AIR
AIR is short for Advertising Identifier Reset. A utility app for Rooted Devices to clear / reset Advertising Identifier.
The App handles all the device formats i.e.
- Devices with GMS Installed
- Devices without GMS Installation (Huawei, Other Core Chinese phones, etc.)
How AIR works
For devices with GMS Installed, the process is pretty straightforward which simply deletes the
file adid_settings.xml!
On devices without GMS, you’ll have to paste the Advertising Identifier once so that the app
can traverse the filesystem & store the path of the file that contains the identifier. This is used
then to fetch the identifier which can be deleted anytime (if it exists).
Note: There can be instances where multiple files contain the provided identifier, the path of
the first file is used in that case.
Yes I do plan to do something about that in the future.
But Why?
- I was bored ?
- I don’t want that blue colored big bad to show me Ads about the things I’ve just thought about ?
- I didn’t wanna navigate to Settings everytime ?♂️
TODO
- Add
WorkManagersupport for periodically resetting the Advertising Identifier.
