S sorex Expert Licensed User Longtime User Dec 16, 2013 #1 Hello, I need to create a small app that quickly enables an unconditional call forward for people here at work that are not familiar with smart phones. Can I just change the default phone forward settings in a kind of registry wise way like on Windows? or do I really need one of these phone state libraries to have the app running as a service and check on incoming call states?

S sorex Expert Licensed User Longtime User Dec 20, 2013 #5 Got it working, Erel. With your phone lib it's like 1 line of code unlike that intent stuff for the none b4a users. the only "bad" part is that the screen blacks out 2 seconds during the *21*num# dial and it gives extra notification prompts to be clicked away but that's something to live with it since it's OS prolly based.
