I don't mind at all having the system app handle more of these things. Moving the logic from gecko to gaia means that we have more code which is running in JS rather than C++ which generally is a good thing. Additionally, gaia does have access to a lot more information about various UI edge cases than Gecko does, which should mean less guess-work and more accurate algorithms. The system app does have access to wakelocks already. And there's various audio policies that we'd like to implement which I think would be easier to implement by giving the system app access to audio information. So I suspect that we'll get that too no matter what. Thinker is pointing out one important problem that we'd need to solve though. At least for when we are receiving a phone call, it is important that we are able to as quickly as possible launch the process for the dialer app and give it a high CPU and LMK priority. But that seems solvable even if most of the other processing is happening through the system app. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
