[Q] Odex before compression

Is it possible to odex a system before I compress it into a androidinstall and send it to my device to install?
If so how?

only way i have found to odex is through the phone

How do people release odex'ed builds then?

2 ways
1. if adb works push the odex script to /data run the scrpit (search odex donut or dzo's instructions on how to use it), then do an adb pull of /system then repack it into a .tar and go
2 adb doesnt work for me so here is how i do it, i load up my build and in the /data folder i have the odex script, i run the script using terminal emulator, then i restart after its finished and put in a blank sd card then i copy the app and framework folders from /system to the SD and replace those folders in the original .tar with the newly odex'd ones

I put the odex script into data and then added it to init

I asked dzo once and he answered me, in the Fresh Froyo thread. The search function isn't working right now, but when you read this it might be working. Another thread described things in more detail, but I long ago forgot where that thread is. I never got odexing to work outside the phone, but here is the script I have tried. Note that the dexpreopt.py python script has to be edited to mount system as read/write, or it completely fails. I run this after a complete build.
Code:
#! /bin/sh
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch us_vogue-userdebug
rm out/target/product/vogue/obj/PACKAGING/systemimage_unopt_intermediates/system.img
ONE_SHOT_MAKEFILE=/home/devel/android/build/tools/dexpreopt/Android.mk make -C /home/devel/android/ files
make
mkdir /tmp/system-odex
rm -rf /tmp/system-odex/system
cp -ra out/target/product/vogue/system /tmp/system-odex
dexpreopt.py --outsystemdir=/tmp/system-odex/system
for i in /tmp/system-odex/system/app/*.apk; do zipalign -f 4 $i /tmp/zip; mv /tmp/zip $i; done
tar -C /tmp/system-odex -czf odex.tgz system

ok thanks
I'll work with it

Also there is a script I use to odex files as they are downloaded from the market or installed on the phone. It is inside of my barebones build and if you look inside my userinit from my build you will see the call to the file.
Edit: I do not take credit for it, I just claim to be a source of the file as I already have it.

[Q] [ROM DEV] Preventing errors with scripts in any ROM

Hi anyone,
Some things I want to discuss about.
1. DBDATA/databases
You should know that I include a update-script command to delete the /dbdata/databases folder in my ROM to prevent any App related problems.
But I think, since 2.2.1 this won't work anymore.
So does any ROM Dev has a workaround?
Or can someone confirm, that this works?
My update-script command:
Code:
delete_recursive DBDATA:databases
2. "rm" or "busybox rm" in a bash script?
When writing a script which gets executed from the update-script, do we need to use a simple "rm" or "busybox rm" for deleting files?
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that busybox is functional already?
My script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# Script written by darkyy // Joel Staub
# Script to prevent errors during the ROM installation
cd /sdcard
#/sdcard/Darky-Wallpaper
if [ -d "Darky-Wallpaper" ]; then
rm -r "Darky-Wallpaper"
fi
#/sdcard/Gingerbread_Keyboard
if [ -d "Gingerbread_Keyboard" ]; then
rm -r "Gingerbread_Keyboard"
fi
#/sdcard/launcherpro_backup
if [ -d "launcherpro_backup" ]; then
rm -r "launcherpro_backup"
fi
#/sdcard/Voodoo
if [ -d "Voodoo" ]; then
rm -r "Voodoo"
fi
#/sdcard/WindowsPhone7_Icons
if [ -d "WindowsPhone7_Icons" ]; then
rm -r "WindowsPhone7_Icons"
fi

"busybox rm" is the secure way when you need some functions of the busybox "rm" command, for example "rm -r".
If "rm" exists in /system/bin/ and a "rm" symlink to busybox in /system/xbin/, the shell chooses the one in /system/bin.
If the stock rm binary got removed it will work without busybox, but if not, "rm -r whatever" for example would fail.

Thank you very much for this well-written answer.
So, does busybox work even when the ROM is installing?

