I've tried deodexing using dsixda kitchen but I get errors and it never finishes. Not sure if I should convert udpater script to update script first or what! I only want a couple of files deodexed. Can someone please give me a quick and dirty little guide. I have smali/baksmali tools already or do I use something else? I've searched the forums but a lot of confusing methods is all I'm finding. Please point me in the right direction..thanks guys!

Are you using the stock Sprint ROM? I did and had no issues using dsixda kitchen.
What files is it having issues with?

No, not Stock Rom. It is having problems with framework files. It was 3 files, I'll have to fire up the Linux Box and try again to tell you what files exactly. I have not updated kitchen since I got the 3D, perhaps that's where I should start?

Helllo everybody
Can anybody tell me (or a link?) how I can de-odex the rootedupdate.zip version 1.21.405.2?
Thank u
http://code.google.com/p/smali/wiki/DeodexInstructions
how space does de-odexing save? if that is one of its benefit
I tried it with the auto deodexer from this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598026
The "De-odexing process" was successful. I de-odexed the /system/framework and the /system/app folder.
But if I replace the old /app and /framework with the de-odexed ones, my device doesn't startup.
Can anybody help me?
Flash the rom and then boot with logcat and search for the problem.

I'm having the same problem, do you solve it???
@ nickiberli : Download dsixda's kitchen and install it following his directions. It has all the tools you need to get started customizing ROMs. I believe your problem is that your .zip is not being signed which is another thing that his kitchen does for you.
@ ermacwins : Basically, (I'm not 100% on this explanation) "de-odexed" .apks are simply a .zip with a different extension. This allows further customization of the .apk. "odexed" .apks are split into two files, an ".apk" and an ."odex". The "odexed" .apk still contains the information that the "de-odexed" contains but is spread across the two files. To answer your question, I don't believe that a "de-odexed" rom saves you any more space than an "odexed" rom or vice versa.
@slavatore82 : Try the stuff I posted above. It should work for you. It's the method I've been using and it works great.

When you deodex your files try to set compression level less than default. Till to 0. After deodex first boot-up might take about 10-15 min.
Dont know if this is going to shine light to anyones perspective view, but it did too me.

I'm trying to deodex the latest MIUI v4 (ICS) so I can try to port it to my Rezound, but I can't even deodex the ROM, even through the latest kitchen. Any ideas?

you can use autodeo tool to do the majority of the odexes but you may need to manually baksmali things like Bluetooth and NetworkLocation as they have more bootclasspath dependencies.
Look for a thread entitled "how to manually deodex odex back" should help you no end. If you cant follow that you are in trouble lol.

What do you mean you can't deodex - what is the specific problem?
well with respect and regardless of the version of baksmali and smali used the kitchen in its present form will not deodex an ICS ROM for me either. So I take a different approach to achieving it.
I don't care if someone doesn't use the kitchen, I am retired and ICS doesn't work (ie. Class errors in smali/baksmali) half the time for me either... but, again, vague statements like "doesn't work" or "can't deodex" doesn't help a designer diagnose the problem.

Yes. I use that to cook my ROM. Have you looked at the official thread? There are plenty of instructions there.

I've used it before, just for deodexing and zipaligning. The other features are supposedly meant for HTC roms only. But for some reason I get errors with busybox symlinks and the way terminal is set up using the kitchen so I don't use it to cook my rom.

That's true. I only use that for the basic things and for packaging the whole thing into zip. As for busybox, I use busybox's --install option and it will generate all the symbolic links automatically.

I've been wanting to try the kitchen out to see if I can try deodexing and zipaligning etc on the stock touchwiz ROM I'm running.
Do you think it would work? (despite it being discontinued)
yes it works still, works on ics & jellybean (i use it myself to deodex and zipalign)

Yes dxixda kitchen works but you will need to add another file with gs3 parameters in the edify_defs folder with name m0..still the updater-script does not work . It gives me errors in the installing boot.img stage.. . Anyways you can use the kitchen to create your rom and then package your rom manually using updater-script and update-binary from some other working rom.. Then sign it..
If you or anyone finds a solution to that problem do let us know..

Deodexing will work just fine..no probs..some times you might get an error with one or two apps..just use the option to deodex a single app and you will be good to go..
:good:
Edit:
Most important change the api level to 16 before deodexing..
just make a copy of your zipped rom, drop it into the working folder, deodex the files you want to and then pull those files out of the working folder and drop them into the original rom zip folder (minus the original odexed files)
no need to change anything, no need to drop new files in or mess with update script
as you will use your existing update script/meta inf folder blah blah blah, it means you can say yes to the mods the kitchen wants to make as you will only be taking the deodexed files from there, nothing else
(does that make sense? - im guessing you will ignore this anyway like my previous post))

One of many things I lack and will probably always lack.
Sorry for dragging out an old thread but I thought I would have a go with this. I have the kitchen installed, I have put I9300XXDLI5_I9300OXADLI5_I9300XXDLI5_BTU.zip in the original_update and have the m0 file in tools/edify_defs
I then try and extract the ROM but I get an error Error: No system folder found!
How can I not even get started? I must be missing something basic here!

Can't I start with the ODIN file of the leaks? It must have a system image in it? Where do you start with this? I thought a whole flashable ROM would be ideal.

Extract the tar file and put the system.ext4.img and boot.img in the update folder.. Then Dxixda kitchen will recognize it..

Oh yeah, I forgot, the system.img must be coverted from yaffs img to an ext4 file. I believe the utility is called ext2fs (or something like it)
Dsixda's tool should provide that program anyhow.
Well I unzipped the ROM and untarred the md5 and then it at least got me started. I am now just working out what I can do and what I need to get. Thanks for your help.

You can't just put the zip file in original_update. Kitchen has to be configured for your device, or it will not work. I'd like to know how to do that as well.

OK then, if it isn't necessary to configure the kitchen for your device, then how can you make it work with your device? I am just a NOOB, let's make that perfectly clear. However, I followed the directions to the letter, and read up on the kitchen before trying it. I had no success using the kitchen to create a rom that I could successfully flash.
I thought that I would have to do something with the edify defs files first, adding my device before it would work. I just never got that far yet (I only play with this part time, when I have a chance to do so.) If I don't have to add my device, and you have some idea what I may have done wrong, please enlighten me. I obviously need the help. Thanks!

You put any custom ROM for your device in there, configure it for that file (meaning that show it the file you're working on), replace it's system folder with the stock deodexed system folder.
Now, you're ready. Do your modifications. Add features. Build. Zip
Now, the important part.
Kitchen updater-script doesn't work on our device in some case. Use any custom ROM updater-script (with permission and credit), and voila!
There is a complete guide on it in Development section too.

I have tried the kitchen with my phone before, (LG Spectrum/VS920), and the ROMS generated by it will not work. It has something to do with the "edify defs" file I believe. I read it somewhere before in these forums. If your device isn't supported, it has to be added, or at least that's what I've come to understand. If someone can point me in the right directrion (adding my phone so it is supported by the kitchen), I'd appreciate it greatly.
