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 ?
