I've used slimkat's Blacklisting feature and I like how it's built into the rom. I would love to see something like that added as a module to xposed framework. I have been unable to find any other "root" call blockers except for Root call blocker pro. The only thing I think is missing though from most of the call blocking apps is the reverse lookup feature to determine whether an unknown number is in fact a spam caller.
any other alternatives?
Slimkat's blacklist works great

I don't want change my ROM, Any app can support it besides SlimKat?
If I had known this prior to going to KK, I wouldn't have gone. Google changed things for messaging in KK. Basically, there is a default messaging setting now (it's under settings -> Wireless and networks -> More -> Default messaging app). And from what I've read, there is currently no way to stop the default messaging app from getting a notification, hence the reason you can't use a 3rd party app like Blocker. I like having the ability to blacklist in the ROM, but when I did that and tried to undo it for a contact, that contact remained blocked for SMS. I had to go into blocked messages and restore their messages in order to read them, especially if it was an MMS. What a pain in the derriere. Even if you turn off notifications in the SMS app, the SMS / MMS will still be delivered to the SMS app. Before it wouldn't get delivered there. You can read more about it here http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/12/06/non-default-sms-apps-in-kitkat-can-still-write-to-the-sms-database-using-a-switch-in-app-ops-no-root-required/ if you want. BTW, if you do what it says to do in that article, you will lose the ability for the SMS app you are modifying to send or receive messages, even if all you do is turn off the receive. I personally prefer something like Blocker because I can create "blocking profiles". I set up different profiles with different blacklists. If I'm at work late at night I can turn on my night work profile and some people will get an automatic response while others will get blocked all together. If I'm out on the motorcycle I can turn on the "riding" one and people will get an automated response saying that I'm out riding and that they will have to talk to me later (useful for family members that are overprotective and have to know you are alive). The blocking list in the ROM is one list and only one list. You have to remove and add numbers as you need to, probably why 3rd party apps were created where you can use profiles, duh Google. Google fail on this one IMO. I'm going to give this root call blocker pro because I'm willing to try anything at this point. Oh how I wish I could go back to MJ4.
How bout changing MMS.apk (or whatever app you want blocked) permissions? If you remove its permissions it shouldnt be able to send or receive messages. You can do it in AppOps, or with a root explorer.

Starting in 4.4, android handles sms differently. It's a priority thing. Previous versions allowed an app to have a higher sms receive priority, then do something with the message, such as display it, filter it, or stop it from filtering down to sms apps with lower priorities. That's how blockers did their job.
Starting in 4.4 and going forward, the sms app selected as the default is automatically given the highest priority, so blockers can't receive it first, meaning they no longer work.
There is no way to make it work the old way other than going to a previous version of Android or using a custom rom with this built in. (maybe an app with root permission could do it but I haven't checked).
The only work around is to download an sms app that has a block feature built into it

thank you, but I believe none of these free have filter by word in spam/block settings.
Can you check if Vegas has this? I'm willing to pay for this feature, I receive lots of spam from random numbers and blocking via sender's number wouldn't be very effective.

I just emailed your question to the developer and he said it's not possible as of 4.4. I don't know enough about it to say how right he is so take it with a grain of salt

I faced the same issue. Most SMS get delivered to the SMS App and they Land in Blocker as well.
All has been discussed ....why ... Below.
However, I Started using GO SMS PRO from Google Play (free)
And I am Happy ever since.. NO SPAM !!
It has an OPTION in Settings...
a) Block Particular Numbers/ Contacts
b) Block Non Address Book ( All Unknown Messages )
These Messages Land in a Separate Folder which you can Name as Spam ( Even Submit them for Spam / Abuse)
I tried This After Trying My Most Faithful CALL BLOCKER ...even That failed on My Moto-X Tho it works amazingly Good on ICS/Jellybean But Not on KitKat...
So Try GO SMS PRO and Enable Blocking.
Some people might not like using a Third Party App for Messaging..But then ~

