I went back to Extreme Call Blocker. Sorry, but it works perfectly for me, and the menus are more intuitive, and the services easier to set up.

Hope this takes off for you though. Thanks for the chance to help test.

Thanks... its surprising how little people actually help us, even though we do our best to improve things for people.

Greetings all,

I am currently running build 1.016.04_COM_GEN1, and the OTA upgrade to 1.139.04 is failing- exclamation in triangle after reboot. It does successfully return to Honeycomb afterwards. So I did some reading (thank you all for so much useful info in various threads) and found that I had stuffed it up by deleting HeroOfSparta.apk after rooting it (I guess I should have read the post about deleting things a bit better), without taking a backup.

After finding the log file /cache/recovery/last_log, it tells me:

So I'm putting in a request for this file please- either by itself or as part of an image, if there is one. I did a pretty thorough look through the posts and couldn't find any links to a backup of this image or file. If it helps, all of the other files in the /system/app directory have a date of 18 Mar 11.

And with it I'd like to salute all of you who are gradually helping me make this the most awesomely indispensable tool I've ever had!

I dont think that it will be against rules :eek: as I will not be hosting files here and these are meant to be used as "RECOVERY ONLY" information...

Anyway, as stated, when I get home from work I will begin the upload and post the link once it has completed. jejeje

If anyone believes this is AGAINST FORUM RULES please let me know before this so that I dont get myself in trouble... :(

Music2.apk

Hey guys -

First off, thanks so much for the dump. Successfully put back MusicA.apk, but Music2.apk won't install...i moved to system/app, and changed permissions to rw-r-r....any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
Doesn't it need execute permissions? Not sure how Android is as opposed to Linux, but rwxr-xr-x would make more sense if you intend to run it?

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://xdaforums.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...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] METDeath:
I know for the stock images, they added a call blocking feature to the software.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Its nowhere near as powerful as our app...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bisco3214:
I think I might give this a try later on.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
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.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] necosino:
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!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Thanks for the high praise! Are there any features you would like to see?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hairydawg75:
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?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
For now you will have to add manually. The RC next week will use a backup system as well.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hairydawg75:
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.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rajuabju:
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.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dsb9938:
What happens to blocked calls? Do they go to VM? Pickup/hangup?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bisco3214:
I'm liking this so far, seems like the best option out there.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] itsDollar:
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.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] AndroidGraphix:
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
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] AndroidGraphix:
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.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] necosino:
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.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dave8311:
I've been using it for the last 2 weeks, and it's the best one I have tried so far.

A button to "Add Last Call To Block List" on the tool bar would be great.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
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...

Thanks, i will add this to the to do list!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] herbiehusker2608:
works great!!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Awesome... could you be more specific though? SMS also blocked? Reject methods working as they should?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] AndroidGraphix:
If this is your idea of user friendly wild card, you've been on linux too long. Why not simplify it and have a place to enter area codes separated by commas?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Did you have trouble working it out? Dont forget the help file, its quite extensive.

In any case, your commas are no better. Atm this app is for pro rastas and so serves the good stuff up in the generally accepted fashion. Go figure.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hairydawg75:
Everything has been working well for me. One minor thing I noticed was when I was playing a game of angry birds and a call came in that was blocked it kicked me out of the game. Not a big deal though, as otherwise the app has been working exactly as it should.

Any idea on when the backup feature is coming? Thinking of making the switch to a GB rom and really don't want to enter all these blacklist numbers again.

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Yep, it might do that if superuser is not in active memory - cant be avoided im afraid!

We are trying for a feature update on thursday!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hairydawg75:
Looking forward to it!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Looks like we wont make it this week - Balanced is giving us major headaches atm...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
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.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] thejondude:
im downloading it now :) i did notice from the screen shot some1 posted above... it says "enter here number to add to list" might wana change it to ,enter number here to add to list. or you could say blocked list. also maybe give an example of what a wild card is for some that dont know. I re attached the screen shot
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] taurus92:
Downloading and giving it a try.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Ive already changed the text, thanks for the tip by the way.

