[Android 2.1+] Root Call Blocker - the only real call blocker

MOD EDIT: links removed
Root Call Blocker
Feeling paranoid? Reject calls from both unknown and blocked numbers! Unlike all other apps calls are rejected before your phone begins to ring!
Fahrbot Mobile are happy to present Root Call Blocker, the only true call blocking application available on Android.
Unlike all other call blocking apps, Root Call Blocker silently blocks calls at a system level, even allowing you to chose a network state reply.
**NEEDS ROOT**
Current features:
- Your phone never rings
- Reject calls from any number, including those with "blocked" network ids
- Reject wildcard numbers
- Hidden mode (removes app elements until secret code is dialed)
- Scheduling
- Choose a network reply (Reject, Alternative Reject, Slow Reject, Fast Reject or Dont answer)
- Block SMS
- Store or delete blocked SMS
- Use profiles to merge different black/ white lists
- Detailed logging
- Rejected call/ SMS notifications
Root Call Blocker is in Beta, and we invite everyone to download and try out the app! However, the Pro version can be used to donate as we phase out the Beta.
Debugging
Please follow the instructions in the app's Settings menu to send us logs of your error. Reproduce te error, then send the log.

No it doesnt. Your ignorance is damaging our reputation.

Does it work like the stock android call blocker ??
I mean beep sound should be played instead of the "Person you are trying to reach is busy ".

Great app!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Great app, already paid for the donate version. I also paid for another call blocker in the past (around €5) but it turned out to be crap. Great work, some more features would be cool but blocking couldn't be better.

Having used modified Sony Ericsson W595 and K800 to have the "black list" patch, I was wondering if there was something similar for Android.
I installed the beta version onto my Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro, and glad to report it does work from testing from my other phone. The Mini Pro is using an O2 SIM with the voicemail disabled. The phone used to test was a Sony Ericsson K800 that has an Orange SIM in it, and these are my findings:
Call block:
Reject: rings once then disconnects (drop call)
Alternative reject: appears to answer (phone used to call seemed to have "connected" - however the other person would probably get the hint and put the phone down after a while)
SMS block:
Currently I have only tested the "block and save" - which still allows you to view the text that was sent. However, be advised that delivery reports were still allowed to be sent to the phone that sent the SMS.
As I said: I have not tried the other settings.
There is no sign of any missed calls or SMS received in the call log/inbox (which I think is a good thing).
Overall I am impressed with this app. Nice work

There's a bug with alternate reject in the current build. We will be fixing it shortly.
For now, a ittle update with new help files...

Save for the option to hide itself, how does this differ from Easy Filter?
Not trying to be a pain, Im just wondering...

Try the beta and find out... all i can say is that is much more powerful. Faster blocking, more options, less system footprint, native code... the list is bigzorz.

i really like this app, it works nicely on my Nexus S and my Desire HD as well
bought your screenshot er before and this now! thanks!

Wow this is AMAZING!

Please dont forget to use the debugging tools

i wouldve liked to be able to take screenshots with more options, than shaking and tapping an icon, it looks crazy if you suddenly start shaking your device in the middle of the bus or tram or smthing

Youre in the wrong thread mate!

Anything to report?

Is there any chance of your creating links to Tasker? Call Master seems to be the only call blocker that can intercept calls before they ring. Tasker is more flexible in what it can do. If Call Master could inform Tasker of incoming calls in time for Tasker to react before it rings, I'd happily pay a license for Call Master solely for that reason.

Tasker... everyone wants plugins but they are so annoying to make
And of course not exactly for average users. Im fine without tasker thanks. The new password protection is working excellently!

We will be making a plugin!

No more unwanted calls!

We have just released an update, please see the market for more information!

Absolutely top class.

NANPA database hack containing all area codes in wildcard format:
jawz101 said:
I took the area codes from North American Numbering Plan Administration: NANPA
and played with it in excel to get a list of all area codes in North America (Canada, US, and random countries that use NANPA codes) and made a wildcard blacklist
if you have a fresh install of Root Call Blocker 2, make a backup in the app settings to sdcard, drive, etc.
open the rcb2.bck file with an unzipping program.
download the database.txt file & rename it to database.ent
overwrite the database.ent file with the one attached.
rezip all of the files and rename the zip to rcb2.bck then reimport into Root Call Blocker
It will overwrite your blacklists and whitelists so make sure you're ok with that but you can add them back later.
Make sure to remove area codes you talk to frequently since we're blocking the whole continent.
I'd probably do that and then set your blacklist to send to voicemail so you're not simply rejecting other area codes. Doing it this way instead of the file/csv import let me name the area codes with state names. I guess I could spend some more time finding a resource that showed the metro area for each individual area code but I didn't get that from the file I used off the NANPA website but if anyone wants to run with it it isn't that difficult to reproduce this. I'll also add the Excel file that formatted it all. You'd just copy the J column into that database.ent file somewhere in the TABLE =entries section.

As your schedule end mode you should choose user defined list to fill in the gap.

Just to let everyone know the apps price has been permanently lowered to US 3.99 plus local tax. This is a consequence of googles new tax policy for some countries.

Impressive sale i finally bought the app. after (sorry to say this) using the free version for a few years. Got a new job and the supervisor is a nutcase always ringing me from different numbers when i block him so i have to get the pro version for the extra numbers allowed. Well worth the two bucks, more even come to think of it. I also own your Undelete app (i did the Ukranian translation for you). Thanks again.

Not allowing SMS
RCB is by far the best call blocker I have found! Most of the others will successfully block the call, but then allow the caller to go to voice mail - not at all what I want. With answer/wait/hang up, RCB kills the call nicely. Thank you!
The only problem I have is that while RCB service is active, no SMS messages get through - even with 'Manage Lists' > 'Settings' > "Message Blocking Allow' still nothing gets through. Sometimes I can disable RCB & other times I have to reboot the phone to get messages to get through.
This is on a LG L41C Ultimate 2 with Android 4.4.2 TracFone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
