I have compressed the PNG assets, and
skeleton/system/res/assets.svg, using compressor.io.The result is significantly smaller file sizes for graphical assets, for example:
I haven't tested this on a real device. In theory, smaller images should be faster to load, but not sure how big of an impact this makes in practice. Generally speaking, the quality change from compression is pretty much indistinguishable to the naked eye, but maybe the fine-grained line/grid assets under
res/might just show some sort of difference. Needs to be verified on a real device.I have not touched the bootlogo images that ship with
Bootlogo.pak. Those are BMP assets, which cannot be compressed like PNG. These BMPs are very large in file size, though (45 MB altogether) and there might be an opportunity to bring them down in file size, and perhaps also impact performance when they are loaded and displayed.
