[HOW-TO] How to get rid of Lockscreen Ads without Root

[waingro808]

I discovered this by accident. I've rebooted many times and haven't had any ads for the past 5 days.

HOW TO:

1. Use XDA Debloater Tool to block all Amazon packages EXCEPT com.amazon.phoenix

2. Reboot

Amazon Offers app will continue to run, but you will have no ads.

UPDATE: It can take 24 hours to take effect.

I tried this and got rid of all the Amazon apps but not the lock screen ad

This is cool, but I have concerns about how it actually works, and I don't care enough to research it. Cool discovery either way.

same here...i still have ads

It can take 24 hours for the ads to disappear. I just factory reset, took OTA update, and followed same steps. Ads were still there, but now 24 hours later, the ads are gone again!

It worked for me. One thing I cant find is the Amazon Video - I actually want to enable this. LOL.

I think com.amazon.avod is the Amazon Video app. Uncheck that box and see what happens. I doubt the ads will come back.
