Yesterday I've started to work on a call blocker for harmattan
I took khuong's callerx daemon and change some part of the code, and made my own UI.

The callerx daemon runs always in background and starts on every reboot.
You no need to open the Call Blocker app everytime you start the device.

It's just a start, but I think it's working

Here's a screenshot of the UI:

I'll upload source to gitorious when it's more stable.

Please let me know how it works

Hi, you said that it starts when the phone is switched on, so what about the battery life if the application is always running in background?

tried to install via xterm, aegis wouldnt let me. rebooted and saw icon in app view, but app doesnt work. may be due to failed install.

edit: re-installed via xterm, and it still doesnt block calls

It does nothing in background, so it should not eat the battery.

I've uploaded the file again with some changes
I've installed it using filebox now to check and it works.
Please try again.

Excellent stuff, thank you very much for this!

I'm just wondering where the blacklist file is located, so that I can add hundreds of numbers in an easier way?

I used to have a blacklist of 1600 numbers from known telemarketing companies and block those when I till used Symbian.

It's all in the same file
/home/user/.config/cepiperez/callblocker.conf

Great, thanks!

Do all numbers have to be on the same line or can I use brackets or escaped newlines?

It would also be nice if the app could import numbers from the phone book.

Maybe I'm wrong but is behavior not inverted?

I mean: I enter a number in blacklist and put "Calls block mode" on Blacklist . And when the number calls me, I receive the call. But if I choose "Calls block mode" on Whitelist ... the number goes automtically on my voicemail.

It's not inverted for me. The numbers I put in the blacklist are blocked, others are not.

I just filled up my list with about 300 numbers, so I'll have to test if it works as it should in the next couple of days. Usually I get 2-3 calls from telemarketers every day...