Hi,
I really dislike some security apps forcing all kinds of things(virus scanner) into an application which I only want to use to remotely control my phone. So I wrote aeGis.
aeGis allows most of the functionality you'll see with Lookout or Cerebrus, but handles it locally on your phone via SMS with no data connection being required to complete any of the actions.
If your phone ever goes missing or is stolen, simply text the passphrase you chose to your device to activate any of the four options. aeGis will alert you if the action has been successfully completed.
Features:
- Ability to remotely lock your device via SMS
- Ability to remotely enable sound on your device via SMS
- Ability to remotely locate your device via SMS
- Ability to remotely wipe your device via SMS
- Ability to lock application with a password
- Ability to launch application from Dialer(so you can hide it from your app tray)
- Ability to backup call logs/sms logs to either Google Drive or Dropbox
- Ability to silently trigger actions
Support
Supports android device > API 14(Ice Cream Sandwhich)

Gmail SMS appending issue . I'm locked out . I set a number as pin in aeGis, but this is asking for a word. I did try default password "aeGis" but it isn't working either. pull the xml file and password "1234" just what I set. but this isn't working.

So looking at your issue a bit further. Gmail SMS appends: " - [email protected]"
So your password would be: "passcode - [email protected]"
Anyways, I fixed the issue in v1.2.3 with this commit: https://github.com/Decad3nce/Aegis/commit/c116d3e0b2975d37ad0b3dabe0e79c2cb7edd7ec
Code:
password = password.replaceAll("([^[email protected]\\s]+)(\\.[^[email protected]\\s]+)*@([^[email protected]\\s]+\\.)+([^[email protected]\\s]+)", "")
.replaceAll("-+","")
.trim();
Good regex saves lives.

Thanks. I give it a try today.:fingers-crossed:If it had been a pin, the keyboard could have been dial pad. Had to wipe for the 3rd time. :silly:
so In this case it should be "[email protected]". And youremail should be replaced with my email add. Well it is isn't working either. I'm using ver. 1.2.3.
So anyother wipe ?
Any way to add the option to disable persistent notification?

Is there any reason other than lack of using backward compatible API options that this doesn't work on pre ICS devices?
Despite what you may think, there are a lot of not so old devices that do not have working/reliable ICS, such as the G2X. Limiting an app to ICS at this stage is rather..... annoying.

I'm not sure that I thought anything; but, ok.
I was planning on adding backwards compat, but I wanted to keep the same theme. I'm still learning as I go, I'm sorry you find that annoying.

Understandable.... from what I've been playing around with in Eclipse, you can specify a different theme for older API levels. Might be something to look at if the theme is the only limitation

I would like to know this as well. And how do you change the alarm notification sound? It seems to be linked to my same email notification sound. I would like to control just the alarm sound through the app, not have it affect other notifications if that makes any sense.

The alarm is meant more of a way to override your sound settings to take the device out of silent mode.
The email sound you explain is just the sound by the messaging app most likely which is your default notification sound.

Is there any way to turn off or disable all WiFi network notifications? I'm constantly clearing things about available open networks, and also when I connect to WiFi.
The only option I found is in the WiFi settings as "Notify Me - Tell me if Wi-Fi is available when I open an app", which I've turned off.

Which version do you have? On the Verizon version unchecking wifi notifications in settings doesn't get rid of the notification. It only gets rid of an extra irritating popup every time you open an app.
The only way I've found to get rid of the notification is to leave wifi turned off. Not sure if that's what Verizon intended to encourage me to do, but since I'm on unlimited data I'm guessing probably not. I won't feel too bad about staying off of wifi and eating up their data until they fix it though. There's no excuse for cluttering up the notification area with constant notifications about nothing, with no way to disable them.
edit - Oh I see. You have AT&T and they're more sensible about it than Verizon.
So, no answer to this on the Verizon phone?? I am hoping a custom ROM will fix this annoying issue. Yes, Verizon, I know I am connected to my wireless network. That thing drives me crazy!! As noted above I have also been leaving my wifi off and just using my Unlimited data. Max to date is 23 Gig in a month!! Eat it VZW!!

what about moding we have root here change software .. come oon guys .. is it so hard ? this is xda with so many options .. get custom rom then jeezz or just root and check build.prop editor
No one's offered an alternative through modding as far as I've seen. How about this, if it's not that hard, YOU fix it and hand over the mod. Not everyone wants a custom ROM with how well stock runs. They never work 100%. So give up IR (ect) for no Wi-Fi notification bug? No thank you. If it was easy as build.prop, would be done. Stop talking out of your ass batterystats.bin guy.

