Ad Blocker - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Which ad blocker are you guys running on your Nexus 7? I'm running Adaway and it's not really working for my Nexus.
A lot of ads that I normally don't see on my phone, I always see on the Nexus.
Any advice?
I use Chrome browser if that matters.

I haven't rooted yet, so I'm running Adblock Plus via proxy. Seems to work pretty well. AdAway is working fine on my phone.

Which version are you guys using? Maybe I'm running an older version? Surely not working for my Nexus.

AMAZING! works great as an adblock, plus it has so many other root features. It's full featured root app.

There is Night Mode Widget Beta app in google play. It works with franco kernel. Probably works with every custom kernel.

Stable flash browser anywhere? , grrrr

I am using the older version or dolphin browser and boat but they crash way to much, also didn't like Firefox although that's what I use on PC. Is there a browser that is stable with flash? Froyo on my phone plays flash better than this, it sucks!

Install the app called 'Boat Browser'
I'm using xscope browser. It's not perfect but works quite well so far. Maybe give it a try.

As much as I think flash is dead and websites should update to HTML 5, that's just not going to happen. I would suggest side-loading flash player and using Firefox Beta, that worked well last time I tried, needed to watch Eastenders on BBC iPlayer.

Chrome doesn't support plugins such as flash, remember stock browser on Nexus 7 Jelly Bean is Google Chrome.
Stock AOSP browser with side loaded flash.apk works perfectly.

Have you tried reading the thread at all? It installs different stuff on your N7 that you select, flash and browser been 2 of them. Flash it in recovery. If your stuck ask in that thread and I'm sure someone will be happy to show you how.

I would like to bump this. There for what ever reason no version for the Nexus7.
I thought it comes out early next year for Android/IOS?
It's already out. It says you need an ICS device. Maybe it's not compatible with jellybean? Want the apk myself tbh

Use google and stop being lazy.
To add, this works great on my N7. You can even control some in game menus with it. Pretty good so far.
The titanium backup from my gnex works well. I was going to seriously be ticked off if it was the same case from the previous Xbox Live app!

Strange, because it works flawlessly on my TF300. Side-loaded it, installed it, launched it and it controlled my xbox 360 like a charm.

I've been complaining about not having it for too long to not at least give it a chance. I've still got my Nexus 4 for the rooted stuff.
Used up my device limit so it doesn't work anyway. Have emailed Sky to complain and reset my limit for this month..... Lol
