i want to deodex my rom on s4 4g model, how can i do this is there a tool to do this? the galaxy s4 toolkit only allows you to reodex but not deodex
can anyone provide me with a way of doing this? i have the latest official firmware and it is rooted
Just flash a deodexed rom. It's easier. There are roms that don't wipe.

As mentioned above. Easiest way.
if i flash a deodexed rom over my odexed rom, will this be ok? the firmware is exactly the same though
how will this if at all affect the phone?
It won't affect anything but the odexed apps that will be replaced with deodexed ones. Don't forget to backup your rom via rom manager or from recovery mode.
And btw it all depends on the rom you want to flash. Cuz some roms don't have bloatware or Google apps installed.

I think that changing from a odexed rom to a deodexed rom is recommended to do a full wipe.
Make a backup and wipe, it isn't hard.
Or just go for it, without wiping. If you see any problems, do the wipe (and use the backup I recommend doing anyway).

I'm coming from Galaxy S2, and flashing the rom is very easy via Odin. I want to flash the Task650's KME V5 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227800).
Is it possible to flash that rom via odin? Please let me know. Many thanks in advance!
No. You have to flash the ROMs from cwm recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
Get FilesForDummies.zip, flash recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5 via Odin, put the ROM .zip on your tab, flash the ROM you like from cwm.
how can i root the stock rom then? I want to freeze some useless things

It is not recommended to flash any 3rd party ROM on the Galaxy Tab 10. There are currently no stable or reliable ROMs that can match the stock ROM.

I have a KF1 firmware which is stock. Now i want to install custom ROM using ROM Manager on MY SGS2. But then I want to use KJ3 custom ROM. Is it possible? Because when I try installing it using CWM on recovery mode and ROM Manager, it is simply not working.
I hope someone could me out here.
Thanks
Is your phone rooted? If not you may need to do a bit of research on how to flash custom kernels and how to use Odin. Its not hard to do, but it very easy to stuff the phone if not done properly.
I have rooted my phone using custom kernel. I use CF-root.
But my Firmware is still kF1. I am now trying to update it to 3.3.5 using odin.
how were you trying to flash the custom rom? Just need to see if your missing a step
Guys, thanks...
I have read bunch of new ideas here.
Currently I am using stock KI3 and want to use the Kitchen Room Ki3 which is Deodexed Rom to install some good themes.
I am right on these?
Odexed = stock rom
deodexed = custom rom?
Not exactly. We have some custom odexed ROMs too ;-) But, you will never see stock deodexed ROM for sure.

hi im tring to download honeycomb explosion but it says its for deodexed e122 rom in the video. I dont know what that is? i have a rooted 2.3.5. with super user permisions. with CWM5 and thats it everything else is stock. so what is a DEODEXED EI22 ROm.
also if i install this theme how do i get it back to stock sansung gingerbread if i wanted to.?? thanx
A simple google of this will give you an answer on that. But easy answer is most custom ROMs are deodexed for ease of modding and stock is Odexed. You should run a nandroid backup of your system, flash a custom ROM then flash your theme. You don't like it then restore your backup.

This is stock deodexed, think this is what you're looking for.
Hi,
I am about to flash the PA rom on my N4 but before doing that I need to know how easier I can come back to my stock setup.
I have made a complete nandroid backup but I am not sure if that will work. My baseband and bootloader are already latest versions so that's that.
Actually I'm not sure if flashing the stock rom back is the only way so need to confirm that.
Thanks!
You can either go back to stock by flashing the stock nexus 4 images, or by restoring your nandroid backup that you created while you are on stock ROM.

Or you can simply download the deodexed stock 4.2.2 ROM and flash it via recovery. Just wipe cache and dalvik cache.

But it isn't really stock because he won't get OTA's if the rom is deodexed, right?

If you flash a stock ROM from XDA whether its deodexed or odexed it won't install ota because its signed differently

Thank you so much for your helpful responses, I was able to "test" and successfully restore my previous setup using a nandroid backup so no need to flash stock images/firmwares
So, we have two options when we want to go back to previous rom:
1. Either flash a factory image as mentioned (which erases all the system data etc etc)
2. Make a nandroid backup before installing a custom rom and restore the backup if youre not happy with it
Cheers and Thanks again! :good:
Hello everyone so I installed lean kernel on my SM-N900W8 Note 3 and of course I didn't backup the original kernel. So I was wondering if anyone could provide my with a download of the stock SM-N900W8 kernel as I want to go back to it. Thanks in advance!
All of the Samsung stock ROMs are at sammobile.com.

But I want to try to avoid wiping the device totally, or will I be able to install the ROM without fully wiping my device?
You can extract the kernel from the stock rom.
I think it is a good idea to have a copy of the stock rom in case there is a need to flash back to a stock rom.

Would you be able to tell me how to extract it? I already have a copy of the rom.
Edit - Never mind I got it, Thanks for the help!
If lean kernel has aroma installer then there should be a feature of going back to stock kernel If not then:-
Try pekaka kernel where you've feature of aroma installer and there's a step to revert back to stock kernel.
I usually uses same method to revert back to stock. After that keep backup of your kernel
