I do not wish to use Google's Messages anymore. I've come across QKSMS, but I feel like I'm losing some features with their premium service. I've tried looking for the default AOSP app, but they're not available anywhere on GitHub, which makes it really hard to update periodically via Obtanium. I'd love to see apps similar to "Material Files" by zhanghai - which is almost similar to the AOSP File manager. I was also considering Signal, but I don't appreciate the fact that I'm supposed to provide a phone number.

Ps. I'd also appreciate contacts and dialer alternatives.

QKSMS is on Fdroid, and you can download the APKs on their GitHub as well.

What sort of features that you think you'll be missing?

QKSM is dead

although sadly true, it still works quite reliably for me at least.

Project /e/OS (Custom Android Rom) maintains their own version built into the Rom. Funny how I didnt know this and when I downloaded QKSMS just now, I was like "This looks oddly familiar"

What is broken that it needs to be updated to fix? I use it every day and it works fine.
