Sailfish RedPhone and TextSecure apps

Integration of the TextSecure V2 protocol into the OS like in CyanogenMod would be even better. https://whispersystems.org/blog/cyanogen-integration/

especially now, as many are seeking WhatsApp alternatives and TextSecure has been released with IP based messaging support! https://whispersystems.org/blog/the-new-textsecure/ Clients for iOS and Desktop are in the making. In addition to synchronous instant messages with XMPP (and hopefully soon OTR), TextSecure support would make a good counterpart for asynchronous messages (SMS- and IP-based). Integrated into the unified messaging of SailfishOS would be ideal. The only problem I see is to find an adaequate replacement for Google's push service (GCM).

It is actually possible to get TextSecure to run by using the voice call verification method.

That said, it is not possible to access Jolla's address book, nor does it seem possible to add contact. Anyone know a way to do that?

On Cyanogenmod ( http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/whisperpush-secure-messaging-integration) textsecure is combined with the whisperpush protocol see github: https://github.com/WhisperSystems/TextSecure-Server/wiki/API-Protocol

I became interested into TextSecure, until i found this piece from F-Droid: »The latest version of the application is 0.6.2, and the security flaw has now been fixed. However, the author has not published any source code corresponding to the binary he released of this version, and far from wishing to help anyone stuck with his previous disastrous mistake, he actually asked for the application to be removed from our repository as he wants to distribute it via Google Play only.« Kills trust in it.