Now, we need someone to test the sms blocking in the latest build!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hairydawg75:
I don't normally use the sms block but I'll try and test it when I get the chance.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Thanks. Send logs using "Send debug data" in the apps settings.

DONT FORGET TO DESCRIBE YOUR ERROR IN THE LOG!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] AndroidGraphix:
I second this. The help page does give examples but I took a guess on area codes. Fyi. *800* This should made much easier since most of us are blocking area codes such as ; 800,866, 877,888...

I would like to say thanks. Your application is proving to be better than Exteme Call Blocker. For the Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Handshake87:
Be careful with the SMS Blocking!@!!

I tested this actually about 1 week ago. I would be able to receive text messages and so forth just fine. Randomly after about 24 hours no texts would come in!! All incoming texts would not come in yet I could still send. These incoming texts I never received were not "blocked"

Only way to even make it so my texts would come back was to completely wipe the phone. All texts that were "blocked" in that 3 hours I realized I wasn't getting anything were completely lost. So if I just was texted the answer of life (instead of 42) we will never know!!

After a wipe I put this back on and the same thing happened!! After wiping for the 3rd time and NOT installing Root Call Blocker I have yet to experience the same issue. I was using Bamf Remix 1.63 and was using the stock messenger. If you could fix this I would more then likely go back!!

Hope this helps and thanks again!!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] QUIK_LS1:
I wanna test this app out. I'm rooted and rockin the ThunderBolt. Does the link in the OP download the latest app version? (Thanks to the dev for the opportunity to test this out)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
The link is to the android market. If you have trouble blocking sms, edit the contact and add and international code, ie +XXX.

And dont listen to that noob, hes a noob.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Kid_Cudi:
Anyway in the next update you can differentiate between private calls and unknown calls? Some private calls from my doctor I'd like to come through, but I'd like to block spam, unknown calls. Possible?

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] AndroidGraphix:
+1 for me. Btw. Your application is the only one that appears to work right with the Thunderbolt.

**I have donated to your application.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ncdub:
+1. Same problem here. I just wiped cache and dalvik cache and they all came thru.

BOLTED...... from my damn hand.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hairydawg75:
Any ETA on the blacklist backup to SD?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
You only need 1 star - for example 1800*. In standard wildcard definition, a star stands for any number of digits.

Yep, its coming in the next few days, along with some improvements to hidden mode and tweaks to the reject methods.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] necosino:
I noticed that I can't call out to #s on the blacklist. So if I am blocking all 800 #s, I can't call out to an 800# either.

Perhaps you could create a home screen widget to temporarily turn off the call blocker, or to allow the next outgoing call or something?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] AndroidGraphix:
+1 for me. I'm happy to report after two weeks this call blocking program has worked flawlessly.

EDIT. I used the following wild card : *800*

It's still working but you suggest only one for example : 866*

EDIT. I think I understand. Entering *800* might be better because the caller ID may not always display a 1 then the area code. With this wild card setup it will catch the caller either way. I really like this concept. It wasn't easy to understand at first but it's a excellent feature to have.

Also, just to confirm, I can add multiple numbers per profile. For example : 866*, 877*, 888*, 800*
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Theres something wrong with your installation. The app does no hook into outgoing call interface at all!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Handshake87:
UHH PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS LOGIC? How am I a noob while I have been able to recreate this issue continuously not only on Gingerbread ROMS but even on Froyo ROMS. On top of that someone else has confirmed this same issue. I have been using Android since G1 release and had well over 8 phones running Android over the years. I don't have the developement knowledge but I bet what I develop in you would be concidered a "noob" so yes in development I am in troubleshooting and this program actually have a issue, no I am not.

I attempted to do the cache clearing but actually all "missing" text never came through but new texts did come through and lasted about 26 hours until issue started happening again.

