[Q] Deodexed OR Odexed - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

i want to download a rom but there is 2 choices Deodexed or Odexed what dose this mean. and which one should i chose.

Deodexed is customizable with mods and themes. Odexed is slightly faster but cannot flash any mods with it. So I would advise you to go with deodexed.

You can flash mods to odexed roms, you just have to make sure the mod is for an odexed rom.

Odexed ROMs in theory are faster, doesnt need to cache itself on initial boot of ROM and De-Odexed in theory are easier to modify; theme and altar. De-Odexed ROMs also have to build a cache on initial boot that only takes a minute depending on how many apps you have. Dont let boot time decide for you. Decide whether you are ever planning on installing themes or mods(Most Are For De-Odexed ROMs.
Reason being Odex in theory is faster is due to the APK being more optimzed in terms of file placement inside of the APK and Odex file for the OS so when the OS attemps to use the APK or Odex file it is read faster than without being optimized. Also, these apps do not need to be cached upon initial boot. The reason De-Odexed ROMs are generally easier to modify, theme or altar is due to there generally being less work involved. All that needs to be done is the altaring of one APK versus an Odexed ROM usually is first De-Odexed, modified then re-Odexed. De-Odexed ROMs are also cached with system apps on initial boot ONLY. Now, also take a good look at the words of IN THEORY for Odex being faster because it technically should be faster due to them being optimized but we have such a powerhouse processor and 2GB of RAM for example so we see literally no difference, I dont care what anyone says lol. Odex will help behind the scenes but ZERO noticeability.

so which one you think i should flash

Well, what are you looking to install? Stock ROM or what? I am on stock ROM but at the same time I am unroored also haha. Even when I do root, I stick to stock ROM and altar it myself but dont install mods are anything like that so I stick with Odexed. Answrr that question for me if you can and then we will go from there.

Okay, well if you are just looking to root, delist and run a custom kernel then why not go ahead and use Odexed? It won't be any noticeably faster but behind the scenes it is. I don't install mods, I just go ahead and root, run odexed, debloat and a custom kernel. All is well after that. No need to zipalign because system apps are already zip aligned from what my research shows IIRC so good to go there.

NO LONGER ACTIVE PLEASE CLOSE [devs] deodex version of ivanmmj Eris_Official 1.0

All,
per positive response below is a link to a copy of ivanmmj Eris_Official 1.0 ROM that I have fully deodexed. This is more meant for devs for continued play time, but it is a flashable ROM. PLEASE NOTE that ivanmmj himself looks to be coming out with the next version of Eris_Official 1.0 per his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652044.
Hope this is helpful and Enjoy
Link: REMOVED FROM HOST SERVER
P.S. please let me know of any issues as this is my first full deodex also I would like to encurage using this tread to exploring moding some of the system files on Eris ROM builds as it has been fun to tweak things
P.P.S. If you want the Zanfer kernel let me know and I will look at adding it in however ivanmmj's new version should have it...
what is Deodex?
I'm definitely interested, but I also think Ivan is working on the same project himself. I'm pretty sure his "1.1" is deodexed and has Zanfur's kernel. Not sure what other changes he has in mind, but you might want to check with him before posting since you'll end up being the one getting all the PM's from people wanting help. ;-)
Yes please I'm looking for exactly that

BTW jcase's plain jane1.0 has zanfur overclocking kernel.....
i dont know what you think but it might be a better platorm than ivanmmjs
a deodexed version of that would be tight....
kernels are easy to compile and swap out, a different kernel isnt going to influence the build at all
i always seem to get better battery life from the non oc'ed kernel.

it means you have a classes.dex file rather than a .odex file
it makes things easier, its also possible to metamorph these builds and its possible to install a deoexed app on multiple platforms.

