The ads, always the ads, our applications always more and more disgusting and if the average user that I am supports those that can be closed immediately, there is one which particularly insults me a lot, it is those of 20 seconds not zappable. I recently had the painful experience with the game Dancing Line that requires 20 to 30 seconds of advertising in order to continue to play ... or to let go 5 €. Just that !
Suddenly, tired, I went in search of a way to clear all this and I remembered that in my time Apple already had applications to use on his iPhone Jailbreak and that there was necessarily the same side Android . Well, yes, it exists!
Our savior is aptly named, Freedom , and will deliver us from evil! So of course, all apps are not vulnerable to its power because some publishers launch a check on their own servers after the free in-app purchase android apps, most of the time, the transaction will not be validated ...
Let's take the example of Flow Free , a nice game that does not abuse pubs but too bad for him, it will serve as a guinea pig.
I open it from the Freedom application , wait a few loading screens (no more than 30 seconds) and automatically open the application after applying its magic formula.
Here is Flow Free , as the user has it.We note the presence of a shop, let's go for a ride and offer us the reprint of ads and level packs (note the payment method of course on the second image, it is the means rigged by the Freedom application )
I insist once again on the particularly dubious morality of this type of application. Many applications are the result of independent developers who certainly need the advertising money to live and continue to update the fruit of their hard work. And above all, advertising allows the free application! It may be more rule for them to accept ads that are not embarrassing (like pops-up closable immediately) However, do not hesitate for those who abuse outrageously!
Of course, in addition to the questionable moral aspect (you may be depriving a developer who has spent a lot of time in his application) all this can be done from a rooted Android , Freedom asking naturally Root access to its launch so if it is not done yet, root me your smartphone and come back to resume the rest of the article.
To install all this, you will need to (download everything before starting anything):
Android smartphone from Lollipop (5+) rooted
The Freedom app in its latest version
The Hosts Editor app( apk) to save your Play Store if needed
Install these apps just like any other, and start using Freedom whenever you want. Just by launching the application, granting root access if requested and then launching the application you want to "disinfect" from Freedom .
You may be confronted with an inaccessible Play Store asking for an internet connection. It's the fault of Freedom that blocks the Google server to apply its magic but no panic, uncle Foxprime think of everything!
Open the Hosts Editor app and locate a line xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx android.clients.google.com and check it
A basket appears at the top right, click on it and validate with Delete
Restart your phone and you will find access to the Play Store
Another problem that I was confronted with, The Play Store who asks me each time the app opens a popup. Fortunately there is also a simple way to delete and add your Google Account again . Of course, as before each operation, we take care to make backups.
To adjust it:
Go to Settings
Open Accounts
Open Google
Delete the account (you will not lose any data stored on the phone)
