Feature-request: split the strings.xml for in-device and settings related strings

In most of the apps I've seen most of the strings are used for settings, still those strings are included in the memory footprint of the app. It would be very useful to split strings.xml to device-strings.xml and settings-strings.xml.

    Same issue applies to other strings that are probably never used by the app, like:

    - the string for the app name

    - strings for FIT contributor labels

    So to be precise, "settings-strings.xml" would really by "non-device-strings.xml" (or something like that.)

    Basically any resource that's only needed for the store (and not the app at runtime), should be allocatable to a separate resource area, at the developer's discretion.
