Hello
Many of you might notice that after you install an app certain adds are installed to your device such as notifications. I would like to know if there is any way to remove those notifications manually. The problem is that i dont know which app installed those adds... usually the icon image is a star. If you can help me post any solution. Thanks in advance

Search at google for an app "Lucky patcher".
This app removes the ads from almost all the apps.
Not sure if it is legal though...
A second-more difficult way is to decompile the apk and clear all the ad-calls, but I don't recommend it.
Cheers
The problem is that ive already tried that but i dont know which app to disable the adds and some apps when i try to disable the adds some patch are success full and others arent. :S

I see... If you don't know what app is causing the notification ads, an easy way to find out is to read the reports at Google Play for each of your apps. Somebody must have complained about it... I can't think of any other way right now...
Afterwards, you can try removing them with Lucky Patcher but it doesn't guarantee that it will succeed... As always...
If you're using a rooted ROM, just use adaway or an hosts file to block ads.

Does it block notifications aswell(add notifications)?

That g don't know, I use a hosts file and have no ads anywhere in the system. But then, I don't know if any of the apps I use throw ads in the notification area were I not using the said hosts file.
Anyway, there are apps that can tell you which app is the generator of the ads in the notification area. I don't know the name of it, but I've read about it. Then, when you find out which horrible app does that, just uninstall it and find an alternative...

There's that lookout ad security app in the market. Use that to see which ads are coming fro.where.

Had anyone noticed this on their SGN? It pops up about twice an hour on mine. I had the Google data collection disabled when I set my phone up so I am not sure what's causing this. I never notice this on my previous android phones. I just hope it's not some rogue app trying to sneak out my infos....

Hi,
The only input I can give on this is that I too have noticed this only however upon a fresh install and don't seem to see if afterwards. I do disable certain system apps and so maybe the reason I don't see if is because I have disabled whatever is responsible for it or just coincidence.
I'm just about to flash a new rom, Rocket V17 to Cassies ExtraLite V6 and so I'll post if I see the same.
I noticed this with stock KKA, KL7, KL8 and now on LA1 as well....
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I flashed Cassie's XtraLiteRom LA3 rom and haven't seen it yet, usually I have by now. All my apps have been restored too, so perhaps it was being shown by a system app that's been cleaned out from this rom. Not sure which one though if this is the case
Thats great, I think it's a system app. I hope somebody can help pin-point the culprit.

One way to find out the culprit would perhaps be by using LBE Privacy Guard, free on the market:
LBE Privacy Guard
Once installed on a rooted system, anything that wants to connect to the internet must seeks its permission first. Anything that seems suspect, deny access. Obviously be careful with what you are restricting though, but this should help...
I'd use this method myself but after flashing Cassie's I no longer have the "sending" popup.
Hope this helps!
Thanks mate, I'll give it a go.

Another option is to install DROIDwall and check the log file to see what app is blocked.
+1 on LBE!
First app that gets installed on my device when I wipe, install a new rom, or start up a brand new phone. Also has a side benefit, if the app doesn't need data access, to help block in app ads
Most apps have no business accessing my location, my sms app, contacts etc.

No! click that option and it never shows up in your Play Store history again, unless you install it again.
Each time you install an app or install a custom ROM with the ROM creators apps of choice it adds those apps to your play store list of app's! and they don't go away, and if you change ROMs and or try an app your list grows and grows whether you use the app or not it was always there in your list now you can clean those unused apps or unwanted apps out of your list so if you try a lot of ROMs you don't have to weed through all those app's!
I have 12 App's that I install and use, but 50 that I've tried and came on ROMs that I've tried now I have only 12 app's in my Play Store app history instead of 62 apps!
It is a list of apps that you have or had installed, so when you start from a new rom or a full wipe you can go to play store and look at the list to see which app you had installed earlier

I think adaway or some other ad blocker worked without root for ads over WiFi. For some reason though none of the adblockers I've tried work over mobile data for me which is incredibly annoying since I haven't had an ad (on my phone or PC) in years pretty much.

i don't think you are familiar with installing apk's to your phone. I just want to mention that google would have solved your problem much faster . And there would be less haters around
I will explain it to you, as simple as possible.
1. Go to google and search for ad away . apk file. For example i found this link for german users: http://www.chip.de/downloads/AdAway-Android-App_56011287.html
2. Connect your Phone to your PC and move the .apk file to your phone(sdcard). Other options are using a Cloud like Dropbox etc.
3. Go to your settings -> security -> and select the option unknown source or whatever it is called in english. ( Installing from unknown source or something)
4. Go into PlayStore and load a file manager like Astro-Filemanager
5. after installing a filemanager, open it and go to the path you have moved your .apk file to... and select it
6. Press install and have fun with it
Hope i could help.

You misunderstood, Adaway was free anyway but was removed from the Play Store for some reason. It's not piracy at all.

Sorry, YOU misunderstood. Ads equals revenue for the developer, it's the tradeoff you get for free apps.

That's bs. It's our free choice, if we want to look at ads or not. Maybe we should also remove the "channel change" button from our TV remotes, so we cann not switch the channel during ads?!

The choice is watch ads on a free app, and or buy the paid version of it. Blocking ads means eventually there won't be any free apps, since the devs will be forced to charge for them all.

Untrue. Some Devs make only one app with ads. And I'd gladly purchase a full version but there isn't one. So I have the choice of looking at stupid annoying ads or blocking them... If a Dev wants payment, offer ad free version. Which most devs do...with additional features. This is the way to do it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
What is with the sudden hate towards ad blockers now that Google has said something about them? There is a way to block people using ad blockers from launching an app and I've only seen one Dev do it, so obviously they don't care enough about that precious 0.02 a user to take actions to stop ad blockers
