I have tried the 3rd party apps but they all blow... Mr. Number etc. What I don't like about these apps is all that I have used will usually allow the phone to ring at least once. Or if I'm on another call they state they cannot reject the number. What I like about the stock reject is that it seems to instantly reject the call even before it rings. (least it did that way on my S5)

So if anyone can figure it out $50.00 Bones Donation to you!

Thanks-

I'll claim this. :highfive:


open the stock phone app > hit the 3 dots in the top right corner of the app > call settings > call reject > reject calls from..

options to reject all calls or specific numbers


*Edit*
I've been told the above is missing on Verizon G3. How bout..

open up an adb shell and enter the following 2 commands (or open terminal emulator and just use the 2nd command)...
Code:
adb shell
am start com.android.phone/.CallRejectActivity
...and the menu will open on the phone. Now select "reject calls from" and add contacts or new numbers to list.
Just had this confirmed with two VS985 users in IRC (tyvm).

You can use something like ScriptManager to create a shortcut.
Different options there.

This was tested on a rooted phone but should work on unrooted as well. :cowboy:


*Edit 2*
Final directions added to post #9

I just want the Stock LG call reject somehow put back onto the phone. (Verizon A-Holes removed it for some reason) So to simply be able to go into my call log and long press the phone number in question and select add to reject call list or W/E the Factory LG option is supposed to say. I guess my thought is that one of you Big Brains would figure out how to flash the Non Removed LG Dialer back to the phone?? Hope that makes sense.

I confirmed for sure the phone is supposed to have it - I went to the AT&T store and it was on the phone.

Add shortcut to activity from nova or apex, choose phone, and pick call reject mode (.callrejectactivity)

Is that what you're looking for?

create shortcut to the command I listed above.

launching command will open up the built in call reject menu on your VS985 device. No root needed.
In the menu you have the option to click add number from contacts, from recent call logs and manual entry.

after launching you will see this menu

K you gotta remember I'm a total Nub when it comes to this stuff... So I downloaded the Script Manager Apk. Installed it.. from there how do I create the shortcut with the earlier referenced command line that you gave me?

download xshortcut and open it after installing.

Click the "Edit your shortcut" icon.



on the next screen edit your info exactly like the pic below...


Code:
[B]Shortcut name:[/B] [I]Reject[/I] 
[SIZE="1"](or any name you want.. you can also pick the icon by clicking just right of shortcut name)[/SIZE]

[B]Target:[/B] [I]Activity[/I]

[B]Component Package:[/B] [I]com.android.phone[/I]

[B]Component Class:[/B] [I]com.android.phone.CallRejectActivity[/I]
then hit the big blue "ok" button at the bottom. You will now how a shortcut on your desktop(any launcher you want) to launch the stock reject feature.

click on new "Reject" shortcut > click reject calls from > click "tap to add numbers" to add any number from contacts, call logs or manual entry.
click on new "Reject" shortcut > click call reject mode > toggle between reject mode off/on with list/reject all.

the shortcut you made will take you to the following screen:





if you would like to skip that screen and go directly to the "tap to add numbers" instead then create your shortcut with the following options instead...

Code:
[B]Shortcut name:[/B] [I]Reject[/I] 
[SIZE="1"](or any name you want.. you can also pick the icon by clicking just right of shortcut name)[/SIZE]

[B]Target:[/B] [I]Activity[/I]

[B]Component Package:[/B] [I]com.android.phone[/I]

[B]Component Class:[/B] [I]com.android.phone.CallRejectListActivity[/I]

Damn it's so close to what I want working... but it doesn't reject the call when I'm on the other line :( Nor does it simply reject the call... it sends it to VM. Is it possible to get the stock LG Call Reject Feature put back on the phone somehow? Hell I'd even be willing to buy an AT&T phone if there was anyway you could grab the file off of it then I could return it LOL!

I appreciate the effort... but not what I was really looking for.

AFAIK this is how the stock reject option works. On my TMO G3 it's the same behavior. Option was there by default in TMO G3.

Perhaps the stock LG reject option is different than your S5?

Donated $10.00 for your efforts as I appreciate you trying to make it work! Thanks Prime!
Ahh that could be.. I didnt have time to check out how it worked at the AT&T store. So when you are on the other line the call will still come through on the Stock LG APP? And it also directs it to VM?

I have the AT&T variant at my house right now. Do you know what the name of the file is? If so, I can get it to you later this afternoon.

I use RootCallBlocker - RCB (Pro Version)
Phone doesn't ring, texts don't appear.

Never thought of using anything since I found it.
+1

I think RCB Pro Version blows away any built in solution simply because it can be backed up and moved from phone to phone as I buy new phones. Since I always root my phones and remove bloat before I put any personal data on them, once blocked by RCB, always blocked by RCB. No more losing my block list when I upgrade to a new phone.
