There is a good software for specific number based call history management. It's called flexishield. You choose a numbe and it hides all outgoing, incoming, missed calls, sms and mms from that particular number.
I was going through the file structure of windows mobile, couldn't locate the file which contains the call history.
There must be an easier way to hide specific numbers from call history

Hello Guys,
Quite a while ago I used a Symbian app as an answerphone on my Nokia N96. I believe it was called Advanced Call Manager.
The question is: Are there any apps out there that will allow me to use my Samsung Galaxy SII to answer incoming calls and record messages.
These were the features of ACM for the N95:
More efficient call-handling options you can assign to different contacts
ACM gives you five more ways to subtly escape calls without having to hang up:
Busy tone – send a busy tone to callers. Avoid acting rude by hanging up.
Busy tone and SMS – add a personal touch to sending a busy tone: inform your callers with pre-assigned SMS replies.
Mute the ringer – let the calls through with a muted ringer. More discrete, and keeps you undisturbed.
Divert calls – forward incoming calls when you are unavailable.
Play a personal greeting (Nokia devices only) – set your own answering machine and record the caller’s message straight onto your phone, avoiding having to call your operator to check voice messages.
Handle groups of contacts by creating lists
The easiest way to handle your calls is to divide callers into lists such as “Friends,” “Family,” “Work” and assign blocking rules for each. ACM gives you several handy list options:
Work with blacklists and whitelists – block or allow calls from people included in a list.
Import contacts from your phonebook – simplified list creation.
Individual settings allowed – personalize how ACM handles an individual caller included in a list (for example, send a specific SMS auto-reply to your mother while the default blocking action for list “Family” is to send busy tone).

The closest thing I have come across is Hullomail but this has to have all calls forwarded to there answer service. I'd prefer to simply handle all calls on my SGS2
Cheers.
This is the exact same app for android

Yes I've seen that one, but... It does not record or answer incoming calls on the Android platform.
Does anyone have experience of any apps along these lines?
here in thailand people can request a callback via sms for free
so if somebody doesn't have money on his phone he can type for example *222*0123456789 and the number will get an sms containing something like: hey, number 111111 wants that you call him back. depending on which provider the person uses this sms differs of course
i would like to have an app which checks new sms for a keyword and if a new message matches then it should open a popup which asks if i want to call this number, and play a ringtone to make sure i hear it.
does such an app exist?
doesn't seem so
With the increasing number of secure and non-secure communications apps out there, and the variety of SMS/MMS, etc available, it would be great to have a way of specifying which app is used per contact entry to use.
For example, if you have a contact in your phone that only knows your Google Voice number, but not your real phone number, instead of trying to remember which number you gave him, you can specify either in an app, or the contacts list, that any time you call or text this person, it will use your Google Voice number automatically. Or, you are chatting with someone online and you want to use WhatsApp to communicate with them instead of Skype, or instead of Kik. Or, you want to have secure communications with a spouse with end-to-end encryption and want to use Signal instead of your default SMS app.
Does anyone know of an application that can do this, or a modification to make?
A family has asked me to prevent one of their children from sending text messages to certain numbers. (Please don't suggest they simply take away the phone or delete contacts.) I have seen many text message blocking applications, but it seems they can't block outgoing messages. As far as I know, Android is the only operating system that might allow blocking outgoing text messages. I've seen some old threads on XDA that suggest blocking outgoing text messages is impossible, but I doubt this is true today. I can think of two ways to do this:
1. Monitor the default text message application and prevent messages from being sent. This answer on Stack Overflow seems to suggest it's possible, although it seems the phone must be rooted: stackoverflow.com/a/20885911/1325179. (I haven't posted enough on XDA to include a link apparently.)
2. Replace the default text message application with a custom application that utilizes a parental control system. Apparently newer versions of Android allow for other applications to take over the text messaging role, and this new program could prevent messages from being sent to certain numbers.
So does anyone know of a program that already uses #1, #2, or anything else that might block outgoing text messages? I'm hoping a final product exists. Thanks.
All the Call Blocking Apps I could find seem to only have the ability to block all calls that the number isn't in your contacts list. I would assume (but maybe not) you can create an app that has access to not only read the phone number of the caller but if there is a matching caller ID name. If that were the case, I am perplexed why none of these apps have a feature to block all calls not in contact list *AND* Caller ID Name is blank or has no letters (in case the function returns the phone number) I know many apps keep a black list database but the problem is, many of the Robo Caller farms don't have all their numbers listed in the black list -- they are constantly changing their blocks of numbers they use -- but virtually none of them return a caller ID name. - you just see a phone number. And note, I am not talking about calls marked "Private", most apps block those.
Is this really not techincally possible or are most of these call blocking app developers overlooking this useful feature?

I think technically they can, but the problems with that are if what happen if someone who just got your phone number call you. All any other services that want to call you in case of an emergency.
i have my note8 setup to send any number not in my contscts to voicemail using Call control. by turning on dnd mode in settings my whitelist and my contacts are aloud .
