Deodexed stock Telus/Koodo rom

I'm looking for a deodexed version of the stock Telus/Koodo (Canada) rom for Galaxy Ace. I have the odexed version, but I'm not sure how to deodex. If anyone knows where I can get the deodexed version, or can help me with deodexing, it would be greatly appreciated.

Quietly, THIS IS DEVELOPMENT SECTION and not Q&A or GENERAL, POST IT THERE, here will be posted roms! READ THE XDA RULES BEFORE POSTING -.-

I only know how to deodex on Windows.
First have/download your SG Ace firmware (Canada)
Extract your firmware contents using MagicISO to: firmware_name\system
Download AutoDEOTool1.0.4 (Just a modified version of the tool, including updated binaries)
Unzip it to a directory without spaces e.g: C:\
Move/Copy your firmware's apps and framework files to: _app & _framework
Run AutoDEOToolMain.bat
Hit 2 to be specific.
To find your bootclasspath, just download Terminal Emulator on your Android phone
Run the command: echo $BOOTCLASSPATH
To save it in your sdcard, run: echo $BOOTCLASSPATH>>/sdcard/bootclasspath.txt​
Open the bootclasspath.txt, remove any "/system/framework/" codes (without the quotes) then save it
Now copy everything in bootclasspath.txt
Then in the AutoDEOToolMain windows, paste your bootclasspath & hit enter
This will deodex all files in _app & _framework
NOTE: If there are still some odexed files left, then use dsixda's kitchen to deodex the remaining files.​
Now copy/move all files in _app to your firmware's /system/app folder
Copy/move all files in _framework to your firmware's /system/framework folder
Now you have a deodexed Canada firmware!
Download these rom_tools and extract it to the root of the extracted firmware (firmware_name)
Now add the boot.img
Zip it and to flash it!

Thanks, I'll try that tonight. What exactly do the rom tools do? I looked at the archive, and I'm pretty sure busybox means root, but what about the rest?

data folder is optional to include
META-INF folder is to flash the ROM
format.sh formats your Ace/Gio
installbusybox.sh installs busybox
mkfs.ext4 is the tool that format.sh uses

[Q] Odex rom from pc.

Hey guys,i didnt find a tutorial so i will ask you here.How can i download a rom and odex it from pc before i flash it?Because its not easy to odex every rom i download with universal odex script.Im too lazy to do this(and many times terminal print errors and i have to do this again).I know it could be happen cause many of you create roms and upload which already are odexed!Thanks guys for your help!

I found solution from alin.p. So here is a nice tutorial:
You have to flash it de-odexed first, then odex whatever part of your system you want with the Universal Odex Script which you'll find in the Mini forums, then extract the odex files from:
1. /system/app if you odexed system apps
2. /system/framework if you odexed the bootstrap or the framework
Put the extracted files inside the zip in the appropriate folders.
A little warning here: even a single (no matter how little) change inside the framework code, will break the whole ROM if it is odexed.

where do i find the script need it link please

[GUIDE][TUTORIAL] Create small flashable zips to restore before applying MODs/Fonts

I originally posted this on the G2 forum, now I am on OnePlus and I realized of course this is the same procedure with a few small differences in file locations, etc, so posting here too.
GUIDE: CREATING SMALL FLASHABLE ZIPs TO RESTORE FILES OR SETTINGS WITHOUT HAVING TO DO FULL NANDROID RESTORE
This will enable you to apply MODs without having to do a FULL NANDROID restore to recover if the MOD fails or if you don't like it
This brief guide will teach you how to create a flashable ZIP file that you can use to restore your phone to pre-MOD settings if you want to revert back or if the MOD simply does not work
WITHOUT having to do a full restore of your phone.​
It is a very good idea to create these backup flashable ZIPs and keep them safe to recover from mishaps or when creating/testing MODs/themes.​
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
As usual: Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any loss of data or functionality on your phone. To be 100% sure, always make a NANDROID backup if you are not 100% certain you can recover.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************​
There are many reasons you might want to do this, for example when testing a MOD for another ROM that is similar to yours but not exactly the same, or when upgrading your ROM to a new version and wanting to re-apply old MODs to test if they work.
There are many ways to get into boot loops or fail to boot, the biggest culprit being fonts installations, but include also bootanimations and others.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Part 1: general
1. Install ZIPme app from playstore
2. Find out which files are being modified by the MOD you are trying to apply, this is usually framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, but be aware that some MODs affect a lot of files. See part 2 for more details on how to do this.
3. If you are applying a font, don't worry, the FONTs section (see part 2) should cover all Fonts.
4. If you are applying a bootanimation, don't worry, the bootanimation section (see part 4) should cover all Bootanimations.
5. For every flashable ZIP you create you can test it straight away by booting into recovery and applying the zip file. There is no reason why it should not work.
Part 2: FONTS
1. In ZIPme select the following:
- ADD FOLDER: /system/fonts
- ADD FILE: /system/etc/system_fonts.xml
2. Create the flashable zip in an /sdcard location you can access from recovery
Part 3: MODs that affect framework-res.apk, LGSystemUI.apk or any other app
1. Find out which apks are being modified:
- You should of course read the OP (instructions for the MOD)
- The easiest way to find out modified apks is to download the MOD and open it: the zip file will contain either the apk files themselves or have directories with the names of the apks being modified.
- You can always ask the developer to make sure
2. Once you have a full list of files being affected you can create the flashable zip:
- in ZIPme, simply select "ADD -> File" for every file being affected
- If you have an ODEX ROM (.odex files are present) make sure you pick those too!
- save the flashable zip in an /sdcard location you can access from recovery
Part 4: Bootanimations
1. In ZIPme select the following:
- ADD FILE: /system/bin/bootnimation
- ADD FILE: /system/media/bootanimation.zip
2. Create the flashable zip in an /sdcard location you can access from recovery
Part 5: Other flashable files you should always keep handy
1. Always keep with you the following files for good measure: they don't take much space but can help recover from problems without having to fully restore from NANDROID backup
- original kernel from your ROM
- flashable bootloader (if you do not know what I am talking about then DON'T do it)
- flashable baseband (if you do not know what I am talking about then DON'T do it)
- flashable recovery image (TWRP, etc)
- "Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip": this is created by Xposed when you install it. It is located in the root folder of your sdcard. Copy it and put it somewhere safe.
- SuperSU: keep a flashable latest SuperSU with you to recover root
Any comments, suggestions, feedback are welcome
