Adaway

Download: https://f-droid.org/app/org.adaway

An ad blocker that uses the hosts file. The hosts file contains a list of mappings between hostnames and IP addresses. When an app requests an ad, that request is directed to 127.0.0.1 which does nothing. There are options to run a web server to respond to blocked hostnames and to direct requests to the IP address of your choosing. You can download hosts files from the app but it is possible to use your own and to add certain sites to the white- and black-lists.

Requires root: Yes. The hosts files is located in /system which is normally read-only.

--Flash either this or the MicroG zip.

♦️NanoDroid-microG-*.zip
--The real package. Contains MicroG stuff and patched Play Store.

🏗 Steps to Install NanoDroid are:

NOTE: Do this on a clean flash of the ROM. That is, wipe Data, Cache and System, and flash your ROM again. (Otherwise you may have permission problems and battery drain.) Optionally, flash Magisk.
Make sure your ROM supports Signature Spoofing. Check #sigspoof

1. Flash NanoDroid-setupwizard-*.zip and configure your install.
2. Flash the NanoDroid-microG-*.zip (or NanoDroid-*.zip) and optionally NanoDroid-fdroid-*.zip. Note: If you have Magisk, no need to flash this again after future dirty flashes.
3. Setup MicroG using the microg #guide.
