If ad is shown when how is this adblocker can be called 'working'?
the default 'ad' is included in the BMW app itself. it can't be blocked from loading as it doesn't have to be loaded. If you're that annoyed by it just buy the app.

Hi folks,
I have released my own hosts-based ad blocker named AdAway, it can be found on the market with the following features:

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/list

looks nice. output is pretty much identical to my script.
doesn't seem to support https:// though, didn't test ftp.
suggestion: add update-check that sends a head-request and shows the Last-Modified-header in the UI. that way you don't have to update all the time but can check whether the lists were updated and only then do a full update.
Thanks for the suggestions, i added them to my issue tracker.
They will be implemented in future versions

Can this be run in parallel with AdFree? Or, is it one or the other?
Also, what is the difference between the two?
Thanks!
Trying to use the QR code tool to add hosts to the blocklist, I keep getting malformed host error.
I realized I was trying to add a list of hosts, and you only accept one at a time.
Would be nice to be able to add a list.
[Edit: Realized I can add a list by creating my own list, hosting it on Dropbox, then adding the public URL to the list of sources.]

When you would run them both, everytime you apply AdAway the whole hosts-file got overwritten by it so all hosts added by AdFree are gone.
The differences are the feature sets.
The main difference in my opinion (I am the dev of AdAway
) is that you can choose your own sources of blocklists (hosts sources) in AdAway. AdFree uses only one source but has the advantage that it only adds new hosts, meaning it is faster because it only updates.
As the Dev you are planning to implement the feature of adding new hosts, correct?When you would run them both, everytime you apply AdAway the whole hosts-file got overwritten by it so all hosts added by AdFree are gone.

I am currently using your app and I very much appreciate it and like it. I haven't had a problem with AdFree missing any ads, and AdAway has yet to miss any as well!
Also you should start your own thread over here to offer a place for support, suggestions, and praise.

It's already there.
Feature-request for AdAway: Put the file in /data/data/ and hardlink it instead of writing directly to /system/etc/
I meant that while updating the App only downloads new hosts and not the entire hosts file.
that'd require some server that compares the files and sends diffs. the amount of such files would grow huge after a few days, it could only be supported for some servers (as you can add custom urls) and considering how small those hosts files are it's just not worth it.
At the moment I am not allowed to post there because my post count is below 10
As already said, implementing an update function like in AdFree requires to make diffs on server side. My idea was to rely totally on exisiting infrastructure, meaning I don't want to host hosts-files and diffs by myself. Because of that the whole files are downloaded everytime you update.
But there will be a new feature to show how old your current hosts-file is against the ones from the sources. This will be added in the future.
Thanks for that suggestion. It will come in a future release!
If one download fails (server not available or stuff) you get a dialog informing you about the failed download. But when orientation changes that dialog disappears and there's no way to make it appear again and the app doesn't continue downloading, it's simply stuck. Had to kill it with a task killer to make it work again.
Great job dominiksch. Thanks.
It would be useful if that was possible to add custom hosts from file. Adding every single one manually in pop up window on mobile is bit frustrating. I still get adds in angry birds and some apps with Addaway that I managed to get rid with manually created hosts file.
