for multiple purposes like the current VPN status, hosts updates, or app update (you can disable any notification from app settings or its category from system settings).

I am stuck to find the proper way to request the notification permission:

• Where / when should I ask for? Home screen, welcome screen? It must be ask before using it... So before enabling VPN in the welcome screen for example but I dislike adding a fourth step during the setup process. Moreover, I must check it on application launch to if the user disable it later from system settings.
• What tell / explain to the users? Which information will make you allow notifications? It is important for the app to work as VPN requires system notification (I don't really worry about you missing update notifications).

So if you have any idea or advice, feel free to share. Unrelated to permission, the new Google Play policies will block apps that use VPN for adblocking from November. I don't know what will be the impact for the current VPN adblocker will be but I confort me that that AdAway will never be welcome on the Play Store

In the meantine, enjoy 2023!

I've never seen a notification for hosts updates. The only indication I get is a toast stating that Magisk has granted Adaway superuser rights.

I would recommend asking for the permission before initiating VPN connection instead of at the setup process since new users often want to start using the app instead of going through several pages of setup.

In terms of explaining to user, I would say explaining them in more detail as to why it's required as opposed to a blanket "permission is required for app to run" will garner more success in the user granting the permission.

And if user still declines the permission then letting them know the downside of the user not granting the permission.

Hello. I'm using rooted version on evo x a13. Also using adguard private DNS. The adaway protection automatically pauses after a while and have to resume it manually.
Also does adaway block chrome popups? Because I am getting popups on some sites. Thanks

Hi all.

Just a quick note about hosts sources.
Quite a few are more intrusive than they need to be.

This is a quick post to let everyone know that there is a list of host names that need to be allowed for some apps to work properly.

Some applications need to connect to specific hostnames, that normally provide ads. To get these apps working some hostnames need to be allowed.

AdAway Wiki - "ProblematicApps" - [GitHub] - Link

Might not be the most up-to-date.
A big thank you to all who help keep the "ProblematicApps" list updated.

Cheers all.

 

[m0han]

..... there is a list of host names that need to be allowed for some apps to work properly....

To be done one by one? Is there a way to do a 'bulk allow'?

To be done one by one? Is there a way to do a 'bulk allow'?

Create a text file Iike the attached one (my Allow list, put your hosts to allow instead);
in AdAway open Hosts sources and and tick + to add;
tick Allow (instead of default Block);
and File (instead of default URL) and navigate to your local txt allow file;
tick checkmark, Apply and wait to finish

It will become one more hosts source on your Hosts sources list

Instead of locally, you can put your txt allow file eg to your GitHub page, then use Allow but URL and paste the URL to your online Allow file

My bad; I'd done this a while back. But, thanks.
