Looks like a long term contributor is forking the projects

The new organization is at https://github.com/FossifyX. For now all the apps have updates disabled, i'm quite open to alternatives for all EXCEPT Gallery, so i hope the fork goes well, at least from the discussions it looks like it's off to a decent start.
Of note, the apps on FDroid are still uncrapped so you can still take them from there.
oh man, it's the QuickPic fiasco all over again. at least this time the apps can be forked by someone.
Thank goodness lol. That was tragic.
omg quickpic
a blast from the past that I forgot about
I don't even use SM apps (I've tried a few and they're great for simple, straightforward, no-BS, functional apps), and I'm very glad to hear there's already a fork.
So this just looks like the Community has to take care of the projects and/or find alternatives
That one doesnt have the security vulnerability and I think it is also better. But they are pretty much equal.
I prefer Simple Gallery though, it is pretty great
Very basic, I personally use ACR phone for call recording, with disabled internet permissions. The Dev asked on Reddit about opensourcing the App and got negative responses, so maybe unlikely.
Currently unmaintained but awesome. I hope it gets revived.
My favourite: Mint Calculator
AOSP SMS/MMS, Quik Sms
Deku SMS supports encryption. This is not a replacement for secure messengers, metadata is still a mess, but it is pretty cool.
AOSP SMS is poorly hard to find. That would be great on F-Droid. It also uses old libraries.
All these look way better and have unit transformations.
Some apps have no good replacement
Also in my opinion just the best. The Amaze Videoplayer and tools are great though.
That is the better version with some enhanced features.
I just got way better results than using Etar. The Widget is great too.
Etar is my go to calendar app as well, pair with the ICSx5 and I just works.
Man, Simple Gallery is so good. We really always lack a good FOSS Gallery app.
I felt the same way. Based on this alternatives suggestions post, I installed Aves and it looks quite promising.
The interface looks nice but I'm not too keen on the network and location permissions. I really liked Simple Gallery for just a "show my folders" view.
Ah, bollocks.
This is particularly bad because there are really no reliable open-source SMS apps anymore.
What about QKSMS?
I love it. Used it for years. But it really hasn't worked properly for the past maybe three years now. Read some of the reviews on Google Play. The F-Droid version misbehaves the same way. I've considered forking and working on it myself, but I don't know enough.
Oh, i see :/ These problems never really occurred to me, but now that you mention it - probably time to switch to QUIK.
Well.. Time to change the calendar app
