adaway

https://adaway.org/

can be used in non-root, vpn mode

[dapper dust]

is there a tut on how to install this I'm kinda stupid

do I just install AdAway in f droid and that's it?

uhh how do I root it

my phone

[green tinsel]

you dont have to

[green tinsel]

if you dont have f droid installed just get an apk from releases https://github.com/AdAway/AdAway/releases

[dapper dust]

well they say rooted is better overall

are there any cons to rooting?

[green tinsel]

it is

but it is complex to do and the process varies depending on your phone model

[dapper dust]

well I might aswell do it then

ah

[green tinsel]

yeh

just dont bother

[dapper dust]

well I might aswell try

I have a Redmi note 11

[abstract glade]

dont, a lot of bank apps wont work with root

play integrity wont work with root

[dapper dust]

oh ok

[wise coyote]

dont root with an xiaomi

its a fucking mission

worst experince on any android to root (imo)

[wise coyote]

is this like ublock but for android/

or like adguard

[green tinsel]

nuh uh

playintegrityfix module

mod

[green tinsel]

ong

the reset and then 2 weeks waiting period are diabolical

[wise coyote]

fr

its so stupid smh

just for that im not buying a xiaomi

[abstract glade]

then when the legacy certs get killed by google, re apply

it really isnt seamless

what i did was, i just selfhosted headscale and use it with a server running pihole to block ads
