Thanks for the link bro, it says adaway was removed from play store for violation of some rule.!! So I assume adfree was also removed for the same reason.

Yeah, I think it was because Ads helped in Google's revenue and profit making, and so with these programs their profit took a 0.01% cut and they were not happy about it!!!
Here's an official explanation though:
Google takes harsh stance against ad-blocking apps, removes them from Play Store

Adfree can also be downloaded as an apk.
They have a site hosted too after Google kicked em off the play store.

It depends on what brand are you using. In Sony, you need flashtool(pc) to flash boot. But in Samsung,lg the boot can be flashed through cwm(phone) itself. Though I have no idea about other brands.
