Elfs are standard unix binary executable files (a bit like windows .exe files).

The benefits of Elf files over Java (apps and games) include:

* Speed
* Ability to use all phone resources (processor instructions, ram, etc.)

The elf program is directly using the ARM processor and memory resources, without any virtual machine limitations. In other words - ELF programs are much faster.

The downsides...

* Battery consumption is increased due to the extra processor work.
* Elves can slow the phone down.
* Instability (ie crashing the phone!). Elfs are reletively new to the modding scene (just over a year or so) and are constantly in developement so bugs are common.

If you want more detail then check this:

hi again, I saw that isnt so simple to run sleepmode elf on w200, before to try it I wish to know (from who already tried it) what exactly this elf can do, I'm interesting in change display and clock colours during sleepmode, because the original ones are too dark and it's difficult to see them.

thanks all

It works the same no matter what phone it runs on. I really dont understand what u mean by 'how it works'. Instead of the phone using the default sleepmode the elf takes over and displays its own graphics. It can show all sorts of info that the default sleepmode cant like currant track info, mini gps info, day, battery info, memory info, background images etc.

yeah, this is all that I know man, what I still dont know is this:
original sleepmode (of w200) coming up after the block keys and when it's on the display stay always on showing a dark grey and black time and missing icons.
Now we suppose to install sleepmode elf, to change sleepmode layout (for example black display and dark red time and icons).
Then, after this modifications, when my phone goes into block keys mode > sleepmode will display show "always on" black background and dark red time and icons
OR
(like a lot of people told me) will display show that for few seconds and then goes off?
This is the thing that interest me, if modded sleepmode will be always on like the original one...

hope I succeed to be clear this time

thanks boysie

When sleepmode is activated when the elf is running, the display will be shown for a set period then goes off. The time it is displayed can be adjusted in the sleepmode ini. The whole point of it going off is to save battery power as sleepmode elf displays colours and uses more CPU processes so uses more battery. To see the display again u press one of the volume keys.
