If anyone has AdAway on their rooted KFHD, does it work without any further modifications?

AdAway is working on mine fine. Now, it doesn't remove the lock screen ads, just in-app ads.

You can just destroy the apk for lock screen ads (in ES file explorer its in /system/app and it has a AMAZON OFFERS icon)

Yes you do.
On Firefox you can install Adblock Plus plugin. It works pretty well.
Better install adfree app which is free on market and if you root your phone (very easy with one click root and unroot option) and it will disable all the ads on your phone even ads in games..!

Theres an app on the Play Store called No Lock that I believe worked on the original Kindles. I don't know if there are any apks for it that you can side load from. Best shot may be to root and install the Google Play store. Do so at your own risk, I have not tried that app on a Kindle (or the Play store yet).

That is a great idea! Will try that tomorrow!
Thanks for the idea. I tried it with 2 no lock apps and it is a no go. Thanks so much again though. Anyone else have an idea

Hi Stu5797! Glad you worked it out. As an alternative, if you don't mind the screen lock but would rather not see ads (provided you're rooted of course), you can go to /system/app and rename the file dtcp_apk.apk to dtcp_apk.apk.orig. You'll never be greeted by another Special Offer Screenlock Ad again!
Greetz all!
Work like a charmer!

I was confused about this as well. Here is a step by step guide. The thing I was missing was the reboot after moving the apk to system/app.

That's what I use. Works for me.
After installing adfree make sure you download and install the hosts then reboot your phone.
I am pretty sure that adfree doesn't work for youtube ads. I don't think there's anything you can do about the ads since they come from youtube directly as opposed to an advertisement service server (which is how it works on most websites and apps).
I'm using AdAway, much better than AdFree : (sorry, can't post links now, just search in Google Play "AdAway")
I use adfree never seen ads on youtube
do you use youtube's app or by just entering m.youtube.com?
I'm using AdAway and I haven't seen a YouTube ad.

AdAway does the trick
I installed AdAway a couple days ago and i haven't seen a single ad on my tablet since. It appears to be working a lot better than Adblock Plus for Android.
The youtube apk has no ads if im not mistaken. Only www.youtube.com has them.
By installing any adblocker and useing either FireFox or Google Chrome you can block these ads

Without an ad blocker, the YouTube app will often play video ads before videos.

Adblock is crap...
If you must use it because you don't have root OK but it's not good...
It'll block only one small part of ads...

If there is an app that you use mostly offline and it shows ads, using No root firewall will stop it from showing ads. If the app needs internet to function (example a browser or something that needs synching) this will not stop ads in that as it simply turns off ads on a per app basis. It is all or nothing for a app. Good for most of the apps.
I have become accustomed to not seeing ads through out the user experience. I was using a flashable ad blocker from the N5 thread but I guess its not 5.0 compatible.. You guys have any suggestions.

Adaway apk has worked on lollipop with my n5 (n6 is being delivered soon). I just wish I could find something for you tube now.
Where is adaway available for download? Yeah I agree I watch a lot of YouTube and I used to have an Xposed module that blocked all add in the app, it was sweet.

Huh? AdAway is working for me. I downloaded it from f-droid. I just ran an Ookla Speedtest and no ads came up
I prefer using https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway ... AdFree is nice but blocks a lot of the Slickdeals links for me, yeah theres whitelisting but Slickdeals has a lot of redirecting links whereas AdAway is less aggressive on that part and gets most of the ads.
I see @simms22 finally got his N6
I use adaway on my N6 and it works great.
Anyway to block youtube app ads? I used to use xposed module for this, but...
Anybody else having problems with the whitelist? Viglink redirects always fail when adaway is active

Works fine here.
Whitelist *.viglink.com
There used to be this great xposed module that removed the ad spaces in apps. I really hope that comes to L somehow.

Whitelist redirect.viglink.com on AdAway then reapply the list.
Out of curiosity, can you run an adblocker (like adaway), have it modify the hostfile, then unroot and still have ads blocked? Or do you need to keep root for the changes to remain in effect?

You can unroot after making the change. You would have to re-root to update or modify the hosts file again.
