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!

Is there a way to deodex the stock rom? I remember doing it on the OG but not much out there on this phone.
There's one on droidrzr.com

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 ?
Sent from my Blade S using xda app-developers app
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

wasn't sure where to post this? does anyone know if any devs plan on making a custom, debloated, deodexed stockish rom for us? maybe something with some tweaks and a jellybeanish theme? i know we all want aosp but id like something to tide me over until aosp get a bit more stable.
id gladly donate to the cause.

Give them some time. We have several Devs with this device that are known for making the roms that you speak of. You don't want a rushed product.

Could a modified Touchwiz rom take up much less space than the stock one? I like a lot of things about the S4's TW, but it's also tempting to go to CM or similar and free up a few GB.

Apparently this wicked rom is ~400mb less than stock. I just finally downloaded and flashed, everything's good so far, just setting everything up

/system and /data are different partitions. Debloated ROMs use less space, but it is still stuck on the /system partition. Now you can move some apps to /system if you want but right now no one has repartitioned the S4 (and if you did it could mess s lot of stuff up
Moved to Q&A
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.

I'm running the stock ng2 rom. Rooted. No mods. Knox stripped. I was using sacs v3. But the bugs annoyed me so I went back to stock and downloaded but never flashed v4. Does v4 have all s5 apps, settings, and toggles in the notification? That rom was pretty snappy and would probably give it a go if it makes my device more s5 looking.:thumbup:

Sacs v4!
Okay Son Rise. You talked this rom up soo much in the sacs v4 thread and this one and I just flashed it and wasted my time... As in, having v4 on my sdcard and not flashing it sooner! This rom is what I been looking for. All s5 themed and the basic mods. So far everything is running smoothly. I notice a settings icon bug but what is that to a stable, smooth rom. Thanks for the recommendation and I also recommend sacs v4 if you want to refresh your old s4 to a s5 and some.

I just flashed hyperdrive from the Verizon s4 section and I had to change the apn to get 4g/3g working but I can get mms but can't send mms, everything work's while running kt kernel but the menu list are Grey on Grey but it's still works and the lock screen options work without any extra work, maybe the creator of this Rom and sacs should link up and share codes.
