My real main reason for root is being able to block apps and this app works extremely well for that. Used to use it on my note 4 too. It blocks all ads in browsers and across all apps. You get a 30 day free trial but I went ahead and paid the 10 bucks he wants for the app. To me it's totally worth it. Oh and you don't need root to use it which is the best part!

I've used this for awhile,its works very well,with or without root. I purchased the lifetime subscription. I'd give it a 10 out of 10. The picture below shows how well its done without root and its been installed 2 days.
My trial just expired and I think that I'll buy the license. Once the trial expired I could not believe all the adds in apps. I hadn't seen many ads in 10 years until yesterday.
I had a HUGE battery drain with this app installed!
I only got 40min screen on time with this and max 5 hours of battery life.. And it was taking 40-50% of battery consumption..
After uninstall nearly 3-4 hours screen on time and over 10 hours on time.

I've never had that problem, my battery life has been doing very good.
If you are rooted i would highly recommend AdAway instead. Editing the host file and blocking incoming traffic is way more efficient than downloading everything (ads included) and then filtering what to show.
Had this app on my phone for sometime and found out it does nothing until I came to this page, and what I found out is I have installed it, but never started it.
Like the app, but the battery hit for me was too much. :/
I haven't seen any noticeable battery hit. I did notice that anything the uses data gets counted against Adguard battery usage.
I agree also, it's a big battery drain

Does this app just set up a VPN tunnel and filters all traffic on the other side?
If so, than it will drain your battery really really fast.
Plus there is NO guarantee that all your traffic (incl. passwords) is not monitored - classic MitM attack
Trial's expired, in 2 minds whether to pay or not. Pretty sure my battery's taking a bit too but that may be in my head.
If you pay in Romanian money, it just cost 1 or 2 dollars .

NUKE THIS THREAD! Thank you mods.
I am creating a thread w/o the version name of the app in it as I plan on future updates and themes. Its become more extensive than just v 1.5.9.
This enables unlimited skipping?

Paying for their service actually does NOT give you unlimited skips. It gives you unlimited hours per month instead of the free 40 hours. Also it removes ads as well. The scumbag record labels probably won't ever allow unlimited skips.

Do these allow for unlimited listening even with a free account?
Pandora is not unlimited even if u pay for it.

I pay for the service so I hate that I can only skip 7 times. This works!
Cant wait to try this out, thanks a lot.
I also seem to have significantly less lag than on the non-themed 1.59 apk. I wonder if it's just placebo effect or do I actually have less lag? Sweet!
Ya I was thinking the same thing. The funny thing I notice is that when it does "lag", if I look at the widget, it will say loading, but if I open up the app it doesn't seem to stop as much.
Seems to lag more when I'm trying to use just the widget.
This is pretty sad....

Why, because you feel you should get content without paying? Ads support the sites you go to. Ads support the apps you use. If you don't like that, don't use up their bandwidth and server resources when you're just leeching content.
I know where you can get a working copy of ad away that's not malware

Use that for your adblocking woes.
Not all apps have a buy option, I would much rather pay a few dollars for an app than have ugly ads taking up real estate on my screen. But since this isn't an option ad blockers it is.

I support developers that have apps that I will use daily. But if there is a game I will probably play once I rather not pay 4 dollars for it.

I couldn't agree more. I for one would much rather pay for an app then have ads. I have no problem compensating a developer for their work if it results in no ads.
Just search... AdFree APK and download it and install. That will take care of your Ads if you are rooted. There are several sites to download the .apk. :good: Works great for me.
Was wondering if someone could tell me why the Google keyboard is using over 10gb of data in less then 30 days on WiFi. I'm using the Purity 4.4.2 ROM if that is not any help.

Are you streaming? Or downloading tons of roms? Can only imagine it's mistakenly ascribing other data use to keyboard. That's crazy.

No not streaming or downloading Roms. Really only use it to check mail,surf the web and some games.

Data
Not sure what you mean by language data. But I haven't loaded anything that has to do with the keyboard. Its the one that came with the rom.
Here is a screen shot of the data usage if it helps any..

