SimpleMobileTools
Requires to be default phone app, to make a call
When I try to make a call to a contact, it asks to select a phone application to do so. If I don't select an an app to be default phone caller, then it drives me to Android's "App info" and a floating messages asks me to set Simple-Dialer as default phone app. I want to be able to make calls with any application I like, including Simple-Dialer.
