Tweaking Phonegap´s app execution performance

Question

I am been building a various amount of PhoneGap Apps, and i run into the same problem everytime.

They dont run that fast, to be honest. The task of collecting 5 rows from the internal database is slow. Im talking seconds slow.

The issue is not the code, i have tried with phonegap´s own testing codechunks from their site. Its a really simple code.

So i am running my phonegap development environment command promt wise. I install Node.js, ran the npm install -g phone commands and so forth. I have no eclipse.

What i can do is to fix my config.xml file, and edit it.

This has been mentioned in some threads and questions i read so far. But these i am not sure, dosent look like a config.xml fix, or some random JS for my index.html file.

• Adding android:hardwareAccelerated="true" in the manifest If you use
• webview webview.getSettings().setRenderPriority(RenderPriority.HIGH);
• and webview.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);

I am looking for a way to "enhance the performance of the app".

So far i havent been lucky on my google searches, actually i havent found any solid solutions yet. That might be that i dont know the correct search words.

Other than:

• Optimizing my Javascript
• Only enable what i need in the config.xml file
• Make sure to use optimized images

What did i miss?

Thanks :)
