[UPG] P_D Optimizations [03.14.10: ELFin HD2 Theme]

ELF/ELFin UI Optimization

Our Elves aren't getting faster, and each day, system builds and apps are getting nicer, but bigger. This thread is to take some system image files, put them on a diet, reducing file sizes, and gaining a faster user interface. Using S.V.I's technique and some graphic design knowledge, I have been able to shrink most files considerably, decreasing load speeds and increasing responsiveness.

Notes:

ELFin HD2 Theme
• Theme is lighter than stock M2D, even with the full screen weather effects. Running 2mb less in RAM.
• For best results, install over a clean Manila 2D (stock theme).
• I am runnning 250mhz and this theme, the ELFin is just what it should be.
• For complete look, try Livven black theme, and add from custom pack: Plain Taskbar and Softkeys.

Footprints
• Fix transparency issues
• Tighten bitmap depths and grayscales

Graphic Designer friend of mine who knows nothing about Phones told me as I was asking for imaging tips....."if the images are black, white or grayscale, don't save them as color (RGB or CMYK), it'll save you a heap of file size"

So I'm gonna put the Comm Manager on another diet after work

Uploaded the Op* Comm Manager, it's as light as it gets.

Since my Mac does'nt do .cabs....can someone make a .cab out of it.

Also, on that note, could somebody extract the HTC Ez Input 2.1 keyboard, I use it, and it's a resource hog, and at 8mb .cab, it is not a light keyboard either.

Hi

Your optimisations are designed for cooks isn't it?

Not neccesarily, just copy all the files to the /Windows directory. Don't forget to disable TouchFlo from the Today settings.

But if I install your commManager over the one that's already cooked it will not make it smaller, since it cannot replace it ?

Yes it will, untick Touchflo, and copy it, i suggest using Total Commander. It will overwrite the larger files.
