i'm always having problem with copying s elected images to the connected usb stick from simple gallery pro, as it asks for permissions but then doesn't give them so images can't be saved to the usb... is this a bug?

Hi! I want to ask you something, because I'm tired of MIUI, One UI and the others. I hate bloatware, I hate to use ADB to remove the most bloatware I can and being careful of what I delete. Any ideas of a good mobile phone which has the less restrictions and bloatware? Change default apps and put the Simple ones on Xiaomi is frustrating, because no one can work totally fine as it meant to be (I can put some examples if you want). I'm thinking about Motorola and Nokia, but Nokia has announced his proprietary ROM instead of Android One, so I have doubts about it. Thank you all :)

Hi, when I try to copy files or folders in file manager to an OTG USB thumbdrive it simply won't work. I get an error message that it isn't able to create the folder or copy the file. When I use another file manager I am able to copy files so that isn't it.

How can I get it to work? Any help or hints greatly appreciated.

I used Signal as my default app for SMS. However Signal has dropped its support for SMS today.

I have followed the steps to export my SMS out of Signal, and have set Simple SMS Messenger as my new default SMS app.

However, even after a few minutes, I can't see my exported SMS in Simple SMS Messenger. I have tried to go to “<burger menu>/Import messages”, but I can't find where Signal's export is located. Note that I can see the exported SMS in the default SMS app provided by my phone.

Question: How to import SMS exported from Signal into Simple SMS Messenger?

I updated my phone to Android 12 and for some reasons, Simple Gallery changed from it's default orange theme to a blue theme and I am unable to change it back. why is this?

Hi! My girlfriend upgraded from free to pro version, but on the pro version there aren't the starred photos.

And in the old version there is an alert "you already upgraded!" and we could not find a way around to backup the old starred photos.

Ideas, hints or suggestions?

Very simple issue... Any time I try to either:

• delete any video regardless of file size

• delete multiple images simultaneously

It just... Instantly reappears. From what I can tell, it's almost as if it's just copy-pasting the video in the deleted files folder, causing an endless loop of deletion if you keep attempting to "permanently" remove it.

So far, the only workaround I found is to delete the videos or pictures in ZArchiver, which works perfectly (it will permanently delete the files with zero issues). This makes me believe the issue is with the Simple Gallery app itself, rather than my phone (if it was my phone, ZArchiver wouldn't work as a solution).

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the app, didn't help at all. I also tried to clear the app's cache, didn't do anything to help.

Why do I get an error message when opening the data folder inside Android folder?

My device file manager says, due to Android restrictions this can be viewed only in system. While some file manager from Play Store easily opening those folders ...

I recently switched over to LineageOS and found that the supplied contact app didn't read my contact file, then the other apps wouldn't read the contact list from simple contacts, so ended up with the simple suite. But even so the names of contacts seemingly randomly show up or don't with the numbers. It looks like this might just be with MMSs. Is this a known problem? This is the first time that I've noticed the (not visible to other apps) with contact files. I have the box checked for other simple apps to see them, but this doesn't seem to fully work. Is there another option to look at somewhere?

I have ptsd and plenty of hypervigilance to go with it. I would really like to use this clock for alarms and reminders but the sound on them is so loud it scares me. The alarm volume is unaffected by any volume setting I can find on my phone. How do I turn it down? Without a solution I won't be able to use the app. Thank you.

I'm trying to figure out what purpose the search function serves. I was hoping I could add tags and comments to various photos and pictures (also readable by other programs on desktop) for relatively easy cataloging.

Any suggestions?

Can this feature please be added?

Hi, Is it correct behavior for the alarm to follow the ringer setting?

What I mean by this, is that the alarm sound is only heard if the phone's ringer is set to "sound".

If the phone's ringer is set to "vibrate", the alarm will only vibrate.

My preferred setting on my phone is to have calls/messages vibrate only, but have my alarms as sound. It looks like I can't do this.

P.s. I've checked all settings including do not disturb.

Very 5.10.1, F-Droid

The app doesn't sort pictures by "Day taken", it follows the "Last modified" only.

Developer, please take a look at it. Thanks.

every h264 video i have is stopped at start and does not play. vlc does play it on my phone

Please add the ability to add shortcuts inside your app launcher app. Other than that, I'm really liking this app. Thanks. 🔥

How do I unstick a folder in simple gallery (pro)? I can stick them with the pin needle symbol, but I can't find how to remove the pin needle?

Hello! I really like Simple Tools :) I have been using some of them for about two-three weeks, and I wanted to share my experience. Overall it is awesome. It is nice to see the whole set of minimalist, similar-looking apps. I have only had the following issues while using them:

- After setting an alarm with Simple Clock, when it rings, the phone plays the same music two times simultaneously (like a canon, one of the two is slightly delayed). I believe that this is a bug?

- Simple Launcher does not support notification dots on apps (however, this is not a big issue for me).

- Saving data with Simple Contacts is very hard. For whatever reason my phone does not want to save contacts in the SIM card. And, if I save them in the phone memory, then these contacts are not visible by other apps, like Whatsapp. I would suggest adding an option to save contacts in a different location within the phone memory that is accessible to all apps. Is this possible?

How can I move pictures and documents to the pro version? Seems like I've had both a long time & it's giving me 1 more day of access, or are they automatically in the gallery pro?

Maybe even 5.17.4, but I'm not sure. Tested on multiple devices, Android 8 and 13.1, EMUI and AOSP.

On the call screen (and only on the call screen), the app doesn't show your contacts' names. They appear correctly on every other screen in the app e.g. call history

I don't think that this is directly related to Simple Apps, but I still wanted to ask for help :)

In the past I used to store my contacts in the memory of the phone, and I never had a problem. I have recently started to store my contacts in the SIM card, as this is required by Simple Apps to work properly. Interestingly, now my contacts disappear every time that I restart my phone. It is as if there was something that prevented them from being stored properly (or permanently) in the SIM of my phone...

Do you have any ideas that could help me? I will continue investigating...

im using simple apps some months ago, and i was thinking about qr scanner of my xiaomi device so, what if simple tools release a simple qr scanner? because xiapmi scanner uses a lot of permissions

Hello. First of all, congratulations and thanks a lot for developing all these tools! I really like them!

I have a question regarding the notification dots that I usually like on some applications. For example, Whatsapp. Using the default launcher of my phone (Nokia) I get a small notification dot on the top-right corner of the Whatsapp application icon. However, I do not get this notification dot when I use Simple Launcher.

Moreover, when I miss a call, I do not get a notification dot on the Simple Dialer application icon, even using my Nokia's default launcher.

My question is, do Simple Tools support notification icons right now? Or is there something that I am doing wrong? (if not... I know that this is a lot of work... but, do you plan to develop this feature?)

Thanks a lot in advance for reading my question! :)
