CM 12S Blacklist problem - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, blacklist doesn't block some alphanumeric sms senders. I can't manually enter because only numeric keyboard opens. I searched all over the internet i couldn't find a solution, does anyone know a fix ?

Can you give an example

I believe is normal because in most of the cases you want to block real persons and not sms gateways. Perhaps a third party app may give you what you want.

[APP][1.6+] Balance update / USSD blocker

Hi Folks,
Some carriers send a USSD balance update message after each call, and sometimes after each data session on prepaid plans. This is very annoying, and SMS blockers won't stop these USSD messages.
I wrote an app to block USSD messages by keywords or regex. Works well for me in blocking my carrier's balance update messages.
My first android app, so please let me know if I can do something better.
Credits to commandus.com/blog/?p=58 for showing how to intercept these messages using the undocumented hook.
App is "com.melkote.quietbalance" on Google App Store. The v1.0 of the app is also attached to this post.

isn't working
Using galaxy s2 (AOKP 1CS ) If that matters.
I selected keyword and its not blocking ....
Edit: working, my bad didn't restart.thanks it's what i was looking for
Works perfectly (Galaxy S2 with CM9)
I've been looking for something like this for a long time but I just wasn't sure how to do it. I was told that these messages are not exactly USSD because USSD requires a code to be sent.
Also, thanks for the link to the blog with the sample code. I was looking for a way to make a widget that updates automatically using the intercepted message.
a big thanks
Thanks a lot, just what i need,i have requested for this in numerous forums, the only reply i got was it's operator based, contact your operator btwn you should reboot after seeting the matching words,
In my case the matching words are,last,call,
U can set this according to your ussd, n once you set you are ready to go,if some one wishes to be know their balance their can try prepay widget , n since it's not free i would like this feature to be incorporated in this app,
s2 running ics remix,
Hi Folks,
Thanks for all the feedback, here and elsewhere.
I've updated the app to ver 1.1 - this version adds a screen to show the last 25 messages and action taken (block or allow) and fixes a bug with blocking frequency.
You must reboot your phone if you update from 1.0 to 1.1 (or install either version).
As I'm a new XDA user, I can't edit the original post (due to presence of URL). So I've attached the APK to this post. If any moderators can move the APK file to the first post, it'll be great!
Thanks!

how to block idea data usage msg. ths app not banning class 0 message i.e. data usage
I'm on airtel n it's working for my data messages, so it should work on idea also
Just place the words that appear in your data balance ussd, like mb,last,charge,etcn you should be fine, you should reboot to get it started
from raj's s2
do an tutorial please
I'm on Airtel in India, and worked a charm - thank you very much!
I managed to use it on several messages that come through with different wording using the Keyword List.
Thanks again!
Now, what would be *really* useful is a widget that takes the info from the messages and displays the latest balance info - although there are other aps that do that

The messages have stopped, which by itself is a great relief......earlier by the time i had waded through the layers of OK i was missing calls! Thanks talkative.
But the beeping still continues. Is there any way to turn that off too or have i missed something in the settings?
Not able to block the message bal pop ups
Hi I installed this app but itz not able to block the msgs.
When I tried to send the bulk sms from my sms application, I still recieve the balance messages from service provider.
How to block the messages? What to write the message matching string for that?
Multiple options to match strings would've been nice.
s
Bydefault for the past few days my balance messages stopped. is there any way to activate it.
Works perfectly with Airtel. Just use keyword blocking list and add words like balance, validity, usage to it to block all messages. Thanks!
Hi, I just installed it today and was just amazed by it. Currently I am using Keyword blocking to block messages.
I would like someone to explain blocking messages using sub string and / or regular expression with example.
Thanks in advance.

