Note that the fork Fossify Gallery is already available on F-Droid. The rest of the apps aren't yet.

Thanks to this debacle, I'll actually be trying it out.

What I have used out of Simple Mobile Tools is the Dialer. It allowed me to make my old phone usable for calls again. The phone, which runs an outdated release of LineageOS and doesn't receive updates, developed a problem. The screen would turn off when dialing or on a call. This prevented one from even hanging up. I experimentally installed Simple Dialer to see if the dialer app was the cause. (Because Simple Dialer was on F-Droid, and I had heard about Simple Mobile Tools.) It didn't help on its own. Then I went through the settings and saw one that disabled the proximity sensor during calls. I tried turning on the setting, and that did it.

This apparently used to be an option in the AOSP phone app: https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/80227/phone.... Simple Dialer has been forked as https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Phone.

Aaah that does it, thanks. My phone started having the exact same issue the other day. Finding a fix was on my to do list, and you saved me some time, thanks!

Wow, my phone does this sometimes, like once every 5 or 10 calls.
