I'd like to be able to build the tor binary and use my own instead of the one in the repo, to be able to change the timeouts, etc.
I'm only asking for enough information so that someone who is already comfortable with building for Android can succeed. Presumably the tor binary is a normal build output of something else (orbot?), and that has build instructions. But I'm really not sure.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/website/-/issues/6SEO2021-04-13T08:55:55ZrugkSEOSearching for "Briar" on DuckDuckGo does not show this messenger at all.

I did a quick check of three apps (Signal, Skype and Telegram). Signal and Skype use shots that show the whole phone with a caption describing the feature. Telegram uses screenshots with a status bar but no navigation bar.CleopatraCleopatrahttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1179Handshake protocol2020-11-18T22:39:28ZakwizgranHandshake protocolTo enable account backups (#110) and simplify the introduction protocol (#474) it would be useful to have a way of bootstrapping from static keys, suitable for storing in a backup or exchanging in an introduction, to forward secret trans...To enable account backups (#110) and simplify the introduction protocol (#474) it would be useful to have a way of bootstrapping from static keys, suitable for storing in a backup or exchanging in an introduction, to forward secret transport keys.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1197Manual section needed for Bluetooth and Wi-fi.2020-11-18T22:43:47ZPratiwirManual section needed for Bluetooth and Wi-fi.I initially loaded Briar on three devices and added each to the other as a contact, as in the manual.

I had bluetooth turned on and wi-fi too. The manual says that after scanning the QR code the devices will exchange information and the contacts will be added. This works fine, but what isn't clear is how the process takes place. "You must meet up with the person you want to add as a contact." This implies that bluetooth or local Wi-fi is being used silently. This assumption creates confusion because I then assumed that in Android one just has to have the services activated and the rest is taken care of, as you might expect for easy use in a crisis.
I now think that for the devices to send local messages one has to host a hotspot over Wi-fi or bluetooth. So this should be clear in the manual, how to set up the Wi-fi links or bluetooth links properly and what the requirement is for adding contacts. Is it local bluetooth turned on, paired devices required or not, Wi-fi transmitters active, or logged onto same network, full internet access? Can both QR codes be sent by secure e-mail and scanned by the camera at remote locations at the same time, what is the time wimdow?
"If the internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis." This is the only information in the manual and potentially wrong assumptions about it make actual testing and getting it working more difficult and confusing than it needs to be. The manual is quite compact, but needs additional concise information about what is going on.CleopatraCleopatrahttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1208Explain what the clock icon means2022-11-29T14:31:01ZPratiwirExplain what the clock icon meansI am getting a clock symbol for each new chat bubble.

I switched to tor, the connection is working. 3 days of trial left. I go to the main contacts screen and select the top left three bars menu, at the bottom left both internet and wifi symbols are green.
Each contact displays how long ago I typed a message.
I'd like to see some way to get the server status if possible, ideally the response time could be translated to a color with a note of the last round trip time.
I don't know the server ip, in fact multiping on android seems to be working fine over tor.
Just don't know if the server is down or it is some other problem.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1211Update website for 1.0 rc12018-04-29T16:44:12ZakwizgranUpdate website for 1.0 rc1The main page and download page of the website should be updated for the first 1.0 release candidate.The main page and download page of the website should be updated for the first 1.0 release candidate.Android 1.0akwizgranakwizgranhttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1212Press release for 1.02018-05-11T11:13:33ZakwizgranPress release for 1.0Android 1.0Torsten GroteTorsten Grotehttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar-spec/-/issues/13Write spec for client versioning client2020-11-18T22:16:44ZakwizgranWrite spec for client versioning clienthttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1231Design protocol for adding contacts remotely2023-02-22T18:15:44ZakwizgranDesign protocol for adding contacts remotelySubtask of #1230.Subtask of #1230.akwizgranakwizgranhttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1236Update manual for adding contacts remotely2019-10-09T12:16:03ZakwizgranUpdate manual for adding contacts remotelySubtask of #1230.Subtask of #1230.Android 1.2Torsten GroteTorsten Grotehttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1238Design changes to sync protocol to support multi-block messages2022-06-15T12:02:16ZakwizgranDesign changes to sync protocol to support multi-block messagesSubtask of #1237.Subtask of #1237.Multi-block messageshttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1244Update manual for image attachments2021-11-04T11:04:01ZakwizgranUpdate manual for image attachmentsSubtask of #1237.Subtask of #1237.Android 1.4CleopatraCleopatrahttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1249Update manual for account sign-in improvements2018-09-17T16:10:26ZakwizgranUpdate manual for account sign-in improvementsSubtask of #1245.Subtask of #1245.Android 1.1Torsten GroteTorsten Grotehttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1253Update manual for dark theme2018-09-03T18:53:45ZakwizgranUpdate manual for dark themeSubtask of #976.Subtask of #976.Android 1.1Torsten GroteTorsten Grote
