Hello and thank you for reading my post. Today i stole my GFs phone cuz i wanted to prank some boys that are stalking her. I am not jealous and want revenge, just joke around and have some fun:P Here is my plan:

Everytime womeone call i would like to play my liam Neeson taken quote: I will look for you, i will find you and i will kill you. This is saved as a MP3 file on the phone.

How can i make this answer the phone for me? The best thing would be to get an extra button on the screen when someone calls so you can chose, answer, hang up or Liam Neeson.

Anyway, i just want this to work in some way. wether it will be good or bad.
 
I can see the concept here being useful for other purposes, like playing a prerecorded statement upon receipt of a telemarketing call, or collections call.

I believe this could be done with Tasker. I just tried using Tasker to play a custom ringtone into the call stream during an active call. I was able to hear the ringtone on the other phone.

You could trigger Tasker to do this based on phone orientation, shaking the phone, using a scene to place a button on the active call screen, or some other way. Here's an example:

Context: Incoming Call
Context: Shake
Task:
Play Ringtone [Type:Ringtone, Sound:<YourSound>, Stream:Call]


If you decide to do this, I would definitely recommend getting the trial version of Tasker first, as some devices behave differently while the phone is ringing or during an active call. This usually varies by manufacturer, or at least it does in my experience.

You can download a free 7-day trial of Tasker from the developer's web site, or get the paid version in the Android Market.
