All apks don't actually have any additional compression added to them. The image resources for all apks have been extracted and put through png optimisation for mobile devices. As far as I am aware this should not add any additional load on to the CPU because the compression of the apk isn't actually increased so it should not induce increased load to display resources, resources should in fact load faster and reduce load and therefor should actually free up CPU? I am not 100% certain of that but it makes sense when you think about it?

I will do some testing once I have finished building a new ROM package.

On that note, I wanted to announce to everyone that I will be creating a new Comminity ROM package version 2.0 and will hand this over to [MENTION=2103952]sonyc2011[/MENTION] for him to review and update the OP if he thinks this is a good idea? I know I started this thread, but up until now I have been fairly unreliable due to my personal life interferences, so I am not here to take over again (as I don't feel that would be fair), but I would like to still contribute to the ROM.

AROMA INSTALL PACKAGE

Basically a break down of what I have on offer for us all.

ROM will be broken up like this:

CORE - Consists of only the bare essentials of the Samsung firmware (stripped ROM with only the necessities required to run)

This will include all the patches required to make the ROM function as it should with all acknowledgments to their respected contributors i.e. [MENTION=4320769]kenar2[/MENTION] auto-rotation fix.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OPTIONAL - Consists of all the additional Samsung bloatware + some of the stuff we have grown to enjoy (these will be broken up into the following categories:

AccuWeather - This is something that a lot of people remove or change to another alternative weather app (these will be installed as system apps)

AllShare - I use this but a lot of people remove it so it is best to offer this as an option (these will be installed as system apps)

Dropbox - I use this but a lot of people remove it so it is best to offer this as an option (note these if installed will be installed as user apps inside /data/app so they can be easily uninstalled)

FavoritesWidgets - I never use this and never will and always remove them however some others may wish to use these (these will be installed as system apps)

Fonts - I never use these fonts and remove them to save space (these will be installed as system apps)

- on a side note I have a whole heap of optional fonts for install for Samsung Kitkat - please search my posts if you are looking for compatible alternatives

GoogleApps - This I think should be segregated from the ROM like AOSP only because I think people should be allowed the option to install these as user apps and not be forced to have them inside system (all the Google Apps relocated from /system/app -> /data/app). List of apks

OptusCSCBalloonWP - these are generic static wallpapers that supplement the wallpaper picker apk that allow you to set additional Balloon wallpapers for lock and homescreens (without editing the system apk - Note these supplement the Optus CSC but I may update them to work with the generic unbranded CSC upon request) these were created by me not by Samsung but offering them to XDA members to use if they like

BuildPropTweaks - Additional build.prop tweaks by me. These have not been fully tested as yet but will be shortly. These should do a wide range of things mostly to do with increasing phone performance and usability. All build prop tweaks are commented and re-organised by category.
