StrypeyI'm really slow off the mark sometimes.Soon after I got my first Android device in 2022 and installed F-Droid, I started finding apps from;<a href="https://simplemobiletools.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://simplemobiletools.com/</a>They were so easy and pleasant to use that I promoted them here, encouraging anyone using using them to donate to the developer, Tibor Kaputa. I even considered buying the Simple Phone he was selling;<a href="https://archive.is/ejIq5" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.is/ejIq5</a>(1/3)<a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/Simple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Simple</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/SimpleMobileTools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SimpleMobileTools</a>

FOSStasticPSA: If you use the recently released Fossify keyboard, DO NOT REBOOT your device without switching to another keyboard first.Otherwise you might not be able to decrypt/unlock the device. You might have to do a factory reset to regain access and therefore loose whatever data (e. g. pictures) you had on the device.<a href="https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Keyboard/issues/59" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Keyboard/issues/59</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#android</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fdroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fdroid</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fossdroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fossdroid</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fossify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fossify</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/simplemobiletools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#simplemobiletools</a>

KelsonRemember the "Simple Mobile Tools" suite of Android apps? It used to be a great collection of basic apps that didn't slurp up your data, clog up your apps with advertising, or charge exorbitant prices. It isn't anymore.At the end of 2023, the suite was <a href="https://tgrush.bearblog.dev/simple-mobile-tools-falls-victim-to-zipoapps/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">sold to ZipoApps</a>, who proceeded to do all of those things. (This appears to be their business model: buy an app with a large install base and squeeze every last bit of monetization out of it while destroying its usefulness, fun, and credibility.)Seriously: They replaced the $2.99 one-time payment for the Pro version of Calendar with a $15/week subscription.Fortunately the apps were all GPL, and there's a <a href="https://github.com/FossifyOrg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">complete fork called Fossify</a>. They're still slowly rolling apps out to F-Droid and Google Play, with about 10 out so far.I use the <a href="https://hyperborea.org/reviews/apps/fossify-calendar/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">calendar</a> and <a href="https://hyperborea.org/reviews/apps/fossify-contacts/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">contacts</a> apps all the time, and the voice recorder is good for taking quick notes. I've also used the files, gallery and music player apps occasionally, but not enough to have a solid impression of them, and I haven't yet tried the phone or SMS apps.<a href="https://hyperborea.org/reviews/apps/fossify-replace-smt/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Fossify Apps: Replacing Simple Mobile Tools</a><a href="https://notes.kvibber.com/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> <a href="https://notes.kvibber.com/tags/fossify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fossify</a> <a href="https://notes.kvibber.com/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Android</a> <a href="https://notes.kvibber.com/tags/mobileapps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MobileApps</a> <a href="https://notes.kvibber.com/tags/simplemobiletools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SimpleMobileTools</a> <a href="https://notes.kvibber.com/tags/roteconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RotEconomy</a> <a href="https://notes.kvibber.com/tags/defaang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DeFAANG</a> <a href="https://notes.kvibber.com/tags/degoogling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DeGoogling</a>

digitalfoxFriendly heads up - Simple Mobile Tools was sold to ZipoApps¹, a company known for adding ads and privacy-invasive stuff. Their reputation is bad enough F-Droid preemptively turned off automatic updates², and the community has moved on to the Fossify organization, including Fossify Gallery³.It's unfortunate folks didn't step up to help before the sale⁴, but ah well - progress has been made now.¹ <a href="https://tgrush.bearblog.dev/simple-mobile-tools-falls-victim-to-zipoapps/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://tgrush.bearblog.dev/simple-mobile-tools-falls-victim-to-zipoapps/</a> ² <a href="https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/3142" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/3142</a> ³ <a href="https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fossify.gallery/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fossify.gallery/</a> ⁴ <a href="https://f-droid.org/en/2024/01/04/twif.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://f-droid.org/en/2024/01/04/twif.html</a> <a href="https://yip.vulpine.engineer/tags/SimpleMobileTools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SimpleMobileTools</a> <a href="https://yip.vulpine.engineer/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Android</a> <a href="https://yip.vulpine.engineer/tags/FDroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FDroid</a>
