Most powerful adblock app with manual filter list insertions - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have grown used to adding manual filters to kill all the pesky ads on Desktop via AdBlock. However, on Android, AdAway is not as powerful in the sense that I cannot select elements to block immediately when browsing, and the manual filter list is not as sophisticated (only plain URLs and not down to the JS or other elements).
Would like a recommendation as to which will be the closest thing to what we can enjoy on the desktop when it comes to ad-blocking.
Sample of screenshot below that shows Adaway enabled but still with tons of ads blocking my browsing of the article:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

anybody please?

Use a basic adblocking hosts file, then add things with this https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...script-aditor-easily-edit-hosts-file-t3514421

is it compatible with the filters I add on AdBlockPlus? doesn't look like the case...

[APP] Overlays - Hovering widgets (No Root)

While the Note 2 has great multitasking, and with root (or without) you can have multi windows for a range of applications (not just the stock ones).
But, as far as I am aware, this doesn't include widgets.
This app allows you to having floating widgets, which is brilliant, for a range of reasons. I am sure people will come up with many creative ways to use this app (setting profiles, even has a Tasker plug-in).
Great for running Google Maps with a Google Play Music widget or example

Ever wonder how developers get those amazing screenshots to show off their app? It adds quite a bit of value to a screenshot when you see it in the frame of an Android device. It gives it a more realistic look and displays your app in the way that the user will see it.
You could work in Photoshop to put something like this together but one of the best ways to do this is to use an app caller Screener.
With Screener, you can import your screenshots and create a frame using mockups of the latest Android devices. You can choose between 3D, flat or minimalist designs. Then you can go through and choose a custom background as well.
The library of frames is regularly updated with new phone mockups. The app is very easy to use and you'll have better looking screenshots within a minute of using the app.

[Debloat] Disable any apps and bloatware using ADB AppControl

Hi friends!
I built a list of applications, that can be safely disabled, for Huawei P40.
Especially for my new program - ADB AppControl.
This is very usefull program for managing applications on andoid devices. With it you will forget about the ADB command line, and get the opportunity to disable and remove bloatware with an easy-to-use graphical interface. It will help you get rid of unnecessary junk like bloatware and save battery energy. Works great with Huawei smartphones.
You can choose which applications to disable when you load it into the program. If you disable something wrong, you can easily enable it again. Also, you can create your own presets and share them with other users in this topic.

Question Performance settings in Hidden menus/activities

So I just noticed having installed the Activity Manager app through F-droid, I've not yet set up root, so many of the activities will be unavailable to launch. But one app with a couple of hidden settings not accessible at all via device menus is the Performance app. Not only do I see options to enable ZRAM which is disabled by default and have no intention to activate it. But the other hidden menu is of interest labeled Quick Launch. Though that one is found in settings as a simple switch, the hidden menu accesses a page that allows you to set up to 3 apps for Quick Launch.
Has anybody tinkered with these options? Is it better to leave them alone and select no apps for quick launch or is there an app that should absolutely be on that list that I'm likely misusing?
