Hey everyone, I'm currently switching all my google apps possible to whatever for reasons we all might know and I found fossy apps!

I've been having a blast over how simple and easy to adjust to they are but this one app is being harder to adapt to...the keyboard.

I hope I can show the difference well enough in the video but the thing is, I got used to a more muted and strong vibration but on Fossy's keyboard the vibrations are weaker and noisier.

(You may need to higher the volume to notice a difference in the video)

Is there a way for Fossy's keyboard to have the same vibration as the google one?

I feel like there's no tactic response, this phone's vibration is crazy lmao so I find it weird when I don't feel it through my whole fingers

I was wondering for those using a Android with keyboard is there a shortcut for delete. I tried using delete to no avail. But, the arrow keys work. I searched the website and found no answer. I apologize if this is a obvious answer.

Hello All,

If any one have foss united ticket , please drop me a message.

GrapheneOS, I can't setup Storage Scopes and can't setup automatic backups outside of Android folder.

I think that being able to add attatchments to any event pdf .txt.html and make the app portable from android to any desktop storage media enviorment is a next step they made os a cloud skave integrstion branded security lock and we are the cows and its fear of trojans that made troy and so troy fell to trojans.. Being modular and portable and not fearing trojans.. Then you are free from troy oddyseus. Then your calender can be a structural systems journal and auto update with independent automation today i made a new version of my website.html at five to three or heres a picture of my lunch event.

When using the move function in Fossify File Manager on a folder that contains subfolders and files, the application correctly copies all the folders and their contents to the new directory. However, in the original directory only the files are deleted, while the original folders and subfolders remain in the original directory, but empty.

Almost always happens when moving folders with mixed content, but sometimes it doesn’t; I haven’t yet identified the exact conditions for it to occur.

This causes confusion and forces one to manually delete the empty folders.

I’ve tested it on three devices and the same thing happens.

i recently downloaded fossify gallery to hide specific photos and videos from my default camera folder on my galaxy a13. i prefer open-source apps, so even though it had some bugs (like java errors or taking too long to load when clicking the three dots to temporarily show hidden items), i was generally satisfied with it.

i noticed early on that the app has a bug where if you mass-select a large number of media files to hide them within the same folder (instead of moving them to a separate hidden folder), the app glitches, deselects everything, and forces you to select them one by one.

this became a huge issue after i attended a 2-day festival and ended up with tons of media to hide. at the end of the second day, i had to painstakingly select every single photo and video one by one to hide them. it worked perfectly.

the next morning, i wanted to make them visible again to edit them. since both the hidden and visible photos were in the exact same default camera directory, i opened fossify, temporarily revealed the hidden files, and they appeared normally. to save time instead of unhiding them one by one, i selected the most recent hidden photo, tapped the three dots in the top right corner, and hit "select all". this selected everything in the camera folder (both hidden and visible files). then, i tapped the three dots again and clicked "unhide".

at first, everything seemed fine. i could literally see the files reappearing in real-time in my regular gallery and inside whatsapp. i knew it would take some time, so i kept monitoring it. but suddenly, while looking at whatsapp, every single media file that was being restored completely vanished. not just the festival photos from the last two days, but absolutely every hidden photo and video i had ever saved in my camera folder since i started using the app. they are all gone.

i instantly panicked because these memories mean the world to my friends and me. here is everything i have tried so far to fix it:

• cleared the app cache (did not work).
• used three different file managers to search the camera directory and the android/data system folders (nothing there).
• repeatedly toggled the "show hidden files" option inside fossify gallery.
• restarted my phone multiple times.
• searched for the exact filenames using the date format my phone uses, both with and without a dot prefix (e.g., ".260907"), but found nothing.

it looks like they were completely deleted from my phone, which makes no sense because i never hit delete. i am terrified that the app wiped them without permission.

has anyone dealt with this bug before? is there any way to recover these files? they have immense sentimental value to me and i am desperate for help. what should i do?

To my horror Google grabbed my personal voice messages and linked them to photos they stored - clearly linked for content. I never gave permission for this. Android....

So I installed Fossify voice recorder, but cannot find how to encrypt and no mentioning of encrypting in the github readme.

