Program to intercept SMS?

I am new to Android and looking for a program that will intercept certain text messages and allow me to mute it and mark it as read. On my Touch Pro 2 I used a great program called Magicall. Is there anything similar for Android?
Thanks!
Mike

What criteria are you looking for?

ChompSMS has the blacklist feature. It works well for hiding suggestive messages from my friends about my girlfriend from.. well, her.
It hides messages from the regular inbox and from notifications, but you can go in to the settings and specifically state that you want the program to show blacklisted messages. They'll still be in your inbox with this selected, just not come up on notifications. If the option is off, they don't appear in your inbox or notify until you reselect the option.

SPC or super private conversation sounds like what you maybe looking for. Check it out on the market.

Try aFirewall too. It is nice for incoming calls too.

I think this should work for you.

I know CM6 has it native. You can add it in call settings under the blacklist, or when the phone first calls you, as its ringing hit menu, add to blacklist.

That depends on what time of the day. lol. i use red dawn for the most part and cm6 nightlies just to toy around with.

I used sms guard for awhile and it worked great. Never even saw the messages.

does android even need a firewall or antivirus? ive seen both on the market but i am hesitant to install as they used to slow the hell out of my winmo phones in the past.

Afirewall is the name of a specific application.

aFirewall, realy the BEST

I'm pretty sure tasker can block calls and texts.

Try Super Private Conversation, works to block the 9016 text too!

Everything is hide, no ringing, no sms, just cool life with secret girls or something

Lol Sounds neat.

What is the best call blocking app???

What do you use???
What is the best call blocking app. I need to block unknown numbers and stupid telemarketing call. I also need it to log all call not just block them.
Paid and free one's.
I have not rooted my phone yet.

I use an app called Mr. Number. It logs all calls that are made to your phone, and there are various options. I have mine set to allow all calls from anyone in my contacts list. All other calls automatically go to voicemail, and I always have the option to go back and add a previously blocked number to the whitelist. There are other options/things that the app can do, but that's mainly what I use it for.
Because of that, I am only using the free version.

just place the number in your contacts & if you can send them directly to voicemail from there & it won't ring your phone.
just go to teh contact, click menu then click "options" then click the checkbox next to "incoming calls"
that is how I do it. Sure it fills my contact list more, but its the easiest way to not having my phone ring

Root call blocker if you never want it to get sent to your phone at all. Its the only one that does that. All the rest just send to voicemail.

+1 for Mr. Number. Worked great for me.

I've been wanting to use a call blocking app, but how bad does it affect the battery life?

Just use the reject slider, "is da best"
G2X

I use call blocker gold. It has many options but not one call blocker I have seen does what CM7 does built-in and that's send the call to an infinite loop of ringing. There is a Phone.apk and Contacts.apk for Froyo in the HD2 Android section that does this.
Personally, I would rather send a not wanted caller to an infinite ring than to my voicemail. Hopefully, it will be incorporated to the new ROM's coming out.

If you are getting telemarketer calls, get on the do not call list....it's that simple. Anything else...Mr. Number. Just know it doesn't block the calls--that's impossible to do from the handset. It picks up and then hangs up the call.

Call Blocker
Been using Easy Filter. Works great, logs calls rejected and real easy to add numbers to block list. Gives you several options on how to handle blocked calls as well.

I should of said this before, I needed a feature like black list option from my G1 with Cy rom.

Afaik, the only way to do that is by modifying phone.apk and contacts.apk. I am pretty sure the blacklist option is already incorporated in current cm7 roms for the g2x.

Is there an option to send it to an endless ring? Are there any call blockers that can do that? Or any call blockers that will forward the call to a number of your choice?

google voice

Cm7 blacklist

Yep, the two best ones are made by the same company:
Root Call Blocker (for general use):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Call Master (for advanced users):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
These are the only blockers that completely block everything without turning the screen on. Need to be rooted though.

Best SMS Blocker

Until recently I was using GOsms but it was just a bit too slow and bloated, however I did like the SMS filter they built into the latest version.
I get loads of texts from people offering me loans and asking about claiming for accidents I've never had and the new filter would let you block by number or by the message content, so I could type in common words from the sms and they'd be blocked.
Does anyone know of an sms blocker that does this but is stand alone and preferably free?

Search WhosCall, Mr Number , Call Blocker
I have the same problem when using the GoSMS.
There are many apps that provide a faster way to block the sms and call.
Such as WhosCall, Call Blocker, Mr. Number and so on.
But in my use experience, I found that the some apps would make my dial and sms function slow especially when I install all of them at once.
I usually use WhosCall now, it provide a good experience and high speed of search.
Hope it could help you.

[App][2.1+] Yes Disturb Me

Yes Disturb Me lets you notice an incoming call even if the phone is in silent or vibration mode. The phone will ring only if the incoming call comes from a whitelisted number.
Numbers are picked individually from your phone contacts so you can allow an incoming call to ring only if, for example, it is a number of office or a relative.
Supports App2SD, Samsung Multi Window.
Download from Google Play Store.

Awesome didn't Apple just make a commercial about this on their iPhones as if it were some 1 of a kind feature?
Edit: Yep found it

This has been done several times, but I haven't found any good ones. Does this allow sms when silent?

I didn't find any similar app so i developed my own. I wasn't interested in receiving sms. Maybe i'll add this feature.

i am really interested in this, if i get whatsapp notification from this number even if its muted

Works well, thank you for making something simple and easy. Adding SMS would be a great addition! Thank you for the nice app.

Damn ... ads!
I'm using hosts and this thing crashes. I used a program with similar functionality, but forgot the name.
