Ad block plus doesn't really block many ads compared to ad free.
For video either MXplayer or BSplayer.
It blocks pretty much all ads for me when browsing (as good as ad block on firefox) and from YouTube videos, same with apps except for the pop up ads.

Without root it only blocks on wifi unfortunately and not 3g.
That's pretty lame then. Why does it only block over wifi?

I think because you set wifi to go via localhost proxy . With data 3g you need root access to block the ads that way. I dint really get it but thats whay it says. On wifi it actually does q pretty decent job. Presuming its qs good on 3g then the app itself is good but I dont thijk there will be majy decent ad blockers on data without root just by desihn of googken

I have just come across this:

It's a rather strange app. Pretty cool that you can see where the pictures have come from in the world though.

Don't know if this has been posted yet but this is a good app!

Great if you want to pay for everything! Only playable if you crack it tbh
Anyone know a decent London Underground app that can push notifcations of when there's delays on certain lines at certain times?
Tube Deluxe did a great job of this for iPhone but can't find anything similar. The apps I've seen you have to manually check.
Google Now was meant to be pushing updates for this, but I don't think it works in the UK yet.
Also a weather app that could push a notification in the morning when rain was predicted would be good too!
