Unfortunately, much as I'd like to help, I don't know anything about AdAway
other than links to the software and forums to ask detailed questions of.

 <https://app.adaway.org/adaway.apk>
 <https://github.com/AdAway/AdAway/releases>
 <https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.adaway/>

So I'll let others respond to the AdAway portion of the issue, but may I
ask if you're using an ad-blocking DNS &/or system-wide ad blockers?

System Wide Ad Blocking

The main reason I ask is I haven't seen an ad on my Android phone in, oh, I
don't know how long - but it could be years and I use it daily on the net.
