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)
- https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.pierreduchemin.smsforward/ The GUI is launching, but nothing happen… not even an error message.
- https://apkpure.com/sms-forwarder/com.frzinapps.smsforward in addition do not be FLOSS it weight 70MB XD !!! , no thank you.
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 ?


hoestly not the best advice but maybe just get an older android phone that can run those apps
