[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
GPL isn't the only Open Source License. That's all it is. It does not define open source. Open Source existed before the GPL, anyways (Public Domain, etc.).

I'm not sure what the hell you're trying to say. No, BSD Licensing is not GPL. If it was, it wouldn't exist, and the license on the code would simply be GPL.

Apple would never use GPL source to build their OS because GPL is viral. It would make them license their entire OS (or a majority of it) under the GPL.

What you're inferring is that OSes like FreeBSD, etc. aren't open source, which is ridiculous at best...
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Correcting misstatements aren't turning to licenses. I can care less what the license is, as long as the product works well.

But I have no clue where these "if it ain't GPL, it ain't open source" kiddies come from...
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
I misunderstood your statement, I thought you were referring to BSD as GPL licensed.

I've searched on Goolge, XDA and many other android forums but fail to find a proper Answering Machine app for Android. By Answering Machine I mean the app that acts like a voicemail residing on the phone - I can see many so called Answering Machine apps which auto-respond to calls via predefined SMS <- this is NOT what I'm looking for.

Thanks for your help in advance.

i don't think there is one mate..... the old symbian Nokias did...

that was because they were able to send sound directly to the caller ... i dunno if its a hardware limitation ... i really hope someone can figure that out...

i remember used to be able to play songs straight to my conversation so they can feel the base and treble more clearly...i miss that function...also the app with background noises to fake ur surrounding.....

:( i wonder if N8 can do this...?

Answering machine app? Isn't it just the voicemail itself with pre-recorded greeting message?

Or visual voicemail like someone mentioned before.

Edit: I see you need an offline service. The ones I know all all either bound by carrier or need internet.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Highfly2:
Calling developers

When I had a symbian phone, things were so easy. I used IVCM (interactive voice call master) to handle incoming calls.

This app is near to perfection, it can distinguish callers (in address book, in some whitelist, in a blacklist, unknown callers and, last but not least, private numbers)

For any of those you can define a suitable treatment, invoke the answering machine after xx seconds, play a notification then hang up, forward the call to another number, play the busy tone, and more options.

Furthermore you can schedule the behaviour, so the phone switches to answering machine at once during the night, let only friends reach you in the evening etc...

Outgoing messages can be personalised by address group, country (=different language!), friends, private number callers etc..

It can also record a call (incoming, outgoing or both) without beeps.

This is a call to the Android developer community. Please build us an app with a similar usability, picking things up where IVCM stopped.

I will be your first customer and prepared to pay well for it!

yep, I had the same kind of soft on my symbian, it was called Advanced Call Manager (ACM). The same soft exists for Android, so I tried it, but no answering machine on the Android version. I asked the developer team, and they told me it's not possible on Android.

this is confirmed by several posts

Hi there

I was looking for the same, and found a old solution.

The Name is airvoice, but works only on rootet Phone and only on the old Android Hero mobile.

I asked the developer to continue his great work. He seems to be dissapointet, that so many people votet his app so bad in the market.

So if you guys also try to contact the developer (through the contact inf's on the Market) maybe he will continue?

Greetings to you all!

back to symbian

same here..!!

i used BEST ANSWERING MACHINE on symbians, for answering my calls during my work time, and i used to listen and respond accordingly to the recorded calls. i seriously think symbians was the smartphone,

androids not.

i dont want ease of facebook on the go, i want ease of phone on the go. i want SMARTphone, not the handy pc for accessing rich websites on the go.

i ended up buying a second hand nokia e72 for managing my life while mm on work,

i have android ASUS ZENFONE 4.5

and Apple 5s but nowhere i found reliable answering machine,

the solution i found is going back to symbians to manage my calls.

2 things that i found with this, the caller could here the greeting, but the greeting is played out loud in the phone,( so cant be used in meetings) and it failed to record the message( i did not tinker with the settings, so cant really say that the app is non-functional). BUT this does look like someone is trying, so kudos to the developer.

I use a galaxy s3 with installer version of cyanogen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaXi32:
Im looking for this too. I had the app call Autopilot answering machine on my n82 (maybe now it has been abandoned). Just let me explain the feature of this app because it cannot be compared to 100% to Google Voice:

1) You can record your own voice as the answering machine to block call and play your own voice when someone call you. Example "Hello dude I'm not available right now please leave a message". Of course I was able to set only specific contact with that voice.

2) the app able to auto record voice too.

3) perhaps this is hardware limitation because the app can mute your mic when answering machine is executed (so that the receiver only can hear your answering machine voice).

I was looking for this app for a long time. I dont think it exist. Maybe not possible.

Forward incoming calls app is the solution to me

Hello, I've been looking for that too.

I think that an alternative may be to divert the call to a mailbox a voip service or conventional telephone answering service.

