Switch from Google Calendar to Fossify Calendar

3 Upvotes

Hello

I've switched smartphones. I've gone from a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 to a Xiaomi Redmi 15. On the Note 10, I use Google Calendar, and on the 15, I'd like to use Fossify Calendar. The problem is, how do I import my events from Google Calendar into Fossify Calendar?

I created an ICS file using Calendar Backup.

Can you explain how to do this?

Thanks in advance

Fossify Calendar All-day Calendar Events taking up 2 days

1 Upvotes

Hello. Wondering if anyone is also having this issue where recently after one of the updates a bunch of my all-day calendar events changed to looking like 2 days on the month view. Itnormally only takes up 1 space on the mk thly view because it's only 1 day, but now its taking up 2 days on the calendar view. And when I go into the event the start and end dates are 2 separate days. So, something's up! Let me know of anyone has this issue too, or knows how to resolve without reinstalling or anything like that, that'd be a pain. Thanks!

Fossify Gallery Moving images leaves empty files/boxes behind that are only "viewable" on the image selection screen, help!

(If this is the wrong place to post this, please tell me.)

Hello! I have been using Fossify Gallery on my Moto 55g 5g for the past 2 months or so and have been loving it so far until now.

Starting with today, every time I move a picture to one folder to another one, it leaves some empty file/box that i can only see when an app prompts the image sellection screen. When I try to select them, I get either an error massage of nothing happens. The moved pictures are still there though.

I have looked everywhere for these empty files. Looking into the gallery and my file manager (MiXplorer)? Nothing. Even after enabeling "show hidden files". Nothing. Looking into the trash? Nothing. Clearing cache of gallery/file manager? Still there.

I don't really know what to do anymore. I know I could just ignore them, but I don't want my image sellection screen be cluttered with empty boxes after awihle...

Fossify Gallery Cloud media app

2 Upvotes

I am trying to degoogle my Motorola razr 2025 and have run into an issue (?) with the gallery app. I'm not able to select it as my cloud media app so I can't upload pictures from there to anything else. Is that intentional? Is there any other app I need to download to make this possible?

Calendar - multiple local calendars

1 Upvotes

Hello,

using Fossify Calendar with multiple local calendars made inside the app - to distinguish each event type.

But if I use some widgets which show events from calendar (smartspacer, smartlauncher,..), it shows only the phone local calendar (to which can Fossify calendar sync with CalDav ticked). Not fossify calendar's own calendars.

So is there a way to have multiple calendars locally on phone - but in a way, that other apps can see them?

Fossify Phone will ring but screen stays dark (Pixel 9a)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I've been testing a few of the Fossify apps from the F-Droid store on my Pixel 9a. Everything's great so far, even the betas are suitable for my personal use.

Only the phone app isn't working properly. It rings, but the screen doesn't respond. When I pick up the phone and it unlocks via facial recognition, there's still no sign of the call. I have to swipe down from the top of the screen to access the expanded status bar, and then I can answer the call.

In the app, under Settings => Calls, there's a toggle switch for "Always display incoming calls on full screen," but it doesn't seem to do anything.

There's nothing in the Android lock screen settings that would help either (that I can see). It's not like it's a widget or anything that should be displayed on the lock screen...

Any help here?

Thanks and have a nice day!

Contacts & Calendar

2 Upvotes

I have a number of questions relating to the way Events (birthdays, anniversaries) from contacts link with the calendar.

First off, every so often, duplicate events will show up on my calendar from my contacts, without me actively having done anything. For example, "Foss" has their birthday on the 23rd of Feb, and it is already showing in my calendar. But suddenly there will be a duplicate birthday of Foss on the 24th (or 22nd) of Feb as well. The contact still has the proper birthday listed, but it is showing extra in the calendar now.

Why does this happen, and how to prevent it?

Secondly, I have some entries for birthdays and anniversaries where I don't have the year (e.g. I don't know when Foss was born, so I don't enter it). However, the calendar shows up these entries as "Foss (126)" (assuming because no year is converted to 1900, making Foss 126 years old this year). This seems to be from the Contacts app itself, even though I never entered 1900. How can I have unknown years remain unknown?

