Obligatory note for those that haven't read/retained the news: Simple Mobile Tools was sold to ZipoApps - an Israeli company that specialises in buying and monetising popular apps.

Fossify is the fork of the Simple Mobile Tools repos, and they're gradually getting through each app and re-releasing them under the new name.

Thanks for sharing. Nice.

Looking forward seeing it on F-Droid. https://search.f-droid.org/?q=fossify&lang=en

I use Obtainium to install directly from the repo.

Interesting option. Didn't know this was possible.

Yeah - it's pretty capable, actually. Regexes and stuff, to make sure you get the exact APK you want.

I'll give this one a go. I was on PowerAMP for years ever since I got my first Android phone, a HTC Hero on Android 1.5! Recently I changed to Musicolet. I don't think it's open source, but it is privacy focused, as it doesn't have any features that access a network.

Plays flac. Hopefully the player will be able to output to external DAC bypassing Androids resampling machine (in the future).