This will cost and will require an extra line (or the use of electronics own line desk), but it is what I mean when possible.

For this I will use a call forward app with rules, as QuickCallForward or other, with more filtering rules. Some app with whitelist, blacklist, unknown, scheduler for use in specific times and days.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aston Lopes:
Almost There!

Hello,

I'm working on creating an app which will work as an offline voicemail.I believe there's no need of root.I'm focusing for it to work on Oreo 8.1 (sdk27).If it works on Oreo then it may easily work on 5.0+ devices.

Do you'll mind installing 2 more apps as plugins? (as of now I'm not integrating them into mine.But later if possible I may create a single standalone app.)

Sadly due to my exams I may not continue my work for a month. :(

The app's work is almost completed just minor debugging is left.Should be completed in 2-5days.

I will resume my work from 13th June2018.

Cheers:good:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emandt:
It depends about what you mean with "offline voicemail".

Recording a voicecall is always possible (until now) and there are already plenty of App doing that.

Auto-answer a voicecall, recording it and then show all recorded files is not exactly what I call "voicemail" because the caller could not understand what to do when the voicecall is established without any voice instruction.

I would like to play my custom voice message to the caller saying "hello, I'm currently busy but you can leave me a message after the BEEP". In this way the caller is informed about what to do.

The main problem is that each manufacturer sets Android Audio Policy in a different way.

For example my App is currently working on my testing Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and Note 5 (Nougat 7.x) but it's not working on my new Sony Xperia ZX Premium (Oreo 8.0).

Sony seems to have excluded via hardware/software to play the voice message to the caller while there is an active voice call. This is the main problem: each manufacturer can change it's mind/configuration (in the future) and makes the App stop working more.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aston Lopes:
I referred your project of LVoicemail just now.Its great:good:.But are you able to stream audio through call? Because as far as I remember... access to audio input was disabled long ago.

I was able to play the message over loudspeaker and my microphone was able to catch it.IDK how to stream it internally.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SidRose01:
When Android took over, I still used to carry my symbian phone because of the availability of an answering machine app on it. In my case, I was reliable on an app called Voice_Inbox_v2.50.sis. It did the job well by picking up the phone & then playing a recording of me whilst muting the background voice. It also recorded the voicemail after the beep.

When Symbian Anne Belle was released, the app was no longer able to mute the background; so callers would hear the recording as well as whatever was happening in background in real time.

Okay. So I pushed Axura final onto my phones internal sd card and booted into recovery mode. The damned Axura copy ( it downloaded properly via google chrome, no errors) had some issue with it and DID NOT install properly. I tried again and again to make it work, did not load flash from voodoo eclair 2.1 to axura which is 2.2.

Now I want to use ODIN and come back.

I get into download mode BEAUTIFULLY using youtubes """Samsung Vibrant download mode; Corntez" .

and then load Odin, load pit file, and the tar/jar file. detected as COM 6 Odin says "added" . then run it. RUNS perfectly. firmware update start; cache.rfs;modem.bin;factoryfs.rfs; and all, and the blue bar finished completely.

Then restarts, "VIBRANT" says "data wiping failed " , everything else succeeds...lots of small writing....restart' VIBRANT" ; then Samsung Galaxy S shiny logo.

Now.....the plot thickens and my vibrant does not move forward. Black, black screen.

If I touch the bottom touch keys---viz, home etc...they light up fine. But the screen. the beautiful screen, remains as dark as Lord Voldemorts heart.

What to do??:confused:

2. go to download mode, flash the pit and tar file from the froyo that doesn't brick (DON'T RE-PARTITION!)

3. it will boot into recovery and error out, DONT PANIC, that is what is supposed to happen

4. remove battery (from phone) and usb from phone and computer

5. put battery back in, access odin and download mode

6. flash the pit and tar file from the true 2.1 stock (RE-PARTITION THIS TIME!)

7. if done successfully, your phone software will like when you just took it out of the box!"""

Your opinions on this???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
My opinion on this is not to worry unless it doesn't work. But since you know how to use Odin and your phone can get into download mode okay, it should work.

With the insurance there is a hefty copay. But you should be fine.

Touchwiz is Samsung's version of Android kinda like Motorola's Motoblur and HTC's Sense or Expresso. It includes Samsung's apps, widgets,the dialer and all the icons just to name some.

Alot of people don't like Touchwiz because they think it bogs down the phone or they don't like the look of it. Personally I like certain elements of it.

They are many roms out there but for me I go back and forth between Axura and Mancut. Currently I am on Mancut 13 because it suits me perfectly based on the look, speed, included apps and over all stability.

Axura kinda offers the same thing but his roms are more themed, either way you can't go wrong with either of them.
