#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
What did you find for a gallery? I never found an open one I liked other than simple gallery.
Note that the fork Fossify Gallery is already available on F-Droid. The rest of the apps aren't yet. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fossify.gallery/ Thanks to this debacle, I'll actually be trying it out. What I have used out of Simple Mobile Tools is the Dialer. It allowed me to make my old phone usable for calls again. The phone, which runs an outdated release of LineageOS and doesn't receive updates, develope…
Aaah that does it, thanks. My phone started having the exact same issue the other day. Finding a fix was on my to do list, and you saved me some time, thanks!

#25Latest version in F-Droid of Calendar is dated 2023-10-08. I haven't checked whether that version exfiltrates user's data. I'd be more concerned about any subsequent versions.

#26A friendly reminder: it would be better to duplicate a repository instead of forking it.
GitHub does not show forked repositories in search results, and I recall reading an article that forked repositories got deleted when the user gets blocked by the original author (though I can't find the exact article).

#27I have been using eOS for years without any of the Simple Mobile apps. I have checked them out on occasion and I wouldn't call them "bad" but I have always been able to find more capable open source apps that fit my needs better. Just one example, I've used Material Files for years and it has quite a few features not found in Simple File Manager.

I stopped looking when I installed e/OS.
Their default Gallery app is adequate for my needs and integrates well with the camera and messaging app and has never nagged me to upgrade to the "pro" version.
I'm pretty sure it is a modified version from Android open source/Lineage.

Gallery [0] and Glimpse (byLineageOS) [1] are some good choices, both designed with Material You.
I use the first one on a daily basis.

#29Everyone has a price...
I am more concerned about the licensing issues.
Seems that the original author recieved some external contribution in GPLv3.

#30Just wanted to say thank you for doing this. I was just looking for some replacements for Simple Mobile Tools replacements the other day.
I wish you the best and hope you get enough community financial support to continue the project indefinitely.