I am glad to see a developer who instead of seeing a problem and trying to find out more completely says forget the "noob" and thinks he knows the program will have no issues. If you are so confident then why request for testers??
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Theres something wrong with what youre doing. We test this app among over 1000 people and the vast majority of these problems are created by users themselves. If youre so trying to help, start bu sending debug data from the apps settings.

Not using send debug data is a certain sign of noob.

That will certainly tell me more. But the fact that youre constantly flashing roms does not make you an average user and by default many devs ignore cases like yours.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hairydawg75:
Good news, thanks.

Also wanted to ask....is it not possible to block a number while you are on a call? I thought that maybe since this was a root-required app that there might be a way to solve that problem.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Its possible, but as you know android is very unstable.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] johndiblasi:
That's funny

Sent from one of the five devices I'm tinkering with.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Yes, i love how people want everything dumbed down. Amazing that you would have the wherewithal to achieve root but not to work out how to use wildcards from very simple, concise instructions. My 12 year old cottoned on in 10 seconds.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ncdub:
I have to say that I have tried the app again and with the same problem again. I had to uninstall, wipe cache and dalvik and all my old texts came thru. I was using the "block & save" option. If this were to get fixed then this would be a flawless app but I can't afford to miss texts from people that I don't have blocked.

BOLTED...... from my damn hand.

Please, ;eave a comment on the market to that effect! We like nice comments after working hard :)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Kid_Cudi:
It's not an error. You can block unrecognized which encompasses private and unknown numbers.

What I'm asking for is the ability to discern between the two. My doctors call private, which I want to allow. Telemarketers call unknown, which I want to block. You can't presently allow one without also allowing the other.

Log Sent Re: Military Time

I sent a log to you a couple days ago regarding the "Schedule block" I had setup. The latest update hasn't fixed it. I'm working around it which isn't a huge problem but here's what I was trying to do.

Block Time Start: 1800 Hrs

Block Time End: 0900 Hrs

I don't want to receive calls after 1800 until 0900 hrs the next morning. Here's what I've done to correct it, which AGAIN, isn't a big problem but just wanted to let you know.

Block Time Start: 1800 Hrs

Block Time End: 2359 Hrs

Schedule 2

Block Time Start: 0000 Hrs

Block Time End: 0900 Hrs.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
I see. So its not really a problem on our end. What sort of solution do you propose? That be automatically remove a minute from each schedule?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] AndroidGraphix:
I guess the problem is on my end because most people don't require the blocking periods I've stated.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jimmydene84:
Had it for a few days now, working pretty great. I like how it gives u a notification when a call is blocked so u know when thay called. The only issue i had was when i was on a phone call, one of the numbers i had blocked, came through. Not really an issue and dont know if it can be fixed....just lettin u know. but overall i am VERY happy with this app so far! keep up the great work :)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] AndroidGraphix:
With the latest update, are we still able to block private callers? I prefer to block both private callers and unknown numbers.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
I dont know... are you? I am.

Any feedback on the latest version of the app? We are just about to release an update...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] AndroidGraphix:
I wasn't sure with the last update if you had made the request of a user that wanted only unknown callers blocked and not private callers. Your program had been working flawlessly. Is it possible to select blocked callers directly from the dialer ? That might

Be a nice addition.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Has voicemail and google voice been fixed?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] BBalz:
I tried this...it worked ok.

I uninstalled it and now my PHONE button doesn't work. I press it and it comes up with the word 'PHONE' in a balloon window right above it and my dialer doesn't open.

Rebooted the phone 3 times and same problem. :/

heh... appears it uninstalled my Dialer app. Awesome... hoping I dont have to reflash Gingeritis all over again.

EDIT: Lame, had to reflash the entire ROM and go back through reinstalling. I guess that teaches me for installing anything labeled BETA without backing up... even if it's just an app. Oh well, could be worst.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Im sorry mate but your little story is absurd. You are blaming rcb for uninstalling your dialer?
