Yes, I know that. I don't think ad blocking will be easy though, especially if it's built into the launcher/system UI. Nobody managed to touch it on the first KF, you'd take it apart, resign it, and it just wouldn't load. Even if you changed one pixel of an image file which is common among XDA modders.

Not to mention that I even went as far as taking it completely apart into 700+ files and it was just API after API with tons of layouts and hooks.

Someone will probably figure out, but then it'll block something else (you'll lose the stores access), or we'll end up with weird blank sections/pages.
