Hi there.
The first thing I do when installing the latest firmware is Deodex it, mainly because having a deodexed ROM is easier to modify and you'll find a lot of the modifications that are are in the Themes And Apps sections require you to have a deodexed ROM. I use the dsixda's Android Kitchen to deodex and @pankaj88 has written a great guide here - [GUIDE] How to DEODEX stock ODEXED ROM using dsixda's kitchen - so you can do it yourself or try the other tools listed below.

The differences between Odex and Deodex Files...
philos64 said:
In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space The odexed file structure works well as an optimization tool. Since these .odex files contain preliminary load information about each system app, the OS knows what to expect when it’s booting up, and consequently, loads all these apps faster.
On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
For instance, on a non-rooted device you’ll find
system/app/Phone.apk ===> as well as ===> system/app/Phone.odex

[Utility][win] De-Odexer and Odexer Tool
majdinj said:
Making modifications to an Odexed file requires a tedious and time consuming process of Deodexing, modifying, and then Reodexing. So here I thought, why not to have a tool by which I could deodex a targeted application, then I can do my modifications, then odex back the file again.. So it was the birth of this tool.. yey
With power of baksmali and smali codes (credits to JesusFreke), and dexopt-wrapper and busybox binaries (credits to Denys Vlasenko); I have came up with this tool..

Before u read, u should know that this thread is for themers and modders only... and this is not a tool for odexing the whole ROM.
Hello everybody
While I was working on my ROM, and releasing an odex version, I suffered alot in working on the odex files and modifying them. Every time I should use the command line and copy certain commands from a notepad, in addition I have to edit the notepad file to make the commands odex other files... that was a pain...
...
For anyone that want to use these scripts, I wanted to share it with you, and I hope they would be useful to you.

Reflash your rom using flashtool. Much easier than trying to push those files IMO and should fix anything you broke.

Hi,
because our developers are so fast in releasing new ROMs every day I decided to make a nice little app for convenience.
Ever had this problem?
You are on the road, checking XDA and your favourite dev has just updated your ROM. You cannot wait until you come back home, but wait. There are all those apps you always remove from the ROMs before you flash them. And all your favourite MODs you need to add.
That's where ROMEditToGo comes in.
What it does
This app is for modifying ROM files. You can delete files (APKs for now) from the ROM. Also you may merge files from other ZIPs into the ROM (if they are already in there).
It is especially for those people, that want to modify some aspects of a ROM, but don't want to use a PC/Mac for that purpose.
You can open ROMs from the app or from any file explorer (any zip file).
You can define a default path for your ROM, so the dialog to choose ROMs will open this folder first (if you use OI File Manager).
There's also a backup option, in case you want to leave the source ROM unmodified.
Available Languages are English and German.
What it will do
I'm planning to implement some more features like
adding single files to the ROM
Maintain a (user-defined) list of commonly deleted files (e.g. Stocks.apk)
Implement forbidden files, which are needed for the ROMs to work
Check if file is a ROM
Customizing scripts
You name it...
What it does not
The ROM files are not signed. So you have to turn off verification in recovery. Also there are several APKs you should better leave in the ROM.
What you need
Android 2.2 installed...
Caution
Removing APK files from the ROM may produce a file that is not able to start correctly. Please be careful when removing files. Make sure you have a copy of a working ROM, in case something went wrong.

This is because your ROM doesn't contain a zip binary. I will try to work around this in the next version.

Just released a new version. As a part of the check it is now possible to directly install the zip binary.
The downside of this is, that the app needs root now, and also S-OFF.
If I find the time, I'll provide a flashable.zip for the binary.
Any chance of it supporting other file managers? I use ES File Explorer. Great app though.

New Version is out.
You can now use any file manager. The downside is, that the standard action doesn't allow to choose a folder to start from.
You can choose in the settings, which way you want it.
New version:
No more need for zip binary. Also it's now possible to search for apks in the ROM.
Superb App. Working wonders for me.

simply AMAZING
Hi,
was really happy to find your app...
but on my HTC Desire running ICS from Sandvold it doesn't work.
The zip is 22 bytes big afterwards, so it's actually empty. Besides, when I select a different zip to be included, the button to start processing can't be pressed...
Any chance for a fix?

If you choose an addon, you also have to select the files to insert.
For the 22b error I got no idea, which rom did you edit?