A more experienced developer can add more but a few quick basics:
.odex files are precompiled class flies that correlate to a .apk or .jar file. In an odex ROM an .apk/.jar file will not function without it's correlated .odex.
a deodex build takes all of the .odex files converts them to a classes.dex and puts them into the .apk or .jar file package
deodex ROM are easier to mod because each .apk or .jar is a "complete" package and can be more easily decompiled and ported (i.e. you do not have to worry about the .odex files)
A deodexed build requires less space in /system, but more space in /data
A deodexed build requires a longer initial boot because they must regenerating those odex files from the dex files in the .apks/.jars and save them to /data/dalvik-cache
Thats a quick list of what I know
odex only help speed up app loading time and first time boot. Think of this as Windows' prefetch.
If you want to re-create odex for apk for porting, etc... I suggest only do this to /system/app not /data/app because when you do update from market and your app will break, unless you wipe out dalvik-cache.

Would this be ok for an every day ROM? Or should it just be used by dev's as a base ROM?
Hey guys I've been testing this for Ivan. same thing he has a version deodexed.

Technically it is fine as an everyday ROM, however I do not recomend using it for such because it is not support and will have no additional features over ivanmmj origional 1.0.
So I guess, yes it meant to be used as a base ROM or "spare parts" for devs.

Someone else did this, on androidforums.com. I haven't replied to his posting, but it's in like page 19 of the 'show off your UI layout' thread there. I'm working on a modified Rosie.apk right now, as soon as I get this de-odex'd Ivan's on my phone running. Titanium backup here I come.
FYI, I was able to flash the deodexed version over the original Eris_Official 1.0 Alpha without having to do a full wipe (just wiped dalvik-cache). Naturally, I went back and re-flashed Zanfur's overclock kernel after that.

[INFO] Note to all ROM makers

There seems to be issues with baksmali/smali v1.2.6 when deodexing latest samsung roms (2.3.4 maybe also some 2.3.3!).
If you baksmali framework.odex and smali it back to a dex file (without changing anything) your ROM will become laggy!
Some people say its the hardware acceleration that no longer works.
The web browser becomes unusable. There have been reports that video player and camera also seems laggy.
My suggestion is NOT to deodex framework.odex! I'm sorry to say this...
I know this means no custom deodexed roms! But I do believe you will run into more problems we don't know about yet!
But you can still do mods!
Just not deodexed framework mods. You can deodex apk files in the app folder. You can also try and deodex files in the framework folder as long and you dont deodex the framework.odex file! But here you have to convert them back to odex files!
As proof I have made this mod for stock XXKG1. I have the odexed the files back to odex using the dexopt-wrapper tool.
It is not just 1.2.6, I have built from the latest source and still has problems.
I disagree 100% fwiw with OP
I have no speed issues beyond that stupid browser, and that looks just like a baksmali bug. I don't do the "quit" attitude - I will fix it...
But anyway, there is no lag or anything here, even on 2.3.4 deodexed and underclocked.
So while there may be a browser issue, I would not suggest to people not to deodex. I can provide thousands of posts of people happy with a properly Deodexed and optimised ROM...
do we know why this happens? Is there an logic explanation

I hope you are right... But alot people also complains about all sorts of problems with the custom roms... and we dont really know if its related to this or not...
I spent all yesterday thinking about that...
The odex file is only valid when used with the exact BOOTCLASSPATH files. dalvik enforces this by storing a checksum of each file that the odex file is dependent on, and ensuring that the checksum for each file matches when the odex file is loaded.
When you are deodexing an apk, even if you don't need to set BOOTCLASSPATH for it (because you don't get any error msg while baksmali), by default these 5 jar are already included in the classpath: core.jar, ext.jar, framework.jar, android.policy.jar and services.jar. This means that an odex file has dependencies on every "BOOTCLASSPATH" file that is loaded when it is generated.
So i was thinking about to deodexing every apk in /system/app a part Browser.apk (i.e leaving Browser.odex) and try to figure out which jar file inside /system/framework has to remain odexed.
Maybe we can still have overscroll glow mod, renounce to have the extended power menu in order to get an HW accellerated Browser!
I don't know if it make sense for you as my english need to be improved

