There are following option to block calls

- Reject

- Do not answer

- Kill

- Mute

- Delete

- Answer & Hold

- Skip Processing

Most of names are self explanatory. I am using "Reject" option (sorry, I have edited previous post)

Root call manager itself don't forward your call to VM, it's bit tricky

My carrier consider reject action is similar to 'busy', So I have set Call forwarding to VM for 'busy' condition.

PS : Here not necessary that your carrier also have 'reject' call blocking method consider it 'busy'. So for forwarding call to VM is tricky and may vary with carrier/Operator settings.
[Android Apps and Games] mrjoy:
But there is not for block or transfer to VM as shown in attachment. Can you correct me please?

Did you use with xposed? Because I'm on note 10+ with android 12 & xposed is not compatible to android 12 if I'm right?
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
I have N10+, N20 ultra and S21 ultra (all on my rom)

All are on A12 and no difference for this

I'd suggest to use Latest magisk stable (zygisk 24.1)

And use lsposed for zygisk instead of xposed

Simple xda search will help you
[Android Apps and Games] mrjoy:
Yes I have already installed lsposed for zygisk. Now what setting i have to change for root call sms manager?
[Android Apps and Games] mrjoy:
But shows modules suspended in magisk app. What it mean?
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Probablly this is gonna off topic here sorry @mdn80

You needs to read more, move to magisk thread. You are using wrong version of lsposed. riru or riru version of lsposed is for magisk, not zygisk
[Android Apps and Games] mrjoy:
Do i need to disable zigysk in magisk?
[Android Apps and Games] mrjoy:
Yes i have installed lsposed successfully, now can you please suggest me that I have to enable root call sms manager there & what to tick there?
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Phone services (com.android.phone)

It will appear once you uncheck system app from hide menu from three dot menu

Reboot

On successful activation root call manager -settings - about menu should show green color xposed text
[Android Apps and Games] mrjoy:
Already ticked phone services & rebooted but xposed text still shows in red.
[Android Apps and Games] mrjoy:
And my app is trial version.
[Android Apps and Games] mrjoy:
I have rebooted again now its shows in green. Let me check everything then i will post here. Thankfully
[Android Apps and Games] mrjoy:
I have tested & its working perfectly. Thank you sir
[Android Apps and Games] ReMiOS:
How can i start the manager app after it is hidden ?

settings menu - > "Hide Application"
[Android Apps and Games] ReMiOS:
Works

Thanks !

Why does Virustotal tag this as a "Trojan.banker" - a bit concerning...
[Android Apps and Games] scorpio76r:
I have never had any issues with this app. It could be a false pos. possibly
[Android Apps and Games] Droid4200:
I would really like to purchase, I can't use a lot of features as I cannot pay for it to use them all. Also is it possible to add a pick up / hang up feature to pick up and play a chosen audio file to the caller, before hanging up on them?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] scorpio76r:
I agree. I would like to be able to play a recording that says that all calls to my phone are being recorded before picking up the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
No it's not possible on Android.
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
Virustotal is wrong. The application uses permissions for calls and SMS, apparently a false positive because of this.
[Android Apps and Games] scorpio76r:
It's possible with the Youmail app in the play store. Just not possible for metro pcs users like myself.
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
There, calls are forwarded to their numbers, additional telephony services and equipment are used. In Android, you can't just play an audio file to the caller.
[Android Apps and Games] scorpio76r:
You have a point 👍
[Android Apps and Games] ponso:
maybe its me but i am missing settings menu?
[Android Apps and Games] ponso:
maybe its me but i am missing settings button if Start screen = Journal .
[Android Apps and Games] scorpio76r:
Download the non playstore version in the beginning of this thread
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
Clearly - you can try to ===> uninstall ===> reboot ===> reinstall ===> reboot and cross your fingers.
[Android Apps and Games] ponso:
I did use the non playstore version. Only way to get settings back is to delete data/cache. I've updated my post to reflect this happens if Start screen = Journal in settings.
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
Try to select Material theme in the app Settings-Appearance. You can go to settings from the app widget.
[Android Apps and Games] ponso:
Those suggestions worked. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] preetshardoc:
Hi

This is a wonderful app which should be used by all Android users. There is no other app like this.

I was wondering that is it possible to have an option here whereby on incoming caller screen another number is displayed instead of the caller as per the option selected in a given list.

Like say I activate a list with some numbers

Each time that number calls , instead of its number showing up in the caller screen some other number is displayed both in caller id screen and in call logs as per the rules of that list.

Call log management is easy...but for caller id it must be difficult.....

