Is it possible to auto delete SMS?

Let's say that a friend of mine sends texts to someone that he wouldn't want my, (erm his) wife to find out about.
Is there an SMS manager that will auto delete all texts to and from a certain number at 5pm, for example, each day?
My friend will be very grateful for any ideas.

look for a firewall app it wont delete them but it will hide them.

Not exactly a common request, so probably not.
Should be easy enough to knock up an app to iterate through the messaging inbox and delete anything from number x. So if you know VB/C#/C++, or care to put in a few days learning, it should be an easy enough project.
Who knows, you could even profit from it, and we could see AffairCoverup Pro(TM) released in MS' new app store.

Yeeaaaah. ACP(TM) We have a title. I just need to learn to program...

cool app ! I was almost sure that was not possible to do that !

SMS Organizer - should work for you
Try SMS Organizer ( search for SMS Organizer by trailblaze in google play store)
It can auto delete sms when the sms sender matches some predefined number or string.
Basically you can set 'rules' where you mention that if the incoming/outgoing sms macthes certain conditions (say the sender is so and so,or the message text has a certain keyword), auto delete/move it to a custom folder.
Great app to organize and manage your sms inbox bye the way.

Request: Predictive text in forms??

I don't know why the hell HTC or Google dissables predictive text in some forms like search, address boxes, password forms, but it is ANNOYING as hell. Now that we are rooted, would one of the many talented developers care to take a shot on removing this hindrance and allow predictive text in ALL forms?
Many thanks and a beer to anyone who can figure this out.
Oh and also, how about finding where the dictionary file is saved so that I can do a complete clean wipe and install without losing it.

The MyBackup app from the android market will backup/restore your dictionary.

Nice, thanks for that info.

[Q] No keyboard macro app in market, really?

I cannot believe there is not a program similar to the windows program "Keyboard Express." If it is useful on a computer it should be doubly so for a smartphone. I am really tired of typing out my email addresses for starters. I am not part of the texting generation typing with thumbs at 100000 keystrokes a minute. Swype is ok, but it would be nice if I could program long strings as a custom gesture or something. Also program macros that could launch programs in batches or with custom parameters. Find it amazing with all the apps out there that I couldn't find one that does this obviously useful function. Maybe I searched for the wrong thing?

I use an app called inserty. It's not as convenient as if it were built in to the keyboard, but it's very flexible, allowing you to insert canned text like email addresses and passwords or text with fill-in fields like the current date and time, your GPS location, etc.
The way it works is that it's a keyboard replacement. To insert something with Inserty, you long-press in the text you're writing, pick "Input method", and pick Inserty. That pops up a list of all your canned phrases; tap on the one you want and then it prompts you for which keyboard you want to go back to. The selected phrase is inserted just as if you had typed it manually, and you're back to your email or SMS or whatever.
As I said, it's not the most convenient mechanism you can imagine, although it certainly beats typing in my longish email address, but I don't think Android has the hooks to do anything less clunky.

The other thing I should mention, since you're a Swype user, is that the SlideIT keyboard has an abbreviation facility that you can customize. For example, you could associate the abbreviation EML with the text [email protected]; every time you trace "eml", one of the words in the suggestion bar will be that abbreviation (abbreviations are shown in green, IIRC), and selecting that entry will insert [email protected] into the text you are writing.

I use Clipper+
It's a clipboard manager. I have mine set easily access via the notification bar. The Snippets feature is what I use the most.
I can easily paste my 18+ character email address, login credentials, short phrases.
Check it out the free version http://market.android.com/details?id=org.rojekti.clipper

Thanks for the replies, I am exploring the programs mentioned. They might not be very direct, but useful.

I ended up using Clipper, it serves the function, albeit awkwardly.

Just want to say thanks for the thread....solved my long entry problems.

Macro Keyboard
Cubeology
You may try the 'Macro Keyboard' , which allows to define aliases
for arbitrary text. Texts can even be parameterized.
Have a look on the Android market. I am not allowed to post a link here yet

[Looking for an app] Write and send SMS

I'm looking for application same in funcionality as Samsung default 'write&send' app.
I don't want to go to SMS application, then select new message, next big editor and from there send SMS.
I need something that will allow me to easy and fast input message in big editor (fullscreen widget would be the best)
and then just insert contact/number and just send without further hassle. Of course sms should be later on visible
in SMS application in sent. I have hardware keyboard on my phone so SMS by voice does not interest me at all.
Do you know such an app ?

Try and use the sammy write and send app
.its apk is available on xda..search for it
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

How to access text in any text field.

I'd like to run translation from Latin to Cyrilic in any app. What's the best way to access that text.
For context.. here is what i want to achieve:
When i write messages with swype like keyboards in my language(Macedonian) they use Cyrilic. But sending Cyrilic texts is more expensive, so i would like to find a quick way to translate them. I could write java app no prob.. but i don't know how to access this text in any app. I've done this by making a custom keyboard and then changing to that keyboard whenever i need to translate.. but it's slow and repetative. I would like some easier sollution.
