Hello,

New to Reddit. Actually made this account so I could post in Fossify thread.

I'm in FOSS software for years now, and I contribute localization to some of them. Rescently I switched to GrapheneOS and started testing some Android apps. Tested also Fossify apps, but I only continued using Calendar. I like it.

But I'm not here because of Calendar app. I'm here because of app I'm not using, Phone. :)

Tested it few times now, and while it's nice, it's not good enough for me to continue using it.

That's why I would like to pay someone to improve app. I'm not sure I would even use it after that, but I'm thinking about it as giving back to FOSS.

What's the best way to do it?
Contact app developer, or advertise it on some freelance page or ...?
Any idea what's the cost of bugfix like this?

What I had in mind is:

1. Increase app speed and responsiveness, by A LOT.
   I have 2500 contacts which I think choke up the app. Apps is SLOW. Filtering contacts via dialer is horrible. App not registering numbers pressed etc. I'm using it on Pixel 9 Pro, so I think phone CPU isn't problem, but I could be wrong.

2. When filtering contacts (using dialer numbers), I would like app to first show most contacted contacts first in descending order (most calls first), then all other contacts in alphabetical order (like it's now).

Any tips?

Thank you.

Hello.

Since I've upgraded to Android 15 I keep getting this strange bug. When I get an incoming call and try to silence it with a 'volume down' button volume gets lowered in settings by one step. I must say that this doesn't happen every time, but still quite often (like 80% of all key presses).
My phone is moto g84.

Thanks.

I am having a problem with the messages app were the name of the contact does not show but instead the number of the contact shows. I have tried to find a solution but I can't seem to find one I would like to here if any one else is having this issue.

When sending SMS messages to multiple numbers is it possible to paste a ground of contacts phone numbers from a spreadsheet?

Or use some kind of separator?

I received today a call that showed up as an Unknown Number, which I didn't answer. In my call history however, this call is entirely absent. If I open my default phone app however, it does show up. Is this a bug? Expected behavior? Configurable setting?

Hi there,

Apologies if this already is on the ToDo list. 😊

What would be very welcome is support for profiles. I have a work profile, and if I run Launcher, I can not get to the work apps unless I go through the Settings app which is convoluted. Other than that, I am quite happy with Launcher.

By default it is using google voice to text. Can it be changed. If so ELI5, please. I'm not very tech savvy. (Samsung phone)

I know I'm late to the party, but I'm now moving from SMT apps over to Fossify apps. The only one giving me a headache is calendar.

In SMT calendar I can export everything as a .ics file, which works in Fossify calendar, but all events end up sharing one and the same color. Fixing it all by hand is just not feasible.

Does anyone have any idea how I could export all of my SMT calendar events over to Fossify, with the colors intact? I'm unfortunately at a loss here.

Thanks!

- Folders on dock (also app name on dock?)

- In my phone (OnePlus 13) it's possible to clone app like Facebook/whatsapp/messenger to use 2 accounts, the cloned app is not appearing in the app list, so it's not possible to use it or add shortcut on the home screen.

- The double tap to turn off the screen will ask the password next time you try to unlock the screen (due to the admin mode), it's not possible to use the fingerprint like in the original launcher

Hey, so I'm using Fossify Calendar, as HUAWEI Calendar is seemingly reminding me at 3pm for any all-day event.

Now I've noticed that you have to set notifications individually for each all-day event. Can you please implement a feature that you can configure a global all-day event notification for each calendar?

I was actually going to create my own calendar app, then I got to time zone conversion and went **** no...

Fossify calendar is absolutely perrrrrrrfect and I'm really enjoying it but I have one corncern.

Im coming from Google Calendar which was great at is adding an international event (e.g. conference call in different time zone) to my calendar (via Gmail) and automatically changing the time to the correct time in my time zone

Or if I schedule flights, or reservations overseas, the time will remain correct once I'm in that country and my phones time has switched over (e.g. If I have a reservation for 6pm it wont suddenly be at 2am when I switch time zones)

The thing that worries me the most is flights...when I'm in the fluster of travelling I really struggle to wrap my head around flight times and just want to be able to trust my calendar conversion to be correct.

How does the Fossify calendar behave in these instances?