I was wondering...

thank you
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
The app has this feature. Add the number you want to replace to the "Private Conversation" list. You need mode via Xposeed.
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
Anyone know if there are instructions or a walk through for this app?
[Android Apps and Games] scorpio76r:
Have you checked the beginning of this thread? I have used this app since it was released and, am pretty knowledgeable. I'm sure that many other members are too.
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
I have it installed on A11 oxygen, with magisk root, and lsposed, and the modules activated and it does not block texts from "not in contacts", I am not using it for phone number blocking at the moment, because I am using Hush on a subscription until November.

Some say they had to uninstall, and reinstall to get it to work.

It has lots of settings that I am not up on. No wiki type page for the app?

I was looking more at the later posts, since the beginning of the thread is for A8.

OTOH, I am using micro G, but I would not think that would be a problem either?
[Android Apps and Games] scorpio76r:
The playstore version does not block texts. The one posted on this page does
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
Right, I am using the one that is posted on the first page of this thread, latest version too.
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
If you are on LSPosed - check this post.
[Android Apps and Games] westhaking:
See this post
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
Thanks for your help, I got it working, I did the uninstall and reinstall, and realized I had Hush set as my default call blocker, DOH! :oops:
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
Thanks for you help, I got it working.
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
Now that I had to make it the default call blocking app, it's not blocking phone calls. Not in contacts>Sim2>calls reject. I set it as the default phone app as well.
[Android Apps and Games] scorpio76r:
I have mine set to contacts only and it blocks all other calls
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
After adding a row for each number in blacklist, it seems to work now.

I will have to give it a run this week, and if all goes well, buy the full version from the Dev somehow, since I am not using Google Play.
[Android Apps and Games] scorpio76r:
Sounds great. I never needed the full version because I just needed protection from scam calls but, keep me informed if the paid version is a must have in your opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] stewie-droid:
Which option in setting sets it up to not ring at all but reject to voicemail. I tried 0 and 1 and with both it rings onces then rejects. There are more numbers 1-5 i believe.

Anyone knows if this is capable of rejecting without ringing?
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
You hear ring or caller hear ring? What phone and Android version at you?
[Android Apps and Games] stewie-droid:
I do hear one ring before it rejects. I tried reject options in settings 0 and 1 and both are still ringing once before it's rejected. I'm trying now 2 and there is 3 also. Problem also is that there is no manual or help which outlines what does settings numbers stand for? Anyone have a link to that?

It's Android Nougat 7.0, phone is LG v20 H918
[Android Apps and Games] solara1973:
If you set the Root Call Manager app as the default phone app, it will catch the calls faster and prevent ringing.
[Android Apps and Games] stewie-droid:
I'll give that a try, but it doesn't have a dialer so im not sure how that's going to work. Thank you for feedback.

I'm still wondering what 0 threw 3 rejection settings are. some simple webpage manual would be helpful.
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
You have root or Xposed on your phone?
[Android Apps and Games] netgar:
Does it work on pie 9.0?
[Android Apps and Games] netgar:
Anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
Yes.
[Android Apps and Games] netgar:
Ok, that's what I am looking for.....

App that will block incoming text messaging and calls. So user who actually sends me a text gets the message that his/her text was not delivered to me....or once someone calls me get a voice mail right away instead of rings, so they know that my cellphone out of commission.

This is how it works?
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
It depends on the program settings, the version of Android and the phone.

Write to mdnsoftware@gmail.com if you have any questions or problems with app.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hello mdn80, A few request/suggestions if I may,

-Applying rules to current SMS messages or Call history. i.e if I set to have sms's from a certain number to be deleted it would be nice to have the ability to apply the rule to current messages from that number.

-A help/Guide file would be appreciated in order to understand all the features of the app and how to operate it. It took me a few hours to figure everything out.

-And lastly, A better looking interface would be appreciated though it will not affect the usability of the app ;)

This is honestly the best sms/call blocker I have ever seen, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] mrhamed:
I have serious issue with this great app, when I installed v1.16 with root-mode and xposed is enabled.(on Oreo with magisk - OnePlus one) I have one black list, but my issue is: I can't receive sms from any sender, and they don't receive delivery report :( but I can send sms and call to other people. can you help me please?!
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
Check, what blocking of delivery reports is disabled in app settings. Write to mdnsoftware@gmail.com if you have any problems with app, I need logs.
[Android Apps and Games] mrhamed:
thank you for your fast reply, the "blocking of delivery reports" is disabled. I'll try to enable log and send you as soon as possible.

Hi,

this is very useful app but it doest work everytime on oneplus 6 lineage 16. Sometimes doesnt block... What is problem?

[Android Apps and Games] L.F.B.:
I have the playstore version what should I donwload?

