I have Note 8. So far, I hate the new "mobile optimisations" and would rather just use the standard "desktop" customizable interface like you showed in early videos of RS mobile. I've actually used something similar with my handheld gaming PC GPD Win I used to own, although it lacked a stylus.

Even Legacy interface would be an improvement over this.

And what happened to the Stylus support you said was working in dev builds?

The stylus is actually a huge reason I was excited for this. Hover text and right click via stylus button is very important.

Quick Chat is actually important for things like finding out what your current Slayer assignment is.

I'm forced to use Legacy because my ability bars are set up for multiple bars (basic abilities on one for revolution, and thresholds on another), and you can't have multiple bars on mobile.
I'd rather have the abilities laid out in the small bar and tap them to use, with multiple bars on screen. Not these dumb huge icons spread out across the screen.

The inventory icons are too huge, and force me to scroll inventory for a completely arbitrary reason. In the bank interface, there's a ton of wasted space and forces me to scroll inventory when there's room to expand the window.
I have to hold down on inventory icons to move them, but if I do it too long, it brings up right click menu. Too short, and it eats/uses the item instead. Stylus would have solved this.

Why can't I modify the resolution? Let me use the full 1440P resolution of my phone.

Most of my complaints can be summed up like this: there's too much optimization for low end, low resolution phones that makes no sense for owners of high end, high resolution phones, especially those with Stylus. That's fine for those that need it, but let us customize icon sizes so we don't have to scroll, let us have simple, multiple ability bars on screen, etc.

Just let us use the standard "desktop" interface if we want as an option.

Totally support this and noticed the same thing on my samsung 9.7" tablet with 1440p resolution. The size of inventory and items seem too large. Almost how it feels when you set 800x600 resolution on a 1080p monitor (i.*., all the program icons look super big) lol...

I tested some more and found out you can have Revolution use the ability bar that is not currently in use, effectively allowing you to have "2" ability bars. But I still have my prayers on another bar, my defensive thresholds on another bar, etc.

Also, the inventory conflicts with the ability buttons. You can't use your abilities and keep inventory open, rendering slayer or combat in general needing Legacy Combat if you want to manage inventory space.

Also have a Note8 and also support this, the current HuD is incredibly difficult to use effectively when trying to engage in combat. id much prefer to have quite simply a 'mirror' image of the current HuD i have and am comfortable with, at this point i don't use it for slayer or bossing or just combat in general i mainly use mobile for skilling and checking ge merches when im away from home.

I definitely would give feedback to the end of more customization for mobile. I use a note 9 and find some of the UI obnoxious. Like how beautiful the game can look then you click a uncut gem (as an example) and the entire screen is bloated with the craft screen, large and ugly. Very unnecessary imo. I'd prefer it function similar to the desktop version.

I'm totally in bliss over the ability to play anywhere and on the go , but there many improvements that can be made imo. I find the combat system in Mobile to be considerably hindering. I have no doubt nobody will be doing high end combat performance on mobile like high enrage telos , but I do think we can close the gap alot more than we have now. Having smaller buttons and the ability to activate more keybinds on the screen would be a start. I don't need a surge button as large as my thumb when we could squeeze in more necessary abilities for more combat situations.

A one size fits all doesn't work here. We need customization, to our own device screen size and resolution and our ability to accurately fit and use more things on the screen.

Having access to the desktop version would be good for more PC-like android devices like android notebooks/2-in-1s and android TV boxes.

I tried playing on my android TV box and couldn't even log in due to the lack of mouse support.
