QUIK SMS (Open source replacement to the stock #SMS app on #Android. A revival of #QKSMS.)

I've been using the beautiful #qksms app on Android for a while now. It works quite well but I have a little quibble¹ and upstream is abandoned.

Turns out there is a "revival" fork, called #quik. The issue tracker on GitHub doesn't exactly inspire confidence (many open, serious sounding bugs). Has anyone tried it? Is it good?

¹) When sending an SMS fails (happens frequently, cause I have bad reception), I don't get notified and there is no auto-retry.

#qksms , it sends text messages. No need to accept any terms or sign in. It just gives me access to my text messages, and let's me send them too. Like it should be.

Tien tien tien #QKSMS qui n'est donc plus maintenu, a un fork visiblement ​:nko_curious:​

#SMS #Quik #Android

Bon toujours pas de MMS avec certains contact sur #QKSMS ... ​:blobPikaGlare:​

@Zid_K proprietary softwares == haram
#zipoapps will takedown simple apps repo eventually.
#fossifyx forked all of it and gallary is avaialble in fdroid https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.gallery/
And calender currently in izzy repo
#Qksms is #foss https://f-droid.org/packages/com.moez.QKSMS/

sagen wir mal, ich mag auf einem nicht root #android 14 bevorzugt mit #fdroid, alternativ aber auch mit playstore und wenns sein muss auch gegen bezahlung apps steuern oder triggern.

beispielsweise #qksms sagen: erstell bitte jetzt eine sicherung.

was nimmt man dafür in 2023?

Welche Alternativen gibt es zu den #SimpleMobileTools bei #FDroid und teilweise im #PlayStore?

Ça y est : j'ai changé de tel et j'ai fait le grand pas pour degoogliser à fond :
@zaclys et #k9 pour les mails
#nextcloud via #zaclys pour le cloud
#fdroid pour le store (et #aurora pour 2/3 app)
#osmand pour la carto
#tusky pour masto
#qksms et #signal pour les messages
Je me sens liiiiiibre :ablobcatwobble:

J'ai l'impression que c'est le nouveau truc de #Google sms qui fait chier avec #QKSMS ​:blobfoxthonking:​

Fellow #foss and #floss enthusiasts, lately #qksms has been failing to send images to my contacts so I have, unfortunately, fallen back to G-Messages for communication. Due to this, I'm thinking of hosting my own #matrix server to use for my own personal communications with bridges for G-Messages and SMS since that's primarily what my contacts use. However, I'm not entirely sure if the work is worth it just for little ol' me (and maybe my partner). Thoughts? Experiences?
#opensource #linux

#FDroid and #QKSMS to the rescue! Quick install, no terms to accept, and a slick and user-friendly interface.

Love #FOSS!

@glacasa
Pour les SMS, il y a #QKSMS
https://www.f-droid.org/fr/packages/com.moez.QKSMS/

Bon visiblement #QKSMS est hors de cause, j'ai testé avec l'app de base et c'était pareil, tout refonctionne après un reboot ... Android ça me fatigue ...

Bon okay ... c'est reparti les MMS ne partent plus avec #QKSMS ... ... putain c'est chiant ... j'ai envie de finir sur l'app de Google ​:pikaunamused:​

Et comme appli SMS libre, vous utilisez quoi ?
J’utilise #QKSMS depuis des années, mais je me demande s’il y a mieux.
Il me manque surtout l’export des MMS, en fait.

@csolisr Yes, for example #QKSMS https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.moez.QKSMS/ which is much better than anything Google ever made.

@kat Indeed. Also: most SMS I get are from companies (e.g. the post office) and I was happy to see these in #Signal rather than in Google's #SMS app, which keeps harassing me so that I send them more personal data (every single time it's launched).

Now I switched to #QKSMS which seems good. Having to switch to yet another app in order to handle SMS securely doesn't improve anything.

Some personal preferences for #opensource and #privacy-friendly apps, services, etc. (desktop and Android), in case anyone is interested.
