So I have AdAway and love it. But I frequently find myself disabling it because certain apps have an ad blocking detector. How do you white list apps properly on AdAway?

Go into the app hit the menu and go to YOUR LIST and it should take you there
I know that much. But what does it mean by host names

Hello,
I just wanted to know if there was any way to block non-android apps? I know you can do it from settings, then applications, but you can enable installation of apps by just checking that option. Is there any way I can block them? Thanks, and I want to do this because my brother keeps installing useless games and apps again and again.
I don't think you can any other way.. but one thing you can do is install a app that can hide your android market app or any other app you choose so he cant access the market... I can't quite remember the name of it but its a pretty cool app.. you can also hide pics, movies, and other media on your phone.. wish I could help a little more

Is there a way to remove ads that pop up on notification bar?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
all i know of is ad-remover in the market, but i believe that is just for apps. Try root ad-blocker if your rooted
Ad free works well also

Does it remove the ads that pop up on notification bar

You can use ad-free by bigtincan from the Play Store or you can deny it permissions through your favorite GUI. Other than that, un-install the last app that you downloaded and see if that fixes it.

Use air blocker from the market it removes push ads in the notification bar or you can use add-ons detector to find the app doing it and remove the app entirely

I installed adfree. To my phone ...
Then hours later 4 new apps showed up.
There not in play store so I can uninstall them... there not in settings app to uninstall
And I even went as far as to look in root explorer... nothing there either. On the net it says there real apps but I DID NOT PUT THEM THERE! I don't know if adblock is the root cause or what to do I really don't want to do a fresh install.. but it looks like I may have to.... here a pic the apps at the top just appeared ... lookout detected nothing....
Edit: its hard to see but there all like catch a chearter... GPS a cheater... extra.

Adfree altered my host file.... I could try titanium but would that pull out the root changes and unhost the changes in the file?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Wipe Data, Format SD Card, Reflash Rom, do not reinstall apps from Titanium Bakcup, do fresh installs.
The only way to be sure that the malware/spyware is gone.
I have been running adfree for months now and this has not happened to me. There is no way you got this from adfree. You either got it from web browsing on your phone or there is another application you installed that put them there.

That is caused by a already installed app. Uninstall the app before you started to get these ads and they will not show again

I too have ad free. It's not that app bro.

Def not adfree.. Search for addons detector in market and that will give you an idea of what app did that

For a solid YouTube downloader, try Tubemate. You can't get it from the Play Store but you can get it in the Amazon Market or the app's website I believe. No adds or spam, the only problem is it can only download videos for which there are mobile versions. About one in 10 videos doesn't have a mobile version, in my experience.
Does anyone have a link to the adaway apk. I down loaded a free app from play store that puts ads on your phone. I like the app and don't want to get rid of it.

Just an FYI, the newest version of ROM Toobox Pro doesn't have the ad blocking feature specifically built in anymore. Just a manual host file editor. In some update notes I think I read that it had to be removed via a request from the Play Store overseers.
I downloaded the apk adaway to my 4shared account. I will post the link. In joy ! http://www.4shared.com/android/4U7oOpqc/AdAwayv23.html
