QUOTE(antt00 @ Apr 19 2016, 12:35 PM) There are adblockers that don't need root. If you are using stock browser you can use Crystal and activate ad blocking within the browser settings. Thanks for the suggestion, i normally using adaway.  Can recommend which ad blocker that i can use? I love to download wallpaper from Zedge and watch movie from movie box, the ads is insanely keep poping up. |

QUOTE(antt00 @ Apr 19 2016, 01:21 PM) I am using Block This. Most ads are blocked. You can test it. Google for it since as u know all ad blockers are banned in play store. Done with the installation, indeed it does block all the ads. Great!!! but i do have a bit of concern as this creating a VPN to monitor the network.  This may open a bridge for the phone to be hack. I am not saying adaway is safe neither but this VPN does worries me a bit. Anyway thanks for the info mate This post has been edited by shchiam1978: Apr 19 2016, 01:39 PM |

QUOTE(RedDevils88 @ Apr 19 2016, 01:47 PM) does this block ads from games too? also is there an option of removing the little key sign off the taskbar? Not sure on the games as i don't play games in my s7E.But for movies and Zedge, it completely blocked it. The key icon, i don't see any option to remove it. |

QUOTE(antt00 @ Apr 19 2016, 01:49 PM) Yeah there was a concern on this but without root there isn't much choice. Plus it is a local VPN. Not sure how secure it is cos not an expert in this field. I guess at the end i might root my phone. Aside from the ads, i can use TB to freeze those bloats as well.By the way, do you use screen off app? after the new update, whenever i lock the phone by using the app, it will redirect me to the pin or pattern unless if i lock the phone using power button then i can use fingerprint. |

QUOTE(antt00 @ Apr 19 2016, 02:25 PM) Yup after update if you lock using any 3rd party app to lock the phone, cannot use fingerprint to unlock. Stupid MM security issue. You are amazing man, I am a flash maniac on all my Samsung phones so i only know those rooted mod. If you just wanna freeze bloat can use Package Disabler Pro. No need root. Becos all these non root app my phone still unrooted.  Will try this out. |

QUOTE(wilsonyong8850 @ Apr 19 2016, 02:42 PM) I'm using adblocker for Samsung which can be found in playstore. After install, go to your stock browser and activate it. The adblocker are more for blocking the ads from browser and this doesn't apply to other apps such as Zedge, wallpaper downloader and etc. |

QUOTE(lvoonjian8888 @ Apr 19 2016, 10:49 PM) Flashed Custom Recovery and Rooted the phone yesterday. De-bloated the phone by deleted those useless apps thru Root Explorer. Flashed dual speaker mod. Which custom recovery that you are using now? TWRP? The phone is snappier and faster compare with last time.  |
