    Bitmaps are very big memory consumers. Having two loaded into memory could be the big issue. You should consider using BitmapFactory.Options when you decode a new bitmap. Also, you don’t need bm2. Instead, replace that line with this:

    bm = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bm, width, height, true);
    

    Finally, if you have no other options, you can increase your app’s heap size using the Application attribute android:largeHeap="true" in your AndroidManifest.xml. This option should not be needed – and should only be considered for extremely graphic-intensive applications.

    EDIT

    Another link you may find helpful for optimizing Bitmap usage: http://developer.android.com/training/tv/optimizing-layouts-tv.html#HandleLargeBitmaps
