"But you should know that the webview used by phonegap is generally one generation older than the current mobile browser provided with the device." Is that right? Is web browser used by WebView a different thing that a default Android browser?

It absolutely is in android 4.2. After that it depends on the android version. My app have perfect smooth transitions in the chrome browser. yet in the phonegap webview animations are slower & I have rendering bugs I never saw in chrome. Can't find direct sources right now, but it's fixed in android 4.4, you get chrome http://www.mobilexweb.com/blog/android-4-4-kitkat-browser-ch...

I'm honoured to get a reply for post's author. Thanks for a link to very good article.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you talk like this in real life to people? If I told you about an app I was making, you would tell me its garbage, then brag about what you built? Unless you've actually been in my environment and used my app that we've been developing straight for the past year , kindly fuck off.

unless you actually have a product to show, it's his word against yours. Devs always brag about how fast their html apps are, these "fast" apps are nowhere to be seen, or do very little things that require performance.

It's my word against his, I'm the developer, I know what I'm making. I have no problem in him not believing me. The problem is disbelief and then commenting on it, which is fruitless as I'm not in a position to preview my app to the public, nor is he in any position to comment on an application he hasn't seen or used.

Take my experience for what it's worth, if it's worth nothing then skip me.
