deodex file

Hi guys
I'd manage to manually deodex the app and framework file from my stock rom. The problem are I can't push them either thru adb nor update.zip. Been googling around but can't really get a correct adb command for sgs. I need to push these files so that I can install themes. Anybody who can guide please help. Thanks in advance.

You need super user permission to push things into read only memory. So you would need to go through adb shell, mount whatever folder framework is in to readable, etc.

Hi snapper.fishes
By the way, I got superuser permission. The only problem I don't know the correct command for the adb shell - su - mount etc, etc....
This are the command I got from Droid forum but it does not work for SGS I guest.
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
Anybody got any idea?

Try this:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system
reboot

Thanks for the tips g00ndu. If I push those deodex file, they will overide and delete all the odex file right? Should I disable the universal lagfix first and is it safe pushing deodex file this way?

I say remove the lagfix first. It's not necessary, but if you do screw up your phone you are going to have to reflash your phone, and the last thing you want to do is to flash your phone with lagfix on.

It's been a long time since I pushed files this way. Right now I'm using update zips and flash it via ulfk. Reason: it is much more simpler and more effective. If I remember correctly, your apk files need to be deleted too before you can push your deodexed apks and jars files to the system folder if you do it via adb.
Besides, I would not advocate this method of pushing through adb, bcos, there is always chances that your /system, /data partitions may result in data corruption.
Try using update zip.

Thanks for your reply g00ndu. I've already try that. But after the zip file updated nothing happen. Maybe the zip creator that I use is not compatible with sgs. Can you kindly link to the correct source for sgs. Or maybe you can post the file and tutorial here so that we can learn the correct method from you. Thank you so much for that.

Hey angiogram... I'm not sure if this thread still has a pulse, but I came across this thread and feel confident I can offer you some great information.
g00udu was on the right track, only one small detail I would add is reverting the permissions back to the system files once returned to the system directory.
See this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990238
for an extremely detailed step by step how to perform this process from beginning to end.
If this issue has been resolved, keep it for future reference or pass it on to someone who you believe it may help.
Peace-

Thanks Liv33vil.

How to remove the demo games?

I went to /system/app and found most applications, but the only thing that I really want to find are the demo games, and for some reason I can't find them! I even went to /data/app and found the apk packages there, I deleted them but the games are still installed.
Any ideas?

Are they in /cust?

if i have not remembered wrongly, the demo games r in /system/app/..
what specific game(s) do u want to remove? i can give u the location tonight after work (as i stored the paths in my home pc..)

FYI. Mine are all in /cust/pccw/hk/app.

is it possible\safe to delete them?

if u meant those "Ironman", "Prince of Persia", etc., then its okay to delete them..
i did..

My phone didnt have any demo games and i found it weird couse in all the reviews i saw them in the menu screen...

my memory didnt fail me.. the 4 games that i removed were all in /system/app/
BubbleBash2.apk (Launcher: Bubble Bash 2)
IronMan2.apk (Launcher: Iron Man 2)
PrinceofPersiaZero.apk (Prince of Persia)
UNO.apk (Launcher: UNO)
btw, im with the hong kong B135 version..

@flipmodegr
yeah, it seems that ROM for Wind is cleaner..

nice to hear that its normal for the greek phones

yes, Wind Gr gives a stock android rom (not even hauwei has added anything) so its clean like water

Thanks everyone I found them in /cust/roadhound/au/app but for some reason I can't mount the location as R/W using Root Explorer.. my phone IS rooted.. I don't know why it does not let me mount it as R/W.. therefore I can't delete them!!
Any ideas on this?
Thanks

Try using adb or you could try in terminal emulator:
Mount R/W
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
Mount R/O
Code:
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system

I can mount /system as R/W.. I just cant mount that directory in R/W .. it just opens as R/O even if I mount /system as R/W

Oops sorry. See Below.
Try using adb or you could try in terminal emulator:
Mount R/W
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /cust_backup
Mount R/O
Code:
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /cust_backup
And the apps are in cust_backup/image/cust_data/roadhound/au/app. The /cust directory is just a link to the cust_backup direcctory. Which is why you cant mount it RW

Tried in Terminal Emulator, said
mount: Operation not permitted

then tried with sudo and said

Root is su

Ahh, I tried
sudo <<command here>>
su worked! Thanks finally removed them ... WOHO!
Thank you very much mate.. oz oz oz, oi oi oi!

I want to remove those demos too, is it possible with stock non-rooted system?

No.. you need to root it. It's quite easy to do.

Ms2GingerRC1 QWERTY fix (Argentina version)

Hi there!, first of all, I'm from Argentina, and my english is not so good (sorry!).
If you have a querty hardware keyboard (like all MS2 in Argentina) you must to fix the keyboard layout after updating from Froyo.
What we are goning to do, is replace the keyboard layout files with ones that came with Froyo. I'ts worked for me.
I assume that you are root.
Follow this steps.
1) Download the attachment file and unzip it.
2) Copy the two files to the SDCARD.
3) Open shell via adb and make /system/ writable.
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
4) Copy qwerty.kl to /system/usr/keylayout/
Code:
cp /sdcard/qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout/
5) Copy qwerty.kcm.bin to /system/usr/keychars/
Code:
cp /system/usr/keychars/qwerty.kcm.bin /system/usr/
6) Set /system back to read-only and reboot
Code:
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
7) That's it, I toked some things from [HOW-TOW] change hardware keyboard from the ms2ginger to qwertz (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216299), thanks to schuck_norrisch.

Manually Deodex Any S5830 Rom !!!

After i succesfull deodex my stock rom i've decided to share my experience with ya'll people ...
Here we go :
1. You must be rooted !!!
2. Download -> xUltimate
3. Unzip xUltimate v2.2, and launch "Main.exe"
4. Now xUltimate should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.
5. Run option 1. After option 1 is done, run option 2.
6. Now these well take a while. Run option 3
7. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "guava.odex". It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process.
8. Now run option 4, and wait.
9. Exit xUltimate, and put the phone in USB mass storage then copy "done_frame", and "done_app" to the root of the sdcard then put the phone in PC mode.
10. Open a command prompt, and do the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
busybox cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
busybox cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
After phone is boot, reboot again in CWM and Wipe Dalvin Cache, reboot and ENJOY !!!
Notice : The boot will take a little bit longer than normal (2-4 seconds +)
P.S. For step 7 ... there is no guava.odex, don't worry about, continue to next step !

Fisrt post ! Good work dude!!

You must have adb (by installing android sdk, platform-tools, install usb driver too) and jdk to do this if anyone is wondering.

Well the title says manually deodex. But this uses the tool. To manually do it you need to decompile each app individually and then edit it.
Btw, nice giude..

ERROR!
Tried this on my stock ddkq8 gingerbread 2.3.6 rom. But whenever I run this line: busybox cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
it says cp: No space left on device.
and my phone bricks.
It seems that the command does not overwrite the files in /system/app and thus the error.
BTW what do you mean by pc mode?
PLS reply!

done_app will have all the deodexed apps like settings, dialer, phone and others
done_frame will have framework files like framework-res, android.policy.jar
as email cannot be deodexed, we need to copy both email.apk and email.odex, else you'll get a bootloop
