Hi,
Excuse me if this is a stupid question, but i have JS3 firmware with hardcore speedmod installed (latest version 23rd jan)
i was looking at installing some customs themes ,i tryed this earlier this week and when i rebooted the phone just got stuck at the splash screen and vibrated??
i read this is coz i am on stock roms? is this right?
can i deodex my stock rom, if so which is easiest way? or do i have to install a custom rom
many thanks

You're right, by far the easiest way to get a deodexed SGS is to install a custom rom. Try Doc's ROM kitchen (ht tp: / / romkitchen . org - sorry, can't post links yet) to customise one for yourself if you don't like any of the pre-built roms around.
It should be possible to deodex a stock rom yourself but you're in for a world of hurt if you don't feel comfortable mucking around with android development and the the SDK command line tools. Google baksmali to get started if you really want to pursue this avenue.
I am a Bell i9000m user -- I'm using Froyo right now (JL2 modem) which uses the 850 hz band
I desperately want to go to a Gingerbread ROM.
I understand before flashing roms via CWM I need to change the bootloaders to the new Gingerbread 2.3 models
Can anyone point me to directions as to do this (I think it would have to be done via ODIN I'm assuming?)
Also, do I use JV1 or JVK ? what's the difference ?
Cheers
You could try ezbase, it didn't work very well for me though. (errors on boot)

Otherwise, you could flash the gingerbread bootloaders, then your choice of gingerbread roms, or flash the stock deodexed JVB in ramad's thread, with odin.

So JVB is the one to go with ? I am gonna flash the bootloaders first to turn it into a stock Gingerbread phone then go from there.
What do you mean by stock "deodexed" JVB ? what's the difference between deodexed and/or the original stock ? Sorry I'm still kinda new / learning

yes definitely go with JVB bootloaders (e.g here, for files and instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047924) and install a good base rom (e.g.Docs, Simply Honey or Stock Rom) that installs the full JVB in ziplined and deodexed form: this will aloow you to add features and themes later. If you only install the basic odexed JVB you cannot add themes or apps without risking (and incurring, boot crashes).
After you have the Rom installed you can go back to Odin and flash the KC1 modem if the JVB modem doesn't connect with Bell (or adjust the settings as per here on how to activate the necessary band within any modem).
You can than flash any custom kernel if you want to further tweak and adust your system. (Warning, this does get to be fun).
Docs didnt work as well as i'd hoped, i ended up going with Bezke's rom - plus it already had the theme i was planning to install haha.
Hi Guys,
i want flash the new JVP on my phone tommorow. And i Think i will flash the Tegrak Kernel.
My Question:
I want a smooth handy without lags. What do you mean is the best way?
Stock Rom or De-odexed ROM ?
or Maybe a CustomROM.
Thx alote
With respect I would do a lot of research and reading before you jump into rom flashing, it will save you a lot of stress!

Hm, just read through all the flashing manuals. And if you think you kniw enough, you can look for your new ROM.
A custom ROM will run smoother than a stock rom and custom ROMs have some features stock ROMs don't have.

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?
Sent via ET and he phoned it in
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.
I just flashed the latest version of GingerReal2 JVT and to my disappointment there are no custom lockscreens.
Is there any mod that only flashes the custom lockscreens to a phone without any theming involved. I flashed GR2 for the look primarily and would not want to lose that.
Any help is appreciated
