@ai6yr Seriously... We can't maintain an app for one of the most basic features of the phone...?

Anyway, Samsung Messages is what I use, so I guess I'm looking for suggestions for a replacement now, if you know of any. 💀

I use QUIK from F-Droid. It does most everything I've needed it to.

QUIK SMS | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

Open source replacement to the stock SMS app on Android. A revival of QKSMS.

@onedawnconstant @jack Curious if this will work post-Google lockdown. Looks like Google is looking to basically own everything on Android.

@ai6yr @jack At that point microwaving your phone would be the best solution. Once google does their BS, there's no going back, just abandon ship.

I'm not even sure GrapheneOS would survive, let alone LineageOS. There is no android without non google approved apps.

@onedawnconstant @ai6yr @jack given GrapheneOS now has Motorola partnership, I think they're in for the long haul. The AOSP base system isn't keeling over just yet.
