[XAP] AdBlocker For Windows Phone 8.x+

[augustinionut]

First thing: do you have interop+cap unlock?
Second: do you know that you can only use WPPT to deploy xap files on W10M?
.

I use WPV XAP Deployer

Wow, I sold my Lumia a month ago, glad to see this project going strong!!! I will dig up the source code and release it on GitHub.

Hi
Is there a way to set a Whitelist for this?
The blacklist is working great but breaks some web page graphics until I add some URLs to whitelist.

No whitelist, just remove the needed URI from the hosts file using the AdBlock built in editor (Buggy) or the Windows Phone MTP interface.

Ah I see.
I would love to see a whitelist feature in the future since I don`t want to manually remove it everytime I update the hosts.txt source.

Great tool anyways!

@sandix, "whitelist" it's a really cool idea, and very easy to implement. It's a "must have" feature for any advanced ad blocker.

Third: do you know how to connect your phone to WPPT to be able to deploy apps with advanced capabilities? (connect in sideload mode and after switch to developer mode)
You should really always try to give as much information as possible if you want someone to help you (or at least try to), an error code, OS version and model is not enough.

1. dont have interop unlock... just enabled developer unlock in phone settings

2. used "Windows Phone Application Deployment 8.1" tool from WP SDK tools (i installed full SDK with visual studio)...

2. and 3. forget WPPT with W10M... wont work...

I agree, it would be nice to have a whitelist feature, but I am no longer maintaining this project, like I said I will be releasing the source code on GitHub so someone else can take over, or maybe someone just wants to learn from.

Just the OP for a link to the Source Code for anyone looking for it.

great job, now my windows phone is more usable than ever

I found a bug.. On my lumia 630 with GDR2, when Adblock is enabled wifi connecting time is doubled! Instead of 5 seconds i wait 10, sometimes 20 seconds to connect. And then, when I disable it, it becomes normal. Why?

As blocker is probably blocking some Microsoft IP address

I'm getting the same error code as him and I'm using the Windows Phone Application Deployment 8.1.

Lumia 930 OS build: 10.0.10586.36

Any other ideas?

I have that. At least as far as I know. I'm getting a pop-up saying "success".
Anyway to test it?

If the app is telling you that is successfully applied, then it did, but to test: visit ******* or find an ad on a site and try to click it.

Sorry, it was the unlocking that gave me the "success" pop-up.
This ad-blocker install gave me the error code.

Install using Windows Phone Power Tools.

Install using Windows Phone Power Tools.

Downloaded that. Then it said I need Microsoft,VisualStudiLE.Interop Version 7.1
Downloaded Microsoft,VisualStudiLE.Interop Version 7.1 Then it said I needed Microsoft NET Framework 4
Downloaded Microsoft NET Framework 4. Then it said I already had it on my computer.

Download .NET 4.5.1

You might need Visual Studio for Windows Phone to do the install so download the WP 8.1 SDK. Full version might be needed.
