Root Call Blocker - CDMA testers needed!

Hello guys, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
The app is currently in open beta here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
I dont have a Droid X or any CDMA phone and need testers! Please let me know if you are interested in some hard-core testing and logging...

Downloaded and will test on my Droid x ...

Thank you! And dont forget to update in the next few hours, we are pushing a bugfix later today...

i've been using it for at least week, and downloaded 2 or 3 updates. as far as i know, it works fine. i tested it on calls, but haven't on sms. i like that the phone doesn't ring at all.
sent you an email suggesting the log be optional.
sorry, i'm using droid x on liberty gingerbread v0.5.

Yes, i got the email, i will be adding logging options soon! Any more suggestions?

I have been using it and it seems to block calls but not text messages.
I tried it as just block SMS only & I also tried it to do SMS & block calls
But it never did the SMS!

Please write in this thread if you have comments or suggestions!

I'd love too test, I been looking for a better call blocker, although it force closes on me everytime I try to install it.

Do you have root? If not, it will do that...

been rooted since day 1

You will have to send us some logs... fcs are not exactly a common issue.

Hello guys, please get me some feedbeack on the latest build. Are sms blocking issues using "block and save" still present?
Weve been trying hard to iron things out, and have two new reject methods planned especially for cdma phones, so i will need some of your help to get them working properly! PM me if youre interested.

Updated, let me know if your issues are fixed please!

I'll give it a go. I've been looking for a good application like for a while

Hi, could you guys please give the following version (preview of tonights release) to see if SMS blocking is fixed.
EDIT: ATTACHMENT REMOVED

The latest update is very stable!

D/ling now I have been looking for a good callblocker. Will let you know my thoughts in a day or two.

Hi, that version has been deprecated. You had better get the latest market version as it has been updated considerably!

I just tested this with a buddy of mine. My voicemail is still picking up even though I set the block method to constantly ring.
Could this be a problem because i use google voice?

Advance call manager like app which can record greetings !!

I live in India so I don't have voice mail on my mobile like carrier. I would like an app like the Symbian Advanced call manager which after some time of not picking up the phone plays a recorded message and records the message the other person has given. Like an Answer machine. Free apps are preferred.
Thanks

i don't think there is one mate..... the old symbian Nokias did...
that was because they were able to send sound directly to the caller ... i dunno if its a hardware limitation ... i really hope someone can figure that out... :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Afaik it is not available on android, there is some limitation on Android for this.
If i missing one and only thing from my Nokia then this is same.
Even i have used interactive voice call Master, the best and most configurable call manager.

I always used to believe Android is open source and there are no limitations but this thing falsified all assumption.
I badly miss it.

Yeah... I was thinking If We have a answering call app kicking in when We rejected a call. So the app takes over with a greeting message and records the callers message into the memory card?
Nope? Nothing of that sort?

I too tried to work my work using tasker
But the problem is the phone calls are played from a different channel, and media content like ringtone and notification are played through different channel

The only Symbian feature that I miss

Sorry to bump into this really old thread but recently Google implemented AI calling and Xiaomi too which not just plays a recorded message to the caller, instead it actually 'talks' to the caller based on the input we give which makes me wonder if this is possible via an app now

I am running the liquid smooth ROM and I had a question that I do not thing is specific to the ROM. I have a black list of phone numbers that are rejected when they call my mobile number, however whenever I update my ROM or switch to a different ROM I have to re-enter those numbers which is a total pain. My question is, is there a file somewhere on my phone that has those numbers that I can back up and restore when I update or change the ROM?
I hope that makes sense..
One note, I am not using any 3rd party app to reject the calls.

Wrong section, probably why no one has answered. Belongs in Q&A.
Anyway, I'm assuming your rooted? If so go into TiBu & restore data for that app.Also see if there's a backup/restore feature in the settings of that app for next time.
Just saw no 3rd party app? How are you blacklisting?

[APP][4.1+] 8sms: Android 4.4 KitKat / CyanogenMod 10.2 stock messaging with extras

EDIT: Download 8sms from Google Play or download from the website.
EDIT: 8sms now based on Android 4.4 KitKat / Cyanogenmod 10.2. See post #394.
EDIT: App renamed from 88sms to 8sms. See post #246.
Hi,
This is my first android app and my first app announcement on XDA so apologies in advance if I've broken any rules.
I've ported the stock messaging app and then added some enhancements and changes so it can (hopefully) work on any Jelly Bean phone. This app is downstream from the latest Android 4.3 and CyanogenMod 10.2 (not-yet-released as of writing).
(ICS compatibility is a possible future feature.)
Please have a look if interested and feel free to try it out.
The Play Store link is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms
Excerpts from the app description follows ...
Notable features
Notification pop-ups
Quick reply
Gesture based templates
Emoji support
Optional dark theme
Install this app if you want to use features from the latest Android messaging app without having to wait for a full phone software update.
Usage
Whilst 88sms is a replacement for the messaging app that came with your phone, it is actually an add-on application only.
Please do not disable or remove the messaging app that came with your phone as that is still required to receive sms and mms messages.
88sms works best if you turn off notifications for the messaging app that came with your phone. Then you won't get two sets of notifications.
Phone compatibility
This app may not work (yet) on the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. If you install this app on one of these devices, please let us know if it works.
If you install this app on your phone and it does not work, please let us know. Please be sure to specify your phone model and software version number, and the version of 88sms you have installed.
Permissions
This app requires a wide range of permissions because it is a port of a system app. System apps use a lot of permissions. Full network access is required in order to send (or download) mms using your phone's cellular data (mms) connection.
Thank you.

