Or plans to implement something similar to this build? This sucker fly's on my S9! Just to let others know, if you're phone is getting to hot and using too much power, cap the fps at 30 in the settings. Helped me out a lot!
At this time I don't have plans to implement anything more advanced than the current mod manager.

After playing with the elder scrolls blades I realised. If this android morrowind port could have combat system like the one in blades, then it would become the best game of all times. Graphich wouldn't have to be as good but the combat mechanics are so well done in that game, it just fits the phone perfectly. Could something like that be implemented?

I would imagine that some kind of swipe gesture could be recognized to activate an attack, but anything past that would be a massive rewrite of the core game and wouldn't be feasible.

on nightly build:
please dont hide the activate button on actions like opening stat windows, dialogue etc. its very important in things like spamming persuasion.
sneak button should be separate from top bar icons.

I would like the launcher to have the setting "always display all buttons", so that all the buttons, including the digital ones, are displayed from the start of the game and do not disappear in the dialog and inventory menu.

Two questions are general OpenMW questions and not specific to Android, so I'll answer those. Can't answer the Android-specific ones.

Not possible because it isn't implemented into OpenMW (yet). There has been some debate wether Obvlivion-style swift casting should be implemented at all or if there should be a better system implemented instead. Skyrim's system for example could perhaps be better. But again, so far, there is no swift casting.

Haven't looked at this particular case, but it's probably a need to convert the mod due to the use of MCP hacks that will not work for OpenMW. The hacks will not be implemented either since there are better ways to do the same things, which OpenMW can use. See the link for more info and a tutorial on how to convert the mod.
