How do we do ad blocking now that Adhell and SABS are dead?

Whenever there is a need to block advertisements, the only names that pop up are Adhell and SABS. The main reason is that both are the most reliable and easiest-to-use ad blockers. Users can also customize their ad blocking in a way no other service allows. Most people need to learn what other reliable adblockers exist because Adhell and SABS have received so much attention since they were launched.

How can you block ads if you do not have Adhell 3 or SABS? The only answer is not SABS. It is a system-wide rootless package designed for managing permissions and blocking ads. To become a Samsung associate, you must meet a few requirements. Also, as a new thing for many users, they must learn how to get and run it. However, do not worry; we will let you know all the details about notSABS here.

How do we block ads now that Adhell and SABS are no longer available?

Simple Adblocker for Samsung (SABS) is Samsung’s own SDK that does not require root access. It is almost the same as Adhell, but Samsung did not like that project and discontinued it for Samsung devices. You can still get it through the source code, but it could be much hustle. Herein lies the need for notSABS. However, for notSABS to run, you need a working version of SABS and a Samsung license key (Knox). You do not have the key, so follow these steps to get the Knox key.

Note: In the last step, if you do not get the key starting with the letter “KLM,” repeat the steps from 3 to 7.

1. Visit this page and sign in to your Samsung account.
2. You can then click here to view your keys.
3. On your left-hand side, click on Generate License Key.
4. Now, head to the “Samsung EDU SDK” section.
5. Click on the “Enterprise license key.”
6. In “Add a key alias,” give a title to the key.
7. Next, click on the “Generate a license key” option.
8. Finally, copy the key, and you are done.

After that, the next step in Android Studio is to change the package name for SABS APK. We have the SABS APK and source code, which can be installed directly or using the source code zip. Now, you need to get the notSABS APK and source code. This will enable you to continue using SABS version 1.0.0. Thanks to Golden Kappa, who made it possible. You can download the source code for notSABS here. After that, follow the steps below to install the changed package name.

1. On your phone, head to Settings >> About the phone.
2. Tap the build number seven times to enable the developer option.
3. Go to the settings menu and select the developer option.
4. Connect your phone to your PC using a USB cable.
5. You can now download and extract the SABS source code here to your PC.
6. Download and install Android Studio from here.
7. Once installed, choose the extracted file.
8. Install the SDK files there and wait for some time.
9. As the file loads, open Gradle Scripts >> Build.Gradle (Module: app).
10. Look for “applicationId” (“com.layoutxml.sabs” on the 24th line.
11. Change “com.layoutxml.sabs” to your preferred sequence, but keep the sequence length as before.
12. Then click SyncNow and wait for a while.
13. Under Android Studio, click the Play button, select your phone, and click OK.
14. As a result, the SABS APK will be generated and installed on your phone.
15. From there, enable Admin, enter the Knox key, and submit it.
16. Once you have activated your license, enable SABS, and you are ready to block ads.

As a result, you can install notSABS on your Samsung phone this way. It has dropped its previous projects, so you can use ad blocking even with that source code hustle. I would like to clarify my point about installing notSABS on your phone, including the Knox key, package name change, and the running of notSABS on your phone. So, even after getting that, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them all below.
