Hi guys,
I'm a bit frustrated when I see so few compatible mods for odex roms whereas all are for deodex.
As I want to keep running on odex roms for performance reasons, I'm wondering if it's possible to deodex only some system apps in order to be able to install a deodex mod ?
For example, let's imagine that I deodex Secphone and SecContact, in this case I might be able to install the mod to add the phone conversation recording.
Is it nonsense or is it something possible ?
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone has made a stock theme template for the Shift? All I see are ROMs but I like to mess around with a clean stock deodexed system for a while before I flash a full ROM. I would make one myself but I'm still learning how the update-script/updater-script works. Is there one, or does everyone just flash ROMs around here? Closest I've found is the theme eraser, but that assumes you're already deodexed (no .odex removal script). Any help would be appreciated, links to guides, tutorials, how CWM works, a stock theme template, anything. And thanks in advance.

Thank you, but this is a full ROM not a theme template.

Are you looking for the stock framework then?

Basically just the /system/app and /system/framework dirs deodexed. no other changes to the system folder. And a script that removes the odex files. Can that be run with just an update-script, or would it need other things?

Just unzip the zip file from the thread foxsdaddy67 linked & you have access to those two deodexed directories.
I guess I'm not being clear enough. I'm aware those files are there, what I don't understand is how cwm works. I'm coming from sdx where every rom, theme and mod had the same structure with only an update script in meta-inf. By testing I did find out that just having an update script works though I'm not sure if a script will run. Guess I'll have to test it.
Bottom line is that there is no flashable theme template zip, only roms, but I think I'll be fixing that shortly.

No, I'm not. Just an end user.
Hi all
I have a Samsung Galaxy mini (S5570L) and I'm trying to edit Phone.apk, I wanna replace the unknown caller picture for the stock android picture, I already managed to do that but I have 2 questions:
1) When I try to replace Phone.apk with the one I edited the phone starts vibrating uncontrollably and I can't seem to be able to do pretty much anything, is there any special treatment when editing system APKs??
2) The stock Samsung ROM is odexed so I know editing and replacing the APK isn't as simple as it sounds, what else do I need to do after zipping the APK in APK Manager??
Thanx for you help
P.S.: This is a wild idea but is there a way to change the TouchWiz Phone.apk for the stock Froyo Phone.apk??

To 2.
It causes issues if u have some odexed and one deodexed apk so u should deodex all apks.
1. Do a logcat to find out what's wrong .
Did u push the file via adb?
And u should sign the apk ...

Thanx man, turns out I needed to deodex the APK before editing (which I didn't know).
I've got another question, since I'm using a stock Samsung ROM should I deodex all the system and framework apps?? 'Cause that sounds like a huge amount of work

Hi all,
I have started porting my Semi-universal battery mods over to the nexus 4 ready for when I get mine. but I was wondering the two following things:
Firstly, to make the battery mods, I need the systemUI,apk to be deodexed, but if I am running a stock Odexed rom, will I still be able to place a deodexed systemUI.apk in the System/app folder and the phone still work?.
And is the a tool which lets me Deodex a single apk file, as all the ones I have found require you to deodex a whole rom.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
Cheers

You DEODEX through JAVA, Smali and backsmali commands in Command Prompt.
I can answer the 2nd question. Not all deodexed apks can run on an odexed rom. Played around with them before and some do, some don't

I can confirm. Im running an Odexed rom and flashed 3 deodexed apk's today. An accuweather widget, voice mail and a transparent digital clock. All working fine
The OPs question has been misunderstood
The OP's question has been misunderstood. The question was not whether if you can run a deodexed .apk in an odexed ROM. On the contrary, the question was - can you run a odexed apk within a deodexed ROM. I stumbled onto this thread 'cuz I'm in a current situation where I'm asking the same question now.
Although I know the question the OP asks seems as if they're asking if you can place a deodexed apk within a odexed ROM, the overall question is how do you deodex a single apk to begin with?
I'm running a deodexed custom ROM on a Galaxy Note 2, however....virtually all the deodexed ROMs I've installed contain a flaw....the samsungcamera.apk is missing features. However, my default, stock ROM that I restored from my nandroid displays a complete camera full with the features I use regularly. So I was wondering....how do you deodex an apk? In other words, I have currently extracted from the stock ROM the samsungcamera.apk and its accompanying .odex file. Now I would like to join these and create a deodex version of this so I can import it into the custom ROM I'm using.
I believe the question was somewhat answered already on here. I will investigate a little further.
Thanks, guys.

I'd like to run an AT&T dedex ROM on my AT&T S4. But the only good looking theme is for Odex ROM's:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2264641
Anyone know if after upgrading to a Deodex ROM with lots of mods for Deodex ROM's, if I can then safely conver to Odex and then apply the Odex theme?
There are scripts that will convert from deodex to odex, but I'm not sure if it will screw anything up. And without a true recovery, it's a PITA for me to try and fail.
If you go to page 18 post 173 of that thread you posted you will see a hack way of getting it to work on deodexed ROM that someone posted

You should mod deodexed and odex it afterwards.
