  3. Status update of fingerprint reader support for community devices (5 min – asked by ApBBB) (Jaymzz, 08:20:20)
    1. It was discussed previously and jolla was looking into a solution so community devices can use the fingerprint support in SFOS. Update us on the status of it. (Jaymzz, 08:20:29)
    2. We have been doing some research around the problem, and made some progress on removing device specifics from fingerprint backend. It's not complete yet, so can't share the results or estimate on when it would be. (Jaymzz, 08:21:02)

  4. Performance of the SFOS UI (15 min – asked by ApBBB) (Jaymzz, 08:24:09)
    1. I am running -and using daily- SFOS on a quite fast device and cant help think that it feels kind of unresponsive interacting with it. Some of those are design decisions like the tile then fullscreen app start (which i feel is wrong) and then there are hiccups when moving through different pages of an app or scrolling lists etc. If you activate the frame rate viewer you see a lot of red lines doing the above so it might (Jaymzz, 08:24:20)
    2. Design is aware if this. Performance is essential for current generation of users. Android and iOS run smoothly. Next to plain processing power, the UI design has also impact on the perceived performance, meaning it may generate the feeling of slowness or speedy interaction and progress. We are considering improving app launching transitions to improve perceived speed in future. (Jaymzz, 08:29:00)
