I’ve been wanting to diversify my set of apps for a while now, and the recent purchase of SMT by ZipoApps finally gave me the push to do so.
Right now I’ve replaced my gallery with Aves, my file manager with Material Files, and my voice recorder with Record You.
And that’s about it. I still need a replacement for Simple Dialer and Simple SMS Messenger (Contact You doesn’t support MMS and it would be really nice to have MMS support), Simple Calculator, and Simple Notes (looking specifically for an app with a dedicated widget like the one SN has).
Can anyone recommend something for the apps I’m still missing?
In case you haven’t followed the recent developments with Simple Mobile Tools: the entire set of apps was forked by Naveen Singh and is now called FossifyX - at least for now, there is a debate going on for which final name to adopt.
In other words, stick to the F-Droid version of Simple Mobile Tools until F-Droid picks up the FossifyX branch, and continue from there. With any luck, you won’t have to change any of the tools you’re currently using.
They are forked, it was mentioned in the discussion
For the moment uninstall PlayStore version and replace them with the F-Droidversion
Calculator++ may not have a widget but a floating mode. Which is equally if not more usable.
I went with Unitto for calculator
I’m trying notally for notes right now, seems to be good enough for what I need (mainly checklists for shopping and very occasional notes) and has a widget. No idea how the widget compares to SN though
For dialer > Koler Message > Partisan SMS Qksms with encryption
Markor for notes and task (Do not have that kind of widget
