I use Permissions Denied by Stephen (Stericson), I can't post links here though.
But I think you easily can find it on market.
Search for DroidWall on market.
Every rooted android phone should have this installed...
Thanx aton guys its working

Root explorer or ES file explorer and delete apps you don't want in /system/ app

Mind you, for system apps you will need root access.
Titanium backup and root paid version just freeze them.

What bloatware do you think is in your Nexus 7 anyway? Just disable them using the built-in mechanism, no need to remove anything.
Yea I've compiled aroma installers just for removing bloatware but this is usually carrier related garbage or touchwiz/motoblur/sense stuff. None of that exists here so I wouldn't even spend the time creating that. I don't think there is any bloatware here just maybe "unwanted" apps. which once rooted can be easily removed or just frozen/disabled.
where are bloatwares in a stock jellybean rom?simply deactivate what you don't want\like..no need to cancel..for example a rom like bamf has built-in the tool to deactivate system\apps.very usefull for a person in yours position..
As a matter of interest what apps/files can be frozen via titanium? Anyone got a list of which are safe to remove?

I'm interested in this too. My device isn't yet rooted. You can force stop apps from settings but I believe they start up again at reboot which is annoying. Maybe time to root my device!

NO! There is a Disable button on the same screen with the Force Close that disables apps since ICS.
I was wondering if anyone has used any add blockers that work. I have used 2 and they don't seem to work.
I still see adds in apps and specially when I browse thepiratebay.org those are really annoying.

Ad-Free Android is the most popular, yes it works for a majority of ads. It does require root and requires you to reboot your device after applying.

Well for the apps that I use it doesn't work but didn't really checked into it but i install it if it's offers with the roms i flashed and use adaway for the one's that is not blocked with the add blocker.

ADD the pros and cons of the different AD blocker apps. I use AD-free and it works for most apps i have. You're welcome for the spelling lesson too.

I love this thing!
Some ads are server dependant. Meaning the ads are broadcasted from their server. Only way to block them is by editing the apk and removing the code that calls for the add.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Ad-away is a great one works like a charm on mine.
Thanks for the replies guys. I'm more interested in removing the ads from websites than from APP's. My friend is using a Gingerbread ROM for his Sprint S2 and it has an ads blocker built into it and it works really good. It's the only reason why he's still on GB.
I've tried adfree Android before and it really wasnt working for me at all but i will give Ad Away a try
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Try and find the source of the ads and add that domain to your hosts file.
Go to mvpshosts.org, I think that's the address, and download and use one of their hosts files.
That's basically all the ad blockers do anyway as far as I understand it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Another way I remove ads from apps that don't need internet to function is by using droid wall and blocking them access. You can also use lucky patcher or another app to edit the apps permissions and deny it internet access. I do this for games
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
I use "ad free android" and it works on everything except the programs that have the ads delivered from their own servers as mentioned above. you can also do this to your PC, and i HIGHLY recommend it. No more ads on any website.
edit: also if you're on a not-so-unlimited data plan it will save your high speed date, since you're not downloading ads every 5 seconds.
The simple answer is yes. Most of the time at least, I still get the occasional Ad every now and then, but it's fine with me.
On tmobile sgh-s3 t999 rooted
No.
What ROM are you running? Are you Rooted, if yes then you can use Adaway or Adfree or something like that. All are readily available in the market.
If not Rooted, not sure anything can be done for you. Kind of one of the basic reasons to Root IMO.
Edit: Just saw that your signature says Rooted. Then try Adfree or Adaway. They both work well.
I tried using adaway and adfree but a lot of the apps I have still has ads.
It does work but only for certain apps
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Like which app? Let me see if I have them
If the app in question does not require an active internet connection in order to use the app, then I suggest using Droidwall from the market and black listing said app. It works great for the games I play.

it works just fine just clear the cache and data and update the app
also make sure you do not have any ad-blocking apps running on your phone. This will cause Showbox to not run as well.
+1 on ad blocker, I also experienced an app not connecting because of the ad blocker
Either disable the ad blocker app, if you don't have one....go to system/etc and look for a file called "hosts", delete it and then reboot....should work after that

Do you know if I can edit the host file? If yes, how? Thanks
You need root and a root enabled file manager with editor.
I'm not rooted yet. Not sure if I can. Been looking at the forums but there is conflicting information. I'm on MJE for Verizon. 4.3. Can I still delete hosts and use showbox? It tells me there's a connection error when there's not one. Thanks.

So I've been looking and so far no root available, unless I missed it somehow but does anyone know of a way to install an ad blocker on this?

Get #NoChromo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-nochromo-wild-browser-appears-t3130776
Try nochromo for ad free browsing from this thread while waiting for root

Adguard is another app, though the free version doesn't offer much, no root needed.

I wouldn't use adguard as I'm not a fan of going through someone else's proxy service showing them what I browse/where I go on my phone.
without root, nochromo would be your best bet, as suggest above by @pcoulson. if you're looking to block ads within apps, I would root and use something like adaway.
