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.

Dropkick Google with Pi-Hole On Your Network
Resource

from https://www.old.reddit.com/r/degoogle/comments/e9ryy0/dropkick_google_with_pihole_on_your_network/

Greetings fellow De-Googlers. Today, as we crest over the 20k mark in membership, I’d like to talk about a tool you can use in your fight against intrusive corporations like Google. I’m talking about a great project called Pi-Hole. Some of you may be familiar with Pi-Hole, while to others this may be new information. If it’s new information, I’m happy to report there is a sub right here on Reddit just for Pi-Hole ( r/pihole ). The mods there are very helpful with any problems you may encounter along the way with this project.

Before I go any further, I’d like to point out that Pi-Hole is open source software, available for free on their website at https://pi-hole.net/. However, I would like to encourage users to donate to this worthy cause and become a Patron of the project.

In a nutshell, Pi-Hole is a Raspberry PI project that acts as an ad blocker. Unlike browser based ad blockers that you may be used to such as uBlockOrigin, Pi-Hole works at the DNS level.

You can run Pi-Hole in a Docker container, deploy directly in conjunction with Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi Zero W, or deploy in conjunction with Centos, Fedora, or Debian or an old desktop running Ubuntu. There are even some folks running Pi-Hole on an old laptop. For all the features of Pi-hole and for what it does, it doesn’t require a lot of overhead to run.

I won’t go into recreating the installation procedures, but I can tell you that with limited tech savvy, anyone can have this set up and running in an afternoon.

So how does this all tie into De-Googling I hear you ask. One of the great features of Pi-Hole is it’s ability to use custom block lists. These block lists contain hundreds of domain names that you don’t want accessing your network. Here is one such list that completely blocks Google and it’s many domains from your network:
• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nickspaargaren/pihole-google/master/pihole-google.txt

Nick Spaargaren maintains this list and his GitHub is located at:

• https://github.com/nickspaargaren/pihole-google

If we were to take a peek inside this particular block list, we can see all the domains it will block from your network:

www.googleanalytics.com
click.googleanalytics.com
ssl.googleanalytics.com
www.google-analytics.com
cctldtest.google-analytics.com
click.google-analytics.com

…..and hundreds more! With a couple clicks of the mouse, you can just about eradicate Google from your network as if it didn’t exist. There are tons of other lists that are available for Pi-Hole that will block all manner of things from your network. For now we are concentrating on the Google aspect.

In closing, I will leave you guys with some links to get you started on your way to a Google free, intrusion free network using Pi-Hole.

NoPhoneSpam

★ FDroid: https://f-droid.org/app/at.bitfire.nophonespam

Block calls from annoying or private numbers on your Android device.

NoPhoneSpam suppresses unwanted calls. Get rid of phone spam and people you don't want to talk with. Just block them. You can determine if you want to see that someone called or even block any notification. NoPhoneSpam is focused on simplicity! It's not cluttered with hundreds of unused features and we don't use any ads.

Features:
Block incoming calls
Use special syntax to block countries or providers or parts of numbers
Add, update and delete numbers
Manage notifications
Simple logging of numbers
Block calls with suppressed numbers

NoPhoneSpam is NOT intended as a feature-rich call-spam fighting app, but as a replacement for Android's missing call blocking feature. If you have Android 6+, you don't need this app, because call blocking should be supported natively!

From the creators of DAVx5
(Maybe needs an update for newer OS's, check Gitlab issues)

Disable Tracking Services
By steveglowpunk

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/script-disable-tracking-services-t4099469

This is a set of scripts that disables privacy invasive tracking components in all user installed apps (service/broadcast receiver/activity/content provider).
Root permission is required to run the scripts.

How it works:
UpdateExodus.sh downloads tracker names from Exodus Privacy ( https://etip.exodus-privacy.eu.org)

DisableTracking.sh will dump a list of components of all installed apps, compare it against the list of trackers name, and disable those components (using the 'pm disable' command) if they match.

Download: Goolag Drive link (https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1_G6-M8ToF0PsjY0HIrZIAVrTHT6nbptE?usp=drive_open) or attached below

Check instructions.txt for details on how to use the scripts.
The latest version is 1.5.
You are recommended to backup your apps before running the scripts.

I hope you will find this useful

The script was originally based on #disablefuckservices here:

Disable Fuck Services script

The goal of this program is to disable many trackers by Google, Facebook and others from the installed apps (and from Google Services if you have them). It will do a search and disable many of the analytics, ads, and firebase services for all user apps

1. Download the DisableFuckServices15.sh file
2. Copy it to /data/local/tmp with some root explorer (I used Mixplorer)
3. Give it 755 permission (also used Mixplorer for this, right after pasting)
4. Open a terminal (like Termux or Terminal Emulator)
5. Do the following 2 commands:
su
cd /data/local/tmp
sh DisableFuckServices15.sh
6. Wait (maybe a couple minutes depending on the number of apps installed)
7. Done

Warning: there is a small chance some apps will force close after this.
If so you can just reinstall them

Useful when you don't have root.
It requires a pc

Start your phone in recovery, then connect to PC. Execute the script on PC (you need to install PERL if you're not using a Linux powered PC)
