APK size

[IzzySoft]

Starting with v1.2.0, APKs increased in size by factor 30 – which is quite a lot. I assume this is mostly due to the native libraries being added for all the different architectures.

Would it be possible to "slim down" a bit?

For example, is the 6M raw soundfile (an MP3 I assume) really needed in the package (res/raw/song)? And as Android devices using MIPS architecture are not that wide-spread, maybe have an APK without this architecture, saving another ~10M? A "minimal" APK could even only ship with armeabi+x86, which should work on all ARM and X86 devices – and that APK would shrink down to ~11..12M (still factor 10 to what it was before v1.2.0). If the "full APK" is available separately, everyone is free to chose.

@hikikomoriphoenix no comment at all? I've just checked again: without that song, size goes down to 30M. Leaving out mips as well, to 25M (one third). ARM only would be 15M (less than half of the original size).
