What version(s) of Android are you testing on? Are you using the Canvas tag?

There is a known issue on 4.4 when using the new Chromium-backed web view that the Canvas tag is no longer hardware accelerated, and as such, games that use it will experience severe slowdowns. Last I knew, there was no fix.

Terribly frustrating -- 4.3's webview had its problems with the canvas tag as well, but at least it was accelerated. Now 4.4's web view fixes those particular problems (ghosting, etc.), but now loses the acceleration. *sigh*

Short of a fix being available and easy to implement, atm, HTML5 games using canvas are DOA on Android 4.4. Very, very frustrating.

Yeah, I'm afraid you're toast under android 4.4 due to that particular bug.

See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=315111

Very frustrating that there doesn't seem to be any movement on this bug. :-(

Be sure to star the issue when you take a look so the bug gets plenty of votes.

Ok, thx Kerri.

Hello,

first, try to not mix phonegap and cordova CLI. If you want to use only phonegap, you should use only 3 commands:

phonegap create my_app_name

cd my_app_name

phonegap run android

The last command will add the PhoneGap Android wrapper which at this time is different from the one used by Cordova.

About your game speed, it may seem counterintuitive but I've noticed an improvement in speed by removing the android:hardwareAccelerated=true from the application tag in AndroidManifest.xml. Also change the minSdkVersion from "10" to "14".

Hope it will help,

Misu

AppMobi has made a accelerated canvas. I think all from AppMobi has moved into the Intel XDK, so it is free. Maybe this can help.