Works great. Left my rating on the play store.

Sure, really appreciate it. after install, i open it, but one dialog box appear (it said: sorry...._ i can't remember) then escape the program. i tried several time, same thing. so i uninstall your software.

Works great on note 1

mms isn't working it just keeps trying to send and never sends. The stock messaging app works fine. I am using a Note 2 on att with a rooted stock rom

Yea group messaging doesn't work since the MMS problem. It just stays sending and won't go through.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium

On Sprint GS4.... MMS doesn't send on this app :/ but when I go to my stock messaging app it sends and I receive it from both apps, just a little workaround to an otherwise amazing app. Love the look and feel like AOSP! Some custom theming options would be great!

Great app, I already love it...
A nice feature that I would like to see is the ability to set the number of line for tying SMS... Because 3 lines is not enough for long SMS typer like me ^^

I will follow up and try to fix the bugs. Unfortunately, I've gone travelling ...
Hi,
Thanks to everyone of you for trying it out and thanks for the encouragement and feedback!
I acknowledge there may be a few problems on some devices ... it is my first app, after all, and it's not like I have a lot of different phones to test it on
I will follow up and try to fix the bugs. Unfortunately, I've gone travelling for a week so I might not be able to do much until a week later.
But I will follow up.
Thank you all!

Damn!! Well once you get back this app really has a lot of potential... just letting you know! don't give up man, this is gonna be awesome, I have a feeling!

Works great on my I9100 using LSS/AOKP Chameleon ROM.
Only thing I would change is the icon.

Does not work on HTC first running sense 4+ rom. Will revert back to stock rom tonight n give it a go.

[WIP][FREE][ROOT]WhatsGear. Whatsapp from your wrist.

Hey xda!
Since there seems it isn't going to be released a gear-compatible Whatsapp app by official sources I started my way into developing applications for wearable devices with my own client.
Its buggy and not reliable as my knowledge is pretty limited. But it does its job most of the time. I'm trying to figure out how to make it work better, so with time and luck, It will improve.
CURRENTLY WORKING FEATURES:
View the list of chats, with their latest messages and hours.
Open chats, showing up to the last 50 messages (sent or received) and their hours.
View contact profiles from where you can check his/her status and phone number.
Reply to chats from the watch! (Sometimes messages will not be sent until Whatsapp is opened in phone, specially if sending lot of messages in a short period of time. Some other times, whatsapp remains opened in the device after sending it.)
View profile pictures.
View received images
NOT IMPLEMENTED YET (but scheduled/planned/desired for next updates):
Push notifications on watch for new messages, allowing you to directly open the chat in the watch (Replacement for default gear notification.) [Needs some work, but will come soon].
View received images in higher res. View videos/audio.
Last seen.
Group chats.
Start a new chat.
View / edit your own profile
Call and send SMS from contact profile ( there are buttons for it , but do nothing ).
Voice reply
Send images / videos
REQUIREMENTS:
Rooted phone (Android 4.4 KitKat or higher).
Tizenmod.
sqlite3 installed on your phone. If you dont have it, there are apps in the PlayStore that can install it for you, or you can manually copy sqlite3 file to system/xbin from an emulator.
Whatsapp installed (Obviously... ) and working on your phone.
Notification access for WhatsGear must be enabled on phone settings.
Root and sqlite3 are required in order to access Whatsapp's sqlite databases.
I'm not publishing this application in the Samsung Store, but Im releasing it here for all xda users.
If not clear, I have nothing to do with Whatsapp. This is a personal project for my use that I wanted to share with whoever wants to use it too.
I cannot be held responsible for any damage related to hardware, software or data loss which the end user might cause while attempting any procedures, methods or advices found on this thread.
Reviews, bug reports and ideas are appreciated.
Hope you like it

If you swipe right or left in the keyboard special chars should appear. (I noticed some important ones are missing as ",". I'm adding them later).
Whatsapp should be closing by itself without the need of closing it from recents Im sorry to hear it isnt for you. Im at work now, but I'll take a look at it when I arrive home and add a button for force closing on gear app while I can't get It to work well by itself.
Thanks for your feedback.

Remote test lab is for testing your apps in different devices. I used it just to check if it got installed with your devices well as I don't have a note 3. Not sure why you are asking for it when you own both devices, but anyway its on http://developer.samsung.com/remotetestlab/
