[BETA] Root Call Blocker -we need CDMA testers!

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 thunderbolt and need testers! Please let me know if you are interested in some hard-core testing and logging...

I know for the stock images, they added a call blocking feature to the software.

Its nowhere near as powerful as our app...

I think I might give this a try later on.

Please do, and dont forget to let me know of any issues and suggestions!
Also, we update the app on almost a daily basis, so be sure to check the market for updates often.

I've been using this for about a month now and even after using about 4 call blocking apps, this one has been the best out of all of them.
Whether you're dodging telemarketers, collectors, crazy ex-gfs, or your in-laws, this app is great!

Thanks for the high praise! Are there any features you would like to see?

I might check this out. I've tried several call blockers since moving to the Android platform from an AT&T iPhone and none have had the functionality of iBlacklist. I've been using aFirewall the most and it works fairly well with my two gripes being the phone doesn't ring when I get a call but the screen comes on and I don't have an option to have the blocked caller hear a busy signal or not in service message....they all go to voicemail which is a pain. The second problem may be a Verizon thing though. If I give this a shot I'll be sure to give you some feedback.
Oh, one question. aFirewall backs up your blacklist as a txt file on the sd card, any way to import those into your app easily or am I just stuck manually adding them?

For now you will have to add manually. The RC next week will use a backup system as well.

With a little experimenting it seems if I have it set on 'reject' the blocked caller hears endless rings, and if set on 'alternative reject' the caller hears almost 2 rings and then there is a cutoff and dead air. This is on a Thunderbolt running BAMF 1.6.3 on Verizon. It may not be possible but I would love to have an option for the caller to hear the fast busy signal like iBlacklist. In all the tests the phone did not ring and the screen did not come on, so awesome job on that! I'll keep testing for a few days but wanted to give you some initial feedback. Thanks for the hard work.

I've been using Mr. Number for a while now to block calls.
How does this app differ (if it does)...
if its somehow better, I'm more than willing to give it a go.

What happens to blocked calls? Do they go to VM? Pickup/hangup?

I'm liking this so far, seems like the best option out there.

I have been using for about 2 weeks and lots of updates which is good. Initially the calls went to voicemail but since then I haven't had any new ones. Great app for stopping those damn telemarketers.

I'm all over this. I have over 200 collection agencies calling me. I also was running extreme call blocked but it ended up blocking calls not in the block directory. I'll report back in two weeks. Thanks

Here's what must be added for it to be user friendly.
1) easily add an option to block by area code. Example : block all numbers beginning with 800,86, 877,888 or 18888,18777, 1800.
2) must have an option to backup the numbers you've blocked to sd card.
3) blocking calls means we don't hear phone ring at all if possible.
4) easily add blocked calls from the call directory. We should be 2 clicks away not 5 to accomplish this task.

1: add 1800*******, 1888*******, etc.
3: I don't hear my phone ring at all.
4: For how often numbers are added, I don't think this is a big deal. Took can add multiple numbers once you are in the profile you are adding them to.

A button to "Add Last Call To Block List" on the tool bar would be great.

We already provide wildcards. Backup to sd is coming in the next build. To intercept numbers from the dialer, we would have to build our own - thats not what this app is for. You should not be hearing any ring at all either...

reject call with a message problem

The stock Dialer has the 'reply with message' option hard-coded, so there is no way you can enable or disable it using the settings menu, believe me, I tried.
The only workaround I found to this particular issue was installing a third party dialer app, then I used Titanium Backup to freeze the stock phone app. Finally, I set the app I installed previously as the new default app.
There's plenty of dialer apps in PlayStore, but you'll have to find the one that best suits your needs and preferences.
If the solution above doesn't match your needs, try installing the Tiny Call Confirm App. That should help a lot too.
I hope this helps you.

Even i had the same issue. Sometimes the phone sends reject messages to callers.
I installed "Gravity Screen" and it tool care of everything.

Custom ROM issue (Resurrection Remix [OP3T][Jan 22]) with using phone function

I cant post this under the ROM thread cause im new... sorry for that.
Always when im trying to call a number i dont know if my phone is really calling. because when i tap to call a number i dont get visuell feedback. i only can hear the number dialing but cant see it. so i also cant hang up to cancel this
but thats not all. when someone calls me, I just can hear the ring tone, but i dont see anything to accept it. the display just stays as it was before --> after my mailbox got the call, i see a missed call.
someone else have this issue?

On the same ROM after an clean install, but I do not have those issue. I can call and I can receive calls.
Did you dirty flash it?

Which dialer are you using, and is it set as the default in Settings -> Apps -> Default apps?

Dismiss incoming calls without rejecting call

Hi, I'm running stock Android 10 on my Note 9. One of the most annoying "features" is that incoming calls take up the whole screen with no possible means of dismissing, or switching to another app while its ringing. Often I don't want to send it to VM so I don't want to reject nor answer the call. I silence the ringer, I want to let it ring but I don't want to stare at the screen for the entire time its ringing. I have the show in pop up window enabled, but that only works if I have another app open. If a call just comes in when I don't have another app open, it obnoxiously takes over the phone with no options to do anything other than pressing either the red or green call buttons. Is there a way to change this behavior or can I install another dialer app and make it my default? I'm seriously amazed this is how it was designed to work!

If you're not in another app, why does it bother you?
If you mean when the phone is idle with screen off and a call comes in then I don't see a point in not being fullscreen.

When it is updated to ui 2.1 there might be a setting to change call display while using other apps/mini popup

Whether you see the point or not doesn't really matter, if I'm asking, what I'd like to know is can it be done or not? I don't understand these non informative responses. Why do you bother taking the time to respond only to say you don't see the point why I'm asking?
However, if you must fully understand before giving a more useful answer, I use Google voice and I need to see which calls come from Google voice as a forward versus direct calls to my cell phone number. The only way to differentiate is seeing if hangout is also ringing or not. Occasionally hang out starts up first in which case it works like a charm. But every time the phone app rings first, it locks the screen and I cannot navigate to the Hangouts app or even pull down the notification to see if Hangouts is even ringing.
That's only one reason. The other is if I don't want to send the call to voicemail, and I want to let it ring, I don't necessarily feel like staring at my phone for 30 seconds if I want to do something else on it. I've had many phones and this is the only one that is acting this way. It's dumb.

as I have already stated, I already have that option checked off but it only works as you said while in other apps. I question specifically was for times when I am not in other apps.

Thank you, that was much more helpful! I'm not sure if it's due to the difference of S10 vs Note 9, but the swiping down diagonally from your left to lower right doesn't do anything for me. Anyways, I guess we have exhausted all options and using the edge is probably the best one for me. Thanks again!

Glad it works. If you'd like to try the swipe from corner to make the window small but you can't right now try to install Good Lock and use the module MultiStar. Inside this module there's an option called "Pop-up view action" which enables (or forces or re-enables xd) the functionality to swipe from the top corner diagonally in order to make the currently open app's window smaller.
If Good Lock does not work where you live then use either FineLock or NiceLock from the play store and install the module from here manually: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...amsung-multistar-3-2-28-android-apk-download/

Question Calls not showing up

Anyone having this problem. Last time my phone was locked on vibrate and I got a call. I unlocked the phone but there was no call window showing up. This is pretty serious functionality that has to work!

I had same issue.
Two solutions:
1) Change launcher to Poco
2) Install 3rd party Phone dialer - this what I did
Didn't like google phone app anyway, not good with finding contacts.

Nor me. One of the reasons I went EU was for the mi dialler and message apps. Also the call recorder, as its native on EU ROM.