*PUSH*
10char

Busybox works if the initramfs of the kernel used while installing has busybox. (Not the one included in the rom)

Thank you dude.
I finished with doing my "rm" commands with busybox.
Will be great for my ROM

yes, busybox works even when installing rom
btw, to play safe, u need to chk if it is a symlink with -L, coz -d wont handle symlinks

[SCRIPT] Permissions Init Script

Hey guys,
I had a nasty issue with Bi-Winning a couple weeks ago where I pushed custom framework and totally forgot about permissions. Apparently when you don't set the proper permissions it can really slow things down.
So I figured this could easily be avoided. So because of that and our CWM "Fix Permissions" option doesn't really do anything, I wrote this script to fix it!
Upon every boot, it will scan /system/app, /system/framework/, and /data/app and set the proper permissions for all the files in there.
Users
note if you're on Trigger 2.9.1+ or Bi-Winning V1+ you do NOT have to do this. It's built into your ROM already.
Flash the attached zip named "CWM_Flash_Permissions_Script.zip"
Ironically, it may not have the correct permissions after you flash it, so then do either of the following
1) Do these commands in ADB to set the correct permissions
Code:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
busybox chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/*
or
2) Open up Root Explorer (or something similar)
navigate to /system/etc/init.d/
in there find the new file S30edt_perms
long press, and set the permissions
make it look like this
Code:
x x x
x x x
x x x
Here's the init.d script, it's really simple, but also effective
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# Permission script
# Written by Einherjar Dev Team
# www.edtdev.com
logFile=/data/edt/logs/S30edt_perms.log
if [ -f $logFile ]; then
rm $logFile
fi
touch $logFile
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
echo "Setting permissions" >> $logFile
for file in /system/app/* /system/framework/* /data/app/*; do
echo " setting permissions (644) for $file" >> $logFile
chmod 644 $file
done
echo "chmodding init.d folder"
chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d
for file in /system/etc/init.d/*; do
echo " setting permissions (777) for $file" >> $logFile
chmod 777 $file
done
echo "Permissions set" >> $logFile

Very cool, thanks roman.

[slight OT] Just getting wifi working on an old ideapad y510 in slackware was an epic struggle... (wicd my arse)
[back on topic] I wish more devs would post script contents (though we can easily download and look in vi or notepad)... it helps the learning curve immensely
grateful for all the work EDT and rest of dev community does. We all are.
Question: What does the fix permissions CWM do then?

Hmm, ok you might need super user permissions do this and let me knkow if it works:
1) type in "adb shell"
2) type in su (don't press enter yet)
3) turn your screen on & unlock it
4) press enter on the su prompt, then his yes on the screen
then try that chmod command again.

bad mode in the command line? gotta give me something more here
if it' s when you run chmod +x try this one:
Code:
busybox chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/*

Oh crap, thanks for pointing that out man. Easy fix
do this
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
busybox chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/*
should work like a charm
by the way, next time you flash a newer edt rom, they already have this fix built in. since you overwrote the file, you'll need to run the above commands to set the correct permissions as they get messed up sometimes when modifying them.

That did the trick, thanks.

The script in the .zip says
Code:
# Permission script
# Written by Roman (birgertime)
# www.edtdev.com
logFile=/data/edt/logs/S30edt_perms.log
if [ -f $logFile ]; then
rm $logFile
fi
touch $logFile
echo "Setting permissions" >> $logFile
for file in /system/app/* /system/framework/* /data/app/*; do
echo "setting permissions for $file" >> $logFile
chmod 0644 $file
done
echo "Permissions set" >> $logFile
Which is different than the OP. I'm confused.

I notice that before... but got side tracked and forgot to mention something... I just pulled the one from in Bi-Winning V2 and have been ADB Push'ing that.
EDIT: Also noticed that the one that's in Dan_Brutal "Metrik Part 1- Pepperkake" is the wrong one.

Does this works on hd2 android? i really need this..

Should work on any Android that can run scripts

i flashed and its working.. no more changing permission after run fix_permissins on terminal emulator..

Hey Roman, thanks for yet another improvement for this phone!
Simple question: can I just download and push the S30edt_perms.zip to etc/int.d? And is this any good for CM7 based ROMs? I just checked and that file isn't in my init.d folder on Trigger Redux.
Thanks!

Help,attach file is logcat information.

refer to GUID(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125196) to add recovery menu item.
1.Update framework-res.apk to device.device status is ok(reboot and device can normal go into os).
2.use dexopt-wrapper reodex ,get android.policy.odex
3.copy android.policy.odex to /system/framework/android.policy.odex and set 644 permissions
4.reboot device and stay at samsung logo frame
5.attach file is logcat information.The log file alway display "DexOpt: Some deps went away"

1) Apps load faster
2) Apps work better
3) Decreased boot time ;P
HOW TO INSTALL?
1) Download the zip file
2) Flash it

So things like updates, will it replace the odex file? Or delete it?

I believe it keeps it, not sure though.
But if you run my script, it deletes the odex. Then remakes it.

I don't think so, you don't need to run it every time it app updates
I recommend to run the command every 2 weeks - a month
