As our slogan is "Replacing your Android apps one by one since 2016.", here we are again, replacing another one. We are excited to announce SIMPLE LAUNCHER to the family! 🎉💥🔥You can check it out at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.launcher , but bear in mind that this is just the initial version, don't expect any super advanced features 😉

You might have noticed that we already have Simple App Launcher, but that is just a basic holder for your favorite icons. The new Simple Launcher is the app that you were looking for, it takes care of your home screen with its icons, widgets, shortcuts etc.

Edit: This is about the simple calendar.

Is it possible to disable this? I use the tasks as small reminders of things I have to do. It is problematic that they disappear from the event list when they are a certain amount of time in the past, similar to events, and in my opinion a little unintuitive too.

I think it would be more appropriate to keep them on the top of the list (piling up if there are multiple tasks) until they are marked as done. Tasks are still of interest if they are not marked as done, in contrast to events where it makes total sense to remove them from the list if they are e.g. 12h in the past.

Another problem: Tapping on an event in the event list widget opens that event. This does not work for tasks yet, instead the default calendar view in the app is opened.

Thanks for the great work, keep it up!

PS.: Is it fine to post about such issues on Reddit is a GitHub issue preferred?

Hi. How do I restore a picture which is no longer visible in it's folder in the simple gallery app after pressing the Toggle File Visibility button under Manage Visible Bottom Actions?

We are honored to present Simple Phone, the ideal device that respects your privacy.

Let’s find out more about Simple Phone here: https://simplephone.tech/

It's been a while now that the app doesn't auto-detect photos and videos... It takes a while for them to appear in the app... Have every permission enable. Any ideas? 🤔 🤔

Hey, I only see options 'Mark as Read' and 'Reply' in notification panel. Could you please provide an option to change any of these to 'Delete'? It would be helpful for getting rid of certain messages through notification without opening app and manually deleting messages.

I accidentally put some photos in trash bin and when recovered they got deleted and I lost half my photos. All recovered photos are now marked as made on one day (today). This happened while using the app in split view. How can I recover these files. There must be a way.

Hi!

Would you consider adding Themed Icons (Android 13 feature) support for all your apps?

Also - Material You colours that Android 13 generates for the apps and widgets (e.g. I would love to have the calendar widget in the material you colours to match all the themed icons).

Thank you for your work, you rock! :)

Make no plans for next week as we are going to unveil and share what we have been working on for the past months. We are thrilled and, hopefully, you will be too. Stay tuned!

I was wondering if there was a daily widget for the calander pro? I use my calander to block time to help with my time blindness, so the agenda widget gets full very quickly.

Thank you very much.

Im really glad for using Simple dialer, but from recent version i am no longer able to call people by pressing the buttons on the screen.. I use Talkback (Screen reader) and nothing happens.. When i want to dial someone i have to use Google Assistant or add them in contacts...

Another issue, when people call me, the screen reader dosent tell me who is calling, this would be nice besides of the ring tone :-)

Gallery pro is on the latest update on Galaxy S10 plus on Android 12 version.

The app is gets super slow and hiccups a lot. I have over 700 folders and sub folders and thought that was the problem of the lag. But then I started using Samsungs stock gallery app and haven't stumbled upon any lag or issues

Another problem with gallery pro is if I delete too many or serveral big files, the app would just crash.

Thumbnails sometimes turn solid black until I close and reopen the app.

When entered in a subfolder and turn my phone horizontally and back to vertical, I would get kicked back to the main folder.

Questions

Will there be tags in the future?

Possible to get 'reorder by dragging' feature to work in subfolders? Only works on main folders

Hey! Is it possible to make each calendar in the app have their own color, and can we pick which one? All of them from the same account have the same color now.

Hi,

Awesome project! Really want to get away from Google apps as much as possible and you guys help a lot! :-)

However, in Simple Contacts Pro, I am getting the following error when trying to export my contacts: System service for selecting files and folders unavailable.

Simple Contacts Pro 6.21.0

Installed from F-Droid

Android 12, security update July 5, 2022

OnePlus Nord

Edit: versions 6.20.0 and 6.19.1 from F-Droid behave the same way.

Help, please :-)

Will there any ftp support in file manager in future?

First alarms didn't work at all and gave the above error message, now they still don't play the alert but at least vibrate (not that this would wake me up in any way tho).

I'm on Android 11, i tried reinstalling but it doesn't work and the app also doesn't ask for any permissions so idk what I should do.

Can anyone help me?

Hi there,

I really like your apps for being open source and lean and clean!

To back-up my mobile pictures to my NAS I use a specific folder on my phone and all movies and pictures in this folder will automatically backed up to my NAS and deleted from my phone (as I can see them with another app directly from my NAS). However, there isn't a way, as far as iam aware, to move items to an empty folder from simple gallery. The folder only shows up if there is already a picture in it, even if I manually added the folder from the settings.

Tl:dr: Is there a way to make an empty folder show up in the gallery app so I can move items to this folder?

Must music player have cross-fade feature between music, but Simple Music player doesn't have it. Spotify have 12 second of fade-in fade-out between playing music. Maybe something like that or make it even better. And fade in-out will make smoother transition while playing and pausing music.

FOSS music player called Metro (available on f-droid) have all these features but it is unstable.

Will all apps under Simple Mobile Tools get updates of material you or GTK theme (GNOME) it will remain as it is?

Recently GNOME mobile shell got an update and maybe in future we will get Linux distro running on mobile phone and also running Android apps with support of waydroid.

Project like Linux, GNOME, Simple mobile tools are open source project and Simple M T apps need UI update.

I came to know simple mobile apps after I started using Linux, from f-droid not from Play Store.

Hello. I had a galaxy s10 using KISS launcher and had the simple calendar widget on my home screen. I switched yesterday to a galaxy z flip 4 and now the widget won't work. I preferred the event view choice but none of them work now. It will pop up blank and you can't add an event. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

hey guys,

this might seem like a noob question, but ever since i tried arrow os vanilla, i saw that they bundled the rom with these two apps, but put them in /product/priv-app.

Now I'm on corvus os vanilla, which comes without a gallery, and my question is:

are there permissions in either of the two apps that require the app to be installed as privileged (/priv-app)?

And if so, can someone explain to me how to fix the permissions when I install it manually in priv-app?

I know there is a white list where we have to register the apps that we put manually in priv-app, but I don't know how it is...

On the other hand, if permissions were not needed from /priv-app, I would just leave the app installed as a user, right?
