Splash Screen #73

Closed cip closed 12 years ago

cip commented 12 years ago

Load time of qml version is significantly longer than of widget version. Therefore addition of a splash screen makes sense.

Implemented in 4211712b01d11bfaf0416004e77ca24586699829 Comparision loadtime with and without splashscreen: wikipedia_de_all (2010) only zim in lib, opened on startup. Both ~8s, without splashscreen appearantly slightly (but insignificantly) faster. Note: With version 1.2.13 same zim (wikipedia_de_all), two files in lib: <7s (old value inaccurate, difference in mobile configuration (e.g. background tasks) or really faster now?)

Appearantly with new version status bar not updated correctly anymore. (e.g. time). Check whether related with splash screen change or something different. Delay time update appearantly general problem. (Also occurs in nokia store). To reproduce: Open app, wait until minute should change. Click status bar, time is update. If status bar is not clicked update is >30 s later. Other issue is that loading not indicated: Battery as if empty. Not related to splashscreen as occurs with pre-splashscreen version as well. However does not occur with 1.2.5 (17.11.2011). Other difference is that new version is unsigned. TODO investigate

Battery indicator issue rechecked in 1.2.9 (devcert signed):

Not clear whether this was really working in 1.2.5, as description of what was tested not detailed enough in last comment.

However, as issue is minor, and difficult to fix (if at all), issue closed.
