Add Launcher: KISS Launcher: Fast and small Launcher, mainly relies on an app-search-bar, which makes it very easy to open up apps quickly. (Open Source, of course) https://kisslauncher.com/

Add SMS/MMS-App: Signal: "Signal possesses SMS/MMS capabilities. Using it as your default SMS-app has the advantage of having your SMS and your online-messaging-service integrated within one app.*

Proposed changes: Silence hasn't been updated for a long time. The same thing applies to kboard... Maybe they're no longer active?

Additional details: Open Camera can be downloaded from F-Droid. The same thing applies to the following:

  • All "Simple-" apps. (Simple Alarm Clock for example)
  • Silence
  • Hacker's Keyboard
  • kboard (I think)
  • OpenBoard
  • Standard Notes ("S. Notes")
  • RiotX
  • Conversations
  • Probably a few others that I didn't check.

For Silence, the master branch was updated 5 days ago. Granted it was a translation, but it at least shows someone is maintaining the repo. The unstable branch is slightly older at one month ago. Development of new features might be slow, but I wouldn't go as far as saying it isn't inactive yet.

As for KBoard, the last commit was over a year ago so I think it's safe to say it might be abandoned. To try and confirm this I opened an Issue in the repo.

Thanks for the fixes and for finding all the F-Droid apps!

Edit: "isn't active" to "isn't inactive"

F-Droid fixes:

  • Open Camera: fixed
  • All "Simple-" apps. (Simple Alarm Clock for example)
  • Silence: already had F-Droid linked, package org.smssecure.smssecure (link)
  • Hacker's Keyboard: fixed
  • kboard: fixed
  • OpenBoard: fixed
  • Standard Notes ("S. Notes"): fixed (in Web-based)
  • RiotX: half fixed. for Riot I moved the existing app (Riot.im) from where it was in Web-Based to Hangouts in Mobile Apps. Would you suggest we put Riot.im, RiotX, or both?
  • Conversations: fixed

Thanks again for finding these