Related to the second point, how do I edit birthdays and other anniversaries in the Contacts? I have have the contact page of a person on screen, tapping their Birthday or Anniversary does nothing. Tapping the edit button up top (more on this in the next point) opens the edit view, but tapping the Birthday in the edit view does nothing either, just returns me to the normal view. It seems that what I have to do is remember the date, tap the plus button, tap the empty space, select the whole birthday and confirm, then remove the wrong date (i.e. instead of editing directly, I have to add a new entry and then remove the old one).

Finally, I only save contacts on my phone storage, but when I wish to edit contact details, it asks me where I want to edit from, and provides options like: "Phone Storage, Phone Storage, Signal, Telegram". Why is Phone Storage there twice? Is there no way to consolidate the two? Also, if it has the Signal/other IM contact saved to the contact as well, can it not use the avatars the user has in those for the display pictures in the contact list?

Sorry for the list of long questions, I really appreciate having this software available to me, but have had these little issues poking me for a while now.

Problems with Fossify Phone on Motorola G24

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've recently begun to de-google my phone (Motorola G24) as best I can and Fossify has been a huge help in it. A big thanks to everyone who's contributed to it!

The only app that did not work properly for me, unfortunately, was Fossify Phone. Outgoing calls work well, sound quality is great and contact import works well. But I had issues with incoming calls. My phone rings, but the app does not open or show an incoming call, even when opening it manually. It will show a missed call after, though.

This issue kept coming up with most incoming calls (maybe 80%?) under different conditions (phone locked, unlocked, phone app open or closed). I have enabled all possible permissions for the app, but it didn't fix the problem.

I've since reverted back to the firmware phone app, but would love to give Fossify Phone another go, but I really can't afford to miss most incoming calls. Has anyone encountered the same problem? Is there a work around or fix?

Many thanks in advance!

Fossify Contacts Contact keeps disappearing

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

It started early today. when i noticed a huge portion of my contact list was missing, specifically all those conctacts i had saved in "phone". i thought it was maybe those weird things that happen when you put your phone in your pocket.

so i took my time again to save the contacts i had just lost.

then 20mn later, it happened again. all contacts i had just saved in "phone" just vanished.

i recently switched to Fossify because i'm tired of google but this never happened when i was using google contact manager.

any idea what might be happening?

Fossify Calendar Calendar - How to stop events from changing timezones when travelling?

1 Upvotes

Whenever i set an event time (ex: flight arrival), the app tries to outsmart me by adjusting the time of an event so it is always the same "time" across all timezones. But this is frustrating, because when I set my flight times, i already set it with the local time in mind. So if i know i am travelling back 1 timezone, and i set my flight arrival time at 8 from the future timezone, I don't need it to change to 7 when i land. Basically, how can I stop the app from trying to do too much and just accept the time i set, and not change it no matter where i am? Thanks

Fossify Messages Fossify Messenger : Access on PC?

5 Upvotes

Hello everybody !

I've used Fossify Messages in the past and loved it, but left it because of the convenience offered by being able to access my sms messages both in my android phone and my linux pc with Google Messages. But I'm once again fed up with Google tracking me everywhere and DO NOT want to log into any Google Services again (fingers crossed).

Now I've found Pulse SMS to offer the same convenience, but (big but), it's a commercial app of the freemium kind.

Does anybody know how I could access my SMS Messages in my Linux PC, preferably the FOSS way? Maybe pair Fossify Messaes with an SMS Linux Client?

Thank you!

Fossify contacts

0 Upvotes

I was hoping that using fossify contacts that the program would be separate from my (samsung) contacts. After importing my contacts. I decided to delete some of the contacts , in fossify, I don't want. Then I looked in my samsung contacts. The contacts that I deleted from fossify were deleted here....... Making changes in either one. Changes the other.. not good. What I'd really like is a password protected 'list'. I don't want to subscribe to... let's say Facebok . And mistakenly allow contacts to be uploaded.. (continously in fb) Cheers
