Root Call Blocker - testers needed!

Hi, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
The app is in open beta here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
I dont have a 2x and need testers! Please let me know if you are interested in some hard-core testing and logging...

Hello again - we really need testers, so dont be shy!

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.

what would we need to do to be testers give us more details on what we log etc???

Errors. You log errors and then use the "Send debug data" menu item to send us the logs. We use our own logging mechanism.
DONT FORGET TO DESCRIBE YOUR ISSUE IN THE LOG!

Testing will report back

hmm.. looks interesting

Anything to report guys?

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

Its working very well for me - finally a perfect call blocker, thanks very much! When is the beta going to be over?

Great - but you asked about the beta in the main thread already... two weeks or so!

Hi guys, any feedback on the latest version of the app? We are just about to release an update...

Your application is great.
I must suggest a quick improvement for users.
Here, in Spain, phone spam is a big annoyance. It is great to be able to block certain phone numbers, but the source numbers grow fast and I would like to be able to directly load a plain text file with lots of numbers directly to the application, instead of going one by one to add to the black list. I could add one contact with a lots of phone numbers, but it still would be more time consuming and more difficult.
It would also help tremendously in case of restoring the phone from some problem.
Thank you for your patience and hope to be using this app for a very long time.
So far, so good with my Optimus 2x.

Why not use blacklist feature of android?

Congratulations for this great app. Works very fine for me

Has voicemail and google voice been fixed?

Outstanding issues have been fixed. Please update to 1.5.5 and let me know if your issues are solved. Its important we get some feedback!

If I block SMS, does it stop SMS delivery report in senders phone? Because my gf is annoying me saying I got SMS and still didn't reply her.

No, a connection must be made to know that its there...

Any issues to report with the latest version?

[ROM] RevOidOptT for Optimus T USA [Wifi Calling, fixed MMS, more]

I felt there was a need for an updated rom dedicated to the Optimus T (USA). I could not find a proper rom with both Wifi Calling and fully-functioning MMS.
Thus, RevOidOptT was born.
Wifi Calling works beautifully and full-size MMS can be sent/received. Also, I incorporated google setup on first boot and edited build.prop to fix locale, currency, and date/time issues.
This is based off Neojn's devoid froyo final and most of the credit goes to him. Thanks, Neojn!
Thanks to blueren for theme and franco for kernel!
IMPORTANT NOTES:
-I am not responsible for bricked devices or any other issues associated with flashing this rom.
-STOCK MMS HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH GO SMS PRO IN ORDER TO FIX MMS SIZING ISSUES ON THE T-MOBILE USA NETWORK. IN ORDER TO SEND/RECEIVE MESSAGES, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
1. OPEN GOSMS, HIT MENU BUTTON AND GO TO SETTINGS. THEN, GO TO IMPORTANT TIPS AND SELECT 'Stock SMS uninstalled?'
2. GO BACK TO SETTINGS, SELECT MMS SETTINGS AND SELECT 'Preserve image resolution'
This should give you fully-functional, full-sized MMS. Joy! Joy! Joy!
ALSO, All other messaging apps work with GO SMS installed, regardless of whether stock MMS is present. So feel free to use any messaging app you'd like. (Just be sure the steps above have been taken)
ROM SPECS:
Kernel:
franco.Kernel.v18.1-cfs (Clocked at 600/245 smartass by default. I suggest switching to 748/320 interactivex for optimal speed/battery combination)
Added apps:
noFrills CPU
BatteryCalibration (run after flashing ROM and fully charging phone to optimize battery life)
Added essential sapps
Wifi Calling
Calculator
Calendar
Browser
Carhome
Quick search
Youtube
Clock
Livewallpapers
Music
Movie player
Replaced apps:
LG Keyboard to GB Keyboard
Stock Gallery to Quickpic (much cleaner/faster)
Stock MMS to GO SMS Pro (see important notes above)
Zeam Launcher to LauncherPro
FileManager to FileExpert (very excellent substitute for those that want root access without paying for Root Explorer)
Theme:
SuperBlue Theme v5 (changed boot animation to android particles and removed wallpaper)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download RevOidOptT
2. Do NAND backup (not required but HIGHLY recommended)
3. Wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats, etc.)
4. Flash RevOidOptT
5. Reboot
6. After going through setup, it will force close, just keep going (only a first-time setup bug)
7. Follow instructions above regarding GO SMS Pro settings
8. May have to clear Market cache in order to get apps to show up in 'My apps"
9. Enjoy

OMG! another froyo base on who? Do you have proper permission to use that? If no, i bet someone will request to close your thread.Nice share for froyo lovers!

