Simple Mobile apps have been very popular among FOSS enthusiasts. I've personally been using the Gallery, Contacts and the Phone app since a few years now. It's a shame that it has come to this, will be on the lookout for their forks.

Hmm, I think I got Simple File Manager Pro from F-droid, would I need to do something else for it?
What is a good alternative?
Also I had the simple music player app, although I have no music downloaded ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
EDIT: hmm, strange acquisition actually, only the fee apps? Or the deal ain't over?
Material files and Auxio
Dude, I actually had it already installed when I was on my quest to have a sane file manager 😅
(Why is it so damn hard to have a file manager which shows your "root" folder when you open it 😑).
The only thing I went for Simple File Manager Pro and not for Material Files was because the former allows me to check the file size of multiple items, and I'm finding many file managers don't.
Does fx fulfil your needs?
I like FX a lot on ATV, on mobile I never got used to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Auxio is really well made. Just wish it supported the artist tag rather than the artists tag.
Phonograph plus seems to work for me. A little buggy but nothing problematic.
Symphony or Auxio
F-droid version will remain open-source, but if the new owners decide to no longer support it, then it might not get any more updates.
