Hi,

I would like to forward automatically Text messages.

A couples of years before, I was doing it easily with some FLOSS apps

But none of those apps (I keep the apk ;) ) works anymore on “recent” AOSP[1] phone 🤨 ( Thanks to g**gle, to not take care of retro-compatibility )…

So, I lost time to dig for new apps (FLOSS and not)

I’m willing to write a “Shell” script to run under Android, to just do that (I’ve never developed for Android, so if you have any advice I’m all ears )

or any other solution like

  • Linux phone ROM ( without systemd )
  • or maybe a simcard dongle, to allow my Linux computer to receive/send text ?

  1. a ROM that use AOSP is generally gapps free 😍 ↩︎

Considering your other solution parts include simcard dongle, maybe look at KDE Connect to send/receive sms on your linux machine?

Yeah, that’s what I’m doing. I’m running a de-Googled Android (/e/OS on a Fairphone 6) and using the KDE Connect app on there to sync up with my desktop (via GSConnect in NixOS since I’m running GNOME, though KDE Connect would be preferable if you’re running Plasma). It’s not perfect, and I’ve run into a few bugs (especially with regard to group messages), but it’s surprisingly reliable otherwise.