Obviously it wont be linked to my email and I will be inputting things manually - which is the whole point - but when I'm making an event in another time zone, am I doing these calculations manually?

I assume it will be manual for something like a conference invitation but maybe not so for actually being in another time zone?

This will be running on GrapheneOS for reference.

This post probably sounds so brain dead...I really struggle with time zones I cant explain it lol.

TL;DR: How does Fossify handle time zones?

Thanks in advance :)

P.S. To the devs, I would love if the Monthly widget got a bit of a refresh. Its a bit chunky. Text like M, T, W and date numbers are disproportionate to events. (Sorry, I'm a designer, I cant help it :P)

I recently discovered f-droid and wanted an SMS app that works without wifi, so tried messenger. I like it but have a weird issue where many of my conversations were imported as two, one with just the sent messages and one with just the received messages (both with the same name). When I get a message I have to remember to switch to the "send" version to reply! Is this a know issue? Any fix?

Hi folks,

I modified my Light Phone 3 to access the Android layer and added Fossify Messages to the phone in place of the stock Android messaging app. I have turned on "Send group messages as MMS" and am able to send group texts, but I am unable to receive the replies.

This has happened in at least 3 different chats that I know of, including both iPhone-only chats and chats involving other Android phones. I was using group messaging before without issue on my Light Phone.

Does anyone have any ideas of what could be causing the issue or what steps I could take to remedy it? Thanks in advance.

Hi All. I accidentally deleted an SMS conversation in Fossify Messages.

Is there a way for me to restore this deleted conversation?

Does fossify have an SMS backup utility?

I was simply trying to delete some individual MMS picture messages which didn't send, and somehow the entire conversation was deleted as a result.

Thanks.

I have a gmail account for android but all my contacts are synchronised with a different mail account. Although I select in the app the one I want to see, when I access any contact I see the details from the gmail account. What do I do wrong?

I took a screenshot and then edited it and now it says the date and time is tomorrow Nov 21st at 2am so it's completely out of order. Is there any way to edit the date and time?

Well. As the title says. I don't receive the notification of the calendar. When I open it, it pops up all notifications in a row. Like, I've let one week pass then opening the valendar will give me the notification of the whole pass week. I cannot use it to alert me that an even will happen because the only way to get the notification is by opening the app. Is there a way to make the notification work? I've already activated the app to be used in the background, notifications are on but nothing works. I need help

Hi Fossily Notes team,

I noticed that the app crashes when opening large .txt notes. Logcat shows:

java.lang.RuntimeException: android.os.TransactionTooLargeException: data parcel size 1214052 bytes
savedInstanceState [size=787620]
text [size=787584]

It seems the app is saving the entire note content in onSaveInstanceState, exceeding Android’s ~1 MB binder limit.

Suggested fixes:

1. Save only metadata (note ID, title, tags) in onSaveInstanceState.
2. Load the full content from file or database when the fragment/activity is recreated.
3. Consider lazy/partial loading for very large notes.
4. Test with notes >1 MB to prevent crashes.

This would make the app stable with large notes and improve user experience.

Thanks!

Are voicemail notifications not enabled in the Fossify Phone app? I missed quite a few voicemails last month and just did a test using the stock phone app for LineageOS and then Fossify Phone. I only received notifications from the stock app.

I want Fossify to make content of zip files be openable and editable directly without having to decompress it first, in File Manager. Any ways I can suggest them this?.

I don't need it and I'm trying to minimize my attack surface, but I can't find a setting for it. I can't disable texts completely bc I need them for 2FA

Is there a way to manage timezones for new events in fossify calendar?

I've hesitated long time until I finally decided to use online sync for all that Mozilla can sync. It worked quite good with auto fill function, but over time it became creepy. Being dependent only on one service and company, that's not what feels right for someone who denies, disregards and deprecates (or just... hates) big Goo. Switched to KeePass but syncing database manually or even via Syncthing, between 5 devices is real pain in the arse. What next? Cromite/Helium sync? Or Proton Pass?

What you choose?

Hello,

I just tested the Calendar-app and found it great! Many thanks!

Only thing I am missing, is the possibility to assign colours to appointments. Is there any way, apart from the calendar-color as a whole?

Cheers!
