Simple Mobile apps have been very popular among FOSS enthusiasts. I've personally been using the Gallery, Contacts and the Phone app since a few years now. It's a shame that it has come to this, will be on the lookout for their forks.

There're good alternatives for every app, the only real lost are contacts and dialer, imo.

The Gallery is also the most feature-rich one in FOSS with even a video editor. Couldn't find any other FOSS video editors out there.

I also was an user but Aves Libre is a very good replace if you don't mind the video editing aspect. But yeah, that app also probably deserve a good fork.
