A FOSS Degoogled SMS & Phone Call Syncing with other devices
There's also https://github.com/benkuly/matrix-sms-bridge which works with this android SMS server. Both were updated in the last 2 months but I never tried them (As I use JMP.chat personally and I use my SIM card for data only)

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)

I wasn't impressed with Simple SMS, the devs are a bit slow to fix issues such as the one i reported.
