Alternative to jQuery Mobile Listview

I am currently using the jQuery Mobile List View with dividers for a contact list in my PhoneGap app. But I have found it to be very flaky with large number of items in the list. The two main issues I have found are

  1. Scrolling a long list doesn't work well. Need to integrate with iScroll.
  2. The iScroll integration often causes errors when a scroll will register as a click.

Is there a simple stand alone list view I can replace it with? I don't want to totally replace jQueryMobile at this stage.

You could consider displaying it in a table and using classes from the jQuery Mobile CSS to quickly style it. Or you could remove the default application of listview and just style it yourself.

It may be worth taking a step back and, from a user's point of view, considering whether such a long list is friendly for the end-user (let alone jQuery mobile).
