Hi,
What are the advantages and the reason to deodex a rom ? I read that some mods needed it but... How can I deodex the stock rom of the N4 ?
Thanks !
You can deodex using the Kitchen.

The advantage is that deodexed roms can be easily customized/themed where it is possible with odexed ROMs it's a lot more difficult and APK decompilers (apktool) don't decompile odexed files (at least to my knowlegde)
Odexed roms do run smoother and snappier since it preloads stuff into the VM. There has been great discussions on the topic.
In which topic ?
So, if i'm understanding good, deodex a rom is running it slower ?

Do a google search on Odexed Vs Deodexed. It's not that much slower. See with odexed each apk has a odex file so for example. SystemUI.apk.
On a deodexed ROM you would just have the SystemUI.apk
On an odexed ROM you will have SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.Odex
The odexed file gets preloaded into the virtual machine's cache

Bump ! Another question, if i deodex my rom, will all the apk i will install after it deodex too ?

Only system apps are odexed.
Yes, they will all be deodexed, yes you will notice it performing slower. I did.
Just use an odexed ROM, I have seen very few justifications for deodexed stuff. Half the themes out there are complete toss anyway, only ones that mimic TouchWiz or AOSP seem to be any good.
You dont need to zipalign them but it's s good idea to and only system apps and framework are odexed. Stiff you install after then is not.

You can also use the app by Paul O'Brien that will reodex the deodexed system apps after you're done modifying any system files

Hi guys,
Is it possible to replace a custom roms kernel to a original one I've been looking all over this forum for a stock kernel to try but no luck.
Why do i want to do this??
I want to do this as I would like to use sky go app and barlcays apps which detect root and it's driving me nuts wanting to use custom again and I can't because the root is in the kernels. Also is there anyway I can remove them from it

From what rom you want kernel?
You can use a stock kernel in a custom ROM but many of the features of custom ROMs require root access so you would lose functionality.
Your best bet is to flash custom firmware in my opinion.
If only there was a way to decompile the Skygo .APK so it didnt check for root access........

Hi! To everyone who customized their stock rom, Can you guys tell me what theme, scripts and tweaks you did to customize your stock rom? I want to know how or what you did to your stock rom or basically screenshots of your customized stock rom and a tutorial of what you did. Let's see who has the best customized stock rom. Sorry for using "customized" too many times. :laugh::laugh:
Deodex your stock rom first, and THEMING will be a piece of cake.

I have a deodex Dxlf1 rom and have CM7 theme installed. The objective of this thread is to see what your customized stock rom looks.

No...friend...you have to mod it....otherwise the full theme of system ui will not work...

You cannot modify the framework of an odex rom - you must deodex it first
Google the difference between odex & deodex & what it means

Nope sorry
You can deodex it, push it, and then reodex it

For some mods your mods your ROM needs to be deodexed. So is the stock ROM that? I'm going to root mine as soon as it arrives.
Also what's the difference between odexed ROMs and deodexed ROMs?
bump...
Stock is not deodexed.
As for the diff..well to keep it short most dev deodex so that the rom can be themed. Odexed roms can be themed but it is very difficult.
There are also debates that deodexing a rom slows it down...which then brings us to zip alignment...which you can google if you like!
