ics-openvpn VS Simple-Music-Player

When I am trying to build https://github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn > main. I am constantly get the following error:

I've been working for a few days to build a good working VPN app (Non-commercial) but I'm finding so many different implementations of https://github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn that I don't know exactly where to start.

OpenVPN for Android (version 0.7.46): OpenVPN without root

You could ask upstream: https://github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn (also, is that the app you're using?)

Just the android phone with Openvpn for Android (https://github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn) thinks that it's too good for a new dns lookup, takes the ip it has cached from the previous connection and therefore can't connect. It retries until i manually disconnect and reconnect it. Only then a new dns lookup happens and it gets the current ip to then connect without a problem.

For the Android app it lists: https://github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn

I know that Apple limits what you're permitted to install on their phones, but perhaps there's another openvpn version that has this feature that you're permitted to use. In case it can help, the version I'm using seems to be from https://github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn/ . Perhaps someone has done something similar for Apple phones.

I've been looking into doing something similar and stumbled upon a method that uses personalDNSfilter with OpenVPN for personalDNSfilter, which is a special version of the OpenVPN for Android app.

In addition we back several other open source projects, such as the OpenVPN GUI, OpenVPN for Android and OpenVPN 3 Linux ... these all provide various user interfaces on top of the OpenVPN Core component.

OpenVPN for Android (version 0.7.37): OpenVPN without root

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.