Thanks for your reply.
I'm on Sandvold's 0.2.0 and wanted to adapt 0.2.1, because I don't want to switch from data++...
I tried just changing the zip file but somehow that doesn't work either. When I open it with 7zip and try to delete some apk's, it says "operation not implemented".
When I try it with WinRAR, I get "Archive is broken" after the delete operation.
I also unzipped it, deleted what I don't need and re-zipped it, but then my 4ext Touchcovery aborts the installation...
Any help for these methods is also appreciated...

De-ODEX Mini Tutorial:
Tools:
Windows OS
JDK
ANDROID SDK
LATEST XULTIMATE
And A Rooted Phone
Process:
1. Copy SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex to "/mnt/sdcard/odex" folder.
2. Unzip xUltimate, and launch "Main.exe"
3. If everything goes well xUltIMATE should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.
4. Run option 10.
5. Go back into the xUltimate folder and copy SystemUI.apk from "done_app" folder.
6. Mod or send me your de-odexed SystemUI.apk
ODEX Mini Tutorial:
1. Download and extract ODex-ADB (my modified script)
2. Put the modded SystemUI.apk in "/sdcard/app" and run this script with ADB connection. The odexed files will be in the same folder, just push via recovery.
3. Fix permissions (644)

I am so sorry @Chocklety Boyee , but as @AndroidNoob69 said, I have not created this app or I do not know how to debug things because I am still a learner on XDA.
I asked one of my friend, (A Samsung user) he said try putting the app in the /system folder and decompile it.
I did that before posting this thread. Yes it got decompiled, but the problem was that I couldn't delete the folder where the app was decompiled, only its contents got deleted.
Try doing the same, but please make a backup before doing so :fingers-crossed:. Don't blame me .
And do tell me the results.

I encourage you guys not to use apktool on phones. It is and is never the full version. It is missing framework files and there is no way you can install them.

Wait bro!
Did you follow the instructions correctly?
Especially this one - Open the App, Navigate to the folder you have extracted the zip, long press it and select set as apktool data folder ?
And also, this IS working on phones like Xperia Z. Because @Rajeev bro was able to add his own Banner, 'Developer Name' in About Phone in Settings!
And also, the main developer is not mad to create such a project in Google code and on GitHub. :silly:
I used this app in ma mobile.. I already told u that i created 3 mods using this app.. One is Rom name under About Phone setting, second one is full transparent caller screen and third one is systemui transparency...
AROMA Zip Maker By DC07.
Tool Featured On Portal Here
Hello XDAins,After my 2 months break from xda,I am back...but this time with a handy tool
The tool converts simple flashable zip to aroma installer based flashable zip.
I made this tool for devs here who wanna include aroma installer in there ROM/THEME but don't know how to and those who cannot follow the tough tutorials,So this is completely Noob Friendly
Instructions
-Extract the zip contents in a your working folder (for eg: /desktop/aromazipmaker)
-Place the META-INF only,of your rom/mod/update/theme etc in the folder
-Now open the aromazipmaker.exe
-Proceed with the steps as guided in the script
-and your output will be META-INF [the orignal meta-inf will be named as original-meta inf.....and the aroma one will be just meta-inf]
-Place the META-INF Back into your zip with 7zip or any tool
-Flash Through CWM Recovery.
Features
-Simple and Newbie Friendly
-Themes Support[3 Themes Honami i1, Holo Metro, xNXT xperia theme
-You can include your ROM/MOD/THEME's Changelog and Thanks,that is placed in Aroma's_META-INF/com/google/android/aroma/here
Credits/Thanks

*Ayush Singh
*iamareebjamal
*Lalit Patil
Things You should know
-The zip have a minor bug,after the process is completed successfully,the both the folders are named Original_META-INF.So after the process is done,just refresh and you will see two different folders viz. Original_META-INF and META-INF.
-You only have to use the META-INF folder...that includes the aroma installer.
Q.How to know that the process have completed successfully?
A.As you see this...you have done it.

Maybe some other time.
I am going to improve this tool (debugging, new features...) .
After finishing that job, I will think about the android version ( converting codes to android is a tougher job anyway ).
I will tell you when I am ready to develop the Android version.
So please subscribe this thread to get feature releases. :good:

Sorry, I could not find such a problem.
* Make sure you're not using a lollipop based stock (since lollipop & marshmallow is not supported by the tool for de odexing). I will add them in the future release .
* Make sure you copy the whole framework folder in 5-De_Odex folder .
Path maybe like Extreme ApkTool/5-De_Odex/framework/ framework files(jars&apk)
I hope this might solve your problem. In case this is not solving your problem , feel free to contact me
