Idk why I never heard of this one before but it got an update recently so it appeared in my Droid-ify feed and now I’m sharing it. Hopefully someone finds it useful.

    Or you can try The calyxOS Dialer. It’s little bit different than AOSP Dialer. To get it add calyx institute Fdroid repo on droid-ify and install it from there.

    What bothers me is that there is no way to answer a call using the phone when BT earphones are connected. It’s 2024, how’s that possible? It happens that I leave them in another room and I may forget that they are connected and when I answer I don’t ear anything, damnit!

    By the way, even though I’ve always wandered why changing the dialer, I’m gonna try it!

    I used this for a while, but every time my phone rang I had to type in my pin to answer it which was a deal breaker for me.

        Could be. I do remember trying to get it to work a number of ways at the time. If you’re telling me that this isn’t the case for you though, I might try it out again.

            Well I just tried it again, and while it won’t let me take a screen shot on the lock screen, it’s definitely still the case for me. It just sits there ringing with the pattern lock on the screen and a little “Return to call” button at the bottom of the screen.

    you probably heard of “simple dialer”. Fossify apps are forks of simple (because simple is sold to an advertisement company)

    long story short 👆

    Is there some obstacle to writing them? Special SDK privileges or anything like that? Seems like a good thing to degoogle if possible.
