From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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 ?

[^1]: a ROM that use AOSP is generally gapps free 😍

You can use a raspberry pi with a GSM HAT

here is a super in depth blog that I used for reference when implementing this. https://projects-raspberry.com/call-text-using-raspberry-pi-gsm-module/

I have a very different GSM module that goes directly on the pi.

Thanks @HelloRoot@lemy.lol But I stop with raspberry pi..

But I found https://wammu.eu/python-gammu/ I just have to foud out if it could work with a USB-GSM-Modem, dongle and it should do the trick.

i haven't used it myself but https://jmp.chat/ looks good if you're OK with a US or Canadian number.

there is a lemmy community about it here: !sopranica@lemmy.ml.

Thanks @cypherpunks@lemmy.ml But I rather want something that run locally.

[–] singpolyma@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Maybe MAXS?
