Obligatory note for those that haven't read/retained the news: Simple Mobile Tools was sold to ZipoApps - an Israeli company that specialises in buying and monetising popular apps.

Fossify is the fork of the Simple Mobile Tools repos, and they're gradually getting through each app and re-releasing them under the new name.

Thanks for sharing. Nice.

Looking forward seeing it on F-Droid. https://search.f-droid.org/?q=fossify&lang=en

I use Obtainium to install directly from the repo.

[–] lemmyreader@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Interesting option. Didn't know this was possible.

[–] DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 6 points 7 months ago

Yeah - it's pretty capable, actually. Regexes and stuff, to make sure you get the exact APK you want.

Any reason to try something something else than VLC?

[–] DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not necessarily, and I tend to find VLC is still the better media player.

I was sharing more for the interest of those that were using the original Simple Mobile variant, and were waiting for the forked version to be released.

I used VLC in the past but switched to the simple music player after having too many bugs and crashes with VLC on my phone.

I'll give this one a go. I was on PowerAMP for years ever since I got my first Android phone, a HTC Hero on Android 1.5! Recently I changed to Musicolet. I don't think it's open source, but it is privacy focused, as it doesn't have any features that access a network.

Plays flac. Hopefully the player will be able to output to external DAC bypassing Androids resampling machine (in the future).
