This came from the Touch Pro (Juggs .88B ROM).

I just tried seeqpod. Damn, that's fast. I'm looking forward to some more ups.

Here you go, these are the EXE's I compressed here at work:

I'll post more when I get home. (This is really easy because it stores the backups in a folder, so you can just go back and re-compress everything and zip them up like I did here.)

For those of us who dont know: What are the advantages of compressed apps over a regular app?

Also what does the version of Opera posted in this thread do that the one currently on our phones dont ?

Maybe you could put a brief description of the app next to the links in post one?
Thanks

With the compressed app, the size of the file on the disk is smaller. For instance, a 1.5mb file might compress down to about 400kb. This improves the speed at which the programs start since the filesize is smaller.

The file won't take up less RAM, however. In fact, it will take up more. The added UPX code will make the file take up a slightly bit more ram when in use (the file gets uncompressed as it's loaded.)

Although the compressed EXE's take up slightly more room in RAM when loaded, the overall benefit outweighs the extra ram needed. A program without upx compression at 1.5mb might take up 1.5mb of ram, but after UPX compression it could sit on the disk as a 400kb file, then take up 1.7mb of ram after it's completely loaded.

These file sizes I use are for example only and differ from app to app.

makes sense now. I thought they were just compressed exe files form other devices.

If you go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481880 you can download "Squeezer 1.1" which basically is a utility you use on your PC. You drag and drop EXE's from your phone into one folder, run a .bat file, then find the compressed versions of those EXE's in another folder and drag them back onto your phone. It's pretty simple. If you want to get to exe's found in your windows or program files directory, use activesync as your connection type.

The explanation of the advantages is in bold in the first post, but I like Chronster's explanation far better...

I thought about putting a brief description but later decided against it... these exe's are really only going to be beneficial to user who already know and use the app that's been compressed... so they know what it is already.

Perfect breakdown!

here you go:

ok starting from the top:

AEButton plus is version 2.6.3
Audio booster I'm unsure of, but it came with my stock sprint rom if that helps.
AutoRun.exe is from MortScript and the mortscript version I have is version 4.1
The FingerMenu exe's are from version 1.10.
Kinoma is version 5.0.69
Launcher.exe belongs to Sprint TV (along with SprintTV.exe) and I'm unsure what the version is. Whatver the latest one is (I'll check when i get service)
Mundu is version 1.0.14
Unsure of what version MusicID is but it's the one with the blue bar at the top, not the one with pink all over it.
PictureMail was from the update from Sprint's website (sorry i cant find version number.)
Skyfire is version 0.9.0.9151
TeleNav is straight from TeleNav's website and it's version 5.1.16

Sorry for not being able to get more details on some of them.