You got any examples to hand?
The common issues I see are
- failing to read my install instructions
- trying to come from some other ROM without following the instructions
- trying to restore titanium backups entirely, depositing apps that are codes like half-polished turds in the phone
- pushing incorrect files into rom without knowing what they are doing
- stupid setcpu config
Am interested to see if you have found other issues, as camera and video player are confirmed by a fair number to be fine...
I swapped my phone with one running stock, and I had to tell my friend what I had done, as he was sure it was his oh, and I was underclocked to 800 max too at the time

The frameword.odex is not compiled correctly!! That's a fact!! The laggy browser proofs it. Framework.odex the largest most important file in the android framework!! And that does not concern you? Is that not a bit naive?

I believe what I see. I have asked HomerSp if he can take a look at it, when he can, as he knows a lot about the deodexing process.
But at the end of the day, while there is clearly something not working in baksmali or smali, this seems a good opportunity to fix it and pass on the fix to JF
I know what is in framework.jar, and that it covers most things...
I do genuinely have interest in seeing the issues you raised, as perhaps there is disparity between methods of deodexing??? I am interested to see if I can reproduce any here too, as that would highlight a wider issue.

Well.... I will not use deodexed custom roms so I won't find any issues!!! But some people probably will or already has...
I'd rather spend my time on fixing this and create odexed mods until its fixed!
As soon as I see that the framework.odex can be compiled without breaking the browser... I might try some custom roms again..
That's weird. I'm using Lite'ning 1,5 ROM (which is deodexed) since i bought this phone and everything runs very smooth (including browser, video playback, gaming, launcher and so on). Before i had HTC Desire Z with CM7 on it and it was freezing slow if compared to my current setup. It's just flying.

You're basing all your points on 1 main problem, the browser.
That's hardly the way to go. Rather, they will work to solving the problem regarding the browser, then we can continue to have proper custom roms. Besides, KG1 is a leaked rom. Deodexing didn't affect KF2, it might not cause problems for later leaked or "official" roms.
Rather than directing others to your odexed mods, the way for things to move on is to see the problem being fixed. There's a reason why custom roms are almost always deodexed. Don't rock the boat if you don't like the status quo.

That's actually exactly what I am saying!! Don't spend time on fixing the browser! Spend time on fixing the baksmali/smali tools!!
But until that's fixed I believe you can't really rely on the deodexed roms because framework.odex does not compile correctly!!
Some people said that you can't do mods that are odexed!! Thats the reason for the example! You actually don't need to deodex the framework!! But I admit.. it's easier not to odex files...
BTW guys, following the OP IDEA i got my own custom rom working with the odexed stock Browser (i.e. HW accellerated).
Basically all the apps have been deodexed apart Browser, and i left the framework jar files odexed!
Basically i got the same features/mod as before, the only think i have to renounce is the overscroll glow effect (i don't like it at all, i prefer the stock Samsung bounce effect) and the extended power menu (we can easily replace it by using quickboot).
That's it
thanks _JKay_ for the IDEA!
But I do think the problems wont fix itself in the future. The SGS facing the same problems with XXJVQ!!

I agree with you, but at least, since a lot of people complain about the stock browser, we can stay happy with it!

