Its an app that alters your host files to block adds in other apps and in the browser. Requires root. Have been using for years.

Not much difference, but for me Adfree keeps the host files better on reboots.

By using this, does it makes the ads completely gone or leaves a blank page where the ads were? I've never tried any

Give me a link and I'll take a screen. I don't know which pages have prominent ads as I've been blocking them for years.
On a side note I do have to edit the hosts file occasionally to allow certain sites, as taptu and feedly won't redirect correctly for some of my feeds if they are blocked.
Edit I'll add a few sites. Obviously the ads are blocked in apps too which is the main benefit I find.
Thanks so much for this app !
Thank you. After flash new ROM, I tried to restore my backup from adfree and after install it says that my version is too old. Then I found this thread. Thanks.

+1 - I restored a backup (from my S3) of BBC Iplayer and BBC Media Player and they work fine on my Nexus 4. Only issue is video is not 100% full screen as the soft keys do not go away when playing video. I expect this will be fixed when the app actually supports the Nexus 4. It also seemed to have issues resizing properly when I turned phone from portrait to landscape, so I had to go back to iplayer start, put phone in landscape and then start video.
What is everyone's favorite ad block app? I've been using Adaway, but have run into problems as of late on PA. Just lookin for a replacement.

AdAway, very light and many updates!
ROM toolbox pro, but not just for the ad blocking. Get everything in one so it is nice to have for file browser, ROM editor, terminal, etc. Blocks more than just adds too, and I think the free version does it.

it applies with no errors, but fails to block ads. I've already gone to code.Google and starred the issue. I only queried what the preference of xda in general was.

Are you referring to ads in Chrome Beta? I think ads get through if you are using the Spdy feature. Adaway is blocking ads in apps but not in Chrome Beta while using the proxy.
any way to block ads in xda app?

Buy the app to get rid of ads, otherwise you're screwing the developer.

A friend of mine showed me Ad-Bomb. I think it's fairly new but does a good job of blocking browser ads as well as mobile game apps. Also found that it blocks all of the Hulu Plus ads when I'm watching from my iPad or console. There is a small fee though.

Aye, and all the 'stock' apps can be uninstalled the ol' fashioned way.
I found out that you can disable an app by going into Settings, Apps, select the app, and then press Disable. I don't use GMail and got tired of seeing the icon. Seems to work the same as freezing an app.
Oh yeah I guess y'all are right. Sorry, just got back into android with the new nexus 7. Honestly I just don't like having anything on my devices I don't use.

If its a system app that can't be removed by just uninstalling it. Than they other option is to root and just delete it using a file manager like root explorer.
Pretty sure gmail and currents are play store apps so they should just be able to be uninstalled.

Turn off any ad blockers you have. I had to disable Adfree then it would let me log in and do everything. I even re-enabled Adfree and it still works perfectly fine. It's just the initial log in screen was blocked for me.

please extract the apk and share it on here.
I have managed to sideload it and it works on 4.4 but I can only seem to get hold of phone version online which is stuck in portrait mode. The page says the version varies with device so there must be a tablet version which should install on a compatible device.
Thanks in advance.

IT WORKS on KIT KAT, thanks for the attachment and hard work. You've done a superb job.
On my HTC one, as I've installed a custom Rom I had to edit the build prop to make it the correct htc Europe model etc...
I built it with lucky patcher.
I used lucky patcher to install as well as it helped to remove the old version firstly and start a fresh.
I had to block root access as the app requested permission too.

I'm just looking for some feedback on what the Virgin TV Anywhere app is like on an OUYA. It is easy to navigate using the OUYA controller? Are the programmes all displayed fullscreen? Are On Demand and Netflix and Youtube channels also available?
I ask because at the mo I only have the HD+ Virgin box. To use this app on an Android device you need a Tivo. This means having to pay an extra £5 a month, but more significantly, take out a new contract to get a Virgin Tivo box. So I want to be sure the app is any good before I splash the cash and signup.
Cheers
The app allows u to stream a select few channels live... You can't watch on demand or content in my shows. But you can remotely manage your recordings... IMHO... Not worth upgrading as you can use rcx for remote and other free TV streaming apps... I'll make a list of channels Virgin streams...
