The basic idea...

"The basic idea behind open source is very simple. When programmers on the Internet can read, redistribute, and modify the source for a piece of software, it evolves. People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs. And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used to the slow pace of conventional software development, seems astonishing...
...The Open Source pages exist to make this case to the commercial world."    - Introduction to Open Source - www.opensource.org

* Sanity

market download Sanity makes your phone calls better, easier and healthy. Sanity is your personal assistant to:

- audio record your phone calls in mpeg4, 3gpp or amr format (also automatically)

- announce caller and SMS: speak the caller's name when receiving a call or a message using the synthesized voice (text to speech)

- block unwanted calls and SMS: automatically refuse incoming calls and SMS filtering out the phone number (include or exclude anonymous and/or unknown numbers, favourites, contacts and groups; enable the block by choosing date and time); advanced: choose between different block methods to confuse the caller!

- auto answer: automatically answer the call when phone is ringing by choosing phone numbers, date and time and if respond only when using headphones.

- urgent calls: choose what phone numbers your phone will ring or vibrate also when it's in silent mode

- automatic speakerphone: automatically turn on/off the handsfree when the phone is far/close to your ear

- outgoing anonymous calls: make private calls by hiding your caller ID (also automatically by filtering the phone numbers to call)

- reduce electromagnetic waves: automatically turn on/off wifi, bluetooth, GPS and mobile data (2G/3G) when you speak at your phone

- choose different volume levels during calls: one for normal calling, loud handsfree, wired heasets volume and bluetooth headsets volume

- automatic bluetooth headsets: automatically enable bluetooth for a limited time when the call starts

- timeouts for restoring silent mode and airplane mode: just enable the silent/aiplane mode (in any way) and Sanity will ask you how much time to stay in that mode

- vibrate the phone when the call begins and when the call ends.

- fast sms: displays the received SMS allowing you to respond immediately.

Sanity uses proximity sensor for turning on/off automatically the antennas and the handsfree when the phone is close to your ear.
In this way, Sanity can make your calls healthier by lowering the electromagnetic fields.
It can be also useful while you're driving car: throught automatic handsfree, the headsets are no longer needed.

Most of Sanity features are configurable through the most advanced phone number filter: choose whether to activate a function for all numbers or for anonymous numbers, unknown numbers, contacts (all or some), favorite contacts, contact groups and also filter by prefix number.

Imagine what you can do with Sanity... For example, when you walk or ride your bike while listening to music, you can receive a call, then Sanity will tell you who's calling, and then it will automatically answer the call: all that without touching or looking at the phone!

Sanity is light, small and very fast.
Sanity is a free software, opensource, released under GNU Public License version 3.

Please use official forum for bug reporting, don't report bugs here in comments.
Thank you.

NOTE: automatic mobile data and GPS switches work on many phone models but not on all! Android SDK hasn't functions for enabling/disabling mobile data and GPS, so that Sanity uses undocumented functions!
Be careful: if you use Sanity by enabling and disabling Wifi too much times in few seconds, it couldn't restore the Wifi state (it's normal).

Now the simple instructions for UNINSTALLING can be found in the first page of the application (in older versions such info were in the "About and contacts" section).
A lot of stupid people leave comments like "it won't uninstall" but they are wrong! They don't read the uninstall instructions.
