Hello. As we all know Google removed ad block software from the play store. Just to get a general consensus on this, what are people using or doing as an alternative? I am using Adblock plus. It does not seem to be doing the trick as well as it has in the past.

For those of you familiar with the application called ROM Toolbox PRO or ROM Toolbox Lite, the above is the Ad Blocker application that was used in the app, prior to Google's Playstore making some rule changes, which caused the Dev JRummy to remove it from the app. It happens to be my favorite, and doesn't compare to Ad Away.

I also use ROM Toolbox Pro.  I can't open that link at work for some reason, but I assume it gives directions on how to start AdBlocker?

I did purchase ROM Toolbox pro. If adaway does not do the trick well enough I'll try that link. Good to see we can still get that section of the application still

If you did purchase ROM Toolbox Pro all you need to do is> open the application> slide the screen to the left> find the "DNS Changer" and long press on it> that will open the Ad Blocker, go ahead and adjust the settings, save it and reboot. ;)

It's like the hackers version of the Play Store. Just search adaway, DL and install and no more ads!

I thought I would add one more just in case it got lost somewhere and somehow.... Anyways it is Ad Free, for those of you that remember using the old SuperUser and getting the mention to try the Ad Free app, well the logo has slightly changed but still has the same setup, also it plays nicely with other Ad Blockers, which 2 is better than 1 right?
