Call Master for Root Users v1.6.3.1


Requirements: Android 2.1+
Overview: Call Master is the most advanced call and text message firewall available for Android. With unique, powerful features and the proven reliability of our root telephony daemon under the hood, this application is targeted at advanced users and professionals searching for an enterprise quality solution that guarantees absolute stability.

If you find Call Master too complicated but like the power of its root telephony daemon, please have a look at our other call management app, Root Call Blocker. It works just as effectively and may suit your needs better.

WARNING - READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE USING THE APPLICATION OR YOUR LETTERS WILL BE IGNORED.

Advantages:

Ω Blocked calls will never go through
Ω Your screen will never turn on
Ω Private call and SMS sandbox with log sweeper
Ω Full password protection
Ω Route message content to other numbers
Ω Powerful widget

Features:

Ω Ultra flexible list creation
Ω Seven reject methods
Ω Filter SMS by content
Ω Automatic text routing and replies
Ω Regular expression and wildcard filters
Ω Custom notifications
Ω Backup encryption and password protection
Ω Powerful logging and sorting system
Ω Number testing
Ω Independent contact library for total privacy
Ω Profile scheduling
Ω Light and dark themes

This is a fully functional application. However, after a 24 hour demo period it will start nagging you to buy the Key, which will remove all nag screens and timeouts from the interface.

WARNING - APPLICATION REQUIRES ROOT ACCESS, please search the internet for "android root" if you don't know what that means.

WARNING - TEMPORARY DATA LOSS AT FIRST RUN IS NORMAL, your mobile data connection will return in a few minutes.

WARNING - READ THE HELP AND HINTS before writing to us with questions. Its the polite thing to do.

Help us make this the finest call and SMS management app by participating! You can use our internal feedback tools to send logs or write suggestions. You can also visit our blog and XDA support thread, where you can get advice from thousands of expert users.

If you need help, use "Write to us" in the app's settings, come visit our XDA Developers thread, our blog or find us on Facebook. You can tweet at us too!

Our ultimate goal is a Magicall for Android. Please, dont believe the hype about Extreme Call Blocker, Mr Number or Call Control, those apps are not the only ones that work on Gingerbread - Call Master functions on any Android version 2.1 and up, is much faster and 100% silent.

This app DOES NOT provide Caller ID, it is not a dialer and it DOES NOT control your voicemail service. If your blocked calls are being sent to voice mail, try another blocking method.

If calls to numbers you have blocked appear in your messaging app or dialer, dont forget to add the Private Conversation action to your list..

If you find data disconnects, restart your phone. If it keeps happening, use a proper radio for your ROM or a more reliable ROM.

OUTGOING CALL permissions are needed for Hidden mode, refer to the Help for more information on why, possibly free hat racks for your tin hats.

ACCOUNTS are needed for Google contact Groups.

SEND SMS needed for auto-replies and SMS routing.

INTERNET ACCESS mandatory to hook into the communications system. Log data is only sent with your permission via the "Write to us" menu item in Settings. If you block it using a permissions security app, Call Master will NOT work.

INTERNET ACCESS is also used to track downloads and for very coarse (country level) location. If this worries you, you should probably be taking pills for the issue.

What's in this version:
1.6.3.1
Increased demo period to 48 hours
1.6.3.0
Added MMS support (read the Help Hint for info)
Slightly reduced CPU usage when using auto-sweep
Fixed a number of rare UI related crashes from user logs

1.5.3.0
Added automatic log sweeper to global settings

4. Run Lucky Patcher, use costem patch to patch Call Master

Spelling Bee v2.5.0


Requirements: Android v2.1+
Overview: Spelling Bee is an ideal study aid for children, but it's also great for anyone who wants to improve their spelling skills. It features a database of more than 2,300 English words--along with definitions and clear audio clips of each word's pronunciation--so you can expand your knowledge base quickly and easily.

Love it or hate it, spelling is here to stay. Embrace this reality and become a better speller with Spelling Bee, an easy-to-use educational app for your Android device.

Spelling Bee is an ideal study aid for children, but it's also great for anyone who wants to improve their spelling skills. It features a database of more than 2,300 English words--along with definitions and clear audio clips of each word's pronunciation--so you can expand your knowledge base quickly and easily.
Practice Makes Perfect

As any seasoned competitor knows, you can't just walk into a spelling bee cold and expect to win. You have to prepare--and that means studying as many words as you possibly can, learning definitions and pronunciations as you memorize each word.

The app's Study mode gives you that opportunity, offering a no-pressure review of thousands of words. Each entry reveals the correct spelling of a single word and its definition. You can also touch an onscreen audio prompt to hear the word being spoken aloud.
Test Yourself

When you're ready, head to Spelling Bee mode for a virtual bee. Touch the onscreen prompt to hear a word spoken aloud, then type the word into a text box. You'll know immediately whether you got it correct--and if you didn't, the app will helpfully reveal the correct spelling so you can see your mistake.

Choose from four difficulty levels (Beginner, Easy, Medium, or Hard) and decide how many words you'd like to spell in a challenge (five, 10, or 20). If you want to improve your speed, select the Timer option; this keeps track of how long it takes you to complete a quiz.

The makers of Spelling Bee are busy (yes, you guessed it: busy like bees) adding more words all the time, so you'll always find new challenges. Have fun and get spelling!

What's in this version:
- The UI has been improved for Kindle Fire and Galaxy Tab users.
