Description
You open navigation in a hurry and first sit through a splash ad, then a home screen full of ride-hailing pop-ups, rankings, promotions and a search box cycling through trending terms. MapAdKiller targets the three big Chinese map apps — Amap (Gaode), Baidu Maps and Tencent Maps — blocking splash ads outright and letting you switch off the home-screen cards and floating promos one by one.
No root required: the author ships non-root builds with LSPatch embedded that work as soon as they are installed, and a module build for LSPosed users that covers all three apps. Each map is configured separately, and settings can be backed up and restored.
Splash ad blocking: For Amap it blocks the request, cache, asset download and stored-asset paths together; the author measured cold starts dropping from about 1.5 s to just over 1 s.
Clean home screen: Recommendation and promo cards, the ride-hailing card, home and work shortcuts and floating "new user" promos can each be turned off, with the weather card controlled separately.
Trending search off: Stop the rotating hot terms in the search box.
POI categories: Show or hide nine kinds of map markers — food, shopping, medical, schools, transport, lodging, attractions, finance and services.
Custom home tools: Long-press to reorder the tool grid and hide tools without leaving gaps.
Force-disable auto cruise: Optional switch that stops cruise mode from triggering on its own while keeping manual cruise and navigation.
Two install options: Non-root builds need Android 9+; the module needs Android 8+ and an Xposed framework with API 102. GPL-3.0.
