In my experience (I can't  remember the version I tried but it was 
almost 1 year ago), the Android port of OpenOffice is anything but usable.
It's an interesting technical demonstration of how a desktop application 
can be correctly ported to a mobile platform "as is" , but it lacks all 
the mobile  interaction users want (and probably need) on devices with a 
10" touch screen, virtual keyboard and no mouse.

In my organization we're using OpenOffice on (Windows) desktops and 
we're still trying hard to find a mobile app we can suggest our users to 
download to edit ODF documents.

IMHO, ultimately, the apps that that seemed to work best when editing 
ODF documents are the Google apps (Docs, Sheets and Slides). On iOs they 
have the limit (well, it's a limit for me!) that they can only open 
documents stored on your Google Drive. At least we didnt' find a way to 
open, e.g., an ODF attachment to a mail message.

Andrea, as you know, I'm willing to test RC3 as soon as it's ready.

I've already tested RC2 against the Sharepoint issue (see 
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125194):
- on MacOs X client (v. 10.10.2): it worked fine
- on Windows 7: it failed

Then I've tested RC2 + latest patch from Giuseppe (see 
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125194#c25) on Windows 7 and 
it worked as expected.
So I'm quite confident RC3 will work fine.
