My windows 7 laptop recently stopped being able to talk to my Nexus 4 through ADB when the phone is set to MTP mode. It works when the phone is set to camera mode. Settings -> Storage -> menu -> USB Computer Connection. Change to camera (PTP) mode if media device (MTP) mode isn't working.

What with Android Pay not working on rooted phones, and the inability to take OTAs now, rooting is becoming quite cumbersome. I'll miss being able to use my notification led on my nexus 6, but that's acceptable. Ads are not acceptable; what's the recommended practice for ad-blocking on an unrooted phone?

I saw adblock plus which operates an on device proxy and that looks like the best way to go so far. But I do not like the "acceptable ads" direction adblock plus is going.
I'm aware of adblock browser and firefox with ublock, but those only handle browser ads. I want to block in-app ads as well.

What apps are you currently using that have ads?

I don't know, I've been blocking them for so long. Also, future apps I may install (flavor of the week games, etc).