Haha yes. Permission was granted. Thanks for caring.

General rule is: It's fine as long as you give credit to the people who did any work that you are using. Kernels, roms, apps, scripts etc, if someone else put their time and effort into it, you should credit + thank them, ideally with a link to where it came from.

Ha good question. Just the app changes I noted and the fixed mms. Plus the theme/kernel for those that want a quick fresh install. Mostly tried to package together a rom that is fully loaded (minus some gapps) for the average user that just wants to flash and go without extra hassle.

I really like seeing roms like this! Will put through the paces soon.
Question: did you make any adjustments to avoid the phone defaulting to british currency and location? It may be the franco.devoid that I am running, but I would imagine all versions are the same in that respect. Morelocale2 app fixes this, but I would still like to find a code/setting fix.

You can add WiFi calling to the Optimus T on any 2.2 - 2.2.2 rom for the 01.

Just flashed this rom, very solid/stable thank you!
One thing tho, is there a way to get the stock txt/mms app on here? Don't like go sms much...
I'm assuming there's a reason gosms is included, maybe a problem sending MMS using the stock app? Just in case, if I can use a stock aosp ...could someone point me to a link?

Just installed this last night and after some playing and testing, I am stoked about finding this ROM! Nice work!!

[APP][2.1+] Tablet Talk - Text Message (SMS) on your Tablet

Tablet Talk is an application for text messaging (SMS) on tablets. It requires that the tablet be connected to an Android phone also running Tablet Talk. When a message is received on the phone, it is forwarded to the tablet. When a message is sent from the tablet, it is forwarded to the phone. The tablet and phone can be connected either via Bluetooth or a Wifi network. Tablet Talk also syncs messages you send and receive on your phone while not connected--when you connect, such messages will sync to the tablet. It has too many additional features to list, including caller ID notifications. Currently, you can mute or ignore incoming calls from the tablet, with more to come.
As of September 6th, Tablet Talk v1.0.0 has been published to the Android Market. However, the hope is that this thread will remain an active place for leaving feedback, requesting features, and releasing test versions with experimental features. As always, all suggestions and feedback are highly appreciated. If you have any questions feel free to ask here or via PM or email. Thanks for looking!
When posting issues, please include the following:
-Tablet: model/OS version and ROM (if not stock)
-Phone: model/OS version and ROM (if not stock)
-If the problem is with Bluetooth, Wifi, or both​
Wifi mode: I recommend only using Wifi on trusted, secured networks--e.g. your home network
-------------------
Known issues:
-Not receiving messages? (One of the most emailed and reported "issues":) Are you using a third party SMS app on your phone such as GoSMS or Handcent? If so, please see the FAQ of Tablet Talk's help section for detailed instructions on fixing this problem. It requires a simple and quick change to your third party SMS app's settings. For example:
Handcent: Settings->Application Settings->Default Messaging application: set to "Disable".​
Go SMS: Settings->Receive Settings->Disable other message notification: uncheck​
After configuring the third party app, please open the Android SMS app that came on your phone. Go into its settings and disable notifications. This step is to prevent double notifications for incoming messages.​
-MIUI ROMs: Make sure to allow the app permission to send SMS, otherwise it will crash on the phone whenever you try to send messages. New: disable "System MMS app priority" in MIUI's SMS app, otherwise it will block other SMS apps such as Tablet Talk or Go SMS.​
-Infinite DHCP lease time: experiencing seemingly random and/or frequent disconnections when using Wifi? Please see Issue 20461 and Issue 18648 for more information. Huge thanks to Jon for this information!! This may explain some unresolved Wifi connection problems.​
-Custom ROMs/kernels: If you experience frequent disconnections with Bluetooth and/or Wifi and are not using stock firmware on your phone and/or tablet, please try a different ROM or stock firmware. There have been numerous cases where users switched to a new ROM and disconnections ceased. If you do not want to deal with the hassle of switching ROMs then just email or PM me and I will take care of you no problem!​
-Battery apps: numerous users have found that apps such as Juice Defender or CPU Tuner cause Tablet Talk to disconnect.​
-------------------
TODO:
-UI improvements
-Cool stuff​
-------------------
Changelog: (If a requested feature or reported bug is not listed then please feel free to post here or contact me again. Please note this list may be missing implemented changes)
v1.4+

