Hi. I sadly can't contribute to this because I don't think I have enough Android knowledge, but just wanted to answer on this topic as I feel that is very important and I think this one and the previous ones you sent related to this didn't get enough attention. So, even if I can't personally help, maybe answering on the topic can get some attention, or at least you can know that somebody read it and support it.
