Recovering from saved sqlite database
I accidentally my whole phone. I do have a Titanium Backup of Simple SMS Messenger, from which I can extract the conversations.db. However, when I launch the app, it replaces the conversations. I do not have an export. I would like a method of merging / importing the old conversations from the database. I'm techy and can write SQL, Python, etc. I've had a quick look at the exporter to see if I can replicate the JSON format of the exported conversations. But I thought I might ask in case anyone here has already solved this or has better advice. Cheers!

Finally ditched almost all proprietary apps and hosted my own home server for media streaming and files/photo sharing. (Still using WhatsApp, Classroom and some food ordering apps though)

There is an open-source implementation of an RCS stack that these apps (QKSMS and Simple SMS) might be able to use.

Silence alternative or updated versions (supporting arm64)
It has very bad broken encryption: https://github.com/wrwrabbit/Partisan-SMS/issues/47
- SMS Removal Megathread
- Signal is dropping SMS support and both QKSMS and Silence are no longer maintained. Is there a good, open source alternative? Preferably that encrypts your texts locally and allows for backups?

SIM Registration = More government surveillance
Silence has not been updated in years and can't handle dual sims. Instead you can try: https://github.com/wrwrabbit/Partisan-SMS but you should get off of SMS.
-
Is Qksms still actively maintained ?
Not secure: https://github.com/wrwrabbit/Partisan-SMS/issues/47
-
Is there any other SMS app with similar or better UI to QKSMS?
