About Root Call Blocker Pro

RCB is a powerful call and SMS blocker for rooted phones. It uses few resources and works silently in the background. Does not need to be set as the default texting app.

You can choose blocking methods including Offline, Ignore and Kill. Can filter texts by content and block private, restricted and non-numerical caller IDs.

Has a native Tasker plugin. Integrates with Google Contact Groups for editing lists through a browser.

I do not provide direct technical support for this app. You can send logs through the settings and I will examine them in due course but do not expect replies - I work on this app in whatever spare time I find.

I am always available for commercial support - if you're having problems with a purchase, write to support@fahrbot.co.uk for a prompt response.

Please do not try to get my attention with ugly ratings, from now on I will ignore them and will only answer logs if I need technical feedback.

Notes

I will only use SuperSU on my devices so your best bet at getting this to work is to use the latest beta CF binary from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

If you have Xposed installed, don't bother sending any logs, I will ignore them.

If you experience problems follow the instructions below. If that doesn't help, set SELinux to permissive mode and follow them again - it may.

To use this app together with auto-update in Google Play, you must disable re-authentication in your superuser manager, or you will keep losing root access and breaking daemon function. BELIEVE IT.

This app will not be able to block calls or SMS over IP. That means you must disable VoLTE, VoIP or "enhanced messaging" if calls or texts are not being blocked.

Do not use third party backup applications - only internal backup. If you don't care for my advice and it doesn't work after restoring through your regular backup mechanism, follow the instructions below.

Do not keep toggling the service options - YOU WILL BREAK RIL FUNCTION UNTIL REBOOT.

To remove the RIL daemon you need to uninstall the app and reboot your device.

Issues? Do this EXACTLY:

1. Back up using RCB internal backup
2. Uninstall
3. Reboot
4. Install directly from Google Play
5. Start app, test function
6. Restore internal backup

UPDATE: no longer works. No idea what changed. So i tried other apps but this is the best app in terms of options and its feature. The people you have blocked wont even know it because on their side the phone call wont ring, it just doesnt connect therefore they wouldnt even think theyre being blocked. Its worth the money as it gives you the peace of mind. Ill always be with Android for the next foreseeable years and so its a good investment. Thanks!

Know what really sucks? Not getting phone calls or texts for almost a week thinking everyone suddenly hates you... only to realize an app was broken and no warning at all that anything was wrong. Looks like I'm not alone either, too bad, it used to be a great app!

Z70%
by Z####:

Been using this for a couple of years and it's been great. The only concern I have is when I updated to 7.1.2 Lineage OS, the network completely dies on the phone fairly often, and requires at least 1-2 full reboots to bring the services back despite running the telephony service reset function in the app and/or temporarily running Airplane mode or disabling RCB. Intermittent at best, I can only figure the most common denominator is leaving WiFi on for a while while the phone is in standby. Otherwise, create a whitelist for contacts, kill/crush/destroy everyone else with this app.

Update 2. Worthless on Nougat. ****update**** still not working, tried the below solution several times. Hi, since the update this has stopped working on my S5. I've uninstalled, updated the super user binary and reinstalled, nothing. Re-authentication is disabled. I sent an email to support but didn't hear back.

Loved this app but now doesn't work with nougat and seems that the dev has developed quite the attitude instead of supporting his apps. I suggest you remove your apps from the store if you don't want to support them anymore.

It seems this is the end a line of great apps. Nothing lasts for ever. I've used this line of apps for many years over many phones and versions if Android but it seems that it has met its match in Android 7. All the call/sms blocking apps stopped working when I upgraded to Android 7+. Worked great on my HTC 10 until the upgrade to Android 7. Now I'm on the HTC U11 Android 7.1.1 and the apps still don't work. Only get stupid responses from the developer. Thanks for the great years. Anyone looking for a great app for sms/call blocking, and you're on Android 7+ DO NOT BOTHER WITH THESE APPS.

[Read edits towards the bottom] Most of the time this app would deserve 5 stars but updates have occasionally disabled all incoming calls or completely killed my network connection LG g flex running kitkat 4.4.2. This is totally unacceptable for such an important tool. Edit: updates have been better since my last post 2nd Edit this app has been working flawlessly for the past 2 years

Finally, peace and quiet. If your phone is rooted, this is the best app in the world for silencing spam calls and texts. I have my contacts whitelisted. All other numbers are killed before my phone even knows. Beautiful!

Super blocker that really works on my routed phone. Goodbye to all those well intentioned people that keep calling us all day any day. Keep up the good job. BRAVO! Highly recomended, its worth the money!

first install app was working fine but but my phone couldn't detect sim. After reboot my phone RCB Stopped and when I tried manually starting service it says, "ERROR COMMUNICATING WITH SERVICE"

K70%
by K####:

I have my blacklist setup with only 1 number in it. I have it set to kill and it does work all the time on that number. However I have noticed it killing every caller that is not selected in my blacklist. When I go to the number test it shows green for the numbers that are being blocked. Also in the notification pull down I will get new numbers that should not have been blocked showing up as an "add new number" but not even showing up in my phone log which it should've since it wasn't blocked. Not using any wildcard, just 1 profile "blacklist" with 1 number in it.

Used to work great, but not with Nougat 7.0 Moto G5. Blocks some calls, sometimes and lets all texts through. Keep sending logs I guess...
