Glad to see it got forked by a long time contributor [0].

Naveen, are you on HN?

Simple Music Player (version 5.18.3): Clean music player with a customizable widget, sleep timer, battery saver

Try: https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Music-Player

Better to get his apps from F-Droid though and then support the author(s) via their website IMO. I only linked to the Google Play store for reference. Because they better show the number of different apps he's created and has available. I use probably at least 5 of his apps.

Simple Mobile Tools

You may install a different launcher that supports custom icon pack or try replacing some of the default apps with their counterpart from Simple Mobile Tools since they all allow to change the icon color.

Basically, if the stock apps on GrapheneOS don't support some features, I found that Simple Mobile Tools have some really good apps that are customisable.

Take a look at the Simple Mobile Tools. They are open source and can be downloaded via F-Droid. The have a dialer and a contact app. The color of the app can be customised in the settings as well if you don't like the orange color theme.

Did you try Simple SMS from https://www.simplemobiletools.com/ ? How does QKSMS compare to that? I was delaying from switching to Signal to another app for SMS and just recently I started using Simple SMS but I'm willing to switch to QKSMS while it's early if you have have experience with both and still recommend it.

PCAPdroid (version 1.6.9): No-root network monitor and traffic dump tool for Android devices

PCAPdroid mitm (version 16): Mitm addon for PCAPdroid

https://github.com/emanuele-f/PCAPdroid is very good, shows content too (for http)

There's also PCAPdroid [1] which you can run straight from your phone with no root. Works with https traffic too when you enable the mitm setting.

Also whenever I mess around with http stuff I like to use tools like Fiddler Classic (PC) and PCAPdroid (Android) to know what I need to do vs. what I'm sending/requesting. With this you can perform the desired action manually while capturing all the packets of that action with headers. Then when you replicate the functionality, you capture the packets again and compare both to verify that your code behaves identically/similarly to what you manually did.

Try PCAPdroid. It'll show the app as well as the destination IP.

PCAPdroid (version 1.5.1): No-root network monitor and traffic dump tool for Android devices

I'm rather fond of PCAPdroid, just leave everything to default and start monitoring. Ideally you should only see ~100b be sent via netd and nothing else if you are not using your phone (and disabled background update checks in say NetGuard, Firefox, etc.). It takes up the VPN slot so be aware of that.

PCAPdroid should do the same thing