After being annoyed for months I finally got serious about finding a solution. It's actually really easy.
1) Be rooted
2) Install Notifications Off from Play Store (free)
3) Open Notifications Off, scroll down to LGSystemServer, and uncheck it
4) Save
VS980 wifi notifications gone!
Does that kill any other notifications or just the WIFI BS message? Thanks for the find.

Thanks for the help on the pie controls! I really appreciate it, it's just something I never really used on the Nexus, nor used the LMT itself. But without a pure AOSP build, I feel it needs tweaked a bit to get back to a little more familiar grounds. (No Nexus 5 on Verizon .. grrr)
I think I was getting myself confused a bit thinking those tweaks could give me our 3 normal softkeys to replace my physical and capacitive ones. I know it was possible on the Note 2 from reading but it didn't seem to happen without a bit of troubles. Either way, I am rooted now and have removed some of the bloat apps. I am now considering going back into the custom realm on ROMS.
Thanks for the tips!
Im trying to map a shortcut for screenshots but so far none of them have worked.

maybe i can just find an app and map that.
Nevermind updated to the newest build and screenshot is an option.
Is the default input device #4 the best for N3?
I replaced 1 pie button and the other defaults went missing, any way around that, I would like to replace them one at a time?
When blacklisting apps I have to scroll through ~400 app list to remove non ui sys services then select one at a time, is the list a file somewhere that can be edited by other means?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'default input device'. As you set up PIE you can customize the number of tiles (up to 5) and have up to 2 levels of tiles, for a total of 10 possible shortcuts. The first level is set by default to be Android navigation buttons (soft buttons), 'back', 'home', 'menu', 'search', 'multitasking'.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If these defaults have gone missing, or there are less than 5, PIE will reduce the number of 'buttons' that show up when activated, i.e. graphic UI will be adjusted
I could reduce each level of PIE down to 1 'button' if I choose.
Now that I'm thinking in this context, I'm guessing that is what you mean by "default input devices". If I am reading you right, you can set up to 5 and there will be no issue for the Note 3, likewise say that you only wanted three 'buttons' or 'input devices" (Home, Back, Menu) that wouldn't be a problem either. PIE will adjust the Graphic UI to match your settings, there won't be 5 'buttons' on screen if you only set 3 of them. I hope I'm being clear?

Honestly I don't blacklist any apps from from PIE
Can I ask why you want to Blacklist an application? Once I set the apps I want in my PIE I don't worry about the other apps I have installed on my device. I set those to be my most used apps, for the particular device om setting up. For instance, my Note 3 2nd level PIE app shortcuts are these
I have them set, and if I need to change them I just sift through the apps and replace them (I agree it does take some time to load, but once you have it set as you launch PIE it is seamless). I guess I don't understand why you want to Blacklist an application, when you only need to set the ones you want to have appear on the PIE launcher. Not that you need to validate your reasons to me, unfortunately I don't use this feature myself so I don't think I can be very helpful about this. Hopefully someone else might be able to lend some advice.
Let me know if I was on target about your question on setting the 'buttons' up.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'default input device'. As you set up PIE you can customize the number of tiles (up to 5) and have up to 2 levels of tiles, for a total of 10 possible shortcuts. The first level is set by default to be Android navigation buttons (soft buttons), 'back', 'home', 'menu', 'search', 'multitasking'.
If these defaults have gone missing, or there are less than 5, PIE will reduce the number of 'buttons' that show up when activated, i.e. graphic UI will be adjusted

Input device below, default is #4:
The reason I asked is the only pie position that works is bottom center, at first the default right worked but once I changed it, I can't put it back and have it work.
I guess the button setup as you described isn't so bad.

Oh, gotcha. Gesture input is a different set of features in LMT and not invloved with the the operation of PIE. This allows you to set actions that will launch when you complete a gesture.
Much like PIE once you select one of these options it will take you to the list where you can select the action to be completed.
You don't need to set any of this up in order to use PIE, The default for all gestures is 'None'.