Multi-Windows like Note 10.1 JB [Working] + Modded Apps

Hi Everyone,
I just registered here on xda today and I am a newbie so please be lenient with me.
Just want to share my newbie experience. Since the LS2 leak I've been trying to port multiwin dows from Note2 and then came the LS7 leak which includes multiwindows already, I have experimented with different dpi values and swapped files from other galaxy tablets to our Note1. It's sleepless nights of excitement exploring more possibilities for our Note1 and to cut the story short I came up with this. See screenshots below.
Please be aware I am not responsible if you break your phone. This is only for the brave souls. But actually I have done it many times the last few days with constant reflashing, swapping files, and trying to understand what makes it all tick and my phone was OK. It actually came out better than I expected. Thanks to all the cumulative ideas that I have gathered from all the people here at xda (who I can't remember to give special credit to) but anyway in the spirit of sharing, here it goes.
So here is the procedure and the files are attached for convenience.
Download this CWM flashable zip. (Thanks to nanomet for the CWM zip file).
1. Please make a nandroid backup first so you can return to your previous state in case you want to.
2. Make sure you are on rooted deodexed LS7 with CWM recovery. I am on Bangsti's ROM.
NOTE: I am currently testing it on odexed ROM and just to let you know the CWM flashable file does NOT work on odexed ROMs yet because it does not have the ability to delete corresponding odex files when flashed.
3. Make sure install another launcher like Apex or Nova as a failsafe in case TW Launcher forecloses. I use Android 4.2 launcher.
4. Install build prop editor from the Play Store. Run Build Prop Editor and change ro.sf.lcd.density to 213. Then add new property: qemu.hw.mainkeys with value 0. Save and don't reboot yet.
5. Now reboot into CWM recovery then flash N7000.LS7.deodex.MultiWindow.zip then reboot.
6. Voila! most stock apps are resizable including Settings although they don't appear on the dock.
Now you can see the navigation bar with an arrow on the right that opens up a dock with some applications. At the moment all you see are Gallery, Videoplayer and Browser. Most stock apps are resizable but they don't appear on the dock. Now experiment by swapping apps from TAB7 2 and Note10.1 that you prefer to change depends on he layout you want. Some want the double pane apps like music player, files and task manager. Everytime you need to reboot for the apps to appear on the dock. Some work others don't depend on the window profile currently selected in the dock.
7 The apps from TAB and Note10.1 appear on the dock whereas the Note1 stock apps don't. And now, thanks to vingar for referring the thread from Note10.1, I was able to confirm my thought that all apps can be modded to be resizable like Spotify, Dropbox, Evernote as you can see on the screenshots below.
8. Now all we need is share the modded free apps so everybody can benefit - like Gmail, Youtube,etc. CALLING out those DEVs who are interested and have the skill to mod apps to participate. As for bought apps, you need to learn how to decompile and mod your bought apps.
9. Another concern is keeping the stock multiview functionality that is included in LS7 together with multiwindows from NOTE10.1 together make the device buggy so I decided to let go of the multiview of LS7 and stick with the multiwindows of NOTE10.1. You can do that by deleting the file com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone from system/etc/permissions. Note: Now multiwindow from LS7 and Note10.1 can co-exist but they should not be used at the same time. Turn off LS7 multiwindows if using the window layouts in the dock. That is completely up to you.
10. And that's it. Enjoy and I hope you share your experience and mods. Keep sharing fellows. Please PM me with link to modded apps so I can post it here for others to see without having to go all the way through the thread. Thanks.

** you can find modded non-stock apps on this thread. it even gives info on how to mod your own apps.
** Ianbbaa has just released his v3 ROM and I have tried it and just like he said, it is just a preview and has not been polished for speed yet because of time contraints on his part. I am currently testing my mod on stock odexed ROM and I find the speed better. [see quadrant screenshot below]. I admire his efforts and I am in fact using his modded apps from his ROM for my personal use for now and I advise you to try his ROM. If he would allow me I would make available his modded apps on this thread but until then, you can download it in his thread.
This is Greaaaat!!
I was trying to do something similar earlier but didn't have the time to follow it through!
Your efforts are impressive!
I shall try this when I get a moment!

