^ Sorry for the OCD unfriendly logo- will fix ^​
WILL NOT WORK CURRENTLY- I CANNOT FIX UNTIL O2 SEND ME A NEW DEVICE.
/* Reasons */
I got fed up of loosing my Barclays and Halifax banking apps when I root (mainly just for Adblock).
I decided to make this for my one plus 3T, Unlocked bootloader and twrp recovery required but no root needed.
/* Info */
Overwrites current hosts file, doesn't merge.
If running OOS 4+ please ensure you are running latest twrp with system decryption enabled.
May work on other devices please report findings.
Version with hosts only replaces your hosts file with latest adblock sites pulled with my script.
Version with YouTube Includes nodpi by arter97. (Deletes old YouTubes and replaces with ad-free version).
Not tested on all banking apps.
Known to work:
Barclays
Halifax
Metro
Natwest
Not needed on:
Santander
Nationwide
/* WARNINGS */
Requires unlocked bootloader and latest twrp recovery.
WARNING UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER AND FLASHING RECOVERY WILL TRIGGER SafetyNeT
Please flash at own risk.
Please only use if your bootloader is already unlocked and your recovery already flashed.
Please verify you can already access the required apps without error before flashing this zip.
Aroma-BETA is a testing version. Please inform me of bugs.
/* Log */
Hosts files updated regularly.
Hosts obtained from:
Code:
[url]http://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt[/url]
[url]http://www.malwaredomainlist.com/hostslist/hosts.txt[/url]
[url]http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt[/url]
[url]https://adaway.org/hosts.txt[/url]
[url]http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/hosts[/url]
[url]http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php[/url]
My Own local blocklist
Parsed and merged using my own script.
MOAAB was excluded due to browsing issues when merged. Think its linked to host files size.
***A experimental whitelist/blacklist feature added.***
MAY CONTAIN GORNS.
I have attached a copy of host files for anyone who wants to ensure no naughtiness
/* Install instructions */
Download version required and copy to root of sdcard/internal storage.
Boot into twrp and install zip
wipe dalvik/cache.
Reboot and enjoy.
Aroma-BETA:
Download and copy to root of sdcard/internal storage.
Boot into twrp and install zip
Await instructions.
Reboot and enjoy.
---------
can sideload if preferred.
To use Whitelist/Blacklist please note:
Run blacklist/whitelist option
The installer will create 2 files on the root of your sd card "blacklist.txt and whitelist.txt"
You will then have to edit these by adding the domains of the sites you want to block or whitelist.
e.g
Code:
google.com
linda.com
startrek.com
stargate.com
Note you don't enter return ip or HTTP/HTTPS/WWW....
Once complete reboot into twrp and run the AngelsAbyss Aroma installer again
re-run the whitelist and blacklist option
The script will take care of the rest.
This will have to be done each time the whitelist and blacklist is updated (for now)
/* Downloads */
DONT DOWNLOAD UPDATE BROKEN
Aroma BETA
Nightly hosts Aroma BETA
/* Advisory */
Please inform me if format of this thread needs editing.

Correct, but Knox doesn't affect the mentioned banking apps, android pay is a different matter ofc. But my wife's end no issues. Stock with unlocked and twrp. No root. Halifax opens and initiates fine.
Saying this I can't speak for all users. I'll update thread to reflect this.

Ahh, this was the case for me until barclays discovered how to detect. It just closed itself instead. Snapchat was always easy with root, xposed was what it didn't like. Unless they've changed there too.
Thank you for input

Santander works fine with root, afaik. I logged in before rooting just to be safe, but the app still runs fine with root.

Good to know, I believe Santander and Nationwide. Both allow root.

Interesting, In works my end, can you please inform me of what part isn't working?
Also did you pick hosts and youtube or whitelist+blacklist and youtube?
Please ensure auto updates are off in play store incase its replacing ad-free version?
Update, I may have noticed a permission error on the latest update. I have applied a fix, please check again? Not the nightly version.

I flashed the latest beta (non nightly) and my YouTube works (with no ads).
Thanks!

What happens if i flash it and must phone isn't decrypted?

Untested, I believe it wont work.
Full decrypt isn't needed, just in twrp (type password) when prompted when entering recovery. But if twrp decryption fails it wont flash.
Feel free to try, nandroid backup first.
As far as I know though system wont mount without decryption.

Ive just tested this on freedom os v 1.0 - , its working my end. When installing freedom make sure adaway isn't installed from their installer as it clashes with my hosts files.
This wont put an icon on your app draw or allow the adaway app. This is a replacement for adaway.
I used these settings on test...

what is the difference from adaway?
