New name Phone Sync => Phone ?
Hello, as you now see app is in nextcloud namespace. I discussed with @BernhardPosselt which prefers renaming app from PhoneSync to Phone because he said "Sync" is implicit.
As you also see, repo name is ocsms at this moment because repo name should match id in appinfo/info.xml and it's not easy to migrate users at this moment @stefan-niedermann @enoch85
Just a thought, couldn't this app be confused with the regular Android app if it's called just "Phone"?
I am fine with Phone.
The Android app is called "Nextcloud" as is the iOS app ;)

You won't call the app "Phone" on Android. You will call it something like Nextcloud/ownCloud Phone Connector or something similar. This name will only be used for the Nextcoud app in PHP since it fits the general convention pretty well: Notes, News, Calendar, Contacts, Files, Gallery, ... all one word that describes what they are used for ;)
Hello,
I think anythink with phone isn't a good name as long as the app "just" handles sms.
Why not just name it "Nextcloud SMS" as it is called at the moment in the NC-Store?
Or did I missunderstood something?
@JSoko because the plan is to add more features than SMS which interface with your Phone
Well, it still needs to be shortened and the App shouldn't have Nextcloud in the same, simply since you can't read it.. Hello Phone screen ;)
Now it looks like Nextcloud Messenger :P
Yeah, but you have to differ between the project name and the launcher name - the notes app is called "Nextcloud Notes" while the launcher name shows only "Notes". So "Nextcloud Phone Sync" would be good and the launcher name could only be "Phone Sync" - in combination with a blue/white icon everyone who installed it will know it belongs to Nextcloud ;)
@stefan-niedermann Android apps are a different topic, there can be more than one app that interfaces with the Nextcloud app with different names etc.
Caution with the name. My father has an account on my Nextcloud instance and had a contact's sync problem and was looking around the app "phone sync" on my instance.
"Phone" could be confusing too
Change log support it is built in but apps need to provide one. Also please stay on topic and don't hijack issues like you did in passman
That's cool. So I can use Phone for making calls? That's great. So NextCloud get's a bit more like the MS Cloud with Teams. Will be SMS possible, too?!
