Odexed can be themed just as well. I feel odexed is better and runs quicker because their is no dalvic cache. I don't know why people say odexed can't be themed its just a step or two more. Just check the odexed roms threads and you'll see just as many themes as in deodexed roms.

you can either take a deodexed apk and mod it to your liking and then odex it, or deodex and odexed apk, mod it and then re-odex it, using smali/baksmali
Bump for more opinions. How would one test the performance between the two

I'd say at least test to see if it works for you. If it doesn't well see what we can do. It may just need to be repackaged in the newest SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk.
Yea those are it but that thread is outdated. They only work on supra version 2.3.3 and viper rc1. He's on 2.1 now LOL
There a way were they can be flashable to any ROM and not just a rom in particular

Yes and no. There are a lot of mods out there that seem to be ROM specific. I can add the files to the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk of a stock deodexed ROM and make a flashable out of that. It'll at least be something more up to date.

any ROM with tweaks needs specific fr-res.apk and sysUI.apk from that ROM, so no, universal cannot be done.

I can put something together this evening. I've already got the icons out, I just need to download the ROM and add the icons to the apks. I'm at work and data sucks. It takes like 2 hours to download a ROM. So I'll do it when I get home. Unless someone beats me to it.
After looking in the Olympus apks, do you want to match the theme and make stat bars and battery red? Or do you want to keep them green? I can make the standard green version into a flashable and a red version too if you like.

Earlier you said something about roms with tweaks need them built differently or something right? Olympus ROM is the only ROM I know of that does not have tweaks so I hope that makes it easier for you in case you didn't know

..I heared odex roms are a bit faster.
I you want to theme/mod the warm rom yourself to your needs, you should take teh deodexed one.
Deodexed.
Odexed is faster on first boot, not subsequent boots.
You can also use Titanium Backup (pro) to odex your system apps at any time.
This saves on dalvik-cache usage.
It seems most of the mods popping up for EVO LTE require a deodexed ROM. Is this the way it is going to go? I know little of the differences. I'm running pure rooted stock. That is ODEX, correct?
I would need to flash the pure stock Deodex to use the mods I'm seeing.
Thanks beforehand for your answers!
What mods are u trying to run? The apple function and google wallet fix only require u do a build.prop edit.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
Yes. Stock is odex. ROMs that are odex tend to have apps on hand ready to load faster, as the odex for the apk keeps a bit of the app preloaded and ready to open. But deodex is much easier to mod and theme.
At least, this is my understanding from the last few years of reading. Some prefer odex. I do not. Deodex makes it easier to mod /system on the fly.

can you mix and match? I believe you can.
I'm running stock odex rom but I copied over the modded deodex camera.apk. deleted the camera.odex of course.

Does not work on all roms. Flashed on xHausx's rooted odexed and that's a no go.

Has to be deodexed. Or you would have to place an odex file with the apk
This version I made will only alter the classes.dex because it uses a special patch, so it leaves all other parts of the SystemUI.apk intact.
Here you guys go: Download
Also I should mention that it only works on deodexed roms.
Hey guys, I thought I would share this MOD with everyone here on the AT&T forum. I came over to AT&T from Verizon and I had the S4 while I was there. Anyhow, there was a ROM named Hyperdrive and the TW launcher performance was unmatched.
A big thanks to @sbreen94 who is the Verizon dev who hacked this launcher for his ROM, Hyperdrive. I received full permission from him to post this MOD.
This is the stock TW 4x4 launcher (with infinite scroll) which he hacked for insane speed, and it's very noticeable. Just try it and you will agree. This should work on any TW ROM. I have used it on AT&T, International and T-Mobile based ROM's that I've flashed since I've been on AT&T with no problems at all. Be sure to go over to sbreen94's Hyperdrive ROM thread to thank him if you like this.
This hacked launcher is based on Android 4.2.2 JB TW I545VRUAMDK, Verizon S4 firmware. Please note that after you do this, some widgets may disappear. You will have to simply re-add them.
**UPDATE 8-14** I have added the AT&T hacked launcher based on MF3 which was hacked by sbreen94 to #1 of install instructions.
Install Instructions:
1. Download THIS (or THIS which is the AT&T hacked launcher based on MF3)
2. Make a Nandroid backup just in case you bork something during this process
3. Use Root Explorer or your favorite root file explorer and navigate to ROOT>system>app and find SecLauncher3.apk (depending on the ROM, it can also be named Launcher.apk, etc)
4. To be safe, rename SecLauncher3.apk to SecLauncher3.apk.bak (that will essentially kill the file, but make it revivable by removing .bak from the file name if anything goes wrong or if you want to go back to the former launcher)
5. Move or copy over the hacked SecLauncher3.apk that you downloaded from step #1 into your ROOT>system>app folder
6. Change permissions of the hacked SecLauncher3.apk that you downloaded from step #1 to rw-r--r--
7. Reboot & profit
**DISCLAIMER** Neither sbreen94 or I are responsible for any damage that you cause to your phone during this process or if your dog eats your phone and makes it irreplacable.
Enjoy! :good:
Awesome! I've got Hyperdrive on my Note 10.1. This hack is really nice! D/l-ing now!

No problem man, lol. I would recommend renaming and adding .bak to your current SecLauncher3.apk just in case you want to go back. But I don't see why you would want to! :good:
