About Root Call Blocker

Root Call Blocker is a powerful call, SMS and MMS blocker for root users. Stop bill collectors and text message spammers 100% of the time with our unique superuser-enabled call manager.


Unlike other call filters, RCB silently blocks calls and messages at a system level. You need not even know its working and can choose to be notified only if specific numbers are blocked. It doesnt need to be set it as a default messaging app to block SMS. It will not cut current calls when blocking during an ongoing call.

Features:

• Phone never rings and the screen never turns on
• In-call widgets to ignore/block calls on the fly
• Remotely manage lists with Google Contact Groups
• Block SMS without setting as default messaging app
• Native Tasker plugin for ultimate automation control
• Customize notifications with vibration, ringtone and LED colors

Advantages:

• Completely ignore spam calls and messages
• Import large lists of numbers from files, including CSV
• Block MMS and numbers containing letters
• Reject unknown, withheld, private and restricted numbers
• Keep blocked calls and messages private with password, dialer code or pattern
• Block area codes or countries using Wildcards

More features:

• Silent/hidden operating mode
• Cloud backup to Google Drive and Dropbox
• Google Groups integration
• SMS auto-replies
• Encrypted backups

Trial restrictions:

• No more than 5 items per list, you can still use Groups and Variables to block as many numbers as you like.

WARNING - APPLICATION REQUIRES SPECIAL ROOT/SUPERUSER ACCESS, visit our website for more information: http://fahrbot.co.uk/root

Only SuperSu is officially supported. Make sure SELinux is PERMISSIVE, as described, for example, here: http://goo.gl/0RUkEh

99% of "it stopped working" errors are caused timed out root requests after auto-updates, to use this app together with auto-update in Play, you MUST disable re-authentication or click "remember" in your superuser app, or you will keep losing root and breaking daemon function.

WARNING - THIS APP DOESN'T BLOCK IP TRAFFIC - you cannot use it with WiFi or LTE calling enabled. So called "enhanced messaging" is also not supported.

Before communicating an issue always perform a clean install - UNINSTALL, REBOOT, INSTALL FROM PLAY, ENABLE DEBUGGING and test with one number WITHOUT RESTORING YOUR BACKUP DATA. Keep in mind that rebooting wipes the daemon log making many bug reports useless.

This app does not control your voicemail service. If your blocked calls are being sent to voice mail, try another blocking method or use Google Voice. You can simulate a disconnected message by forwarding busy calls to a number that doesn't exist.

OUTGOING CALL permissions are needed for hidden mode, using the dialer to enter a password.

ACCOUNTS are needed for Google Contact Groups and Backup.

SEND SMS needed for auto replies.

INTERNET ACCESS is for licensing and the "Send report" tool.

LOG DATA only sent with your permission via the "Write to us" menu item in Settings.

Call blocking is excellent. Please make SMS blocking intelligent too. One can still see message sent and message delivered notification in one's phone even if you are blocking them. Please improve this

RCB does what it says plus SMS blocking, quite useful. The interface is fitting and easy to use, complete with help docs and whatnot to aid you. Any blocked calls or SMS go to the logs for viewing, that you can disable or enable as a notification. Overall, quite utilitarian for someone who suffers from dealing with spam SMS messages.

This is a brilliant app. My phone's built in call & text blocking service cannot handle blocking on messages coming from letters-only senders. Duh... These sender IDs are being used by spammers in India, and the only way to avoid my inbox from filling up with junk is to use a strong antidote. This is where RCB fills the gap. Also, I can use my native messaging app, which is quite well designed, as opposed to using a clumsy replacement, and have the junk filtered before they hit the system inbox.

I've used this app before, however i don't remember if "block while waiting" feature was present before. My service provider runs a tape "number you've dialed is busy on another call". How can i stop this? Can you please add this feature so that other person won't come to know.

I just cant answer any call, i want it to just block numbers i put in blacklist and let all other numbers ring normally by the system network, this is a killing point in the app. Plz reply with a solution for my problem. If it fixed i give 5 stars.

Unfortunately this isn't working for me on rooted Sony Xperia Z2. Latest version of SuperSU. Tried the default block everyone and calls come through. Happy for any suggestions as this looks like a very customisable app which I like a lot.

In call blocking option, the app says it works only in some MTK devices. It is presently working well on MTK 6592. Please advise which other devices it will work as i want to change my phone. I have RCB Pro version. Thanks.

Former Mr.Number user. Mr. Number no longer blocks calls, but this app does. Two blocks calls today. Phone didn't ring. Music playback wasn't interrupted. 12 days in, 9 calls blocked. Everyone of them a semen belching telemarketer. This app is wonderful.

When using the app it lags and sticks and take a while to navigate through. The call blocking works so 5 stars if the sticking is sorted out. Galaxy S5 neo

I upgraded to the paid version.But the recent update screwed the app.After the latest update the app is no more able to kill the undesired calls.Earlier it used to be good.But no more it is good for my Lenovo A6000. Even after successful auto detection of auto telephony numbers in blacklist are being allowed which should not be the case when blacklist is active.

No problems at all, exactly what I was looking for. Negative reviews must not be rooted correctly or something. Good work to whoever developed this.

by Y####:

The best part is it doesn't need to be set as default messaging app like the other call/sms blocking app. It just works flawlessly. Suggestions: disguise the main UI as calculator or sound setting, and change the app icon with less suspicious icon. Just to make sure that no one is attracted to open it

Yeah, the best call blocker ever i tested, excellent and silent, but i need waiting for over 2 minutes to started the service after turn on device, so need improvement

Rubbish! does not work. The whole point of this ROOT call blocker is to intercept calls before they even reach the phone - i am littered with spam calls daily and this rubbish does not work at ALL! - Im gonna uninstall it. Whats the point of have a call blocker if you're gonna block all calls except your contacts ? That means no one new can reach you on your phone - for example, if you apply for 100 jobs daily, you're not gonna fill up your contacts with random employers but at the same time you want to filter out all the spam. 0/10 = 100% ABSOLUTE RUBBISH - PATHETIC!
