For Android Nougat users, or users with bugs, there may be preview builds available from the AdAway XDA Thread. It is recommended to try those builds to see if your issue is resolved before creating an issue. The preview builds may contain bug fixes or new features for new android versions. You can also obtain Preview or Stable builds from the XDA Labs application.

After preview builds have been tested a bit by the more technical or responsive community within the forums, we will then post the stable build to F-Droid.

You can post Issues here or obtain more detailed community support via the XDA Thread.

AdAway is currently maintained by 0-kaladin and Dāvis Mošenkovs. The original author is Dominik Schürmann.

Fork AdAway and do a Pull Request. I will merge your changes back into the main project.

I am using the newest Android Studio for development. Development with Eclipse is currently not possible because I am using the new project structure.

1. Clone the project from github
2. From Android Studio: File -> Import Project -> Select the cloned top folder
3. Import project from external model -> choose Gradle

Translations are hosted on Transifex, which is configured by ".tx/config".

1. To pull newest translations install transifex client (e.g. apt-get install transifex-client)
2. Config Transifex client with "~/.transifexrc"
3. Go into root folder of git repo
4. execute tx pull (tx pull -a to get all languages)
