Wich adblock solution do you use in KK? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, what adblock solution do you use? Since Google banned adblockers from the play store I have been using AdFree, but after I upgraded to KitKat it's no longer working.
Are there any other apps worth using or a hosts file provider you know of?
Thanks!

If you're rooted XAD works well

Adblock Plus does the work just fine for me.

The idea is nice enough, but I really like the hosts file solution as it blocks all ads system-wide regardsless of app.
Might return to it if I can't find an alternative, thanks.

I have read about it, and are usign it for my browsers on the PC, but can it block ads even in apps and videos?

CrashROM has a host enabled adblock app, can't remember off the top of my head which it is, but it works well also.

Yes. And yes. It's a complete ad block as complete as it gets. It's got a perk in that it doesn't even need root! (Although it DOES work better with root)
It has options to allow non - intrusive ads too. Which is actually helpful that it blocks all ads that are annoying and let's correctly used ads stay so that good developers get their money too

Why not just use a file explorer with root rights to uninstall system apps by going to
/system/app and deleting it?
Odds are you'll have a file explorer already.. don't see the point in an entire separate app just for that purpose.
You can't do that when it is preinstalled into the framework of the settings of a rom

Thanks for this but I was unable to get it to show up in the app drawer. I pushed it to the System/App and set the permissions correctly and rebooted but no go.
If anybody gets this to work let me know how
You cant move an odex file from one device to another device that is a different build. Someone needs to de-odex for you.
You could root and use the apps browser from the play store. Can side load flash and use it, too.

If the AOSP Browser is force closing on you, you can also try Android Browser on the PlayStore.

I have also rooted. I installed adaway.
But I have to run it every time I reboot " Download Files and apply ad blocking" or else it wont work. After every reboot when I go into the app its disabled.
Is it supposed to be like this.?

It probably doesnt support Note3 yet. But just use Adaway. Its just as good.
I think its a 4.3 thing. Couldnt get it to work right on most 4.3 roms.

If you have the YouTube AdAway enabled in Xposed Framework, try disabling it.
If you don't know what Xposed it, you probably don't have it.
Then it will be just you.

KNOX on the Galaxy Tab SMT230NU

Using V-Root seemed to trip KNOX. I've read that reseting KNOX is highly unlikely. Is there a chance to revert it?

That has nothing to do with knox. Has to do with your system status not being official. Root = no ota's

There is ways to fake it. But its strictly for "cosmetic" value. Doesnt actually reset the flash counter in the bootloader that controls that
