Fossify Gallery (fork of Simple Gallery), Fossify File Manager (fork of Simple File Manager) and Fossify Calendar (fork of Simple Calendar) are now available for download on F-Droid.
(Simple Mobile Tools suite was acquired by an Israeli adware company)
About Fossify: Fossify is all about community-backed, open-source, and ad-free mobile apps. A fork of the SimpleMobileTools, which is no longer maintained, and we’re here to continue the legacy, bringing simple and private tech to everyone.
Hopefully they get to Simple Launcher soon. I switched to that because Nova Launcher seemed to he dead and I couldn’t find a better open source alternative. I certainly will take suggestions if someone knows something better on fdroid.
Been using KISS Launcher very happily. Worth a look.
Lawnchair also works, if you want the stock android look
Abandoned, unfortunately.
I’m using Lawnchair.
Thanks for the recommendation, unfortunately it seems that one is no longer maintained either.
How do you like it?
I kinda want to try it because you can supposedly import and export your icons / shortcuts to apps. I kinda want to be able to like save a folder of urls so that they are viewable from the launcher, but I am not sure if that will be doable. The idea is that hopefully there would be a way to take a folder of bookmarks from exported firefox and make them easily accessible and organized from the launcher.
I guess I should just try it out and see.
