MagiCall 1.2 (Updated): Call Filtering/Blocking (plus SMS)

[rfitzek]

Gotta say, I'm playing with this on a custom 6.1 Rom on my Mogul, working terifficly so far. Love the options and the features that are coming look promising.

Biggest benefit to me is the SMS filter, I just my SMS to get pages from work, but sometimes the system monitors flake out and send me BS pages for things that are not critical, but look like they are, so it got annoying getting those in the middle of the night, now Magicall knows what to look for in the page and not bother me if it contains a certain string. AWESOME! I wish my system monitors were so intelligent.

One question though and I may just be missing it, but how do I delete (not just disable) a rule that I no longer need?

Hold down your stylus or finger on the rule you want to delete until a menu pops up on the screen (2 or 3 seconds). One of the options in that menu should be "Delete". I love this program. I've been using it for 7 or 8 months.

Is there a way to block both phone call and SMS without creating 2 rule types?

Not to my knowledge. When you create a new rule, you have to select a "Rule Type". The options are: Phone-Inbound, Phone-Outbound, and SMS. You can only select one of these.

Completely blocks it out. No rings or any type of notification if you set it in the 'ruler' options.
