Hmm, actually yeah, for placeholders it makes sense. I'm not sure we'll be adding much new to C2 by now though, but we'll consider this kind of thing for C3.

Please note this is a closed bug report, and as of the latest beta all known sound issues in Safari/iOS should be fixed.

This doesn't sound like a good idea. Text in images has a lot of limitations: you can't change the contents (e.g. to translate it), you can't change the style easily, it is poorer quality (doesn't increase in detail on high-dpi screens, will just do a blurry-looking linear filter)... if you use a Text object it solves all of this!

Sorry, there is nothing we can do without a .capx and steps to reproduce. Please see the bug report guidelines. Can you find a way to reproduce this in a new empty project which you can submit?

Can you file a bug report requesting this with a demo? It will most likely be lost in the forums otherwise (as looks like has already happened before!)

We specifically recommend you do not do this. Your modified platform behavior will not stay up to date with future official changes to the platform behavior.

I'm not quite clear what the changes are for and why they are necessary - but it would be far better to update the official behavior to incorporate this. Having said that, the platform behavior is very complicated and we've had a lot of trouble with even minor changes causing a cascade of other bug reports afterwards. So this may not be easy to integrate.

Did you check what the problematic devices say in chrome://gpu?

Crosswalk includes the whole Chromium browser engine which does increase the APK size, but it's necessary for Android 4.x devices. Their built-in webviews are too slow and limited to run games otherwise. Android 5.0+ should be fine without crosswalk.

What version of Android do the devices have?

What does Chrome say if you navigate to chrome://gpu on the device? Is anything software rendered?

How does Crosswalk perform? You should definitely try that, especially on any devices older than Android 5.0.

It's different for every project, because only the plugins, behaviors and effects that your project actually uses are compiled in. This means it can be a pretty small script for small projects.

iOS is designed with the idea that users never close apps. You just go back to the home screen by pressing the home button.
