hi
?
i just want to know that how to convert Odex to deodex kindly help. also pls tell me whats the diff. btwn odex, deodex & Zipaligned ???
To deodex a rom there are several tools.
I use dsixda kitchen which can be found on xda. This will deodex zipalign etc.
Deodex offers benefits when using themes etc as stock roms have both the app and classes.odex file. Deodexing reorganises into a single apk file. That's the simple explanation.
When deodexing make sure you pick correct api level
Gb is api level 10
Ics is api level 15
Jb is api level 16
This can be set in the kitchen by selecting option v I believe before deodexing both folders
If you take a look in my rom thread in development I have posted a complete YouTube guide in how to do the above and create a custom rom for the note from scratch
Just look in the Cassies xtraliterom thread

Please can someone produced a stock deodex of the JPO 2.2 rom ?
Thanks

Ok, I have to ask - what exactly does "deodex" mean? I keep seeing the term but no explanation for it anywhere....
hey,
10 sec search in google....
Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.
Doc´s ROM v 7.6

Try Docs ROM v7.6 based od JPA or JPO! It is fully deodexed and zipaligned. You can also customize this ROM before aplying to the phone.
Before I get started, I understand the difference between an odexed rom and de-odexed rom. I understand what that means for themes.
But my question is, is there way to rebuild the odex file for an apk?
The story is, I'm on a Stock 2.1 Rom on my Samsung Captivate. I've changed fonts around already. But I want to add some framework animations, similar to the ones found in a few custom ROMs. I understand that with APK manager I can decompile an apk so that changes can be made. I also understand that because my ROM is odexed that I can't just put the apk back on the phone and everything will be fine.
Isn't there a way to take a de-odexed apk and make an odex file for it so that it can work again?
i really wish someone had answered this.. because i'm in the same boat. I'm using Gingeritis... an odexed rom for my tbolt. LOVE it. but i want to theme it. and its odexed and idk wtf to do

In a odexed ROM (not sure if using properly the word, I mean a ROM with apk and odex files) You can change the apk and odex files of the file (delete both) and put in a deodexed apk (framework-res.apk for example) of a deodexed ROM (not just deleting the odex. You need to fins a deodexed ROM, then pick the .apk
It will probably work (most devs do that and I have done that too with framework-res.apk and other system apk. Just change apk and odex for a "full" apk of another deodexed ROM
After trying several days to DEODEX an ODEXED ROM, I gave up because It's not working good for me, Bootloops, APK FC's and many more. So I decided to stick with ODEX Stock till someone does it properly. Im still new to this.
So since im on ODEX Stock -> I need to know whether its possible to -
* Mod PNG files inside APK's using Winzip
* Mod Framework-Res.APK to edit the XML "Bools" file to add CRT effect
* Use Deodexed APK's inside System/app folder
If the above is possible, are there things that I should keep in mind to not mess up the system ?
Thanks a lot guys !
Just download an already deodexed custom ROM. Most are.

Yes, Kitchen works great for deodexing, zipaligning and signing Roms, but doesn't create correct updater scripts for me.
I use x ultimate to deodex.
Here are guides I found helpful when I wanted to cook it myself

PS
If cp command does not work use busybox cp to replace odex files.
Deodexing and zipaligning is not development may be I'll share my rom when I learn more

But it worked for me.Did you change to edify after doing chances in the kitchen?
I almost forgot the options because I fully switched to manual thing because Its good for starter but not for persons who need to become a pro
I made a thread in the Android General section, but it must not be getting attention from anyone capable of deodexing an apk, or just nobody wants to do it.
I probably should have created the thread here, so I'm linking to it here.

There's a few things we need to know first. Why only one apk? Why not deodex your whole ROM? Or if you have a copy of the whole ROM could your send it to me…..I can't deodex just the SystemUI when it has dependencies on the other functions within the ROM i.e. Framework.jar.
Or if you could explain maybe what your hoping to achieve I could probably sort somethingout for you a much simpler way.
What phone do you have and what apks are you using now? If you want to theme or want some sort of function from an apk that’s not yours but is odex version there may be a way of breaking it down to its classes (if I knew what ROM it was from and you had the entire framework folder from the ROM along with the odex file) and then I can decompile the apk you use (I think that’s what your trying to achieve correct?) from your ROM, then bring the classes and/or pngs across, rebuild, re-optimise (not odex btw) and send it back to you maintaining the signature for your apks in your ROM.
The phone and rom it is running are in my sig. I only want the SystemUI deodexed so that I can make the status bar transparent and still enjoy the slightly improved performance of an odex'ed rom, because this is a low-end phone so anything to increase performance helps. I have also tried using the AutoDeo Tool, but I don't know how to figure out what the correct custom bootclass path line input should be.
I asked for some help in that thread this morning and feel that I'm getting closer to having a deodexed SystemUI. I hate having posts in so many places about the same problem, but it seems like not a whole lot of people know how to do it, and even fewer want to explain such a complex process.
Hopefully I'll be able to deodex my entire rom.zip and just replace the systemui that's on my phone with the deodexed one and delete the .odex file and everything will be ok.