You were right, I am using pie all the time now. It really shines for multi task where you can switch from one app to another directly, without going through recent first. Thanks for the turn on!

LMT/PIE is really cool and I just wanted to drop in to let you guys know about an app that's very similar called Switchr
He recently implemented an "Arc" style that's just like PIE, and which one you choose to use is just preference IMO
Big difference is the "Live switching" just imagine using PIE but as you swipe over your overlay icons, the foreground app changes instantly vs PIE where you have to release your finger to trigger the switching
To clarify, By blacklisting an app in LMT/Pie you aren't saying don't show up in the choices of apps. You are telling pie controls to not work or appear when using certain apps. So if i didn't want it to appear in Internet so I can still use its pie controls, I could black list Internet.
I don't use the feature but some people do. I never use ISA or gestures. But have been using pie since beans in the s3. Had it in my note 3 a day after the first root exploit came out after launch. So Worth it

What is PC Quick Commands?
PC Quick Commands is a good looking, simple and open source app to send important commands to your PC. I know a handful of apps exist that offer similar functionality but I just wanted to write my own and I will be adding more functionality to it soon, while keeping it simple and free of bloat/ads and unwanted features/commands, like other apps.

Have you ever heard of Salling Clicker? Was an app back in the day before smart phones that worked via Bluetooth to control your Mac from your phone as well as some other neat little scripts. I would love to see something like that for android and it appears you're already part of the way there!

I see.. but I don't want to make a "Control your PC" alternative. The aim is to enable the user to send important commands remotely, using an available internet connection. That is why I have kept the list simple. I don't want to overwhelm the user with crapload of commands and I want to keep things simple and straightforward. If the user wants to control his entire keyboard or mouse or other stuff then there are apps available for that. There's an option in my app to send a custom command (working on it) using which you can send anything, from mouse location coordinates to media control commands like play and pause. It'll be live in next version
Gotcha, and makes sense. I just miss the text notifications, and mainly music controls, which involved fading out and pausing music when a phone call came in, and restarting and fading in when the call ended.

Might consider adding an option to enable that feature via an IAP after app reaches stable state
Maybe you could use some ideas from Unified Remote? It has "touchpad", keyboard, and basic multimedia functions as well.
Awesome work! Thought about linux support?
Thanx , working great ( Winodws 8.1 )
Would it be possible to add an option to turn the computer on? I use PcAutoWaker to do this right now but it doesnt allow me to turn it off. It would be cool to have one app do it all.
Nice job. Multimedia commands (vol+ vol- play stop next) would be great.

And a cursor would be nice. Check this app, it has nice and simple controls: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cafbit.valence
Tap = Click
Double Tap = Right Click
Two finger slide = scroll
Keyboard plus Modification Buttons (STRG, SHIFT, ALT) plus special keys (ESC, TAB...)

I think you should add a feature of "booting on start" for the desktop PC client, as it is really annoying to launch it manually every time. Thanks bro!

I don't want to replicate touchpad and keyboard functionality, I just want to make it easy for people to send important commands! My plan now is to add more commands and also make the commands more powerful, like instead of only running Chrome, you could specify the URL to open or enable users to execute multiple commands and more.

Working on it. For now, you can create a shortcut of the app and set it to run on startup by moving the shortcut to the Startup folder. There are other ways to make it start on startup as well.

Hi,
So I have discovered the following bugs in the phone
1. In the contact list besides people with phone numbers, it also shows email addresses saved in the contact list from your Google account. Turned sync off, looked everywhere but there is no way to hide those emails from contact list.
Settings list of contacts.

From fist option we can only sort them by First or Last name
2. I have switched on the delivery reports for the sms messages, but unfortunately I am not getting any delivery report.
3. I have forwarded all calls from Sim 1 i.e. Jio to a certain number. Sim 2 is ****tel. Now say a person calls on Jio that call will be forwarded to that specific number say x. Now if x is busy and disconnects the call, this call goes to Sim 2 in the same phone. DAFUQ.
4. I connected my laptop using wifi spot of this phone but the internet kept on breaking. Breaking as in the speed went down to zero for few seconds and then came back. Connected a Samsung phone but still same result.
If there is any solution for the above issues then please let me know.
Thanks