Hi Everyone,
Just want to share my newbie experience. It seems multiview with LS7 is not enough so I remember some thread in this forum about changing dpi and so I did and experimented with different values and of course had FCs of TW Launcher and SystemUI, and I thought maybe I'll try the TW Launcher and SystemUI from the Note10.1 JB but I can't make it to work so I thought maybe the one from TA B7 2 JB would be a better fit and yes it did at 213 dpi which I was surprised because the icons are bigger than 240 dpi with the stock launcher and look nicer. I change build.prop to have soft buttons then based on the airview fix discussed in the forum, I was curious about such a small file would make airview work all of a sudden so I tried to see what permissions are different from Note10.1 to Note5.3 so I tried to copy persmissions that are missing from Note5.3 and rebooted and voila, I was surprised with stock Gallery and Videoplayer app with resizable/maximise/restore window support just like in DESKTOP PC. The other apps are not and the browser is FC. So I copied the browser from Note10.1 and the browser worked. The rest of the stock apps doesn't work but when I flashed the multiview hack circulating from the forums, I came up with most stock apps being resizable just like the Gallery app, even Settings, Dialer, Contacts, Music Player, Files, Snote, Smemo, Email, MMS even though they do not appear on the dock. I have been playing around with it for a few days now since the LS7 leak and it is a usable daily driver, fast and a bit buggy sometimes, maybe because I am not a dev and I don't know about modding and decompiling and recompiling and so and so. So if you Guys want to try I can share the procedure and the files to swap and I know you can better make a better ROM than I do.
Just to show you a screenshot.

Do some quadrant and AnTüTü benchmarks and post it in the relevant thread.
There is an off topic thread. Post there.
Make some screenshots of your home screen -> post it in the "post your home screen" threads...

I was actually on alliance alpha 1 when I tried this experiment and there was one error that I dont know how to resolve. I can't seem to connect to the computer by usb cable so I tried the one from bangsti and the error was gone although I think the alliance rom was faster. Maybe if robbie hood can include this in his rom as an option and polish it a bit, it would really be awesome.
You made it so simple it looks like a piece of cake
Have to dl deodexed rom to try it out. Thanks

Thanks. Just like I said I am a curious newbie but can follow instructions and its actually quite simple. If I knew how to maks a flashable zip then it would just be a one step. Try it out and substitue apps from tab7 2 and note10.1 and see what works for you including widgets from ICS. Tell us how ot goes.

Hi,
If you send me the edited files, and the paths they should go in, I could make it in a cwm zip for you.
It's quite easy to do.
Or else I could send you a pre made cwm zip that you can just place the things that you want flashing in.
Let me know if I can help.
Cheers
Corey

this is really cool [while a lot of us are waiting for MiniTab_v0,3] I tested on Ultimate_LS7, many stock apps work nicely, you share a huge thing xperiacle :good: if ianbbaa not releasing MiniTab_v0,3, believe some of us can mix your sharing with v0,2 for their own
hope all of these features together with v0,3 you and ianbbaa will make our incredible NOTE more wonderful :victory:
for those who want a CWM doing MOST steps in the OP, you can use my file as following, a backup before flashing is always recommended, it works on my Note with Ultimate_LS7
BEFORE flashing you need:
1. Make sure you are on rooted deodexed LS7 with CWM recovery. I haven't tried it on odexed one but maybe it will work.
2. Make sure install another launcher like Apex or Nova as a failsafe in case TW Launcher forecloses. I use Android 4.2 launcher.
3. Install Root explorer or Root browser lite or Solid Explorer or anything that can access root folder with R?W and can change permissions. Install build prop editor from the Play Store.
4. Run Build Prop Editor and edit ro.sf.lcd.density to 213. Then add new property: qemu.hw.mainkeys with value 0. Save and reboot.

[DEVELOPMENT] Xprt GB wishlist

So here it is, what do we want on or phones???
when do we want it??? now of course, but I just cant... LOL
My first thought TWRP, and the CM statusbar...
Please when posting here try to refer screenshots and/or zip files.
Many fixes and features can be flashed thru CWM or TWRP over deodexed ROMS, JFYI CM is a "bundle" of user-created features...
Once we deodex we can add any GB-compatible feature, so come on let´s hear it from rock bottom!!! (Rock Bottom by the offspring!!)
And btw, let's try and keep this organized. I´ll be going now but tonight Im gonna try and make the other threads (FAQ,DEV and others for our device!)
Peace!
I don't believe twrp is necessary. It'd be cool yes. But clockwork mod is our best hope with the 2nd init booting.

