For example, run the clock app after boot up. Notice that the clock showing a wrong time is displayed shortly, then the correct time is displayed.

Comment 1

[Leo]

It seems that this behavior is coded on purpose and it happens in the following method.

windows.addEventListener('mozbrowserfirstpaint', function firstpaint(evt) { ... }


When we comment out the above method and reset-gaia, it gives better user experience! When I launch the clock application in cold state (kill in cardview and launch), there is no more splash displaying the captured image with random time.

I'd like to confirm with UX whether we need to keep this logic of displaying captured image on app launch, which can be misleading in some cases.

We have a patch in bug 837338 going through UX and code review.
