What did you find for a gallery? I never found an open one I liked other than simple gallery.

Note that the fork Fossify Gallery is already available on F-Droid. The rest of the apps aren't yet. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fossify.gallery/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fossify.gallery/ Thanks to this debacle, I'll actually be trying it out. What I have used out of Simple Mobile Tools is the Dialer. It allowed me to make my old phone usable for calls again. The phone, which runs an outdated release of LineageOS and doesn't receive updates, developed a problem. The screen would turn off when dialing or on a call. This prevented one from even hanging up. I experimentally installed Simple Dialer to see if the dialer app was the cause. (Because Simple Dialer was on F-Droid, and I had heard about Simple Mobile Tools.) It didn't help on its own. Then I went through the settings and saw one that disabled the proximity sensor during calls. I tried turning on the setting, and that did it. This apparently used to be an option in the AOSP phone app: https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/80227/phone-dialer-app-that-allows-you-to-disable-the-proximity-sensor https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/80227/phone.... Simple Dialer has been forked as https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Phone https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Phone.

  Aaah that does it, thanks. My phone started having the exact same issue the other day. Finding a fix was on my to do list, and you saved me some time, thanks!

    Wow, my phone does this sometimes, like once every 5 or 10 calls.

There's now liberated version of the SMT gallery up in Fdroid. I already switched Calendar, Gallery and File Manager.

I stopped looking when I installed e/OS. Their default Gallery app is adequate for my needs and integrates well with the camera and messaging app and has never nagged me to upgrade to the "pro" version. I'm pretty sure it is a modified version from Android open source/Lineage.

Gallery [0] and Glimpse (byLineageOS) [1] are some good choices, both designed with Material You. I use the first one on a daily basis.

  Finally, thank you for Gallery. This is exactly how I want my Gallery to be. Scrolling is a bit choppy unfortunately, though.

Yep, that and the calendar app are the ones I use. I've been experimenting with Aves as a replacement for the gallery app, but not sure what I think about it yet.
