Themes with ringers work differently on your memory than a normal theme.

An example.

My phone has the theme "08-02A" on it. There is an attached ringer (Contra Medley). In all, the theme is 59KB. Separately, the theme is 38KB and the ringer is 21KB. My phone has 694KB free on it.

I now change to my "Monochrome" theme (made for outside use) which has an attached ringer. When I change, the previous ringer (Contra Medley) is removed and switched with the new ringer that is attached to the Monochrome theme (Nokia Ringtone).

The theme, in all, is 6KB. Separately, the theme is 5KB and the ringer is 1KB. I now have 714KB of free memory on my phone.

Looking at this, we now look at the mathematical side.

Okay, we look at how much space the ringer took up. It was 21KB. My phone already had the theme on it, so all we have to look at right now, is the ringer that is being loaded. When we load the new theme, it deletes the ringer out of the ringer list. It then loads up the new ringer into the ringer inventory.

However, one thing has puzzled me. I thought that when you changed the themes around (even if they didn't have an attached ringer), that they would mess with the amount of memory that you had, but then again, I could be wrong.
