If I want a TW ROM but stock Android messaging and email apps do I just need to find a deodexed rom and install the .apk's separately? Or have I got the totally wrong idea
Hi guys,
please give me a helping hand as I want to flash some mods to my i9500. I am on XWUBMG7 with CSC: OLB (Thailand).
I want to keep stock ROM to debloat it myself and apply some changes.
Kernel should stay untouched.
So, my idea is to root the phone with this method of pre-rooted multifiles: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317105
After that, flash TWRP and install 3Minit framework: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283684
The 3Minit framework requires a deodexed ROM, thats why I can't easily root with CF auto root.
But at the moment, the pre-rooted files from the link above are not available in my XWUBMG7 (which I dont want to change at the moment as I might run into problems with not matching CSC).
If I root with CF Auto root, my ROM is still odexed.
I found a method to deodex your own ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213235
But I am not sure if this is sufficient. I can't see if the ROM will be zip-aligned as well (besides that I don't know if it is beyond my skills), which I want it to be performance-wise.
So, any idea how I can achieve a deodexed XWUBMG7 in Odin-flashable format for the i9500?
It seems that the pre-rooted files would be the easiest way for me to reach my goal as I can keep everything and only have to Odin-flash the ROM as PDA and am done.
Thanks in advance for your advices.
Kind regards
Dirk

While I understand your point....isn't it easier to flash a deodexed zipaligned prerooted rom with stock theme?? There are so many roms now.....
In general you are right. I studied them and found that the ROM-cookers removed some features that I want. Besides that the description of them ROMs is sometimes insufficient for just trying. TW and stock ROM is fine for me.
Example: Wanam lite is actually fine. But the app to customize doesn't have the features I want (e.g. disable icon of blocking mode in the status bar). Omega rom removed the nfc payment, which I like to maintain. ...
All roms have their good and bad aspects. For me, I want to stay with stock.
As I don't want to download a modified deodexed custom roms,also dowlading about 1.4GB is a little difficult for me bcoz of my internet connection. but i want a deodexed rom, is there any tool to deodex kitkat roms? (my phone is i9505)
I tried universal deodexer v4, but it supports only upto 4.3 jb i think.. can someone guide me? i have searched a lot but i couldn't find a solution

Hi there,
I know this may have been asked so many times but I'm completly lost with all the differents ROMs
I like my current ROM :
android 5.0
bb: N9005XXUGBOD1
version LRX21V.N9005XXUGBOF1
rooted
recovery : twrp
I want xposed framework and I read I need a deodexed rom before.
But I don't want to install custom ROM, I don't need any fancy stuff or other, I like my current ROM.
Can anyone tell me how I could do that ?
Backup my own ROM with twrp then JoelDroid deodexer it then restore this file ? Would this work ?
Or where could I get the deodexed version of my ROM ?
I wish I could not loose any app or setting or file.
Thanks for any hints.
Hi, i'm sorry if this thread seems noobish but i just got my s5(sm-g900f) today and i'm new to these things.. I want to keep my stock rom while having xposed installed on it. I've read that it causes bootloops on stock rom so there are some unofficial version for deodexed roms... I don't know how to extract my stock rom to use in these automatic tools that deodex it.. Can anyone help?
