[BETA] Root Call Blocker - we need testers with rooted Droids/ Milestones

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

I'm kind of new to all of this android stuff but i have a rooted Droid 1 running Ultimate Droid 3.3.. I down to help you test..

Please, download the app and start testing - then let me know of any issues and we will go from there!

Test on my rooted Milestone running MIUI 2.3.4. It worked properly but not like my expect. Caller heard a short ring in both "reject" and "alternative reject" action. In hidden mode, when I dialed secret code, it didn't show apparently ui. Hope u improve in next release. Thanks.

I had a special issue: My phone is rooted, but sometimes when the program was on idle, my phone connection went off and on, regurlarly.

This is not the app - it will only drop network once on first run, or once on boot. This is well tested, but please send a log anyway, with a description of the error at the top.
Use the "send debug data" menu item.

Works fine for me! The latest update is excellent!

Has your issue been fixed?

Hi guys, any feedback on the latest version of the app? We are just about to release an update...

Just got my Milestone last night. Root blkr working just fine on it. Last version too.

Good to know...

Has voicemail and google voice been fixed?

What problems with google voice? I not having any issues with it.

Since when have you been using the app? At one point people had trouble routing things...

OK I have a A854 milestone with root but now the app will only let me block ONE person and that is a bunch of shiz! I'd love to help ya but can't buy the better app so sorry!

Ive been using it since day 1 its the best on android.

Mostly now this thread is for reporting errors...

I'll give it some testing on my Optimus 3D - just rooted.

Remember - you are allowed 1 ITEM per profile in the light version, which actually gives you a lot of blocking if you apply your brain properly.

hbo not compatible

Hello all, Hoping for some help here.
more and more I've noticed that the HBOgo App is giving me errors with can't view video at this time, so I checked if there was an update. I found out there was an update and I updated the app. Now it shows that its not compatible with my device and shuts down. Any ideas on what I can do to get around it?
thanks in advanced for any help?

It would help if you gave some information about what ROM you are running. The app doesn't work with ICS yet so if you are using CM9 you will have to wait for HBO to make that update.

I just updated to 7.2rc. I was going to reload it again from the googleplay but I can't find it anymore. Now any time I try to use the one I already have it shows HBOgo is not supported on this device. can someone that has it working confirm if there is an update available on the market.
Thanks

I have 7.2RC1 and market found it (v1.4), downloaded it and it runs (but I am not a subscriber so I can't view anything). And I am using an old version of market since I hate play store. If you PM me with your email address, I will send you the apk.

I don't know about 2 but regarding #1, this is due to apps using background data. You may want to go into sync settings and turn background data off. But bear in mind, this will stop automatic email sync and as long as its off Google Play won't function

You can use Apps Quarantine apps from the Play Store and add application to quarantine list so that you can block background running application.

[HELP] Disable S-VIEW

Hi fellow devs nd members of xda,
I have got problems with my Galaxy S4.. The sview is flashing throughout my screen without any S-Cover or any magnetic material. This happens randomly.. So I need to disable the s-view service and associated files.
I have tried the following :
1. Disable s-view from system settings
2. Renamed and changed permission for system/app/sview service.apk
I heard from another developer to change the value from OPEN to CLOSE in hall_detect file located at sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_key. But I can't write into the file or rename the file.. The only thing I can do is change the permissions, but that doesn't help..
Does anyone have any idea how this sview works. It's become annoying when I play movies or games on my S4..
Many thanks
AJ

After KitKat update I guess! Didn't had this problem in JB. Deleted SecView apk and seems to be fine so far though ?

If you're rooted you could try the xposed modules, there's one in there that disables S-View.
I will edit this post if I find the specifics.

Install Xposed from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Install my module http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/Xposed/DisableSView.apk
It's as close as you can get without disabling the sensor. I didn't hook into the phone so that might still show the S-View window, but that's no biggie. Also, the Smart Stay icon disappears, but hey, that can be a plus

Have you ever figured out how to turn off S-view magnet sensor? I have the same problem with a magnetic car mount and it's very annoying.

Well people say just by removing the L1 screw in our phones under the back, the issue gets resolved.
There is one screw name L1 just under our cover.

First Thanks for uploading your files but sadly I think I broke something because I geting only a black screen with statusbar at the top even when I paste in your files back in and this happens since I accidentally delete my. (before that black screen with time, date and so on)
I found no process or app or autostart that contains "s view" or something like that. How did find it and how was it named ?

Okay I understand. My problem is I can't find it (screenshot) there mainly I broke it somehow but do you know if there is any way to install a app back into touchwiz framework because when I try to install that apk it fails.

You saved my ass, thanks for that. After getting root and so on I tried to follow your instructions. The App was there and I stopped it but needed only one tap (clicked once ->Force Stop) and then stick it on the phone holder but again the S View Cover Screen comes on (with time/date and status bar). I have no clue what to do now because I can't deactivate the app even.
EDIT: When I deactivate the app per third party app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SystemCleanup.Inteks.org) the black screen comes on without time and date. So there is any other process that start when a magnet comes close to the S4 ?

Does your dock have something magnetic??
A magnet triggers that stupid sview.
Use any custom rom that doesnot have sview. It shall get solved.

Yes, of course the holder has magnets too so yeah I know its triggering that view but I thought that view could be fully disabled without a custom rom.
A custom rom is no solve for me right now.
The Question would be how the S View got removed in the roms then I could do the same for my stock rom.
Found out that the Hall Sensor triggers that but found nothing to disable or something like that.

Thanks but I wish it was that easy. I have pretty much did everything as far as common fixed, reboot, reinstall, clear data, even install older version of the app.

fixed
just want to post an update. In case othe rppl have the same issue.
Took me 4 hrs but I fixed mine.
Issues might be the new google play service.
Also I can't use facebook chat on PC in the fb.com or else it will break my notification for my phone.
Facebook, chrome, andriod whatever need to get their **** together.

I got that problem too snapchat + twitter i checked notification toggle and application manager no problem with them. Maybe its the app not us?
