I created a DDS import library for my application. At this point i noticed that there seems to be no support for DXT5 textures, is this correct or i’m blind?

devices based on NVIDIA Tegra actually do support S3TC formats. Excrepted from “OpenGL ES 2.0 Development for the Tegra Platform“:
This one is normally present in the extensions string.
The implementation supports specifying textures with the GL_COMPRESSED_RGB[A]_S3TC_DXT1_EXT formats. Not exported on Tegra, but supported.
The implementation supports specifying textures with the GL_COMPRESSED_RGBA_S3TC_DXT[1,3,5]_EXT formats.
This is very nasty since there are extensions supported that are not present in the extensions string. But at least they are supported. As for non-tegra devices, it’s hard to tell.
