Description

Steps to reproduce:
> cordova create pgtest com.example.hello "App"
> cd pgtest
> cordova platform add android
> cordova build android

Resulting app has almost 8MB. The problem is, that "www/res" folder, which contains icons and splashscreens is completely copied into assets/www. So the resulting app contains splash screens for all possible mobile platforms, which is completely useless. Res folder should not be copied at all, because right place for resources is res/drawable.

BTW I tried the same commands with phonegap. Resulting app is significantly smaller (1.7MB) but it also contains unnecessary resources in www/res.

Still not understand what is the difference between "phonegap local build" and "cordova build"
