Unable to block advertisements

I have Redmi-4A. My phone is rooted and I'm running MIUI Global 8.5.7 ROM. Yesterday I did a fastboot install of this rom because I ran into a bootloop.

Everything is working fine now. The trouble is that Adaway application is not blocking my advertisements. I updated the hosts and rebooted several times but I failed to block ads.


Then I installed Ad blocker reborn for xposed. After rebooting, I got repeated pop ups that MIUI SDK is not responding. I could not get to my home screen at all and the only alternative I had was to disable my xposed using TWRP and creating "DISABLED" file in xposed directory.
The xposed that I installed was flashed from the official xposed apk file. I did not flash any zip.

Now my phone is fine but I have the issue of advertisements. What can I do to successfully use adaway or adblocker reborn?
