I know the technical difference b/w ODex-ed and DeODex-ed
I have an odexed ROM
I simply want some applications (apks) from my Previous ROM, which was deodexed
When I PUT .apk files from My Previous ROMs ZIP to my Device's system/app - I get FC
When I restore apps like Go Launcher Ex, from Titanium Backup, I still get FC for that
Any Info...?
I want to use some apps from my Previous ROM
I want Rotary LockScreen
Also, a Professional Theme, Odexed
As I have seen that odexed ROM are so incredibly smooth in almost every aspect
(Not only 1st boot or initial days)
Help appreciated !!
the anserw is simle if your previous firmware was deodexed:
Youraplicationname.odex is missing

Deleting th old apk & dex file, bfore replacing, should work, then?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
you must either have all files in pairs apk + odex (thats odex)
or apk only (thats deodexed)
when looking at /system/framework/
that would be jar + odex (odex) or jar only (deodexed)

I am talking bout MyFiles.apk
I want new Samsung's MyFiles.apk
So I will delete old apk & dex files
Then put new apk file
Is tht wht u mean?

if you now have aapk+odex
you have to copy new apk and odex

I'm pretty sure I tried this some time ago and found it will not work. The MyFiles.apk is strictly linked to the ROM you are using, something to do with the framework, so you cannot use one on another ROM version.
As for other apk's, if the file you want to use is deodexed, you simply delete the new apk and odex file and put the old one in its place although be warned, it may cause instability on your ROM if you do this with system apk files
ok whatever if you know better

Thanks
U got my doubt clear
I was not replacing MyFiles actually
Was just giving an example so that $omator thinks I understood
Also
The irony is most of th times, its th system apks tht have dex files
If its not a system apk, I wud rather download th latest 4m market

Hey guys, Been working on my rom for the S4..
Although I cant seem to get systemUI to recompile.. Has anyone had any success doing so ? If so what are you using ?
EDIT: To clarify, Im attempting to recompile the google edition SystemUI.apk.
Came across the following thread: HERE.
Explains that by deleting both system_bar_settings_view.xml" and "system_bar_notification_panel_title.xml" from the layout folder your able to recompile, then re-adding them back manually to the .apk.

4.2.2
i got it to recompile when i changed the battery icon of m3ddog's 4.2.2 GE ROM. i just did SOP, using apk multitool. it should work
Since we're talking about SystemUI.apk... any way of porting the TouchWiz feature of showing the status bar even in fullscreen?
I know there are apps that display a statusbar, but the problem is that it's just opening an app - you have to "multitask" back after. Samsung's one runs as an overlay and you don't exit the app you're currently in. Try it in Plants vs Zombies or any other app that doesn't support running in the background.

Hi guys, after the CM 11S was ported to our loved Nexus 5, the only app that I like from this firmware is Screencast..
Very simple to use and seems bug-free..
The only difference from the CM11S, is that to start the app, we dont have any buttons shortcut (on the OpO you can press VolUp+Power).
I dont have modified anything.. Extracted from rom zip..
Tested on Nexus 5 CM11 nightly 07-18-2014 - stock CM kernel
APK Download and screenshots in atch section down here..
Flashable Zip HERE
Thanks to @vin4yak
How to install:
- Copy the APK to \system\priv-app\
- Set correct permissions
- Reboot
I'm not responsable for any damage to your devices.
Backup-Backup-Backup.. And remember, Backup!!..
All credits go to @[SIZE="4"]P4R[/SIZE] for his CM 11S ported for Nexus 5 - Thread link
PS. I hope I have not broken any rule.. in case, let me know..
Thanks, tested on pa 4.5 alpha2 and works
@Mako0
Here's a flashable zip: https://www.mediafire.com/?d41qtmv5ffk4m1h
PS: Make sure you have a recent backup if anything goes wrong. It shouldn't, but it's better to be safe than sorry

Years are passed since I've started to find a way to change even Screenshots folder..
I hate Android default folders location
I think its mainly because these apps are ported from phones with no ExtSD to begin with so the feature is useless.

Other then move files on extSD, I want to set a different folder even on internal memory, for example using only one folder for photo and Screenshots, and other media files..
Even on Chrome's or stock browser (and others) you can't change the download location..

Hey I started this post so people can put their apps from anothers versions that work in GT-I9506. Because in apps section are no apps for our phone. So at Start most of these apps and mods are someboby others creations, so let the credits go where do they belong!!! I have installed note 4 weather app in my 4.4.2 it is from albe´s NOTE4 apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/themes-apps/exclusive-note-4-apps-collection-t2882577. S-Voice works too, but it is better to put in system/app. Right permissions 0644/ rw--r--r--. allso pas2001 bootanimations work. albe´s s5 music player works. So namanagraval_93 music player, witch is actually A5 music player:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697455. Frageti´s Finger howering:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705514. S6 messages work; it´s beatyful and fully working. And many themes work, as long you remember to look that system ui haven´t moded. If that is modded you need nanoid or vr theme back up. And remember to look if you are deodexed or odexed. Example A5 musicplayer works perfectly but I`m de-odexed rom. so I delete odex files from priv.app and app. If you know more put it here. And allways KEEP NANOID. For questions I´m here, but put the apps up.

Sorry mate, been busy. What rom are you in? Need to know.

