It took me some moments to figure out that this is an Android launcher. Nice. I guess it will be on droid at some point.

It's already on F-Droid if you meant that.

I usually just search for "fossify" and they all come up.

Yeah I did that and found plenty of Fossify apps but not the launcher. I also tried to update the repositories and search again but to no avail.

I also searched Duckduckgo and the F-Droid website but did not find it like that either.

You have to add the IzzyOnDroid repo to F-droid, it has more up to date Fossify apps.

Ahh I see. I'm not using that so that's why I didn't see it, thanks for the heads up :-)

It didn't happen with SimpleMobileTools but it might happen with Fossify:

A Custom ROM that replaces the stock apps with this suite would be just a wonderful idea! I'd love to see this happen. If anyone wants to collaborate on such an idea, let me know.

They would need to fix the SMS app first (lots and lots of bugs, not the least of which is that it likes to split MMS group chats up into separate 1 on 1 threads with every single participant as soon as you reply to the group)

Thats a setting you can change, and not a bug but the intentional default behavior because MMS is much more expensive than SMS in many parts of the world

I didn't realise (or more likely I forgot) that Fossify forked the Simple Mobile apps.

It was. Fossify is now a suite, forked from the "Simple Mobile Tools" apps suite, after it was sold to ZipoApps. You can check the discussion thread here:

Yes. "Simple Mobile Tools" the makers of all "simple" apps weee bought by ZipoApps a while ago and made propietary so some people forked all their apps and called them Fossify.

I tried it and it's pretty simple and nice. If it gets swipe up gesture for folders and an option to run the first app on tap on the folder, and custom icons, I can finally switch from my old Nova setup.

I downloaded it but I'll just watch for updates for now. First thing I tried, I wasn't able to do.

I tried to put a folder of apps on the quick bar (or whatever it's called) at the bottom of the screen.

It defaults to phone, messages, browser, play store, and camera. I tried putting phone and messages in a folder and it would only let me do that if it was actually on the home screen. Even doing that and trying to drag it into the bar didn't work.

I'm still glad for this and hope it improves, I just can't use it yet.

Edit: looks like it's already a logged issue: github.com/FossifyOrg/Launcher…
