pttdroid vs ShellMS
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
pttdroid
Talk with other people on the same WiFi network. The app uses broadcast and multicast for communication over the same local network (WiFi) and unicast for point-to-point communication, which also works on GSM. Uses Speex (https://www.speex.org/) for voice encoding which can be adapted to the bandwidth.
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"
