NOT WORKING SCAM HAVE ROOT AND DONT WORK WHEN I MAKE ADBLOCK IS NOT BLOCKING ADS

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.

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).

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/...."

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!

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.

About this app

****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.
