LineageOS already maintains these apps from what i understand
Good thing I barely ever use the phone part of my cell phone anymore.
they can't kill the clock
I use simple SMS anyway, I honestly would love to see a modern dailer for degoogled android. I wonder if we could get the little verified caller checkmarks on a Foss dailer app
Imagine if the dialer could sync a region specific spam blocklist
I'm amazed that Google was able to get away with dumping in developing Android.
That is absolutely not a blow to ROMs by any means. There are plenty of good alternatives. For messaging, alternatives are even better. Dialer apps are just basic ones buy they do exists.
I do think it will have ramifications in the long run. Google is slowly closing the Android source. At some point it will affect core functions.
Let's hope that Linux Phone OSes will be able to be daily drivers until then.
That is why we need to work towards having postmarketOs and similarprojectso going.