Acer A500 running Honeyvillain 1.05a which is based on Acer's 3.1 release.
Nexus One running Cyanogenmod 7.1 RC1, 2.3.4.
As a daily use, I would do bluetooth. But, both worked for me (wifi disconnects randomly on my phone, so it is less preferential).
Any way to interact with the phone's notification system so that it stops the ringtone when the message is read on the tablet?

LG Optimus Pad 3.0.1 rooted
Motorola Atrix 2.3.4 running cherry pie
Bluetooth working great!
now if it could also have a caller id pop up like the Playbook, it would really be over the top cool!

Thank you for the feedback. When the phone disconnected, would the tablet always detect it and change to disconnected?
I am looking for a way to disable incoming text notifications on the phone without risking messages not being saved in the default SMS application inbox.

Thanks! Is there a number format you were trying to use in "Compose new message" that it said was invalid? The way it is supposed to work now: it ignores any dashes, and allows any length numbers that may or may not be preceded by a +. Hence "123", "+1234", "23423234", etc are allowed.

Can the icon in status bar be hidden?

Some numbers are in (123) 123-4567 format.

Quick update: by default, incoming call notifications are shown on the tablet. In the future there will be more options to control the sound and vibration for such notifications. If there is interest, conversation threads will also include call logs for received calls.

My only concern is the inability of the user to know if Tablet Talk is running in the background and if so, what exactly it is doing. I will think about this more, however.

You can delete single messages and conversations by long pressing on them, but I will add an option in settings to clear everything at once.

The long press not working for me. The SMS are being saved on the phone side.
Great work so far.

Wow, this is working great over wifi. What a great app! I do think the UI could use a coat of pretty, but I'm guessing the dev efforts have been focused on functionality initially. It didn't seem to auto reconnect on the tablet (transformer, stock 3.2, rooted) after a phone call. Did I just not give it enough time, or is reconnect not yet supported?

Update (8.10.2011):
-added options for the phone call notifications
-fixed multipart text messaging bug (sorry to those of you who were experiencing FC's!)
-added long press menu for phone
-various fixes/tweaks

"coat of pretty" is my new favorite expression.
The phone automatically tries to reconnect so that you do not have to get up and find it if it's on the other side of the house. Originally the Tablet also automatically attempted to reconnect, but I removed it and forgot to add it back. It will be back in the next update along with options to control its behavior.
Is it disconnecting every time you receive a phone call? It should not be doing this. Is anyone else experience this problem?

Delete messages fixed.
Maybe a future feature to be able to answer the phone thru the tablet would be cool.
If a contact has more than one mobile number I can only choose one.

Thanks! Is the WiFi network your home's or work's? The WiFi mode will not work on all networks due to individual network settings. If it's your own home network, check to see if the default port is open.

Root Call Blocker/ Call Master - need testers please

Hi guys. Im one of the devs who make RCB and CM. We recently released an update that was supposed to fix issues blocking and otherwise managing calls on the newer xperia phones.
However im getting conflicting feedback. Please be so kind as to download the apps and test their blocking functionality by doing the following:
1. Add another mobile number to a blocking list
2. Call yourself from that number, write down result
3. SMS yourself from that number, write down result
Post here or find the settings item (its the same in both apps) that says "Write to us" and send logs with a description like "XDA XPERIA TEST". Be sure to say what actually happened.
We had to fix this issue using decompiled firmware so theres no guarantee. And of course theres some people saying it was fixed and some saying it wasnt. Some say that its been fixed in JB but is now broken in ICS, so mention what version of android youre running.
Call Master (completely free): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
RCB (trial): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Thanks in advance!!!

