Without deeper traces from emulator it's hard to say where it goes wrong. 
However, the white screen in startup usually tells that QML parsing is broken 
somewhere. If you look at traces from emulator (as root: journalctl -f) you 
should see reference to broken qml in that situation.

thanks,Jarko

Subject: [SailfishDevel] Problems porting our game to Sailfish - welcome any    
advice

Hello everyone,

I've started work porting our Qt-based game from Symbian over to Sailfish and 
I'm hitting a pretty major roadblock at the moment. It looks like I haven't set 
something up in the graphics system properly and would be very grateful for any 
help that anyone can provide.

A brief outline:
* The application uses the QGraphicsView framework. We set up the QGraphicsView 
object once at the start of the game and then replace the QGraphicsScene object 
at various points as the user moves through the application.
* We have overriden the drawForeground() method within the QGraphicsScene 
objects and manually pass the QPainter object that we receive to the various 
elements of the UI, which use it to draw to the screen.
* The QGraphicsView object is set not to update itself.  We have a timer in a 
manager class, which fires 60 times a second, from where we manually call 
repaint() on the QGraphicsView object.

Current state:
* All code has been tidied up to build under Qt5 and non-Sailfish components, 
such as Phonon, are currently #ifdeffed out.
* On execution the game runs and moves through a couple of QGraphicsScenes, but 
only ever displays a white screen.  The calls to QGraphicsView::repaint() are 
ignored and the QDisplayScenes only have their drawForeground() methods called 
once, directly after instantiation.  Why we only get a white screen I'm also 
not sure.  This is all on the latest emulator.

An excerpt from the log is shown below with basic class hierarchy:
DisplayScene ->- QGraphicsScene
BootupScene ->- DisplayScene
TitleMenuScene ->- DisplayScene

1:    libpng warning: Malformed iTXt chunk

17;   SWITCH
18:   >>GameManager::FrameTimerTick - repaint

20:
21:   calling QGraphicsView::SetScene()
22:   >>GameManager::FrameTimerTick - repaint
23:   TitleMenuScene::drawForeground
24:   DisplayScene::drawForeground  QRectF(1,1 538x958)
25:   <<GameManager::FrameTimerTick - repaint
26:   >>GameManager::FrameTimerTick - repaint
27:   <<GameManager::FrameTimerTick - repaint
28:
29:   ...
30:
31:   >>GameManager::FrameTimerTick - repaint
32:   User requested stop. Shutting down...
33    <<GameManager::FrameTimerTick - repaint

As you can see when the GameManager calls QGraphicsView repaint() we don't get 
any calls to the Scenes' drawForeground().

The setup code for the QGraphicsView is:

0:    setScene(iScene);
1:    setOptimizationFlags(QGraphicsView::IndirectPainting);
2:    setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOff);
3:    setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOff);
4:    setRenderHint(QPainter::Antialiasing);
5:    setCacheMode(QGraphicsView::CacheBackground);
6:    setViewportUpdateMode(QGraphicsView::NoViewportUpdate);
7:    resize(iScreenWidth, iScreenHeight);
8:    viewport()->setAttribute(Qt::WA_AcceptTouchEvents);

I'm assuming the issue is either here or that I have incorrectly set up the 
configuration files for Sailfish.  Here's our main.cpp file:
MyApplication ->- QApplication

0:    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
1:    {
2:        MyApplication a(argc, argv);
3:
4:        QWidget* screen = QApplication::desktop()->screen();
5:        GameManager w(screen->width(), screen->height(), a);
6:        return a.exec();
7:    }

I based the Sailfish installation files off of the sample application, it's 
possible I made an error here.
