Neither. Like I said, it was a ROM issue from upstream CAF that the ROM developers had to hack around. Once that was fixed everything worked fine. I only ever used AdAway default lists but I don't think AdAway had anything to do with it in my case.So you determined that it was an app issue or a block list problem?
I had been just using my own custom block list until now,
AdblockHosts/AdAway default blocklist.txt at main · jeffreyabr/AdblockHosts
Hosts file to block ads. Contribute to jeffreyabr/AdblockHosts development by creating an account on GitHub.github.com
but even that is resulting in the issue.
I've been across several phones and updated with all of the security patches for the last three years, but this is the first time I've encountered the problem.
I had to uninstall for now, but man do I hate how intrusive mobile ads are. This is the first time I've been without AdAway in a long time. I didn't realize how bad the mobile experience is without it.
Yeah, it says RCS is connected in Google Messages. Never changed my phone number or SIM card. I can fall back to SMS/MMS, but then I have to turn off/on RCS and disable AdAway to try to get RCS to reengage again.Ok (sorry p6p hasn't gotten march yet so i might be less helpful til rumored march 20)
In chat setting does it say connected. I assume you've not changed phone numbers or sims. Do you have fall back to sms mms turned on (it was default off when i momentarily switched to messages).
I assume you've turned chat off and on. And i assume when you rolled magisk back you also turned back thekernalboot. Running out of troubleshooting tbh.
Interestingly, I went through all of these steps with 6.0.3 installed, and after I wiped storage on the AdAway app (even before I uninstalled the app), it disappeared from the Superuser section of Magisk, so there was nothing to toggle off. I uninstalled again, reinstalled, and it still doesn't prompt for root or non-root. Just skips into the root app upon open and prompts for root permissions.I think that AdAway v6.0.3 maybe checks if it was granted root - if yes, then it does not prompt to choose root or non-root
When you uninstall AdAway, it also wipes its Data but the root grant nevertheless remains in Magisk db
Hence wipe AdAway Data or uninstall AdAway, but then additionaly open Superuser list in Magisk and remove AdAway
Then (install and) configure AdAway again, it should prompt then for root or non-root mode
Have not. I'm on the beta of Google Messages, so my app gets updates like every other day.I note that messages was recently updated
Google Messages tweaked to provide more clarity through minimalism
Sent? Received? Read? Things of the past. With Google Messages Now, we’ve got icons for that!www.phonearena.com
have you tried adaway enabled older version of messages?
Does it do this on stable? I had no idea you were on beta. I'd look at the change log since you upgraded to android's march 2023 to see if the problem reveals itself.I'm on the beta of Google Messages, so my app gets updates like every other day.
I'm pretty technical, but even looking at the March 2023 Security Bulletin, I don't really know what I'd be looking for to determine if there's anything in there that might have caused a conflict with Messages/RCS and AdAway.Does it do this on stable?

If there's a changelog for Messages Beta releases, I'm not aware of it.
Strangely, when I woke up today and several times throughout the day, AdAway 6.0.1 running VPN mode with the latest Messages Beta installed started having the same issue. I couldn't send or receive RCS messages. Had to disable the AdAway app to get anything through.
I unenrolled from Beta for the stable version. Currently have messages.android_20230220_00_RC03.phone_dynamic installed. With the same 6.0.1 VPN version, I'm have the same issue. This version was released on March 7, so that predates the release of the March 2023 Pixel update.
Any other ideas?
Good thought, but no similarity here. I rarely turn on WiFi. Left VPN on longer today and experienced the issue again on stable Messages.Using VPN mode, every now and then, I will notice something is not running correctly.
Mostly when switching between WiFi and Mobile Data.
For the lack of a better description, it is like AdAway VPN stalls.
What mods do you have, or better yet (since it sounds like something root is at fault) start a thread in thr magisk or p7p board and link me and I'll try to continue helping as i can.Alright, now I'm back to absolve AdAway. I have no idea what's going on here...
I uninstalled AdAway last night and reflashed the March 2023 Pixel update. Left my phone unrooted overnight, and it was still able to send RCS messages in the morning.
Rooted before breakfast with Magisk 25206 which is the version I installed when I first got this Pixel 7 Pro at the end of February. Still haven't reinstalled AdAway, but I am experiencing the same RCS message issue again. Using stable Google Messages too, not even Beta.