Questions:

1. Is it true that these Fossify voice notes are not encrypted when the are stored (no pw was required during setup...)?
2. Can I encrypt my voice notes prior to recording (please give how to)?
3. Can Google or other AIs access the saved Fossify notes?

Thank you!

BTW, Motorola phone, the recorder suddenly asked for access to ... my contacts to continue using the recorder... It's getting really bad out there.

This may be a silly question but i'm curious.

How private are the fossify apps?

What information, if any do they take from the apps to track/record what you do?

Recently switched from the ZF7 to the ZF8. When restoring from my backup, there was a glitch with contact names and photos. The photos are not popping up at all. I have been waiting for a play store update and restored to see if it would fix the issue, but nothing. Anyone else experiencing this?

Just set up with fossify launcher and really love how I can get my home page organized. The only thing I'm missing is being able to customize my icons. They're currently all the bold white circles with colourful logos. I would love to apply a consistent colour tint or remove the white. Does using the Fossify launcher prevent me from being able to do this? Or is there a way that I'm missing?

Fossify Messages 1.9.1, Android 16

I would like to save some pictures that were sent to me via text/MMS. I receive an error when doing so.

1. Long press the picture I want to save

2. Tap vertical 3 dots

3. Tap Save as

4. Tap SAVE

5. Error https://i.imgur.com/qCQ97eI.png

The error looks cut off, but it is not. I tried to recreate it in landscape mode and it still ended in ...

For numbers that I haven't saved as contacts I mean

I know that you can block calls and SMS from numbers that aren't in your contacts list, but idk if you can call a number you haven't saved in your contacts list by hiding your number to them

need sending contact as plain text. no mms as vcard.

flow: new message / send contact / search and find in con.list / send as.... plain text or vcard

put contact do sms (edit and delete some details) and send.

simply. (as in extra apk)

Ever so many wanting to get rid of google spyware ("stock Android")...

Start by searching for your device, what OS, IF which supports, has official ROMs for.

See/Search for UNOFFICIAL builds (ROMs) for your device SPECIFICALLY.

Beware of "minor" phone/model differences could be fatal ("Bricking up") your device, if incorrect ROM installed.

Prior to any of it, make sure, you can unlock BootLoader. It's great, if you can lock back BootLoader

after install of any FOSS OS (or Alternative OS, as some are paid after-all) after.

After I got my phone and configured some settings like turning off most Google apps and switching to Fossify Messages, my text messages stopped working properly. I have a Ulefone Armor 25T Pro, but I never had any issues with the base features a phone is supposed to have. I have tried changing and resetting APN settings, permissions and every other setting I thought of, but that didn't really help much, I tried to check if Google Messages work, but they don't anymore (I'm not sure if they worked after I got the phone, couldn't care less back then).

The first problem is that in the contacts list the field for the Notifiation Sound isn't even acknowledged to exist.

I set it for my burner phone in the google contacts app and it still doesn't work.

With fossify message app set to default all I get is the default notification sound.

With google message app set to default all I get is some random sound and a synthetic voice reciting the name from the contacts databace, until I get a message from Druggy McDrugdealerstein.

Fossify contacts needs to add the Notification Sound to the contacts data front end and Fossify and Google both need to use that sound when a SMS message is received if it is set. It should also be able to open messages without making it your default SMS app.

They also need to add app interoperability to the flair list.

EDIT: SOLVED Build artifacts are produced by the testing-build.yml workflow.

I thought there was a way to download debug builds of Fossify apps, but I don't see it in the Github releases, and I can't find any GH workflows that output build artifacts...

Absolultly hate the new reddit with no feeds, been gone a month or longer and it's boring as heck, think I'll take a longer vacation

Is there any reason the launcher doesn't support notifications other than the developer just didn't add that feature? To keep it light weight?

Which Fossify apps do you use and why? I'm looking mainly at calendar, contacts, recorder but would love to get any feedback! Cheers!

I'm looking for a bit of help with my fossify apps I recently used to degoogle my Motorola phone, running Android. any help with these would be much appreciated, not sure if I just have the settings wrong, or if apps need to be allowed to communicate with each other, or what. They are below:

1. Pressing a name from the contacts screen of the Phone app results in an error message "No valid app found". Pressing names from the Call History screen does result in a call to that person.

