Download Ad-Free Android here: http://ge.tt/8vSwPBb/v/0?c
1) Move the APK to the android phone
2) on a file explorer go to where you stored the APK and install it
3) Run it, and give it superuser permissions.

Does adfree even work as of now? I heard they just stopped developing the app and is no longer maintained. Adaway and minminguard are better "up-to-date" alternatives.
Adfree works great. They just have their own website, now: http://adfree.bigtincan.com/

Interesting, I may give it a try and see. Last time I ran it, like a year ago, it was not even connecting to the server to get the list and one of the threads here had a bunch of people with the same problem. Does it allow you to specific custom hosts list sources?
AdAway is *much* better than AdFree in every aspect. It is open source, one can get it from FDroid.
And, for severely annoying cases of ad overkill, this is pretty much the best method on a per-app basis: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50576062&postcount=26

I've found that Adaway is a waste of time and doesn't block all in app ads. I only use adfree and it works perfectly

There is no difference in how they block, only in the sources, they both add entries to the hosts file. The only advantage adaway has is that you can set your own host sources, thus in theory, you can block many more ads than adfree can. But by default, adfree's host source indeed does block more than adaway's. Or at least it did 8 months ago when I used adfree. If you can find the host source url of adfree, you could even use it in adaway as a source.
Thank You!
I used Google Drive to download and do the install.
FYI...There were a few more steps about adding host files and registering AdFree at BigTinCan.com
Then I needed to reboot and Ads were all gone from the apps.
Thanks again!

My opinion is that adfree doesnt work well because the hosfile it uses is originally created for windows, not for android so many ads still appear like admob etc. Im using this one, works flawlessly on my device

I think u should check your title before posting, root explorer is an app which is required for it and which is also not free in market, and adfree is a better choice as it is available for free.

Theres plenty of other filemanager with root capability and free in market. He just suggesting using root explorer, but not stated anywhere thats its nesessary to use it. Just use other instead.
btw his hostfile is also free, compared to adfree which in my opinion is pretty useless in android because it uses hostfile originally created for windows. Bunch of ads still appear if using adfree.

well then, we can just use adb to push that hostfile to our device. then again, adb is an app too. maybe we can just shove that file to our device using just our plain hands.

Which version do you suggest? please keep in mind it must be run on the stock roms on nexus 4/7/10
There's a thread in this forum with different versions. It seems that there's no one suitable for all, that's why I suggested you different versions to choose
The app uses one apk on all devices .. Some user reports that it is working on s4.
Look at the comments and ratings on play store.
I read the information a few times but now I still not understand what exactly this app is used for? Just install/uninstall AOSP browser?
Sent from my Nexus⁴
I'm a little confused, too. Why does it require root to install an app? Does it install it as a system app or something? Maybe something is lost in translation? Your English is very good, but a few things were a little confusing.
By the way, very thoughtful to make an ad version and a non ad version! I think that's a great idea. If people like your work, they can choose to support it.

Root is required because some system apps in nexus devices blocks the installation.
And yes the aosp browser will be installed as system app.

Hi,
Been looking up different XDA forums and Googling this but can't seem to find a solution and would like some help.
My device is currently non-rooted. I would like to root (because really, who wouldn't), but I'm running Mobile Iron for my Corporate e-mail and there is a root-checker in this app that doesn't allow email to be set-up if root is detected.
I've read that the xposed module RootCloaker is incompatible with the latest version of Mobile Iron.
I'd primarily like to install root to install AdAway (yes - Ads are my Kryptonite).
Is there anyway to install and setup MobileIron (latest version) with a rooted device?
Is there anyway to install and run Adaway without Root? (If yes, can the hosts file be regularly updated?)
Is there any other known method to block in-browser and in-app ads altogether?
Thanks in advance.

Makes sense that all apps wouldn't be visible on Android 11 for this particular phone.
Something slightly separate, but I had an Android 11 Pixel 3XL over a year ago, and the file managers still worked normally. On this phone, however, since upgrading to the Android 11 Beta, the file managers (I've already tried three different ones) don't work at all when you go to the non-root required drive section that stores your non-system applications (stuff you got from the Play Store). It just shows that every single folder aside from the download folder is empty now on every file manager... So something is most definitely wrong with their current hard drive storage/access on Android 11 - and that could also possibly be why certain apps aren't showing up in the package disabler.
By the way, we have Android 11 Beta4 dropping on this Tuesday (12AM EST), so the official release will probably be around Christmas time (exactly four weeks after beta 4 releases). So we'll see if either of these updates fix this goofy issue.

Tried installing it on my 10+ running on Pie.
Install ok but it wanted a login created to do -anything-
So I did but it was glitchy. Even after I created an account it didn't want to login.
Grrrrr...
I have a working PD so for now I don't need to muck with this...
Got tired of saying kind, nurturing things to it, and kicked it out:laugh:
On Beta, it works amazingly. But it is missing a few system apps like calculator and such but im guessing thats because of beta. Otherwise amazing.
This app is amazing
Just disabled over 50 useless system apps
