QKSMS for SMS, Koler for Dialer, Calculator and I use Obsidian for notes but you may prefer Joplin.
It's been almost a year since the last update (2023-01-19) and then almost two more since the one before that (2021-03-01).
Interesting. I have been using it for years. Are they any issues that need fixing or maybe it just works?
I can't answer in detail as I haven't used it in years. I'm sure "it just works" in the sense does it send SMS. However, if a bug crops up or a substantial change in Android happens, either breaking or limiting it...or worse, a security vulnerability is discovered, how long till it's fixed/patched?
As a rule of thumb, I don't use applications/software that sees such infrequent updates due to mostly security concerns.
In my experience with using qksms, sometimes the senders reply text gets randomly hidden at the very bottom out of sight and you have to swipe up to reveal it, sometimes this causes you to respond to an old text message without seeing the latest context of the conversation. Very frustrating.
