You are welcome buddy!

 

[desalesouche]

does this work on unbutu 13.10? i guess it is for windows.
correct me if i am wrong.

 

[DroidOnRoids]

Does app compression also boost file system performance in anyway? Regardless, this is great!

 

[CobraCommander]

Su vaat che!

 

[dagoban]

Are there any downsides such as a slower phone?

 

[exadeci]

Could we have more info on what it does ?
Does it open apk res and compress them ?

 

[ATMOSF3AR]

really productive, that is. would definitely try it soon

 

[b_hermon]

Does this make any impact on receiving updates from the Play store? After updating would the apps be uncompressed?

 

[Dilesh Perera]

by comparing at files which was compressed i can see Res and resources.arsc got compressed. and th compression ratio is great too. i was using similar method called Go Optimizer by gu5t3r without any isse and helped me saved more space in my phone.

 

[customworx]

try it out right now ... really awesome dude! thanks

 

[Maurice5813]

this is the best tool! I'm a dev, so can I use this n the system apps of my roms before I make them into a flashable zip? Also, does this work on the framework-res.apk?

 

[Dilesh Perera]

[DivyaMamgai]

First of all sorry to not reply so late cause, I had exams and also the fact that I forgot to subscribe the thread.
I'm really sorry.

Yes you are right it is based on some of basic functions of Windows, also I don't think the setup might not work in Unbuntu.

Well I don't know accurately but check out this rom - Hyperion Xperia U , I have used Cassini in it and it really helped my device to handle multitasking in a much better way. But I won't get my hopes up in getting better performance.
