I must be the only one to not notice any major speed differences between odex and deodex. I mainly run a deodex rom because I don't wanna have a gazillion .odex files in system app and system/framework. Oh, that and being able to theme as I wish.
Deodex is useless. There are some websites about this. If you need to theme the Rom you just deodex the needed files to theme them and you keep the advantage of odexed Rom.
this is a great idea, but it does not work on wanamlite 3.7
there are others options to odex a deodex (and very customized) rom ?
thanks

Im using ronne's lite rom. Runs perfectly fine here.
I usually install all the mods and apps i wan and then use tb to convert some apps to system apps and run odex me.
But do be aware that some apps dont work having converted to system app. Like the xda app. Because i was using this mod ever since i got my previous phone note 1 i know what apps to convert.
And u wont be able to mod your phone after using this. Im not a modaholic and its like a standard procedure for me to use this mod after setting up a new rom.
Personally i feel the phone is faster and slightly improves battery life. Of cos its just my personal opinion. Cheers

You can find a theme that has the same folders as yours and use there update script. That's what I do

Might even consider using MetaMorph if its just a theme, he has a tutorial and template laying around the intertubez somewherez.

I like your take on simple! lol

I'm staying away from metamorph right now, If I do it the harder way... I'll learn more.
That said I still gotta get this zip thing going.
Thanks for the help guys! : )
Feel free to use my update script. It was originally diner by raiderep and I made a couple changes to work with my theme

That version is (deodexed). I need odexed, but thanks.
Sent from my Atrix using xda premium
Yeah, I don't think that's possible, b/c I'm pretty sure you have to deodex to decompile and recompile the framework.apk an other system apks that need modding... may be wrong though.
Why not run a deodexed system?

In that thread someone mentions that nottach did a 1% Mod for a HKTW version of Android that would supposedly work with odexed systems, but I never actually found any posts verifying it. There was a link included, so it's there if you're inclined to look.
I was looking for this mod for an odexed system too, but in the end I just decided to flash a deodexed system.img. Since I was trying to keep my phone as "stock" as possible I was reluctant, but with how many mods are designed for deodexed systems it just seemed like the best thing to do.
You can always flash a recovery from an odexed backup, which I have done with no issues.
What are you guys using for adblock on your rooted s4?
tried adblock plus, fixed the settings. worked for regular browser, and chrome, but some apps stopped connecting.
Surely, there is a global adblock that works on all apps on s4.
I use Ad away. I think its pretty beast.
Adaway for sure.
Adblock plus using easylist, that one seems to work the best for me on my tablet, and fanboy's list works better on my phone(captivate glide).

Ended up installing from https://code.google.com/p/ad-away/ via fdroid. Apparently most of the current tools rely on modifying the hosts file to direct ad sites to localhost..
Crossbreader looks like they have implemented something along the lines of pixelserv in tomato where it serves up an empty white space of 1x1 pixel, which I assume has aesthetic value, though I wonder if it provides a performance advantage to the above options?

Did you install this on top of the kernel / rom? I currently have kuban (rom) and agat (kernel). Can I just install this crossbreader on top?

Yes sir. You dont need to wipe or anything. Just put it onto to your storage and flash it from recovery and it does the rest itself and your good to go.
Read the original thread if you want an indepth explanation to what exactly it does, it is really thorough. Also be sure to also grab the uninstall zip from the thread and put it on your phone as well. If you ever want to take off Crossbreeder for any reason, just go into recovery, flash that zip and your good to go.:thumbup:

Wow that was surprisingly easy. I made the switch, to crossbreader. Hopefully this works faster than the hosts file method. I've heard good things about frandom, but no idea how to get it to work with kuban rom and agat kernel. I have a 64gb exfat microsdxc, so am staying away from other kernels for now.
What is your setup with cross breader (rom/kernel, etc...). My friends keep saying how their iphone scrolls faster and I would like to show them otherwise wit h this android.

Yup process takes like two seconds! :good:
You don't need to do anything to get frandom to "work". If the kernel your using has the frandom module, which Agat's kernel does indeed have, Crossbreeder automatically detects it and utilizes it. All three kernels out right now, Faux, Agat, KT, all have the frandom module so you don't need to worry about it. (Actually I'm not sure about Faux but you get what I mean).
I'm just running Force Rom 1.1 because none of the TW roms are actually much different from stock other then removed bloat and a little theming at the moment, so I'll be on that until the goodies start pouring out.
In the meantime I'm running KT's kernel OC'd to 1998 or 2106 with a few tweaks here and there in Ktweaker. Plus Crossbreeder 5.21.13. (Also installed Viper4Droid for sound modifications)
Hey if someone could link me to theme chooser, that'd be awesome. I'm talking about the CM one. Also, what would be the necessary build.prop tweaks that would make it work?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I don't believe you would be able to get it to work without the CM framework and system files. It would take more than a simple build prop tweak to get it to work if at all. Unless you want to build CM from source you're only other option is to flash CM to use theme chooser.

You can extract the apk from a downloaded version of CM using 7zip if you really want the apk. You can install it but it won't do anything without the framework to support it. Some of the custom launchers have themes you can download from the playstore that might be an option for you if you want a new theme. I would browse in the theme section for advice.

Sorry I'm a noob but is there a way to incorporate the CM framework into my ROM? (Are you talking about framework-res.apk? If so, can I use that on the JWR ROMs?)

Its been over 2 years since I built or modified a ROM but its not as simple as just dragging and dropping framework-res and systemui versions you want into a ROM. There may be other custom ROM's out there with theme chooser if the dev used CM source to build his ROM but tehn why not just use CM? The easiest way I know of to theme a phone is to use a custom launcher and choose a theme off the play store or use an app like UCCW and again look for themes for it in the playstore. UCCW (ultimate custom clock widget) isn't the most user friendly app but it gets the job done. And make sure you back up your phone before making any changes using launchers or theme apps for if they modify systemui.apk or framework-res.apk in any way those changes can't be easily reversed. Always have a backup of your stock ROM.
Hello everybody, This is my first theme for 4.3/4.4 devices....

Hi mate...
Few questions if I may...
Why do you think it's not possible to install it like "normal" apk file?
It should work that way...
If it won't install try to resign it.
And yeah....custom themes won't work on non-rooted device, that's for sure.
At least not on Z/ZL/Z1/Z2

First thing mate, I dont have any device with android 4.3/4.4, so didnt test it installing like a normal apk. Secondly it may require superuser mod to install it like a normal apk which also requires root.So i think it may not work..But it may work. I need someone to test it.

Exactly what I said.
Actually we disabled signature check but in services.jar, that's why we are using superuser mod.
That's nothing special, only services.jar
without few lines of code.
But that's not enough.

Sure...I saw that you don't have device on JB/KK - that's why I'm telling you - install like any other app will work.
Haven't tried your theme but it'll work 100%.
It'll require patched services.jar for sure, that's not optional.
Users have to trick system with it so it'll not asking for a keys (for installation)
Anyway...
Keep up good work, it's great to see new themes and apps.
Obviously, we can't rely on manufacturers so it's great to have XDA community...
BTW...I just test it for you...
You can add to OP "install like any other app"

Actually, Sony demands that every theme pass their check and then they, if they approve it, sign it with their own keys.
That's the problem, we don't have that keys...
But at long as we have rootable firmware we could do whatever we want
