question on apk's for deodexed roms

If I want to use an application from 2.1 on my 2.2 rom can I do it? It is the touchwiz launcher and there is the touchwiz30launcher.apk and touchwiz30laucher.odex, and the 2.2 rom is deodexed, so do I have to do something special for it to work or can I just copy the apk and it will work?

Why not use the 2.2 version?

[Q] Oxeded - deoxeded: noob question.

Hi guys.
probably this is a noob question.
Btw i didn't find a thread to explain my doubts.
I have a stock jvp with cf root and ext4 partitions.
1. I know the meaning of oxeded and deoxeded, but i don't know which roms/mods/updates can i use first (oxeded? deoxeded?). Can i have an example/guide for first mod i have to run?
2. I have to put a oxeded mod before? or viceversa? is the same procedure to put a oxeded or a deoxeded mod?
Thanks in advance for help guys, probably these questions are very easy for you. But without learning bases i can't do anything

Hi, as you know the meaning of odexed/deodexed, let's know that there're deodexed ROMs, i.e. roms, that have this feature implemented. So you'll have your apps fully deodexed when flashing your phone with any custom rom with "deodexed" feature in their list. There're many of them, I like Juwe's, Darky's, F1 and Ficeto's stock ROMs. But there're many other cool variants, so it's yours to choose one. Good luck with flashing)

If the rom your using is deodexed you use deodexed mods, which is pretty much all of them. If you are using an odexed rom use only odexed mods. Pretty much every custom rom is deodexed and Ramad has a collection of pre deodexed stock roms available for cwmhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790 and since you already have cfroot installed it is quick and easy using cwm to change to a custom or just deodexed JVP rom.
Hope this helps

Ok, thanks guys. I begin to understand something more. So, for example, if i want a deoxeded rom, just have to flash it by odin as i do with a standard rom? and then to install deoxeded mods i like?

Can the apk be mixed between the different builds? ie can I put odexed files on deodexed build?

I don't think it works. I put just an deodexed update to my stock rom some days ago and the phone didn't start anymore. I had to reflash the rom. Obviously, my bad, i didn't made a backup...otherwise i think a restore is enough.

Umm, you can flash deoxdexed roms via odin, but it is easier to do so through CWM which CFroot(the kernel you have) has built in so you can just chuck a custom rom or deodexed stock rom on your sd and flash it. Be aware odin and cwm take different files and aren't cross compatible. Most custom roms are in cwm form and will say on the thread. From there you should only use deodexed mods. So if the rom is deodexed use deodexed mods, if it isn't use odexed mods. Have a bit of a search around about cwm and more info on what odex files are and do.

Ok. just the last thing: The rom shall be flashed by cwm with "install from sd"?
thanks a lot for help, i appreciate people as you that helps full noob as me

Yep, install from SD, good to do a backup of your current rom which can be done in recovery and go back to rfs from ext4. You can hit the thanks button if you want

First tings first, deodexed and APKs with odex file can work together in system, I use them right this moment.
After reading about what is this all about, conclusion is that odexed system is better, only advantage I found stated about deodexed system is theming ability.
So I decided to try to theme new 2.3.4 odexed stock ROM, and guess what?!
It works!
So now I can't find not one advantage of deodexing ROM.
BTW odexed system is stated faster, so doing file system conversion (lagfix),
and deodexing is like adding + and - at the same time.

[Q] How to deodex Stock V20B?

Can anyone help to deodex and zipalign stock V20B?
I found this but it's for Froyo and some people reported problems.
And what's the difference between odexed zipaligned and deodexed ROM aside from being able to edit system apps?

google it. you can find what you know

Need file browser.apk from ICS Stock ROM

Hi everybody, I have a little request. Can someone post the file "browser.apk" from an ICS Stock ROM for Galaxy Note?
I need to install the stock browser modified by Samsung, because it's the only one I like. I don't like the stock ICS browser (it's too laggy for me, expecially for the pinch to zoom), so I want to replace it with the Samsung Stock version.
Can somebody help me? I made a search and I found only the Gingerbread version of the browser. It doesn't work with my ICS version (it's a Cyanogenmod 9 RC1). I can't install a stock ICS ROM because my Note is an italian one, and ICS is not officially shipped anymore.
I'm not very familiar with installing ROMS on Android, so I don't want to install unsafe ROMs.
If ICS Stock browser.apk doesn't work, is there a modded ROM with the Samsung Stock browser?

this needs to be in Q&A notihng to do with dev section, post reported

Sorry, made a mistake! :|

Downloads stock ROM for CWM from the DEV section.
Unzip, locate the required APK and drop it into system/app then reboot.
Job done.
Backup any files you replace, just in case..... Copy them to your memory card.
You need to be rooted for this to work and use a tool like ES File Explorer that allows you to mount system as writable.

Hi, thank you for your reply.
I have found Stock ROMS you can install with Odin. Are they the same? Because I tried to extract browser.apk but i couldn't.

To be honest I don't know
There must be a way of extracting the APK but I've never worked with Odin ROMs
You could try one of the Rocket ROMs
They are CWM and close to stock
Because they are CWM they are basically zip files so it is easy to extract APK
Or search the forums for info on extracting from TAR and zimage

Easy way: Install a Custom Rom, they are all deodexed.
Hard way: Learn how to cook a Rom (for example with Dsixda's kitchen) - look in my thread for a tutorial working for the Note with this kitchen.
