Maybe you can tell us what the 4 mb pictures is used for. Say if you are working on a game and it is your scrolling background, maybe you could use tiles instead and only have smaller chunks.
I understand your question is about best practices, but maybe with a use case scenario of these bitmap someone can come up with a better strategy. I take it you also set the BitmapFactory.Options.inInputShareable to true so that BitmapFactory.Options.InPurgeable MIGHT not make a copy of the data ?
