my ques is does using big mmc like 256, 512 slow down the proscing
does it have any negative effect to use big mmc

i am using 256 mmc my prossing is slow and not able to uremove any software
wht should i do?

and does using theme slow down the process of the phone
which themes slow down
can some on give the examples

how cam we over come over these prob?

Without a doubt yes,

Using a large mmc will slow the phone down when searching or opening files or apps from it,its like finding a penny among 5 pennies against finding the same penny amongst 50,as always a compromise on what you really need and want.

As far as themes go,it depends on the .sis size which will reflect the amount of images in the theme,imo themes that are 300kb or more will be noticeably slower than smaller .sis.

Thats why there is no point in making a theme using images all over the show when the majority of these images will only be seen briefly (best to stick to a solid theme related colour to keep the size down).

😃

You cant,

Like i said it is a compromise,use the default theme and mmc if you want speed,and use a 500kb theme and 512mb mmc if you want looks and storage space.

i am currently using 256 mb mmc and the orignal in bulit nokia theme
i think its works fine.

but using themes like mango it slow down the process its 776 kb
