** How to Open Shady **
THERE IS NO ICON!
THERE IS NO OPEN BUTTON!
THERE IS NOTHING IN THE APP DRAWER!
THERE IS NO ICON ON YOUR DESKTOP!
The only way to open the app is by dialing 789 in your telephone and pressing call. You can change this dialing code to anything you'd like.
THIS IS NOT SHADY SMS 2.0, THERE IS NO MESSAGER IN THIS APP AND THERE IS NO WAY TO VIEW THE BLOCKED MESSAGES
** Introduction **
Shady Ultimate Block is based on the powerful filtering code found in the famous Shady SMS 2.0. Using the same contact list design, simplifications have been made and the ability to import a contact from the call history has been added. There is no way to view what is blocked, which is the main difference between this app and Shady SMS 2.0. Shady Ultimate Block only **blocks** stuff and is not a robust secret messager and call filter app like Shady SMS 2.0.
** MMS Blocking **
Shady Ultimate Block is the only blocker application, on the Android Market, that fully blocks all MMS messages. Any contact added will have all MMS messages deleted within the blink of an eye.
** SMS Blocking **
Contacts added to Shady Ultimate Block have all SMS messages deleted within the blink of an eye. The entire process of preventing crap from getting into your phone has been fully automated with Shady Ultimate Block.
** Call Blocking **
Contacts added to Shady Ultimate Block have all calls ended immediately; the code used to end calls should work on the vast majority of devices, but is indeed dependent on how the carrier coded their operating system.
The call terminator ends all active calls and will disconnect you if you are on an active call. My apologies, this is just how the call terminator works :-(
** Call History **
The call history is automatically pruned and there will be no trace of the call at all. The code is so fast that 99% of the time there won't even be a single ring. The call is aggressively terminated with prejudice! No longer will you be annoyed by a repeated robo call, simply add the number to the list and say goodbye to midday annoyances.
** Recommendations **
If the end call feature isn't working on your device Cyanogen Mod 6 and 7 is always a solution. Cyanogen is the best OS for any Android device if its available.
** Additional Features **
Because much code was ported from Shady SMS 2.0 there are some additional features. Each contact has a variety of fields in addition to the primary telephone number. You can add 2 numbers per contact and both numbers are fully blocked. You can also add additional information like the full address, email, and birthday. There is also a star color, which is a trivial feature, but may be useful in categorizing particular contacts.
** Import / Export **
Shady Ultimate Block fully supports importing and export from the regular contact list. You will be prompted if you want to delete the contact from the list during and import, and you will be prompted if you want to export the contact when one is deleted from Shady Ultimate Block.
** Notifications **
Shady Ultimate Block is best used with Shady SMS 2.0 because of the SMS/MMS notifications replacement code. You can also use Chomp, Handcent, or Go SMS because you'll be able to blacklist the contacts you want to block preventing the notification.