I've had the same problem, just started this morning out of the blue. 8.9GB in background data on wifi. Crazy. So I've disabled Google keyboard and gone to Swiftkey. Using OmniROM and have been for the last month.
This is on My Xperia SP not Nexus 7 but I think the issue is the same.
I have exactly the same issue with the same ROM (but on a Nexus 4).
~ 10 GB of background data in the last 30 days over wi-fi, insane.
I have realized it only yesterday, at the moment I have switched the input method from vocal to the classic one, and now it SEEMS ok, but I need more time to confirm it.
You do know to voice typing goes online right?

It can do offline, but I'm not sure if it opts for online vs offline if it has a connection or what.
But seriously, someone would have to be writing a book to use gigs of data like this.
I still think the value is inaccurate somehow. It just seems outrageous that it could possibly use so much data. I suspect this is a case of invalid data from dirty flashes or restoration of data.
I'd say anyone suffering from this do a full factory reset and see if it starts accumulating data usage again. And a sniff of the data would be good, nobody seems to have done that yet either.
There is an AOSP keyboard avaliable on the F-Droid repository. Looks like stock googleinputmethodlatin and does not leak data.... For those who are genuinely concerned about Google's data collection....
Dead Cookies leave no trails...
Well, I've got the exact same problem on my Xperia U with CyanogenMod 11, when I get home I'll try flashing the AOSP keyboard instead and see if it has this problem..
EDIT: on February 4th I flashed the AOSP keyboard instead of the Google one and, as you can see, in the last 3 days it didn't use any data, so it's a Google Keyboard problem ?
Inviato dal mio Xperia U utilizzando Tapatalk
Told ya! I had similar problems on my nexus 7 on the latest KOT49H firmware. Simply uninstalled all the Google keyboards (Japanese/Chinese , latin, hindi &c) after installing aosp keyboard. Much safer.....

Nexus 5 owner here, found this thread through Google.
My keyboard used up 5 gigabytes in the 45 minutes that I had the device flashed. What the heck? Titanium couldn't uninstall it (couldn't locate APK) so I had to manually trash the APK using a root file manager. How is this even possible!? I have unlimited data, but imagine what it would be for people with capped plans?

It's simple; it's NOT using such data. Nobody has proven it is. There is a bug or something here.
Just freeze it and use a different keyboard. Done.
All Google apps are crappy.
In my humble opinion of course.

My provider thinks otherwise. I had no plan but was scrutinously using my 3G for something specific and taking note each time of how much data I used. Then at one point my keyboard kicked in and sent out 15 MB of data at a rate of 30 cents per MB.... Thanks Google Keyboard...
I am interested in sniffing out the data and finding out why it is using so much of it, but I guess that means rooting my phone :') it's still stock android 5.0.2
My phone does not give info on data sent through wifi
OLD POST but my coworker is due $330 USD now because his Google keyboard just ate 30 GB on mobile data..... yes..... 30 GB on mobile data.... he is on a Huawei Mate 8. If u want screenshot I can upload tomorrow
Guys, it's really a dilemma for me to root this phone and get rid of all this annoying ads or stay non rooted and have OTA updates. Please tell me your advice here. Thanks!
What ads? In the browser? You can use lightning browser or Firefox or nochromo for ad blocking browsers, or adguard - you can block ads everywhere, including all apps if you get premium subscription, you just have to deal with an annoying persistent icon in status bar.

I didn't root the phone for about 3 weeks and honestly didn't feel a strong need to. I just get the urge to tweak after a while and got bored after I optimized the phone as much as I could on stock. That was the longest I have ever gone before I rooted a phone. Performance and battery life have been exceptional from day one for me. The only thing rooting did for me personally was get a custom kernel to smooth out the occasional choppy scrolling, get nandroid backups and use titanium backup to uninstall some system apps. There are still a lot of benefits to rooting your phone and loosing Samsung pay wasn't a big deal for me since mobile payments are a bit gimmicky to me.

I take no claims in this, it's not mine. I just wanted to share my findings. I am leaving my Moto X Locked and Unrooted during my trial period and just couldn't handle all the ads that plague the android user experience. So far I'm impressed. I haven't been without a root ad blocker since I got my OG Droid in 2009 with Eclair so I had no idea how many ads there were showing up freaking everywhere. This app does as well as minminguard and adblock. Enjoy!
