If you're hash of all possible options is not super big (megabytes) I'd just go that route and not worry about the memory. You may be optimizing prematurely.</span><div>

Hash would as well (copy pasting, instead of editing a ton of different files)..</span></font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">The variables are all 8digit hex color codes, there are about 26 vars that I'm expecting to grab from the config file (in hash scenario, would be 26 members), and currently 19 different possibilities, will be 50 by the end of the month, and I expect it to grow as themes/ROMs/probably devices are added later.</span></font></div>

<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">Currently, I have working a 'require', with 2 files. one holds info on the ROM (the stuff on the phone), and one holds info on the theme that the user selected to apply. The vars in each are compared, and if they don't match up, then the file that holds that text is modified and marked for inclusion (that's essentially how it works, anyway).</span></font></div>
