    I backed up the APK of the last “clean” version before the sale. I’m going to keep using it until some OS update breaks it.

      One of the original maintainers of Simple Mobile Tools forked the project and he’s adding new features and fixing bugs.

      The project is called Fossify and you can already download the apps from both Play store and F-Droid
