Hi Nick, Yes, Replicant 9 will greatly improve on this area.
On the development build, software rendering is already working a bit faster than on Replicant 6 ( https://grimkriegor.zalkeen.net/public/alaunch.mp4 ) and we should be able to squeeze some more performance out of it. Better still, it will use hardware acceleration, through the Mesa Lima driver, on the i9300 and other phones with a Mali 4xx GPU ( http://www.belg.in/replicant_9.webm ). The progress on this front is being tracked at https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GraphicsReplicant9 Regards, David On 16/10/2019 11:53, Nick wrote: > Hi, > > My biggest issue with Replicant at the moment is the latency when > typing on the screen; the delay between pressing a button and seeing > the screen respond.