And honestly I just want fully functional and fully stable Cyanogen 9 or up. But. I lack the resources to do so. And on top of that I got in a skating accident on my way to the grocery store and broke my arm. So I'd rather do as little arm movement as possible.
Sent from my MB612 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, same here. If I could get at least a stable CM9, then I'd be happy. I just want the video camera to work, and for it to stop freezing and rebooting every so often. The rebooting is starting to annoy the hell out of me.

That's the point mate... get all the ics/jb eye candy, while conserving the stock sbf functionality, speed and stability...
I just need some help with the deodexing crap, I really do rock using any graphics software, so once we can extract and modify everything we´ll be into something.
For those of you who might not want to eithe deodex, flasha deodexed rom or flash a custom rom but want to somewhat theme or mod their phones, fire up google and look for ninjamorph...
ninjamorph if I remember well can perform theming operations directly on the phone, and it can deodex, modify and redex apks...
It IS a little old I think. so 2010´s...
Cheers!

"Eye candy" is none of my concerns. I actually need 4.0 or up with the same APIs as my Nexus 7. Whether it be apps, frameworks, or other things. I love this phone. Hate the software. Running the CM7 from rongsang still because I need stability to use it as a phone and tool. You cannot build a city with broken tools.

Those are the stock libs from a different device, copied from the thread that these originally came from here. Flashing them will replace the dalvik vm and some bionic libraries with the wrong, non stock versions.
I wouldn't advise that.

Kingvortex is right those files are from a different device and will not revert the stock files for xperia Z. You can grab the files from xperia Z system/lib folder and create a revert file.

Tested on odexed stock firmware.
I don't know is it placebo effect or not, or maybe because of clean dalvik-cache but i fell less lag.

No. You don't need to be deodexed either.

Just, odexed roms can not use these files for system applications.
System applications allready odexed in system partititon.

Hmm. Are you saying the dalvik vm won't run for system apps when using these zips? That would mean that no system apps would run at all, surely.
In any case, this is the only place that I've seen that says you need to be deodexed. The original thread says all stock roms and stock roms are always odexed.

i guess these files will (if) mostly impove your user apps. If you are in odexed rom.
Because of system apps allready extracted dex files.
After clear dalvik-cache, phone will generate only user apps dex files. System files will be ignored because of existwns of odex file.
Maybe, proccesing dex and odex file might improve tottaly.
Like i said, i guess...
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
These zips replace the dalvik vm binary and libs relating to the dalvik vm and bionic and should therefore affect all running apps, whether user or system.
As I understand it, there is no need to be deodexed to replace these files. Deodexing is for ease of modifying apks only. If someone has a link to correct me on this, then please do so, as I'm only an interested amateur and I'm always willing to learn something new.

Do u not read more? Its Google's 4.4.2 bugs.. Sony's specific bugs are like 10-15% maximum.. And these blobs aren't by some user, its officially given by Qualcomm and its just shared by some user.. And most importantly some user informed me when he compared checksums, our KK has already these blobs related to dalvik.. And problem is on all KK devices(4.4.2).. I highly suggest all users who just upgraded to KK, let the ROM settle.. And give it a few reboots, maybe along with a cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe..
Get your facts straight boy, if it is from qualcomm it has nothing to do with the OS itself and it is a driver issue, which the goddamn Sony should have made sure that they are bug free. Giving reboots to solve problems!!! what a nice suggestion!! do all phones come with reboot instructions from factory??? That made my night, thanks.

The dalvik vm and the bionic libraries aren't part of the OS?
