if QKSMS still exists, it seems like a good replacement for the messaging app. That's what I used when I used Android a few years ago.

- hans_castorp 3y agoIt still exists. F-Droid also has alternative dialers, so I don't see how this is a big issue.
- magnat 3y agoQKSMS has not been updated for two years and has broken MMS support.
- Ruthalas 3y agoDo you have a suggestion for an alternative?
- magnat 3y agoI use custom fork of AOSP Messaging (on local LineageOS/microG build) with some minor UI tweaks and bugfixes. I have tried all other messaging apps on F-Droid, but every single one of them was broken in some way (mostly regarding MMS support or notifications while in deep sleep) or was missing a key feature (like delivery notifications). The problem with MMS is that there is no built in system-level support for the protocol on Android, and due to legacy of 3G network/WAP, the protocol is quite odd when compared to modern alternatives.
