Root [Boost Mobile] adfree on custom rom

[cornelljdavis]

how come ads are not being blocked when i use this app? it says device should be ad free when i download and install the new host but still shows ads. im running liquid smooth rom but just was curious because it will not block the ads no matter how mant times i redo it.

Have you rebooted?

You have to run the app and have it download the latest host file at least once

Try that... flashable zip, no downloading hosts files or updating needed

 

[cornelljdavis]

Yes i have.

 

[cornelljdavis]

I know that. I done both but it won't work.

Thank you Madara Uchiha. Good luck in your fight against the two little punks. I tried not to spoil it too much, hope you know what I'm talking about.

 

[cornelljdavis]

That didn't work.

Are you on a custom rom that already has ad blocking built in? The two different ad blocking programs could be conflicting.

 

[cornelljdavis]

No. I'm m l liquid smooth and it doesnt have ad blocking

The only two other suggestions I can come up with is putting the host file in your system yourself or re flashing the ROM

I *think* it was /system/etc/host
You replace that and it will bock ads without the app (that's actually all the app is trying to do anyways)

Another thing that would be stopping you app from working is if you've denied the app superuser or you have not granted it superuser permissions
