Have you considered paying for the apps you use, or using open source apps (such as from F-Droid) that don't include ads?

  Many apps don't have paid versions, only ad-supported, and even more apps don't have open-source equivalents. I'm sure you're aware of this.

    install something like 3C, root your phone, disable all the analytics/ad-services from individual apps; also installing something like AdAway will block most ads via the Host file

    I use an iPhone, although I have used Android many years ago (purely because of open source convictions), and I didn't know this. God, it's awful. I try very hard to use only paid apps on iOS even if there are free apps because I don't want to support the data-mining industry (not that paid apps can't participate in it, but at least I hope it's less likely). Most apps cost less than a coffee, and personally I get more value out of the apps I use than from a cup of overpriced coffee.

  Only ever open in airplane mode!
