1193234 - [emulator-kk] [emulator-x86-kk] reconsider the number of rild enabled

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Emulator, defect)

Description

[Edgar Chen [:edgar]]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1163483 +++

We enabled 9 rild on emu-kk and emu-x86-kk. We enabled that many because at that time we heard that there could be a 6-sim device requirement. However, since then we don't see that happened.

I'm filing this bug to see if it's worth keeping 9 rild or it makes more sense to maintain just 2 rild for now.

1) performance issue: I noticed even on emu-x86-kk that Callscreen transition is not smooth at all due to the need to check the status of 9 sims ... it implies that there's room for improvement in our gecko code but still wondering what if we simply reduce the unnecessary rild number.

2) still have a dream that emulator could be used more widely on gaia-ui tests. To achieve that, we need to have an emulator configured as our gaia has been aware
