# Slow performance on mid to low end devices. | |||

The first is not really in our control, but if we can feedback to Google, we probably should. #2 is within our control and we have been working on [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=947390 improving pageload performance]. We need to make sure we include mid and low end devices when profiling/testing. Some of the data we have been gathering shows that regions, like Brazil, where we are growing, are the same regions where we are being rated poorly due to performance. Those regions also seem to be using mid to low end devices. The third we may have a solution for, glandium and snorp are investigating. | |||

====Stuff I don't have time for update:==== | |||
Help wanted for {{Bug|951865}}. Build system patch has f+, pretty basic review comments. If somebody could push it over the line, that would help GeckoView development. | |||
If somebody cares about alternate build systems/better Android resource management/integration with IntelliJ, I pushed some rough hacks at building with Gradle (must be 1.9!) to https://github.com/ncalexan/gecko-dev/commits/nalexander/gradle | |||
You need to build and package, and then remove $OBJDIR/mobile/android/base/generated/org/mozilla/gecko/{R,Manifest}.java to prevent build errors. Easy to add this exclusion to the geckoview/build.gradle file. | |||
There are hard-coded paths, all sorts of nastiness. It was just proof-of-concept, and indeed, I was able to build a working Fennec APK using gradle. | |||
====Real update:==== | |||
Full steam ahead on Firefox Accounts for Android. I landed {{Bug|955808}} and {{Bug|956816}}. Prereqs for Firefox Account + Sync login state machine. rnewman did a heroic first review of said state machine and preliminary UX on Monday night before his PTO. rnewman landed {{Bug|956442}} and {{Bug|956935}} for Sync migration. Goal is to push a try build with preliminary UX to design team and QA this Friday. | |||
