Does anyone know of an open-source alternative to Google’s “Messages” app, which takes care of SMS/text messages on my phone?
I was looking for open-source alternatives on PlayStore and F-Droid but can’t really find anything – most apps seem to target some extra purpose than simply handling SMSs.
(Edit: I’d like to stay away from the “Simple Mobile Tools” line because I don’t know if it’s open source, and I don’t like the way they promoted some apps – forcing users to update to pro and similar.)
Cheers!
You won’t find anything RCS. Google didn’t release any API, on’y their app.
Silence, and QKSMS are both great.
I’d say Silence is abandoned, it hasn’t been updated in 4 years.
Had not heard of Silence, Cheers!
It’s really annoying they haven’t made an RCS API public. Do you know if they’ve made any statement as to why?

too busy telling apple to open imessage to open rcs
Silence hasn’t been updated for 4 years. Don’t touch it.
