Any SMS blocker that works with antitheft?
« on: April 29, 2012, 05:45:29 PM »
I've seen many apps that doesn't work with AAT, but is there any one that can securely block SMS and work with it?

This is kinda embarassing, sorry for that, I installed avast only for the anti-theft, and didn't wanted to leave the Avast icon so if it gets stolen they wouldn't know it's beeing tracked, so I unninstalled it.
Thanks, installed it again and is working great!

If you search a forum, you will find a post describing how to edit common SMS receiving applications to work with Anti-Theft. It might disable their automatic updates though.

Sorry Filip. I was thinking you should address a way to change other products priority using a hex editor.
No other company will change the priority, neither the SMS backup tools nor any other SMS handler... They will all start to be incompatible with avast!
At least, an advanced way to change a programs priority would help imho.

Why did you say "edit"?

Because the priority is written in app's AndroidManifest.xml. If you edit the file, you can change the priority.
