Odex is how stock firmware ships
Deodex is the same thing with no ".odex" files, this makes you able to use modified system files, so it allows you to use themes
Odex files are basically cache files that make your phone load faster for the first time, but if there are no odex files Android creates a replacement for them so there is no lost performance
This is not exclusive to Xperia, many devices have these files

This is mod for ODEXED ICS based ROMs. When using the Dsxida's kitchen, there was a slight problem. so I made some modifications to AutoDEOTool
Manually Deodexing :
to decompil an odex file you needs the BOOTCLASSPATH..
It is a list in specific order of some framework .jar files..
It is different in function of the APKs
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run AutoDEOToolMain.bat
1.Place the JARs and corresponding ODEX files in the directory "_framework".
Otherwise, place deodexed framework JARs into the directory "deodexed_JAR".
2.Place the APKs and corresponding ODEX files in the directory "_app".
3. To deodex framework files
-For non standard odex however a specific bootclass path must be defined..
-select to 6
place the bootclass path for framework
Code:
core.jar:core-junit.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:widget.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:apache-xml.jar:HTCDev.jar:HTCExtension.jar:com.htc.framework.jar:filterfw.jar:com.htc.android.bluetooth.jar:com.htc.fusion.fx.jar:wimax.jar:com.orange.authentication.simcard.jar:com.htc.android.rosie.jar
4.To deodex APKs files for at&t vivid
-select to 4
place the bootclass path for APKs files

This manual was written in order to develop more easy deodexed rom..
if you want to getting the pure deodexed ROM, You need to have a separate build process..
So i would need to re build my entire rom?

Maybe It will be.. This manual is written for people who want to build custom Rom..
I tried pushing the files back to the phone and it caused alot of problems so im guessing that i would have to learn how to build roms then. lol
I wish someone would just deodex the stock ics. I know wildchild has a deo version but its also stripped of a lot of the stock goodies the Rom comes with

I'm working on getting a stock, rooted de-odexed ROM up tonight if I can.
EDIT: Uploading now. I'll be starting a new thread. Also, I don't want to take anything away from bananacakes here. His tutorial is very good and if you plan on building anything ROM-related, you should get familiar with the process.

Thanks its working! One question though. If I deodex all the system/app files can I then transfer all the deodexed files to my current install and just reboot to be deodexed?
No you'll have to delete your system/app folder on your phone

you need to put the .apk in system/app mounting system (using root explorer e.g.) and setting the correct permissions in both apps and then reboot your device
sorry but it did not work
anybody?
Try deodexing the whole rom from which the keyboard came from and then copy the apk

Did you build a Custom Rom with a kitchen and installed this?
Or did you deodex only single apps from system and framework and push it onto a stock Rom?
Please tell us what you exactly did, maybe then it gets clear what you did (and what you wanted to do).
I used tools from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 for deodex app
i only deodex system/app and system/framework.then I make .zip for flashable onto stock rom.
how to deodex app for galaxy note?
why setting app is missing?
could you guide me?
i come from optimus black/xperia v/optimus 4xhd user.
ps. I use stock rom of thailand
Use the kitchen for making a complete Rom. Not only some tools for deodexing some apk. Your approach won't work.

Easiest way is to cut all the apks from preload and paste to system/app then do you deodexing. Settings apk is located in preload on stock roms so thats why its missing for you. If you keep it in preload you need symlinks in system/app so that the system can find the apk
I already sy link all apk in preloaded

What is the main difference?

In short the odexed firmware is faster and supposedly more secure (usually a stock build). A deodexed one gives more modification, themeable, and found in most custom roms.
In terms of user experience deodexed ROMs are only slower on first boot, after which they are or seem the same speed as the former odexed version/source.

It means that any apps in /system have an accompanying .odex file which includes integrity information about its corresponding package. This prevents these packages from being modified, which theoretically means that a factory reset/uninstallation of updates should always yield a known working app. Since themes and many customizations work by modifying the apks in /system, they'll fail the check against the corresponding .odex file and cause problems.
