Core Apps » ChatSecure:Android

These large bitmaps use a ton of memory. They need to be resized for the various ldpi, mdpi, hdpi, etc. so that they don't cause crashes on smaller or older devices.

This bitmap causes a crash every time I try to get past the initial set password screen on my Gingerbread emulator (256megs of RAM). Yes, this is a tiny amount of RAM, but it is good for quickly finding problems like this. On devices with 512 megs of RAM (quite common), ChatSecure will dominate the RAM, causing things like Orbot and other Services to be killed.

Just upped the RAM on my 2.3.3 emulator to 512, and I got a little further, but not even to the main screen before I got this:

can we skip the decoration update for now? The old locks background was nice. We really need to get this app stable and reliable.

Hopefully fixed here:

I couldn't use chatsecure in any emulator because it kept crashing, so I went ahead and fixed it.
