AdAway is an open source ad blocker for Android using the hosts file.
For more information visit https://adaway.org
There are two kinds of release:
- The preview builds: on the bleeding edge of development - for testers or adventurous
- The stable builds: ready for every day usage - for end users
Installing the application requires:
- Android 4.1 Jelly Bean or above
- A rooted device
For users with bugs, there may be preview builds available from the XDA development thread or the related Android File Host folder. It is recommended to try those builds to see if your issue is resolved before creating an issue. The preview builds may contain bug fixes or new features for new android versions.
After preview builds have been tested by the more technical or responsive community within the forums, we will then post the stable build to F-Droid.
See the Wiki, in particular the page HostsSources for an assorted list of sources you can use in AdAway. Add the ones you like to the AdAway "Hosts sources" section.
You can post Issues here or obtain more detailed community support via the XDA developer thread.
