is deodexing like this?

if there is an apk named browser.apk and an odex file named browser.odex
if i do is modify the zip and rename the .odex to classess.dex and placing it on .apk will this be eodexing?
if so would this work on my cherry mobile titan tv/karbonn a30 ics MTK6577?

No Deodexing is something else.... If you wanna deodex then
1.) Download XUltimate (google it)
2.) Switch on USB Debugging Mode and connect phone to pc! (Dont switch on USB Transfer)
3.) Now Select pull and deodex all folders! (if this option is not there then something similar to this will be there)
4.) After deodexing all apks the place where you installed xUltimate there will appear to folder done_app and done_framework.. (Something similar... This depends on the version of xUltimate)
5.) Rename the folders to app and framework and then copy to sdcard after activating usb mode
6.) Push the folders into system folder va Root Browser! (I hope you have rooted your mobile)
7.) Reboot! You are done
*NOTE: If you get an error while deodexing delete the .odex of which it is giving error and then select deodex both folder!

I found one on xda but link is dead can u give me a copy and does xultimate work with ics?
Sent from my Titan TV S320 using xda premium

odex is a file which makes the system load apps faster,
so you cannot modify a system app without editing the odex file,
it's like a browser with cache,
deodexing would cause the system to load each time you access a system app,

[Tip] Removing the Airplane mode icon for cellular Note tablets (P605)

When I am not traveling, I have wifi coverage at work and home, and I turn off the cell radio of my Note tablet to conserve battery use. The easy way is to enable Airplane mode, and then turn on wifi. However, you would have a persistent airplane icon showing up in the status bar. This thread will provide instruction on how to remove that icon.
First, I should acknowledge this thread for posting the general approach, which I modified to work specifically for the Note 10.1 (2014) with TW-based rom.
1. Your tablet must have root access, and a root file browser. I use ES File Explorer.
2. Browse to /System/priv-app, copy the file 'SystemUI.apk' and paste it in another directory (e.g., Document folder)
3. Transfer the file to a Windows computer
4. Open the file with Winrar, do not extract. Just browse the content within Winrar.
5. Go to /res/drawable-xhdpi, look for the "stat_sys_signal_flightmode.png" file. Delete this file within Winrar.
6. Exit Winrar. It automatically save the file (SystemUI.apk). Transfer it back to the Note tablet (e.g., Document folder)
7. Use ES File Explorer, copy the (new) SystemUI.apk to "/System" folder ***(NOT the "/System/priv-app" folder)
8. Once inside the /System folder, change file permission of SystemUI.apk to rw- r- r- (R/W for owner, R only for Group and Other)
9. Move (Cut and Paste) the SystemUI.apk file from "/System" folder to the "/System/priv-app" folder
10. Restart, and you should see the little Airport icon gone forever. (Airplane mode on/off still functions normally)
This method has been tested on the xKat rom by hanspampel. However, it should work on stock other deodexed TW roms with root, since the systemUI.apk location and the way it defines the status bar icons are the same.
PS. On the web, some suggested that ROM Toolbox Pro offers the function to modify the status bar icons. I have tested that and I did NOT work at all. As far as I know, the above the only method that works at the moment.
[Update] This method does NOT work on stock ROM, as the apps are still odexed. So you couldn't just replace the SystemUI.apk with a new one by overwriting.
[Update 2] I got it to work with stock Roms, by taking a SystemUI.apk file from a deodexed TW rom (like the xKat ROM from hanspampel), and modifying it (deleting the png file). Finally, I removed also the SystemUI.odex (from the stock ROM) before overwriting the System.apk with the modified one (from deodexed ROM).

OP, please delete this thread of worstenbrood's dap_r6.5. zip so XDA moderation does not have to do so. Even the main zip's MD5 matches dap_r6.5, not to mention this forum section is already diluted with sound mod after sound mod at this point.

Thread closed. Please review the forum rules, specifically rules 5 and 12.

[Zips][Devs]Helpful zip files

Hi devs. Hi users. Hi testers!
I made two zips that might help you in some random point of time in future.
:laugh:
Both zips are flashable via recovery. Note that I have only tested working on aosp and cm-based roms. No custom skinned-oem ROM tested. However, it would be good if you provide info on what roms they work (or not)
This zip will remove the password/pin/pattern from your lock screen and reset it to swipe-to-unlock mode.
Not tested with smart lock modes.

This zip allows you to authenticate ADB from device, without booting the ROM first. Useful for devs who need ADB access even while booting the ROM for the first time.
Things you must have :
Code:
1) A pc which you have previously used to authenticate ADB access.
2) The zip from my link.
3) Some non-noob brain. Majorly this zip is for devs.
How to proceed :
Code:
1) First we need to obtain a file named "adbkeys.pub".
1a) For windows, go to the windows drive (usually c: drive) and browse to /users/(your-username-here)/.android/
1b) For most Linux distros : go to home directory, browse to /.android/
Generally .android will be hidden by default. In that case, just enable hidden files and folders from folder view options.
2) After you get the adbkeys.pub file, open it with a text editor. You will see a code there. Copy all of that code. Or use the shortcuts (ctrl+A) and then (ctrl+C).
3) Extract my zip. You will see a file in /data/misc of the extracted zip. Open that file with text editor. Erase any previous text in my file. Or use the shortcut (ctrl+A) and then (del). Paste the previously copied code into that file. Or use the shortcut (ctrl+V).
4) Save the file, rezip the extracted folders (which are data and meta-inf).
5) Flash that final zip file from recovery.
