Brave seems to do a good job browser wise, and I don't really game on my phone (and turn internet off if I do so ad's can't load), so that does me.

Some ROMs allow an option for it during the install process. If not use "device control [root]" and it allows you to disable and uninstall apps that usually aren't allowed to be removed. Just uninstall all google software and install your preferred appstore (APK pure, F-droid, Aptoide)

Adguard is pretty good and doesn't require root. however you have to pay for a license if you want to block in-app ads.

Rooting is basically pointless. Most of the benefits are marginal.

Nah I just use the official Youtube app, I don't get ads so often that I have to block them

Yes, by rooting, retard. It's not useless.

>>58957168
This. My phone is rooted but I still prefer DNS66 since it allows you to whitelist apps.

>>58957984
At all? Yes, by a few microseconds. Battery drain is virtually zero, I've never seen it at even 1% in the battery stats.

>>58958132
You can disable all Google Apps without even needing to use root, unless you're on a Nexus device.

>>58958298
I mean depending on your connection it can be quite a bit. Would it block ads on all applications?

>whitelist apps
That is pretty neat actually.

>>58958325
how so?

>>58957694
What show?

>>58958043
AdAway won't stop video ads in YouTube. I have a rooted tablet with AdAway, but not Xposed, and YouTube always shows it's shitty ads. Because the ads are stored on YouTube's servers, you can't selectively DNS or IP block them without also blocking YouTube itself.

>>58958339
Just go into Settings->Apps->All and start disabling anything that starts with "Google".

Fucking DNS66

1) It keeps blocking attachments in Gmail even though Gmail is whitelisted. Any fix?
2) I still get ads sometimes even though everything is up to date. What gives?

>>58958921
You get ads probably because the adservers aren't on any of the lists.

>>58958921
IP blacklist ad blockers can't catch ads that are stored locally on the app's servers, and they usually can't catch ads sent over an API in text format like you see there.

let it go

>>58958921
You would need root+xposed+minminguard to block that type of ad.

>>58958678
Deleting apps off the system partition doesn't give you any more free space unless you move other apps in their place. And if those apps get updates, the space gain is negated.

>Since rooting is useless now
You cannot simply make claims like this without evidence, OP.

>is there any good way to block ads on phone?
AdAway.

>>58957632

>Most of the benefits are marginal.
For you.

And in any case, the downsides are more or less non-existent. Even if you do use Pokemon Go or Android Pay, the most recent version of Magisk Manager + PHH's Superuser is able to bypass SafetyNet, thus completely removing any compatibility issues.

AdAway with all the ublock origin lists is God tier.
Combine this with newpipe and you never see any ads.

Adaway doesn't seem to block the annoying promoted search results in google/chrome

>>58959428
You need an addon to hide those. Firefox+Ublock works.

>>58959391
Noob question:

How do I add those lists to AdAway?

>>58958616
I like keeping it in there just in case I need a googlecancer youtube version.

>>58959391
A lot of these aren't even hosts sources... A better idea would to just use what's on AdAway's sources list: https://github.com/AdAway/AdAway/wiki/HostsSources

>>58959391
All you did is make your hosts file so large that it will almost certianly impact performance.

Can someone just cut through the snark and explain what he means?

OP bought a shitty locked phone, i.e., sour grapes.

>>58962229
I was like him once.

I have a shitty burner phone with no community support. Only root was Kingo and I hated it.

Except a week ago I got a babby bootloop, factory reset left me with su and no Kingo so I'm done with that nightmare.
Now I'm a little bitch about installing xposed with no community support, and a worthless recovery menu.

Otherwise I'm satisfied with my root, but my phone seems to randomly kick me out of shit and lock. Assuming I'm running out of RAM?

>>58957148
NetGuard from fdroid

>>58959391
>>58960026
Is there a way to insert in AdAway a full list of hosts sources without typing one by one?

Copy-paste them.

>>58964824
Haven't tryed to paste more than one at time
Will try tomorrow morning
Thanks

Xposed on Android 7 when?

>>58959587
You don't because this guy is a fuckhead

Op is kinda right though. It might be more risky to have root to get 1 or 2 small features

Got em, upvoted

>>58971142
It's some forced verified boot crap, it sounds bad but all it really is is a warning when you start the phone up. You can bypass the warning entirely. Some features (Like Android Pay) may not work. Since you rarely if ever have to reboot your phone, it isn't as much of an issue as the tinfoil crowd is making it out to be.

>>58971570
can already do that with YouTube background playback

>tfw switched to iOS after almost 9 years of Android and everything just werks

I use dolphin browser because it blocks ads really well, and most apps don't have ads on iPhone, and the few that exist are very unobtrusive

>>58971556
Integrated vid+music downloader and a lighter app. On the other hand, SkyTube lets you view comments and subscribe, but not download vids or watch age restricted content. So whichever one of those you need. I don't subscribe nor read comments so NewPipe is perfect for me.
Alternatively you can use Firefox as it also has this >>58971570 and a few other YouTube tweaks.

>>58971606
There's talk about integrating playlists. The developer said he will "look into" the current NewPipe fork's code and probably add this function.

>>58957632

>>58957168
It doesn't work if you're on an IPv6 network though, which includes T-mo's network. Development speed is slow as fuck, too. Needs more contributors.

>>58971755
So what happens if you were to disable ipv6 on their crap network? It just stops working?

>>58971799
Can you even disable IPv6 on Android? And IPv4 still works, that's not going anywhere any time soon.

>>58971890
You can disable IPv6 with root, but you need to re-disable it every time it connects. So you'd need to find an app, or write a tasker script.

>>58971901
But if you're rooted, why wouldn't you just use AdAway? This whole discussion is based on not rooting.

>>58957370
What are you talking about? CM/Lineage?
