hello , 

thanks for the reply quite useful.

For the time being the size and speed are not an issue, but how can i
protect the source code ?
bcoz when giving the application package to users, the source code (.php) is
accessible..
 
And one last thing, how can i change the icon of my app ? specially the one
which is on the top left corner after i open the application. 

Thanks
