FAQ
How to store per-market customization configurations in a private repo?
- Store each of the files changed only.
- Currently these are in various locations in the filesystem.
- For v2, we should consolidate to a single location, similar to the branding directories we have for Gecko.
How do you build the product with a specific market's configuration?
- Copy your changed files into a checkout of Gaia, and build using that modified Gaia.

How and where do you define a customized app grid layout?
- It's currently in gaia/apps/homescreen/js/init.json
Is it possible to define whether an app is removable in the homescreen configuration?
- No. All apps that are in /system/b2g are non removable, those in /data are removable. Since all preloaded apps come from /system, we need to move them to /data if we want them to be removable.
How do you add a preloaded packaged app to the build?
- In gaia/external-apps
- Many 3rd party apps will not be added to the Gaia repo, so need to determine how to add them. Build step?
How do you add a preloaded hosted app to the build?
- They are also added to gaia/external-apps. We have different meta-data for packaged and hosted apps to distinguish them.
How do you prepare a preloaded hosted app for initial offline support?
- You need to provide all the files to cache in the directory external-apps/MY_APP/cache, and the appcache manifest.
Process Questions
- Is it better to have specific bugs for each app on a homescreen grid, or just one bug per layout per market?
- How to deliver/retrieve code for pre-loading? Manual delivery of assets, or suck it from a live app?
