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 I heard they just stopped developing the app and is no longer maintained.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!

[Q] I'm rooted, now what?

So I just rooted my Nexus 7. I am not interested in changing the ROM, unless I really should, since I really like the Stock ROM. What are some good things to do while rooted?
A side note: I called Google before I did the procedure and they said unlocking the bootloader would not void the warranty. So, that is interesting.

... now you search and find cool things to do with your rooted tablet.
I'll toss you a breadcrumb though- Xposed. The rest is up to you.

Second that - once you've fiddled with a decent number of Xposed mods, there is no turning back :laugh: :good:
I'll toss you three other subjects related to Xposed - MoDaCo, GravityBox and App Settings You'll come a long way with those!
Also, the first things I install after updating firmware are ROM Toolbox, Root Explorer and Xposed. Then you can do anything!

Run Linux on it in a chroot ?
Do some hacking to see how the device works
Install busybox once you rooted, if the root process did not install it.
I have a version of busybox (1.21.1) compiled using the android-ndk
As some of the google search pages do not tell you, that if you don't use the ndk it breaks busybox's wget, traceroute, ping etc.
I know their are apps to install busybox, but they want a "donation" which usually I don't mind doing, but not for something I can compile on my own.

Samsung Tab S 10.5 Multi Window - Adding Apps?

I've done a lot of searching but haven't been able to come up with much, so was hoping someone would have an idea.
So first of all, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 wifi version running lollipop and the fantastic Iron Rom.
I have wanam and xposed running okay. And I have tried adding apps using the multi window option in wanam but after rebooting they don't get added.
http://ak.5v.pl/strony.html
I've tried an app called mw commander but that just closes while attempting to load. I've tried a number of other apps but nothing has worked so far.
Hoping someone can help me out.
Thanks all.

Anyone have any ideas?

Oh that's interesting. I may do but I'm really happy with iron rom at the moment. Was just wondering if there was a solution.

Hi, I have tried several apps from Google Play store and I was succesful with MultiWindow Commander [ROOT] from XperiacleApps. It is a paid app, though. Anyway, it worked with IronROM. In description, it says that it is compatible with Lollipop and it really is. Please note that there is also similar unpaid app from the same developer but it is for pre-Lollipop ROMs.
I was not able to find any free solution, and I have tried several of them.

Thanks for the help, as I mentioned in my original post I've tried that one and it just closes right after opening. So I'm at a bit of a loss at the moment.

german Commerzbank Apps and Xposed

after a new update, Commerzbank App and Commerzbank PhotoTAN App for Onlinebanking will force close while detecting Xposed installed. Current i must use a older Verion of both app. Have tested rootcloak, but will not help
Question is it a way to hide xposed from both App so the new Version works again?

With Advanced Logging I found out that an exception is thrown.
Code:
com.arxan.guardit4j.rootdetection.RootDetectionException
Hope that somebody can help with this
-----------------------
EDIT: Wrote a working xposed module, I'm testing it a bit for now
Edit2: Only Commerzbank Banking app is working for me, can't figure it out what I need to do to get photoTan to work

Is there a chance to use the photoTAN App too?

Any news of Xposed for nougat??
I am currently using beanstalk. Found no xposed for nougat. Anyone any news?

Why german based banks do so? Same with the Sparkasse-app update from late November 16. A hint with a warning that xposed is installed would be enough.

Same problem for me with the Sparkasse-App. First had to switch to Sms-Tan because of xposed and now not even the App in general is working..

migrate to nougat (there isn't yet xposed) ... I already complained about this in playstore..

German Sparkasse told me: It is due to the new instant payment functionality of the app that the app aborts if xposed is installed.
Now I use the app "finanzblick online banking" to have a look on my account balance.

Both norisbank and Deutsche Bank apps don't have this yet, I'm lucky. I guess both use the same Phototan app by the same developer.

I believe I had it working before reinstalling my phone.
I was on nougat, using magisk and xposed.
I hid root with magisk-hide.
For Xposed I had two modules running:
No Device Check - (for getting ctsProfile true on SatftyNet)
Sudohide - (for hiding the manager-apps from "Banking")
I can't say for sure, since it is not working anymore after I reinstalled my phone.
But since there is magisk module that is not working (Terminal Debloat), maybe it is my phone. You could try this for yourself.
Another possibility I won't hide ...
I installed xposed a whole time after I used magisk ...
Maybe I still remember using the banking app on a rooted, but not xposed, phone ... :/

Thanks, works again, now I can use my Banking Apps again, like I should.
Magisk-root worked great on Lineage OS after uninstalling SuperSU and XPosed
and hiding Magisk from both Commerzbank Apps via Magisk-hide.

I am using Numbrs now, seems a great app. But Commerzbank is not fully supported, but more than checking balance I don't need and that works great.

Maybe Magisk Hide work for you

Commerzbank Kontostand app works with xposes and root
the Banking app not.
i use browser and sms tan for transactions on commerzbank

FYI Starting with May 2018, Commerzbank will charge a fee for each SMS Tan... So the PhotoTan app unfortunately will be the only way to get free Tans.

On-screen Allow/grand/install buttons not working

First of all i would like to wish everyone here on XDA merry Christmas and happy holidays and a huuuge thank for your help.
So recently i decided i wanter all my notifications to be displayed in Paranoid Androids Halo mode i achieve that by installing the following 2 apps
Unique Controls
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.halo
XHFW3 - floating windows - ver. 3.19 beta
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xhfw3-floating-windows-t3371074
everything works fine, however i noticed that the (allow, install or grand on-screen buttons) dont work, whilst the cancel button works fine... e.g when installing an app i cant touch install but i can touch cancel or grans SuperSU access
i am currently running the stock OxygenOS 3.2.8
rooter with xposed installed.
p.s if i kill the Unique Controls (halo) app everything works as supposed to.
does anyone know any workaround this or a fix, i have uninstalled this 2 apps for the time beeing but i would really love to make this happen.

If you're on MM and have xposed, there is a module called NoScreenOverlay. This is exactly what you need. Check it out. Cheers.
