SD Contacts vs SMS Filter
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
SD Contacts
This app is meant for users that don't want to synchronize their contacts online, but want to keep them local to the phone. Though there is a problem, if you brick your phone, you might lose all your contacts. With this app, you will have a backup of your contacts stored on the SD card. You can take it out and import the contacts into your new phone.
SMS Filter
SMS Filter can filter incoming SMS messages before they reach your inbox. You can filter by address, and optionally add parts that must occur in the message for it to be blocked. By default, SMS Filter will not delete incoming messages. You will get a silent status bar notification when SMS Filter has filtered an incoming message, which you can view by opening the notification or by opening the application. You can also tell SMS Filter to delete incoming messages, in which case it will happily do so for you. To do this, just turn off the 'Save messages' preference.
