Phonegap 3 white flash after splash

Question

I know this has been asked (and answered) several times (Phonegap showing white screen after the splash screen - IOS, Phonegap 2.0 - on app launch a white screen flashes pri

Answer 1

I have a problem with the plugins or some problem with phonegap so

function onDeviceReady() {
    navigator.splashscreen.show();
}

doesn't work for me.

I fixed it by setting the webview alpha to 0 until it's loaded:

3 steps:

1. in the file "CDVViewController.m" in method "-(void)createGapView" I added:
   self.webView.alpha=0;
2. in the file "MainViewController.m" in method "-(void)WebViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView*)theWebView" I added: theVebView.alpha=1;
3. in the file "MainController.xib" I changed the background to black (set it to any color you prefer).

Now instead of a white screen flash I have a black one until the content is fully loaded. good enough for me. (although not perfect)

hope this helps..
