Android - Which system process do I block from the internet to prevent ads from showing up?
Such ads are not fetched from the internet, they are built into the app. Usually the ads would feature some other app from the same developer.
The reason why you still see those ads when you've blocked internet is because they're cached. If you erase the app data, then you won't see those ads, but all login information (if used) will also be deleted.
There isn't any specific process on the Android system that is responsible for fetching ads. The application itself fetches the ad. So unless you find a way to kill a thread on the app that fetches those ads, you won't be able to do anything.
Your best course of action is to:
- Buy the paid version of the app. (Supports developers :-) )
- Install some AdBlocker app. (Might require root.)
- Bear with the ads.