Everything had worked fine on it for the two weeks or so before the March update, AdAway v6.0.3 included. I had the same difficulty with modules not working on Magisk 25210 that everyone else did, so I uninstalled Magisk and rolled back to 25206. In that process of not knowing why my modules weren't working, I had Magisk 25210 patch and flashed the boot.img which I now know is unnecessary, but I also reflashed the stock boot.img after the fact.
So now I'm back to square one without a culprit. Despite being on what I thought was good footing, I started experiencing that "Not sent. Tap for options" issue with RCS in Google Messages. I suppose I can try to wipe my phone and reflash the March 2023 update, but that's going to take all damn day to backup and restore my SMS messages. Hate having to do that and reserve full wipes for major issues.
I know it's now unrelated from the thread topic, but if anyone has any additional ideas or thoughts, I would appreciate the help. I'm stumped.
You're probably right that it's something related to root. I'm headed on the road for a week, and I'll be without a PC. I don't want to struggle with this and not be able to do anything about it, so I'm just going to bite the bullet and factory reset tonight. If I don't succeed, I'll make a post. Very much appreciate the offer of assistance. Googling around, I realized how few resources there are these days compared to when rooting, ROMing, and modding used to be more commonplace.What mods do you have, or better yet (since it sounds like something root is at fault) start a thread in thr magisk or p7 board and link me and I'll try to continue helping as i can.

First I thought that I got crazy but I've retested back and forth several times, on WLAN and Mobile Network:Btw, is your Private DNS set to Off (not sure would it help but nevertheless)
Feedback:
Sorry, I had a busy few days.Sorry, I cannot help you with RCS messages (not using) but I'm curious about your saga
Could you please clarify:
1) Are you using AdAway in the root mode?
If you go with a root file explorer like MiXPlorer and open /system/etc/hosts and /etc/hosts files, are them large ones with thousands of lines and do you read on top that they are patched by AdAway?
2) Blocking ads does work or not for you?
3) If you pause AdAway (main screen, button on the bottom in the middle) - AdAway screen will change the colour - and upon you reboot, do you still have problems with RCS
This last one is not related to RCS but if blocking ads generally don't work for you:
4) Do you maybe have a (textual) file like /etc/nsswitch.conf on your phone?
Or you could find a similar config file (in that folder?!) - file that defines the order of precedence in resolving hostnames, like:
hosts: files DNS
or
hosts: DNS files
What is the /etc/nsswitch.conf file in Linux – TecAdmin
What is /etc/nsswitch.conf? /etc/nsswitch.conf is a Linux configuration file that specifies how the system should switch between different name service providers. The file can be used to configure which services should be used for hostname lookup, password lookups, and so on. Advertisement...tecadmin.net
PS, Test by putting native Private DNS to both, Auto or Off
You could try the more up to date displax mod of usnf (2.4.0 mod 1.2) and make sure you've denylisted messages
I can do without Universal SafetyNet Fix realistically. It's just for Google Pay which I hardly ever use because I don't like having any PIN/Pattern lock on my screen. I'm too trusting and prefer just being able to swipe up without even looking to unlock my phone. It's currently uninstalled and I've been fine. Now that I think about it, I guess I haven't tried that combo, so maybe I will try to run AdAway again and see if it is okay as long as Universal SafetyNet Fix is gone.You could try the more up to date displax mod of usnf (2.4.0 mod 1.2) and make sure you've denylisted messages
Is it possible that an app that's needed got debloated (spitballing again sorry, i do have the update now but dont know anyone i could rcs with. I guess you could pm me your number but that's probably a no no on xda (and kinda a no no personally).
If it helps, an example of that mistake of trying to run (non-rootable) two VPNs at a time would be to try to use both of these at the same time.Non root uses VPN, hence make sure you don't run another VPN in parallel
Followed the guide. It's simple enough until I try to find the hostname I am supposed to white list - there are probably 50 entries just clicking on one article. Plus the names don't give any clue what they are related to. I tried white-listing about a dozen different entries but none allowed the comments to be read. At this point it's still easier to turn off Adaway and scroll the articles then turn it back on when I'm done.Do it by logDNS. Check the Wiki:
Start the log and open your preferred site.
Whitelist what has to be whitelisted.
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!
