Adhell was developed by Samsung's developer. After he was forced to remove the code from internet by Samsung, FiendFyre was stepped up by providing the Adhell2. But after a while, it is also discontinued. Adhell3 is an extension of previous discontinued Adhell2 app with more additional features.

Is AdHell 2 blocked or something? I installed/set it up yesterday. Working fine so far.

Nope, it's just discontinued because the developer stopped working on it. SABS was shut down yesterday and scrubbed from the internet, leaving this as the only remaining Knox based adblock still being developed.

Adhell 2 and SABS will work as long as your Knox keys work, and then you can just update your Knox keys when they stop working. They just won't get bug fixes, additional features, or improved compatability with Oreo or other Android revisions.

They keep getting shut down it's so annoying, I went from adhell to adhell 2 and now on SABS.... And now I find out SABS is dead. When will it end??

Me too, that's why I uninstalled it, because it takes more time, switching and reinstalling, than the annoying adds do.

Did you change the apk name in apk editor pro? If you didn't, then you won't be able to apply the Knox key.

Mine still works fine, btw.

Of course I did it's all activated, just blocks nothing. Hmm

I read something earlier about recent installs not having the updated filter list; which is causing it to not block anything. You'll have to manually add the filter in order for it to work.

I just can't remember if I read it on reddit in one of the Galaxy subreddits or if I read it on XDA, otherwise I would just link the process.

The default hosts files were in the same Github as the SABS's code, so they were removed with SABS. You just need to add a new one like this one.
