Preparing a megathread about android FOSS apps - Part one (Contacts, SMS & Dialer)
After read this thread, I have an idea. Why not build a megathread with the best and most reliable FOSS apps too help someone who want to join on the bright side of open source?
I want to know if you agree with that. And if you agree, I will create one thread per week to discuss the best options to use on android. Dont know nothing about iPhone, so, if you want contribute, lets go, say what you feel.
But, this require your help. Help from all communities. We (because this is not from me, this is from us) need to share thoughts, ideas and all things you want to say. Dont be shy. Upvote the comments you like and agree; disagree and tell why you disagree. This is will be different from others threads because this need a proper user opinion, and your opinions will be VERY important to build this. In short, your opinions and thoughts will be the fundamental source to build this.
I will read ALL comments to build this. Even if this has a million comments, I'm going to waste time reading it. Whatever it takes.
If you need help, use Exodus site too see if any app has trackers.
(Apps from Simple Mobile Tools will not be accpeted, because they was bought from a shady guy)
I'm going to divide this by threads, as I said.. After one week, I will open the second thread. This first topic will be to discuss:
#1 - Contacts, SMS and Dialer
>The next ones will be
spoiler
#2 – Calculator, Camera and Calendar
#3 – Manager files, Recorder and Gallery
#4 – Keyboard, Notes and Maps
#5 – Meteorology , Stores and social media
#6 – WebBrowsers and Important utilities
For now, this is my suggestions for this part one. Only on final (megathread) this is will be matters.
spoiler
>Contacts
- Right Contacts (from goodwy) – This app is only avaiable from PlayStore, however, the code is open as you can see here. Tell me if you agree with that, please. If you all disagree, I will delete this suggestions.
- Simple Contacts Pro SE – This is will not update anymore, however I put it because, for now, I guess it works. Is a fork from Simple Concacts (SimpleMobileTools).
>SMS
- QKSMS – If you like a minimal and simple sms app, you probably gonna like this.
- Right Messages (from goodwy) – Again, the code is open and you can see here. I like a lot these apps from goodwy.
>Dialer
- Right Dialer – Again, same thing from RightContacts and RightMessages. Code here.
- Koler – Simple and beautiful app dialer. I used it. However, dont have the option to block anonymous calls.
You're viewing a single thread.
Please, dont put links. Dont get me wrong, but if everyone will gonna put links, this is not help me. On top of that, that link is about EVERYTHING, and now the discussion is only about Sms, contacts and dialer FOSS apps. If you can help with your thoughts about this apps, I appreciate.
If that's your bar for accepting help you're actively soliciting, you're gonna have a bad time
Question: What is your favorite Mexican restaurant around specific city?
Response: Here is a list of all the restaurants in specific city.
I don't think some polite pushback on that is unwarranted.
Who are you and why are you using my phone? 😄 With only a few exceptions it looks like we have the exact same apps.
