Credit must be given to the owner of hosts file (Mr Bawbag McGee) who very hard work to create and updating the hosts file. For update, you can follow his tweet at https://twitter.com/bawbagmcgee
Very Important! Your iPhone must be Jailbroke. Backup original hosts file for future step. All ads at Cydia/Tweaks/Application or Games will be blocked!
There are two step to block the ads.
1) Manual : Using iPhone through iFile or PC like Diskaid, Winscp, iTools or iFunbox. This step Im using iFunBox.
a) Connect your iPhone and open iFunBox. Go to Raw File System and navigate to "etc" and file named hosts. Save the original to your PC.
b) Now download this file - Hosts File. Unzip the rar file. Go back to etc and replace the hosts file to this provided by Mr Bawbag.
c) Respring and your done!
2) Repo : Using repo no need to mod/save/replace. Easy.
a) Open Cydia
b) Navigate to Manage / Sources then Edit / Add. Put new repo as http://cydia.myrepospace.com/basic
c) Find and install BaSic-AdBlocker7 V1.0.2
d) Respring and done!
TIPS TO GET MORE EFFECTIVE BLOCKING
Navigating to : Settings> Privacy> Location Services. Scroll to the bottom and click 'System Services' And turn OFF Location based iAds.
Ads will differ to your ads based on our locations. Disabling this will help me block ads overall.
No new icons will be added but hosts file will be changed to block ads.