No, I meen witch 4.4.2? I have I9506XXCNJ1 and if you have deo it is not stock, you have root.... And if you folloed the instructions and it wont work it wont. When I know your rom I can try to make you one that works.

i think i have understood why it doesn't works, i need to edit android.policy.jar for our 9506, but i don't know how...
i've found another one here now i've restored the nandroid backup prior to te deodexing...so it's just stock with root
this mod, anyway, need a deodexed rom
DeHawk. Allready deodexed and there is autoroot and everything in 1 page. Android policy.jar wont be enough, but I found one promising mod. I'm gonna try to make mod there for you. I'm ripping it from s5 mod for 9506.

in the last thread mentioned, the one for 9505, page 2, they just edited policy to make it compatible to 9500
i don't like to install a custom rom now because i'm scared about eventual bugs...with my old phone i'm finding bugs...now...after a year of use...i don't want that happen again...and i just don't know what this rom can do and what not...when i know the stock rom well, maybe i'll look for something more...
anyway...thank you...
Ok, but you cant use the mod with standard, you need permessive. After you install permessive you can edit your own androidpolicy.jar and download from EX.DeHawk's allready modded secsettings and edit only needed lines. I have used modded rom three years and if rom ok, no bugs. And in DeHawk,s rom is no bugs. It's better than original.

ok i've taken a policy from here and i used the file from the 9505 mod, i have deodex but no permissive, now i see the settings, i can activate it, but it doesn't work :crying:
you are talking about permissive but is not mentioned in the threads of this mod, anyway now i try to force permissive with an app and i'll report back...
ps. now is permissive, doesn't work.
it'd strange that works on every s4 models but the 9506...
Yes that is proplem with this phone. We know that it works with every other... I'm gonna try something and report back. It should work with those modifications.
Hi
Is it possible to have the touchwiz camera app on cyanogenmod 12?
I read a lot about it and almost everybody says that's not possible...
But I saw this thread :

You need to download tw camera app for cm. There are many versions to choose from just look it up in here xda.
And for washwash. I just got back from holiday, and no success yet. I made one version and it didn't work. Starting to think that its too mutch for my talents. I have one more option to try. Porting it from some rom.
But if it's keyboard that you need, that is easy: just install LG keyboard with onehand options. But I check out the porting from rom. After when I found rom where it's working.

i've found this it's for E300S, the eastern version of the 9506, i tried to download it from here with the help of google translator but i can't successfully complete the download, only around 25% and then it stop
anyway i wish i've never bought it, there is just nothing for that phone, even the usb mass storage is bugged as hell.
ps. no, the eastern variant is the E330S
Tuo rom johon viittasit ei käy meidän puhelimeen. E330S on hiukan erilainen ohjelmistostaan ja siinä on myös jotain pientä rauta eroa. ja tuossa romissa poistetaan tw rom. koitan edelleen löytää sinulle jotain muuta. Tiedoksi; GT-I9505g on lähin versio verrattuna meidän puhelimeen.
Sorry that aswer. Wrong language... That rom what you was refering is not straight compatible with gt-i9506. There is some difference in software and there is some difference in hardware too. Arter97 can tell you more. And that skt rom removes normal tw-rom. There is awailable xploded one-hand mode. Allso when googled one hand mode for s4 you get one hand mode for 4.4.2. Not tamida's version. But it wont install. I tested. But when I extracted it and installed it one by one with root explorer I got it working.
Hello, I'm an owner of XPERIA Z1, using the latest Customized Lollipop firmware (.242), struggling very much to deodex his device. I've tried 2 different methods, which both lead to problems:
1.) Using a flashable zip provided by venkat kamesh, in this thread: link. After flashing, I don't face any prominent problems, like FCs on system apps e.t.c. But whenever I'm trying to launch any app requiring OpenGL ES 2 , I get an error message/toast notification, about that, saying that my device is incompatible. And Google Play refuses to even show these apps in the search results, listing them as incompatible.
2.) Modifying the flashable zip to use my own /app, /priv-app, /framework, and even /vendor/apps fully deodexed folders, leading to a bootloop, and refusing to show more than 2 seconds of the bootanimation before rebooting. I thought that some package may be incompatible with my firmware, but this theory can't be proved yet.
*I've tried fixing permisions using both terminaland adb using this method: link. No result either.
Is there any other solution? Thank you!

Are you deodexing every odexed file? I normally only deodex those files whose smali I'm going to mod. There's not much point deodexing anything else..

Well yes, I just suppose that a fully odexed or deodexed system is more stable than a mix of those two.
Is there any red-line that I must not pass? Like a paricular .apk or .jar file, for example. Also on KitKat, we had to have fully deodexed system for some mods to work (like the 4K Mod by Chocolatetrain). This restriction doesn't exist on Lollipop, which utilises ARM?

No. You can, in theory, deodex as many or as few APK and JAR files as you like.
The whole point of deodexing is to make it easy to change smali files. It doesn't affect stability or performance, it's solely for modding. I normally deodex SystemUI.apk, framework.jar and android.policy.jar then leave the rest of the odexed files alone.
(Well, technically a deodexed ROM takes longer to boot if the Dalvik cache has been wiped but that's about it.)
The only reason I ask is that, if you only need to deodex a few files, there are various tools available for deodexing individual files instead of whole ROM's. I could mention that Tickle My Android can do it but that'd be a bit cheeky.
Oh, looking at that 4K mod you mentioned, it doesn't actually need the whole ROM to be deodexed. But there are so many files that are being replaced that do need to be deodexed that it's probably just simpler to say the entire ROM needs to be.

OK, thank you for the answer, I will try then deodexing just the essentials: SystemUI.apk, framework.jar, framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
Final question, as I see in your program's thread, Lollipop editing/deodexing is not supported yet, so do you recommend an automate tool for the deodexing process (like JoelDroidLollipopBatchDeodexe or any other), or the manual method?

TMA does support deodexing of Lollipop APK files...I just can't guarantee that it'll be able to deodex everything. Guess I need to reword the OP....lol
