Description
Silence is an SMS/MMS application that allows you to protect your privacy while communicating with friends. Using Silence, you can send SMS messages and share media or attachments with complete privacy.
Features: * Easy. Silence works like any other SMS application. There's nothing to sign up for and no new service your friends need to join. * Reliable. Silence communicates using encrypted SMS messages. No servers or internet connection required. * Private. Silence provides end-to-end encryption for your messages using the painstakingly engineered Axolotl encryption protocol. * Safe. All messages are encrypted locally, so if your phone is lost or stolen, your messages are protected. * Open Source. Silence is Free and Open Source, enabling anyone to verify its security by auditing the code.

Still working two years on as far as I can tell - but it's been two years since the last update, so *is* it still working, or are users simply unaware of what exploits there are?
★★★★★
This is an must have on every phone! but i think that huawei's powergenie (powersaving mode) kills it relativly fast so Make sure to disable powersaving for this app
★★★★★
Even though this app is not actively supported, it is still one of the best encrypted sms apps for Android.
★★★★★
Really great app (I've set it as my default SMS app and it works flawlessly). Even if the other person doesn't have Silence it still works fine and I've never had problems of text messages not sending due to data/wifi issues (it even seems to work better than normal SMS when I'm in the country, but I'm not sure if that's actually true or just how it feels). I also love the colours and the visuals :)

Safe to assume this project is dead, such a pity.
★★☆☆☆
Unencrypted MMS sending fails including with latest beta version 0.16.12-unstable
★★☆☆☆
Even after setting it as the default sms app, Silence does not recieve incoming messages. You should specify which encryption technique you are using.