+1 Does it work on Jelly Bean too ?
It blocks the Message but Bip and Vibration is still there
Dear Developer,
Many congratulations for making such a wonderful app.
I found two problems with it.
1. It blocks the message but vibration and bip sound comes after every net session
(this has been solved by reinstalling) <s>2. When I send any code from my mobile to check balance e.g. *111#, it stop them too. I mean it keep showing "sending" on screen so message is not going out. </s>
I will appreciate if you look and check for above problems
Thanks

Source Code?!
Great work.
If it's not too much bother, is the source code available? I'm trying to implement a USSD interceptor and I was wandering if I can use your code as a starting point.
If it's not open-sourced but you are OK with sharing it please send it to me @

If it's not feasible, sorry for bothering you.
Hi mSobhy90,
I'll clean it up and put it on GitHub in a few days, I love open source!
In the interim, everything you need is here:

(You can translate it quite well with Google Translate)
I want to link to that post so the original finder of the hook point gets credit.

[Q] How to view blocked sms on opo cm11

I would like to view the blocked sms, Is there any method to restore it back to messaging inbox? Or it was straight away deleted upon receiving the message from blocked phone number?
Unblock them and you should be able to see them. Depends on your SMS blocking method as well.

Hmm... if you use a texting app such as ChompSMS (or any others) that have the blacklisting feature. i know on chompSMS when you add someone to the blacklist, and when you remove them... the text message will reappear as well as the messages they've sent to you before blocking. It could possibly be a limitation of the blacklist feature built into CM?

I think so, I looked around and found some people suffered the same problem. However, no one answered them. I hope CM team should implement this feature. "View blocked Messages" :good:

auto encrypt/decrypt sms app request suggestion

Hi, I recently registered to ask this question: I found an app that can send encrypted text over the network, it also exchanges keys, and when it receives a text automatically decrypts in the SMS app, I'm wondering if anybody knows how to mod it so that I can also intercept outgoing messages and encrypt them? I know this is possible because there was a Google Voice app that could do that once, this would just be for encryption,
The app is linked here, it hasn't been developed for a long time

Are you asking for a app that encrypts messages sent from a 3rd app? (Or encrypts mail? Or what?)
Or just a sms encryption app like smssecure ?
email encryption app ?

No
I have not find anything that even remotely works like that.
Anywhere.ever.
I have spend a huge number of hours and days looking at various encryption apps and methods for sms and email.
And I have found nothing that lets you use your app, intercepts the text, encrypts it and sends it.
Nothing that even intercepts sms in Any way honestly.
And I hope that I never do add that would leave a huge security vulnerability in Android.
Yes I know that sms can be read by any app..
But not as far as i have found anything that intercepts incoming or out going sms.
The app you linked to is very similar to smssecure which is a open source sms encryption system formed from text secure when they went internet only messaging.
Sms secure is the standard for sms encryption.
There is even a version around that doubles the key length used.
I don't know of anything better for sms

Text and call blocking App

Hi. Can you suggest a good call blocking app? An app that blocks only texts and calls from numbers I add.
Thanks

I use RootCallBlocker, it lets me quick add people if they call or go through my recent call logs and pick people to block. As the name suggests you need to root your phone to use it.

Blacklisting Info Messages not working BLN L22C675B320

Guys please let me know if you are facing the same issue in the stock messaging app for emui 5. It's very glitchy to blacklist info messages. Sometimes it works sometimes not. You can't even check from harassment filter to add info messages sender directly.
I guess update is required by Huawei ..
btw, can anyone suggest an alternate sms app which has filter options to turn off notifications and also has mark all as read option.

Ok I tried textra.. I was happy then suddenly my sms stopped working in ultra power saving mode.. Where it default the sms to stock messaging app again.. Again I had to default to textra..
you can use truecaller.
stock messaging app dont have this feature for info message received from AB-XYZ address. if it contains anything as alphanumeric or even AB-12345 then it will work.
How about GoSMS?

Truecaller has problems ... Full of ads .. pro version is costly ..and it identifies spam messages itself.. like sms from ola cabs automatically goes to spam box with silent notification..
I uninstalled the stock sms app (using adb without root) but then the ultra power mode again creating problem .. it is making truecaller as default sms app ..don't know why ..truecaller is imp service in India to search unknown number ..but I don't want to use this as sms app .. this is frustrating ..such a simple functionality messed by emui .. and no call to customer care helped ..

Only alphanumeric number can be blocked as of now. No option to block all alphabetical address on stock

Well other apps can do .. google's stock , textra, truecaller's ..
But when you will use ultra power it again set the stock as default..this is irritating even more ..
