Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is that I use 2 different wrappers, one for the desktop and one for the device. Possibly, somehow it would be possible to add SSE to the desktop wrapper, but it will be very difficult to get it added to the device wrapper as I have no control over that. Will bear this option in mind though.
