Maybe it would be better to show you some of the issues I've encountered: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AkkOvekTOCrYnUZsU-63TBDjd1Gh (3 videos showing android and gnome side-by-side (android via miracast)) Video 1: It starts with the message doubling on android coming from gnome. Shortly after, you'll see that doubled message somehow turn single (no idea what made it change. usually it's after I've closed/reopened ring on android). Next, even though I type a message on android and send, for some reason it doesn't even send (or even get displayed that the message was created). Then when I type my next message, it and the previous message are displayed, but neither send. As you can see in gnome, I HAVE been able to send messages from android before. Later I try blocking contact on android and have no idea if it's even implemented. The contact remains and even switches name to the native android contact I created. Video 2: I encounter WebKitWebProcess running really hot. I close out ring, reopen and the heat is on again. After reopening, you'll see messages come in FROM gnome out of order from when they previously didn't send out, and they even still say "Sending..." in gnome. Video 3: I had forgotten to show the contact add/remove issue in gnome. It looks like it works right at the beginning but you'll see a couple of things after I close/reopen. First, conversations in the list had duplicated (from 5 to 8). Second, after adding a contact, then removing them, the context menu only allows for remove even after the contact was already removed. Oh, also note, the android identity is never displayed in gnome, only the id. None of my accounts are registered in the blockchain, but they all have their alias. I still think it's important that each user be allowed to customize the identity of their peer (locally via a nickname or something), otherwise you can/may/will be dealing with identity issues (I set my name to Oliver and the peer wouldn't know any different). You can't rely on a person making a call just to get the contact info. It needs to be when the contact request has been accepted.
