SD Contacts vs ShellMS
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
SD Contacts
This app is meant for users that don't want to synchronize their contacts online, but want to keep them local to the phone. Though there is a problem, if you brick your phone, you might lose all your contacts. With this app, you will have a backup of your contacts stored on the SD card. You can take it out and import the contacts into your new phone.
ShellMS
ShellMS is the simplest and easiest ADB Shell Messaging Application. If you don't know what ADB or SDK is you definitely don't need this app. For the others it's useful tool to speed up messaging when you're working on your computer. Usage: * with mobile phone numbers: adb shell am startservice --user 0 -n com.android.shellms/.sendSMS -e contact +123456789 -e msg "Message" * with display names from phone: adb shell am startservice --user 0 -n com.android.shellms/.sendSMS -e contact "Contact's DISPLAY NAME" -e msg "MSG"