Just rcsmm module?
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
I just like to support the Devs that make our phones better. I will let you know how it works, if I can buy it outside of the play store.
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
I notice this is not getting all of the spam texts that are not in my contacts. I could set it to the default messaging app, but there is no way to use that to send texts. Also in the Journal, what does the lock do? It it has no records?
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
You do not have to do this if you are using mode via Xposed. Check what Xposed label in Settings->About is green.
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
This is a tab for the Private Conversation list. Private conversation function should transfer all calls and SMS from

system journals to the program journal for numbers in Private conversation list. It hides communication with numbers from Private

Conversation list.
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
Hello developer. Is this app known to not be able to catch all of the texts that you don't want to see? It blocks some of them, but not all.
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
Yes, that setting is green.
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
No, this is not a typical problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
Okay, I will give it another week and send you the log if you like?
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
Ok.
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
How do I go about pulling the log file? I assume I need to be in debugging mode? Got an unwanted text today, but I forgot to put it in debugging mode.
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
Refer to this post.
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
Hi

I have a dual sim Oneplus 7T phone, it catches all of the unwanted texts from sim 2, but not sim 1. Is this a limitation of the free version? I mean, my settings have to be right as long as it's catching Sim 2, with "block sim all" selected. I am going to send over the logs now.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
@mdn80 Any way to block group messages or at least forward group messages to a 'bogus number'?
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
What is 'group messages'?
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
A group message involves three or more recipients. The most interesting thing about group messages is that you do not need to invest in a software to send group messages. Most mobile devices offer this functionality. There is, however, a limit on the number of recipients.

The maximum number of recipients depends largely on your mobile device and carrier. Some older phones only offer up to 10 recipients but some models may allow you to choose up to 30 recipients.

Group messages are typically sent as an MMS and must be enabled from the settings. The process is fairly simple, though. Go to your contacts and create a group of recipients. You can have several groups and name them accordingly.

While group messages are an easy way to send a text message, the limit on the number of recipients can be a problem. Plus, since they’re sent as MMS, not all phones may support group messages.

Group messages are not counted as a single message, i.e: if you have 10 recipients you will be charged for 10 messages. Similarly, the phone may or may not open 10 different threads, which may also make it a bit difficult to manage all the conversations.

N.B.: It is typically a pain for folks who inadvertently included and cannot escape the nonsense that follows.
[Android Apps and Games] Anik Sarker:
Hello there, phone must be rooted to use/install this app?
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
No.

Tested on Android 13 (Samsung S22 ultra) and seems working fine with lsposed

Great app, Keep it up!

@mdn80

In light of the upcoming mid-terms elections and future elections, I've compiled a somewhat comprehensive list of 'spammy' words to help avoid the many nuisances of unsolicited political content from bleeding through the system.

Is there a method to import the words in bulk or am I at the mercy of typing or copy/paste each word into the filtering option?

Spoiler content hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] westhaking:
You should be able to create a template. Add a few of the desired words. Export the data. Find that file on your device and edit it by adding any other words making sure to follow the same formatting. Save that file. Import.
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
Either I need more caffeine in my system or my attempt at creating a template is a total failure.

After exporting the data file to view the contents, I cannot determine which protocol to follow after each word, e.g., small caps, large caps, semi-colons, commas, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] tmd2:
HELP. I have been trying to figure out the root process and install the required framework. Would someone be able to provide simple, useful instructions? I really need to block SMS messages. My phone is not rooted. I would like to root it. I have a Samsung Galaxy S9+, One UI 2.5 version, Android 10 version, Model # SM-G965U.
[Android Apps and Games] scorpio76r:
If your phone is not rooted, you need to look around in here for root guides for your device. Unless you have a Oneplus 6T or 8,phone like me... I can't help you out with root.
[Android Apps and Games] tmd2:
No it is not rooted. I would like to root it. I have a Samsung Galaxy S9+, One UI 2.5 version, Android 10 version, Model # SM-G965U
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
So you apply the words to the filter I take it?
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
I could not determine which protocol to follow after each word, e.g., small caps, large caps, semi-colons, commas, etc. after pulling the data file.

My assumption is that the data file does not discriminate in terms of which format is being utilize - I just don't have a way to field test as to which system of rules governing this method is viable.
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
I was not going to use the data file, just punching in my own keywords. Different spam for different people.
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
Could you elaborate on your method?

-- Maybe provide a series of screenies?
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
Control>My Blacklist>Row, tick the filter box, open the grey box with ... and add your keywords
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
Filter format is a "word1;word2;...".
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
Does upper or lower case matter?
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
It seems that after six different attempts of ticking the filter box, opening the grey box, following your format, inputting data and exporting the file to no avail.
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
Using the SMS filter:
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
That is exactly how I followed the instructions to no avail.

