Hi,

I would like to forward automatically Text messages.

A couples of years before, I was doing it easily with some FLOSS apps

But none of those apps (I keep the apk ;) ) works anymore on "recent" AOSP[^1] phone 🤨 ( Thanks to g**gle, to not take care of retro-compatibility )..

So, I lost time to dig for new apps (FLOSS and not)

I'm willing to write a "Shell" script to run under Android, to just do that (I've never developed for Android, so if you have any advice I'm all ears )

or any other solution like

  • Linux phone ROM ( without systemd )
  • or maybe a simcard dongle, to allow my Linux computer to receive/send text ?

[^1]: a ROM that use AOSP is generally gapps free 😍

hoestly not the best advice but maybe just get an older android phone that can run those apps

    You can use a raspberry pi with a GSM HAT

    here is a super in depth blog that I used for reference when implementing this. https://projects-raspberry.com/call-text-using-raspberry-pi-gsm-module/

    I have a very different GSM module that goes directly on the pi.

    i haven't used it myself but https://jmp.chat/ looks good if you're OK with a US or Canadian number.

    there is a lemmy community about it here: !sopranica@lemmy.ml.
