I want to block a range of phone numbers and phonehook doesn't work for me

Applications
#1

I’m recently being regularly called by an automated range of ‘call and hook’ number.
They call, you pick up the phone and they’ve hung up.

I want to block these calls and I’ve heard phonehook can do the job.
But when I enter a number in the call blocks section, it’s not saved.
And the ‘start daemon’ button isn’t doing anything.

The user nemo is hard-coded so
ln -s /home/defaultuser /home/nemo

  • disable Sailjail in the .desktop file
  • stop Phonehook (pkill phoneh)
  • start Phonehook
  • start the daemon

Use wildcards when blocking - I block 100 numbers for each unwanted call.

My SIM is in my XA2 so I can’t verify if Phonehook actually works in 64-bit Sailfish, but at least the daemon is running.

I haven’t done any coding in Sailfish in a long time, so it’s…

devel-su ln -s /home/defaultuser /home/nemo

and then how do I disable Sailjail? Which .desktop file?

/usr/share/applications/phonehook.desktop

[X-Sailjail]
Sandboxing=Disabled