I can only write the same as in call master thread, I have Xperia V, currently on JB 4.2.1, CM 10.1, both call master and rcb works for me without any problems, i do not have reflashed stock today, but yesterday call master was ok on LT25i_9.0.1.D.0.10 firmware

Can anyone else please confirm this?

Worked fine on Xperia V 9.0.1.D.0.10. Stock based ROM.
Added a number to the block list
Rang my phone from the blocked number.
Icon appeared and blocked the call successfully (there was a single hint of vibration)
Seems to work fine

Thanks, but I'm not up on the stock ROM builds.... Is that ICS or job?

It all depends on what kind of settings youre using. Also, it depends if youve recently been viewing logs but its not a lot. On my phone right now with about 30 managed contacts its using 18 MB. But actual use is probably 10 or so, depending on things like the size of your logs, the pages in the app you have recently opened and so on.
Remember, every activity you dont close will be cached by android, so if you for example keep entering the app then pressing home you will be adding a little. Do it 5 times and there will be a bit more. But this is cache, not memory use.
The automatic memory manager will flush caches if it needs more memory - if it has lots, apps will keep adding to the caches forever. Its unfortunate that many people have no idea how this works, they just assume that its a problem.

Works perfectly now thanks!

It is now fixed. Perfect app (root blocker).

I actually like Call Master more, its by the same devs. More granular you know...

It works always.

Rooted JB (489) / Xperia T here: CallMaster works flawlessly

I apology my poor english.
I bought 'Call Master' last year.
Phone model : IM-T100K
When i used Gingerbread it worked perfectly.
But after upgrade to ICS 4.0.4, sms blocked well, call does not blocked at all.

Did you notice the whatsapp bug ??

Did you notice the whatsapp bug on nokia lumia phones ??
http://www.hackinthus.com/2013/01/windows-phone-whatsapp-bug_26.html

Yes, happens the same with me. Also, I'm unable to share screenshots via whatsapp.

Apparently it is due to WhatApp using a music streaming agent to keep the wifi connected when the screen turns off, this allows messages to come in when you have no data connection. This is what causes the bug with the music player.
It is really annoying and hopefully they should remove it now that the portico update allows users to force wifi to stay connected while the screen is off.

Yes its really annoying !! Is Microsoft or whatsapp even aware of this bug ??
I don't think so but its a real serious issuw which they should fix fast !!

It is not a bug and it has been there for months! Before even wp8 came out

Download Stop the Music app, or just play some music.
It is really annoying though, and WhatsApp has promised an update a long time ago.
Hopefully the update can bring the app partially close to what it's like on other platforms.

Please share

Whatsapp is full of bugs and flaws and i've already sent them about everything.
here's what bothers me:
- Can't send screen snapshot
- Can't send a broadcast
- When I want to forward a message, i have to search all over the contacts from the start (no recents chats)
- Can't open personal pictures.
- Can't set different ringtone for single contacts and groups.
- Can't creat a notification shortcut on lockscreen.
- Wuld be great if i can maximize the live tile so i can read the message without opening the app or just to know who's the sender.
- I can't send the videos I shoot.
- if the message is too long, the last part of it is unreadable because it's out of the bubble (black font with black background)
but everything else is good

Ha ha, , everything else is fine !!

I'm slowly starting to think WhatsApp is abandoning WP8 or so? There is no news nor updates on the ton of bugs WA for WP has, the last tweet from them from mid January stated we would see something in the upcoming weeks... Still nothing yet while the iOS and Android versions are in full swing.
WP is such a great platform, Whatsapp seems to ignore it. Shame on them :crying:

is not a bug. They use music api in order to be in background and do not miss notifications. This is more part of microsoft. Facebook for example do not use music api for notifications but those are way so bad, whats app in other hand works better. This will be fixed when Microsoft fix it.

Line wechat without the music API are working ok with notifications.. Whatsapp is using the music API just to keep the WiFi alive. With portico update the music API hack is not need it. Its whatsapp fault.. Don't blame Microsoft
