So I do not know if this is a native android app, but when you are on the phone, there is a slide up that allows you to respond with a predefined response.
Is there a way to customize these? I have been unable to find this setting.
Good question. Somebody grep -R for the file. I'd like to add a nice reply "can't talk, too busy fighting my phone."
Menu
Settings
Call settings
All calls
Reject call with message
Create new message
In that order. =)
Edited to add that you can short-click on any of the existing ones to modify them. We have a maximum of 5 to play with.
Nice! I see they made it straight forward.
Thanks!

I want to know why some Apps read my SMS...
Downloaded "Go Keyboard" from the market and I think it is a nice App. But when I read the (German) comments, some people complaint about that this App can read your SMS.
What do you think?

If the keyboard should be smart it needs to learn from your typing. One way is to read your SMS/texts or emails.
So you think this is important for the app to work properly and can be neglected?
Maybe sounds like a stupid question but I am still an Android beginner.
Anyway there is nothing important in my messages that I should worry about...

As nothing is save on the internet... it's up to you. The app isn't unknown and widely spread/used, I'd not worry about giving the requested permission.
Other apps however... different story. Rethink your decision everytime an app requests permissions.
If the app works w/o that specific permission is something I don't know. There's an app that can restrict specific permissions, requires root and I sadly don't remember the name right now.
Of course an app can work without certain permissions. But those permission make it more powerful and add functions. If you chopped off your arms, you couldn't entertain someone with juggling could you ?

Just saying
I wondered the same thing! I recently switched to KelLMSKing MIUI Mod and now when I get an SMS, I get two notifications. One is Car Locator wants to read my SMS. It is a GPS App where I can save my car's position in a parking lot and find it easily again. I have no idea why it would want to intercept my SMS messages, so I Deny it.. I looked it up and apparently in some countries, you can pay for parking by text message, and receive reminders that time is running out. That's a feature I'll never use, so I'll just tell it to remember to always Deny that request. The other notification is from Touchdown, which gets my Exchange Server emails for work.. I'm not sure what SMS it would be looking for, so I'll deny them, too
As for the keyboard, I have no idea why it would want to read incoming messages or how that would help it to learn your style.
I think it's more of a perusal of the messages for commonly typed words so that it knows the best words to recommend and predict. Like a scan, to add your speech to the dictionary.
I don't believe any developer is sitting up at night reading my texts. If he is, he should hit me back and help me out with some of my problems. <_<
What is Facebook's excuse then?

Facebook just blatently wants info to target you for advertising... but because theyre so big most people don't care
Facebook needs that permission to verify your account. Afair there's an option to add your mobile# to your fb account.
An application in the market that has been around awhile should be fine. Google will remove malicious software as soon as they know about it. It is new apps asking these permissions that I would be weary of. I use the Go keyboard myself and love it with royal purple neon theme.

im trying to make tasker my default app to replace a bunch of apps in 1. im having a bit of trouble making a reminder profile/s. here are some features im looking for...
*read a .txt file with the list of reminders.
*say them from the .txt file.
*have a continues reminder if no action has been taken. aka respond to it.
*have the option to remind me later (like a snooze for alarm, remind me again in 15min)
*dismiss reminder/mark as "done" (for that day, until the next day/time).
*be universal as in having the reminder tasks anonymous so its easy to "clone" the profile to add another reminder. and no conflicting if multiple reminder profiles are active for that day.
i will post my current settup later on today. it works ok but still some things dont work like if i set the reminder to "later", it does pop up the reminder options to remind me later or dismiss but the problem is that it wont show what the reminder is for. again, will post later. just wanna start up the thread... thanks!
Tasker Profile Help
Hi,,,,

I am struck with a situation.
1) I want to reject incoming call and send sms during a particular time i.e. 6 pm to 7 pm.
I am confused how to use AND operator between two context.
Please help me.

Since Google decided to remove this application from Playstore, I will keep it updated here
SMS4warder provides a quick and easy way to forward your incoming SMS messages to a different phone number.
All you have to do is to set the "forward to" number and enable it.
Optionally you can set the app to start on boot in background so you don't have to start it manually each time you reboot your phone.
I developed this app because I have two phones and I don't want to carry them both with all the time. I hope you will find this app useful, too.
Please let me know if you have any suggestion, I will really appreciate it.
Download link -> SMS4warder

Hi,
Sorry for not replying until now. I have uploaded a new version of the application that has the feature you requested. I had to rebuild the app from scratch so it will install as a different application than the one you already have installed.
Hey everyone.
I have been searching for a good contact app to replace the default android one on my Moto Z Play.
I'm really methodical in organizing my contacts, I need them to have always name and surname, and if at first I don't know the surname of the contact I'm adding I just hate to add tips to remember who it is. What I do is to use other filds, such as company, job or position.
I really need an app that allow me to see this kind of aditional information without having to open/edit the contact, and as far as I know I can't configure the default contacts app to show it.
If any of you do know and app that allow me to show the information in the contacts list screen I would really apreciate it.
Thanks already for your attention.
Hi try rolo full version man...
