Adblocker for the Twitter Android app.

Last update: Dec 28, 2022

Overview

Twitter Ad Eater

Twitter Ad Eater is a module for the Xposed/EdXPosed/LSPosed framework that attempts to remove ads from the Twitter Android application.

Installation

Download the module from the Releases page.
Install the APK.
Open the LSPosed app.
Enable the module and whitelist the Twitter app on the module page.
Reboot the device.

Background

I created this module after switching to Android 11 where the original module does not seem to work anymore.

The module is tested so far only on Android 11 and with the LSPosed framework. Feel free to report any issues and I will take a look.

Implementation of this module is inspired by the Twitter AdKiller module but I decided to create my own module because... why not? :P

TODO

Remove promoted trending topics/hashtags
Remove the "moments" or "stories" section (or whatever it is called...) from the timeline to save space
Try to find a more efficient way of filtering out promoted content, instead of hooking into the general ViewGroup.addView method
Filtering out Tweets by keywords

On Android 10 not working fully

My device: Redmi Note 7 ROM: MIUI.eu Android: 10 Using Lsposed The module seems to working fine but I'm seeing at least one promotional tweet in the timeline wherever I open the app which are later disappeared. Also whenever I go to a trending topic for the first time I see a promotional tweet if I go back and revisit the same trending topic again the promotional tweet are gone. And I still see the stories in timeline. Attaching all the screenshots of it. Please provide support and updates to this module whenever need and fix the bugs

Ads flashing and janky scrolling

So far I'm really happy with the module and these are only minor things, so sometimes when opening a tweet or going to the trends and back to the timeline ads appear for a tiny moment. Also scrolling upwards sometimes has a weird "rubber band effect" right where the ad would be located.

Again, these are small things but mby you don't even experience the same problem so just letting you know

Here's the rubber band effect:

Releases(v1.3)

v1.3(May 8, 2021)
Lowered minimum SDK version to 27 (Android 8.1) - this aligns it with the minimum Android version supported by LSPosed. Now it should be possible to at least install the module on lower Android versions, although I have only tested it on Android 11 myself.

Updated some dependencies of the module.

(Note: I had to sign this release with a new key, as I forgot the password to my previous key store :P)
