You wanted it, you've got it! DumberKit: Phone (D-PAD optimized dialer for keypad Android phones)

Hey,

a while back, I shared the first few lightweight, FOSSify-based apps I built for T9 and keypad Android phones (like the Qin F21 Pro, Doov R77 Pro, and Dumber Mini) to make navigation smooth without a touchscreen.

Since many of you pointed out the need for a dedicated, D-pad optimized dialer alongside the contacts app, I went ahead and built it!

Here is the complete DumberKit lineup so far, fully optimized for pure D-pad / keypad navigation:

I would love to know how these work for you. I'm especially curious about how the apps perform on other keypad Android devices.

Also, which app do you think should be my next priority to add to the suite?

As always, feel free to test them out, report any bugs directly on GitHub, or drop feature suggestions here. Let me know how they work for your setup!

D-pad optimized apps

Hey everyone! 👋

As many of us using T9 / keypad Android phones (like the Qin F21 Pro, Doov R77 Pro, or Dumber Mini) know, standard Android apps aren't always great to use without a touchscreen. To fix that, I've built a set of lightweight apps based on the FOSSify core, fully optimized for pure D-pad / keypad navigation.

Here are the first three apps I’ve put together (tested and working on the Doov R77 Pro and Dumber Mini):

(Note: The Phone/Dialer app is currently in progress!)

I would love to get some feedback from you guys on whether everything works smoothly. If you encounter any bugs, please report them directly on GitHub. I'm also very open to any new ideas or feature suggestions.

Let me know how they work for you!
