There is already forked version named Fossify (hope it will be renamed soon). But for some time I switched to Clock You, Material Files, Aves, OpenCalc, QUIK. Only Dialer is probably unreplaceable right now.
I love the interface and tried using it for a bit but it is just not functional. By that I mean, the app does not have any notifications. So, if you have the setting on the mode where it does a pop up notification instead of taking up ur entire screen, you literally will not be able to answer or decline the phone call because no notifications pop up. This also means that while you are in a call, if you swipe out of the app and go back in, you won’t be able to pull up the current call to end it or mute or put on hold or any of that.
Although I am running GrapheneOS on a Pixel and that might be the problem but I doubt it because I saw similar problems on the Github issues and the Play Store ratings are not that good.
Edit: this issue is only with version 1.6, version 1.5 does send notifications. But version 1.5 does not have the option to not make the call take up the entire screen which is a bummer.
Was that a feature of simple dialer? There’s a separate call blocking app but I haven’t played with it and tried to make it work, not sure if it might be useful to you. You might have to use it as your phone app
Aves Libre is amazing and I wish I switched from Simple Gallery ages ago. It’s better in almost every single way*. It’s also stupidly fast in comparison to Simple Gallery. Gallery could take twenty to thirty seconds to finish background loading (and when it did it’d shunt you back to the first picture you opened if you were in the image viewer), and a full library refresh could take a minute or more before new images show up. Aves loads basically instantly and doesn’t miss a single thing.
^(* Aves doesn’t have Gallery’s editing capabilities, but if you don’t need them or are willing to download a separate app it’s perfect.)

Koler is decent if not perfect. I really like the interface though :)

I had a similar experience and I couldn’t figure out why - this explains it!
Gotcha, I’m using the setting to have the call take up the whole screen so I wasn’t aware of some of these issues
Koler can’t block spam incoming numbers or I missed something?
I use https://www.f-droid.org/packages/at.bitfire.nophonespam/ for spam calls
