Simple Mobile apps have been very popular among FOSS enthusiasts. I’ve personally been using the Gallery, Contacts and the Phone app since a few years now. It’s a shame that it has come to this, will be on the lookout for their forks.

    Looks like the community is already forking the project. It would be cool if fdroid has a clean transition to the fork.

      That would be a terrible precedent…

      Oh we’ll just “cleanly” (silently) update to a different fork by a different dev.

      Thats exactly what we are trying to avoid google play “cleanly” updating our apps to the new, spyware apps

        Agreed

        F-Droid should halt updates if app stops being FOSS (which F-Droid is all about) and then introduce the most popular fork as a standalone app.