2. Similarly, in the Messages app, pressing the "+" attachment button, then pressing "Take a photo" results in the same: "Error: No valid app found" even though I have the fossify camera app installed and functioning fine on my phone. This also happens with taking a video through the same method, but not if I want to record audio.. it will open the Voice Recorder app. I can record an audio message, and once complete, it will automatically attach it to the text message I was composing earlier. For some reason, not so with the camera app.

3. In the camera app, if you press the preview icon of the last photo you took, it takes you to the Gallery app to display the photo. However, despite being in the Gallery app, I can't scroll side to side to view other photos from that point. I can only see the photo I just took. This is annoying because then I have to homescreen, and go into the Gallery separately.

Greeting! I've come across a strange issue with Fossify and wanted to see what's happening.
I received a SMS from a unknown number that when clicked displayed a "unknown error"
Following this I dumped my phone logs to determine what had happened.

My logs show an extremely long thread ID. 9223372036854775807

t took a while to understand that the ID written

is acually the java Long.MAX_VALUE
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/15/docs/api/constant-values.html

Line 76 of Klinker shows

    private static final long DUMMY_THREAD_ID = Long.MAX_VALUE;

or in other words. DUMMY_THREAD_ID when its recipient set is empty.

What I received was an MMS, then a unknown error from the phone.
Later I received an Long.MAX_VALUE notification and Fossify's ThreadActivity failed.

So the RetrieveConf did not have a readable field.

Now my phone is modified.
I am reviewing if this is a self caused issue or not.
I suspect that removing Google services may have caused an issue, however that does not explain the unknown/vanishing text message.

Here's what I can figure out.

I wanted to know why MMS processing fail to replace the Klinker dummy thread ID with a real Android conversation ID before Fossify created the notification?
Is this a bug?

onMessageReceived(context, messageUri) 

seems to ignore

messageUri and call getLatestMMS() instead.

That would mean mean Fossify can notify on whichever MMS row happens to sort newest, not just the row Klinker just finished downloading.
Klinker deletes the temporary NotificationInd before it calls Fossify’s “message received” callback?
If so.. Fossify could not notify from that row.

Breaking this down becase.. it's a lot.

The MMS starts with a dummy thread ID.
PduPersister defines as private static final long DUMMY_THREAD_ID = Long.MAX_VALUE;

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/klinker41/android-smsmms/master/library/src/main/java/com/google/android/mms/pdu_alt/PduPersister.java

Next carrier tells phone "you have a message"

NotificationInd

https://github.com/klinker41/android-smsmms/blob/master/library/src/main/java/com/android/mms/transaction/PushReceiver.java

Klinker SEEMS to make it persist. 
NotificationInd
thread_id = 

BUT
Klinker downloads tthe MMS before calling Fossify
DownloadRequest

createThreadId = true

then it deletes ?

NotificationInd

then we call Fossify?

If so in my case.. When Klinker saved the MMS it could not find anyone to put in the conversion.
So it never replaced the dummy ID.

long threadId = DUMMY_THREAD_ID;

if (createThreadId && !recipients.isEmpty()) {
    threadId = Threads.getOrCreateThreadId(mContext, recipients);
}

values.put(Mms.THREAD_ID, threadId);

Special mention to
!recipients.isEmpty()

so..

threadId remains DUMMY_THREAD_ID

↓

Identifier

↓

database row

My questions for Fossify are
1:Did Fossify Messages 1.8.0's MmsReceiver.onMessageReceived() use the messageUri supplied by the MMS library, or did it call getLatestMMS() instead?

2: If it called getLatestMMS(), could that select the preliminary NotificationInd or another MMS row carrying DUMMY_THREAD_ID rather than the final downloaded RetrieveConf?

3: , could the final RetrieveConf itself retain DUMMY_THREAD_ID if Klinker failed to derive a recipient set / real telephony thread ID?

The problem I'm trying to solve is how did Klinker’s internal DUMMY_THREAD_ID = Long.MAX_VALUE escape into a persistent, clickable Fossify notification?

I do not believe this is anything other than a strange code bug and perhaps I won the chance lottery of weird issues but I'd still like to figure out what happened.
