  1. Simple-Calendar

    A simple calendar with events, tasks, customizable colors, widgets and no ads.

    Most custom ROMs don't seem to use the AOSP dialer anyway. I've mostly seen forks with some nice features Google's dialer still lacks (called recording, for one).

    AOSP hasn't been a useful Android distribution for years. Luckily, you can make it useful through third party apps like the Simple apps: https://www.simplemobiletools.com/

  3. It looks like LineageOS's Dialer is still mostly based on AOSP. At the very least, recent developments are mostly just merging code from Google: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_packages_apps_Dialer/co...

  4. Obtainium

    Get Android app updates straight from the source.

  5. Simple-SMS-Messenger

    An easy and quick way of managing SMS and MMS messages without ads.

    Check out Simple SMS Messenger[1], been using it since Signal dropped SMS support.
