i9300 4.1.2 rooted stock ROM, howevever frozen/uninstalled many system apps.
Currently have app Silent Hours which successfully allows calls through while it has activated mute.
I however want an app which can perform a quick mute, preferably with widget on home screen, while still allowing customized numbers through. Silent hours does have a quick mute function, but it does not allow calls through with this function. So at the moment I have to go into silent hours, choose start time and and end time, what day, then I get what i want. It's just too tedious. Plus I'd like to customize what numbers to let through; it can only allow all calls.
I started looking around and tried some apps, but none of them unmutes when call is made to a S3 it seems:
Mute-o-matic is very fancy with all the features I want, mailed dev, no response.
What I tried:
Custom event in mute o matic, set time from one minute from now and waited for mute. Then made call from number on exceptions list (tried two different cell phones), call is coming through but no sound. Auto-sms reply works.
Calendar event. Again, no ringtone but SMS is working.
Restarted app, restarted phone
Closed all other apps, clearing memory, closing all active services.
Frozen all other similar mute apps.
Custom level to 6
I tried all other relevant apps I could find on play store; all of them failed in unmuting.
I just now gave play another go. Searched all free apps for "Mute", and tried all app with required features.
Mute 'N caller - fails to unmute.
RD Mute - can't put in mute mode via the triggers
perhaps the reason is one of the system apps I removed or my ROM being screwed up some other way, since the apps lists S3 as tested and working. I would however before flashing appreciate if some of you could tell me an app that is working for you!
edit:
Tried out even more apps.
RD Mute - can't put in mute mode via the triggers
Doesn't work at all:
VIP calls https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vision.vipcallseng&hl=sv
mute n call
Selective Silence, neither in silent mode or vibrate https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.selectivesilence&feature=search_result
Settings profile
Followed instructions from http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...pp-lets-you-only-have-certain-calls-ring.html
If post 9 then then phone rings irrespective of number being allowed or not
If post 13 phone does not ring if allowed number, neither in vibration or silent mode.
Partially works:
Auto ring, only if set to vibrate - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.auto.ring&hl=sv
Fully works:
Call filter alarm https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.pezzin.callfilteralarm.free - However it does not have that many options.
Guess I'll use touchwiz blocking mode in the mean time. It's easy to manually trigger, but does not have SMS-text reply and can only be automated on/off between a certain time, which is the same for all days. But I can use silent hours or call filter alarm for that.

Check this app out:
Call Master: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
Call Master Pro Key: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist.key
Been using that for many years now and it's the best call block app out there but it cost money and it's worth it. But you need root on the phone to use it.
And that is the best way to get rid of that annoying callcenter sellers and other idiots that calling you everyday

From the description it doesn't look like this app will make my phone ring if I have it in vibrate/silent mode. I need everything, mail, chat, other notifcations etc, to be silent. The only way the phone should make noise is if alarm goes off or number on whitelist is calling.
edit: just tried it out, naturally it did not unmute. Installed call master -> gave root permission -> new profile -> create new list -> added exception for number -> actions -> added action Filter calls & SMS -> allow.
I've been looking around a bit and haven't found an answer yet. Here's my question: Does anyone know what app controls Blocking Mode? I had an issue not too long ago where Blocking Mode turned itself on and my alarm stopped working. My goal is to completely disable it so Settings will Force Close when it tries to activate (like I did with Easy Mode). Any assistance would be appreciated.
Is there a way to get notifications for 3. party apps if they are closed? Currently I can get notifications from Instagram and others only when I left them opened. Also, I'm using Auto ring app to be able to define important contacts which will be able to access me when phone is set to silent. On all other Android phones this app works like service but on Fire phone it has to be open to work.
Came from nexus6p. Usually I set tasker profile to trigger the work location and then put the phone to vibration mode automatically. However, it failed on the new oneplus 5T. Is there any way to do that without manually push the alter slider?
It should work the same on 5T. Make sure you gave tasker all access (i.e. usage access, notification access)

Unfortunately not. Takser has given all access. but if the alter slide in bottom postion, the ringstone volume cannot down to 0. while if the alter slide in top and middle, you cannot enable ring.
You can set Do Not Disturb mode to Alarms with Tasker and your phone will be silent with vibration turned on.
Hello,
Is there any way to make some applications to bypass DND mode and work normally even when DND is enabled?
On my previous phone i could for example select Instagram video calls to bypass DND mode , now there is no such option.
I guess its due to the different android version but is there a way?
Thanks in advance for your help
I haven't found such option in the settings, but you might do a workaround with Tasker (intercept selected notifications, turn off DND, push custom notification with sound, turn DND on again).
