About Ad Block REMOVER - NEED ROOT

****READ THIS DESCRIPTION****
ROOTED PHONES ONLY
I cannot stress enough this is for ROOTED DEVICES!!! I'm getting emails and bad reviews from people saying their phones are not rooted or asking what rooted means... Please stop right now and DO NOT DOWNLOAD... You will just be wasting your time and negatively affecting the development community.

I am not responsible for damage you do to your phone. Everything should work perfectly but please make backups before running.
_________________________________________________________________________

This app will either temporarily or permanently DISABLE ad blocking. A lot of apps block functionality if you are running an adblocker... With this application you can backup your host's file, and run the ad block remover allowing you to use the application... Afterwards, if you choose to, you can restore and resume blocking ads.

This app allows you to backup / restore / clear all ad blockers. This WILL NOT add any ad blocking functionality.

Therefore, using this app you will be able to either permanently or temporarily allow ad's onto your phone.

_____________________________________________________________

Feel free to use this app in any way you like. Let me know if you have any recommendations.

HOW IT WORKS:
The file on your device located at /etc/hosts is used to reroute internet protocols to a given location. If you direct them to the localhost then the IP will be blocked... This is how ad blockers usually work... All this app does is skim the file for specific keywords OR clear the entire file.

WHY I WROTE THIS APP:
I installed a custom ROM on my phone which by default came with an ad blocker. I was not aware of this until months later when I tried using a certain app which disabled functionality if you are running an Ad Blocker. This upset me because I was not aware that I was even blocking advertisements. This should have been an option on the ROM instead of configured by default. So now with this application we have the option.

I am not against blocking advertisements but it should be an option or at least advertised that the ROM has a pre-installed ad blocker.

If you have any questions about this application send me an email at aV1rusApps@gmail.com.

Using this on a rooted Samsung Galaxy S7. Just installed this app today so I haven’t had a chance to thoroughly test this app but it works great so far. I wasn’t very optimistic that this would work with my flashed Ad Blocker (MoaAB) since I normally needed to flash the MoaAB uninstaller to remove the ad blocking. This can save my phone from a lot of reboots. Yay! I also don't write many reviews but I wrote this one with the time I'll save with this app. Excellent so far!! :) Hint: You might need to clear cache from apps that had ads activated during use when you restore your ad blocker (in order to remove them again).

Thanks! This app really saved me! I got one annoying app deliberately nagged me saying that i have an adblocker installed which i do not. So, this app really helps me to clear the host file with a touch of a button! Simple app but worked flawlessly! To the idiots out there, go root or gtfo!

So far so good. Works on Asus ZenPad 8, rooted. Got an app i need, which i couldn't even pass the first setup page due to ads per second. This app just did it for me... sometimes, maybe once every 5 to 10 minutes i still get a banner ad on that stupid app, but gets easily fixed by going back button and reload, and also keep cleaning your app's cache. Anyhow, i highly recommend this adblocker. Thank you kindly dear devs.

It worked for lg g4. I had problems shopping using Chrome. At the top of the search result is a section to scroll left or right. When I would click on one, some of them would be rejected and not open the desired web page. Target was one of the stores I had the most problems with. I found one of those poblem links, tried to open it with failure. Then used this app and my problem is solved. I can use those links now.

The application doesn't work on a Samsung device (Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo, rooted using ODIN and SU binary). I've got a lot of apps that use ads way too much, thought this could get rid of them, but that was a mistake...

W70%
by W####:

Did exactly as advertised. Used Unified systemless host through Magisk, and by that blocked too much. This reverted everything with no issues.

M70%
by M####:

Works great and not cumbersome like the other one. Sometimes ads show up, but I guess that's just how it is.

by R####:

I havent a rooted phone, and I don't know how to rout it, neither going to pay someone to root my phone. So if you change and do this app to no routed phones, then I change to more stars.

Never thought I'd be glad to get ads back but an app I use won't work right with them off. Thanks so much.

I installed an ad free version of the stock international rom on my sgh-i317m months ago, thinking it was the best choice. I soon realized it limited my browsing ability, since some links route through ad services first. My most recent dilema was downloading packages for Babbel. After using your tool everything downloaded perfectly.

by U####:

So so so so much. I emailed you before doing this but I did it anyways. Thank you so much, it works now! P.s. Some people don't know how to read. This app is obviously for rooted phones. Thank youuu so so much

I made a back up of host and run the ad block after that nothing happened app crashed and when I try restoring backup app doesn't respond I looked at internal storage and it's empty I losses all photos bad app don't get it, developers need to fix this issue

F70%
by F####:

To the idiot users giving one star rating; please don't reproduce! The app clearly states NEEDS ROOT but some of you are to dumb to read that. You give one star reviews because you couldn't follow basic instructions? I saw this app, I look at ratings and I almost didn't download, until something told me to look at reviews. Like dam! Soo many idiots in this planet!!!

by N####:

Cleans out the host file so I can browse the Web and use referral links. Roms should have ad blocking as an add on, not default.

X70%
by X####:

I uninstalled AdBlock without reverting to backup hosts, fortunately this app fixed everything for me in moments. Thank you.

I couldn't watch Hulu after installing the Hyperdrive rom on my Note 10.1, but thanks to this app I can now get back to watching my shows. Thank you!!!!

As I say, this is the only thing that's fixed it! I tried for ages and wasted so many hours, thank you so much for making the app!!! FYI, I never write reviews, but for this I had too!! :-)

I am running cyanogenmod 11 on a galaxy s3 with root access. I gave the app root permission and backed up successfully. I try to remove ads but I keep getting a message saying "problem copying file/...."
