    It didn’t happen with SimpleMobileTools but it might happen with Fossify:

    A Custom ROM that replaces the stock apps with this suite would be just a wonderful idea! I’d love to see this happen. If anyone wants to collaborate on such an idea, let me know.

      They would need to fix the SMS app first (lots and lots of bugs, not the least of which is that it likes to split MMS group chats up into separate 1 on 1 threads with every single participant as soon as you reply to the group)

      They actually did that with the SimplePhone. Last time I looked the pages were down but I know I archived them on the wayback machine.

      They made lots of promises, including that a downloadable ROM would be available, the whole thing quickly crashed and burned.

      Reddit had some pretty extensive threads about it. The whole thing seemed like a grift (it was) and convinced me to dump all their apps.

      Anyway, if this is something you want to do you could check those threads, I know people linked to the phone they were using (from Alibaba) and the source code was on Codeberg iirc.