-- After exporting the data file, any and all changes are not present.
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
Try to test the number(address) and text of SMS in the current list(long click at list show this menu).

You can make logs in case of problems with the application.
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Nut:
So MDN saved the day, he looked at my logs, and told me how to correct the problems, this is a great app, with nothing out there like it.
[Android Apps and Games] galaxys:
^agree very good app! 📱 kudos 😎
[Android Apps and Games] JCDentonMale:
Hello,

I cannot manage to block unwanted spam SMS. They appear in the journal so they definitely are detected by RCSM.

But whatever I try (block, mute, delete, skip processing...), the SMS still gets delivered to my SMS application (Silence app).

Phone is OnePlus 9 Pro, rooted with Magisk, with the latest Android 11 available.

All permissions have been granted when requested. I verified that root is detected by RCSM in the settings.

I just add a row to the blacklist, write the number to block, check the SMS option, choose whatever action is available, then save.

Thanks for any help!

I just enabled debugging in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
You might not be able to successfully block those type of SMS if you are not utilizing the built-in SMS app.
[Android Apps and Games] JCDentonMale:
I do not, I use the Silence app. I installed it myself. It's a fork of Signal that can encrypt SMS.
[Android Apps and Games] JCDentonMale:
So it is only supposed to work with the Google Messages app? This is the default one on Oxygen OS
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
You will need to test and confirm if the built-in SMS app does the job of blocking versus any 3rd party SMS app that you are currently running.

It really wouldn't matter whether it's Google Messages or any other default messaging app that came with OOS.
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
Under the block rule

-- Tick SMS and select Block
[Android Apps and Games] JCDentonMale:
Tried all of the options including Block. It doesn't work.

I'll try using the OOS default messaging app
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
Reset the entire app

-- Clear cache and clear data/storage

-- Setup according to your preferences

-- Be certain that you are allowing all permissions for RCSM

-- Processing Mode: 1

-- Reject Mode: 1

-- Tick Kill Reject mode

-- Notification Access > Modify System Settings > Disable battery optimization > Unrestricted Data Access

Spoiler content hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] JCDentonMale:
With the OS default app (Messages from Google), and only if I choose Block in the rules of RCMS, I still get a notification of new message. However the SMS does not appear in the Messages app list of messages. So it's half working.

Is there a way to not even get a notification from the SMS app?
[Android Apps and Games] JCDentonMale:
I don't see any Reject Mode or Kill Reject Mode setting in the Settings screen
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
You'll find it under 'System Settings'.
[Android Apps and Games] mdn80:
You need to use mode via Xposed(Xposed(LSPosed) must be installed on your phone), read the last pages in this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] JCDentonMale:
Not on my app (latest version)
[Android Apps and Games] rodken:
I missed the part where you stated which version of RCSM you are running.
[Android Apps and Games] JCDentonMale:
I installed the Riru Magisk module, then the LSPosed (riru) Magisk module. I enabled the RCSM module in LSPosed. In the RCSM module, I enabled it for the phone services. In RCSM, I checked the XPosed setting. Now waiting for a spam SMS...

Hello!

I would like to have your help!!

Recently, I updated my Galaxy Note 3 to Marshmallow. (I know I am very behind..)

I am running Samsung Note 7 port rom. (Of course, it is rooted)

I noticed that my new rom doesn't have phrase blocking of SMS.

I think "filter" in CallSMSManager does the same thing, right?

So, I first installed CallSMSManager1.23 and asked a friend to send me an SMS with the filtered word. It was delivered to my inbox. (I tested a lot but no success)

Then, I installed Xposed framework and Xposed installer. Now I see "Root Call SMS Manager" is activated in Xposed installer.

I tested but SMS with the filtered word is still delivered in my inbox.

I noticed that I have nothing in "Journal", noting in Calls, nothing in SMS!! Is this normal?

By the way, I use stock mail app (Messages) in the rom from Samsung.

Maybe, Marshmallow is too old...

I have debloated my rom. Maybe, Call SMS Manager needs some system app? Which one? (It's easy to put it back.)

By the features offered, I think this is the best application of this type. So, I would like it working. Can you help?

PS: Call SMS Manager has root access, and has permissions (Contacts, Phone, SMS and Storage)
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Check this

Xposed label in Settings - about

It should be green colored else issue is with xposed.
[Android Apps and Games] 3to4:
Thank you. I checked in Settings - About, and Xposed is in green.

Also, in Xposed installer, Status is green. So, I suppose mine is not an issue of Xposed, right? Maybe, you have more things I can check?
