Background

In signal for Android 4.51 changes to how UI works initiates calls were made. Since I am not a fan of unmotivated confirm requesters I decided to use the source and remove this feature. When I had opened the box of Pandora and begun maintaining my own fork other improvements could also be done.

Check version history to judge if I’m still maintaining this fork or not.
