Epistolaire vs ProximitySensorFix
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Epistolaire
Epistolaire dumps SMSes AND MMSes AND their photos to a JSON file on the phone storage (so you can copy it whatever way you like, rsync, Syncthing, ownCloud - you name it). There's a tool to convert it to pretty HTML pages if you want to without effort. And if you know a little know a tiny bit of development, the JSON format is straightforward to use.
ProximitySensorFix
I created this app because my Xiaomi has some bugs during the call and with my face I close the call or mute the microphone accidentally. The application does nothing but lock the screen when the phone is brought close to the ear during a phone call. Some special permissions are needed to lock the screen. If the application does not remain active in the background, disable battery optimizations on the app settings. No ROOT required
