Unfortunately, I have literally no time available for this at the moment. I might have some time for this in about 2 weeks, but most certainly not earlier. Sorry.

You did notice the word "might" in there, right? :wink:

I might find the time to work on this at the end of the upcoming week, so let's start by collecting some info.

1. Does this actually need device-specific templates? Apart from using specific UI elements for iOS or Android (which could be done using CSS only, I guess), is there a technical reason for seperate sets of .tpl files?

2. What exactly is xhtml_mp needed for? Is this some kind of generic fallback for non-Android, non iOS devices? Are there any technical objections to switching all mobile templates to HTML5?

3. The iui.js is not really an issue since it's available for Android and other platforms as well, but I'm not sure we actually need or want this any longer. I haven't really checked out what it actually does, but it should most definitely not provide any key features of the mobile template via JS.

4. In the iphone.app/index.tpl, what does {if $ajax!=1} mean?

I don't know the original reason. I think the author wanted to have a look like an intern app, which I feel is not necessary/ not good.

I think, this was meant to be an generic template, but in my case, it throws an error and does not work at all.

I have no information about the other points.
