This is an app you can run from your rooted phone to odex your framework and system apps (has option to also odex data/app but its not recommended). The app will automatically remove classes.dex from each apk as well. I've tested this on shift deck and cm7 ROMs also works on og evo. There's no test on the app so if you run it and you're already odex or not on a compatible ROM or whatnot; its still going to run..
Make sure you have a fresh nand before using, just in case.
Recommended usage: Press button "Odex System Framework". Let it do its thing then press "Odex System Apps" (be patient, takes several minutes to complete). While running, don't interrupt it.
Other option "Odex Framework + System Apps" works fine as well but not as safe as running separately.
"Odex Data Apps" isn't recommended, its an option I put in but I don't even use.
Always remember, you must odex framework before system/apps!
Big thanks to Dodgejcr for help with the script.
Download: Odexer version 1.0

Sounds very interesting I'm looking forward to this app.

Odex roms have a larger size but better performance as the odex file is its own entity and "pre-loads" data for the app. In deodex its smaller but the app has to call on the classes dex file in the apk file. Odex roms also create little to none dalvik cache. Deodex rom are "in general" easier to theme...

turkbot, Here is a paragraph I wrote on a dodexing wiki that I wrote explaining the difference and process of deodexing, odexing is pretty much the exact opposite but you can get a good idea of the difference between the two.
Deodexing is the act of removing .odex files from the phone. These files are extensions of the android APK (application packages) files and JAR (code packages that make up most of the android GUI) files located in the system. You can find the .odex files in /system/app/ and /system/framework/. The process of deodexing is done by decompiling the .odex files and recompiling them into a .dex format and placing them inside of the corresponding apk or jar. The purpose of deodexing is to make edits to the JARs or APKs. Most of the code for the files are inside of the .odex, which can not be recompiled once they have been decompiled with out deodexing them. This allows us to theme and add extra features that involve edits to the .smali files (similar to .class files containing java code) inside of the .odex. Deodexing does take up more storage space on the phone and does slow the phone down, although the speed decrease is hardly noticeable and is easily matched by a custom kernel with slight improvements. http://wiki.sdx-developers.com/index.php/How_to_deodex_a_ROM

I posted this on the Evo 4g thread, but figured it might be seen first here since this is where it was originally posted.
Good job man. Previously I've accomplished this with bash scripts. I'd like to see where this goes. Like option to search for bootclasspath and automatically use the it, instead of having a dedicated one (which limits the app). Good job
Edit. If you are interested, I can make this work on Sense.
Edit 2. Man. This has me really intrigued now I looked through the app. One more thing that needs to be implemented is the removal of classes.dex. Once Odexed, you don't need classes.dex. It simply takes up space.

Actually classes.dex is automatically removed. Also, I'm planning on adding the option to select an apk to odex and thinking about finding the bootclasspath maybe by looking in init.rc but that's a thought.

Desire
Hey.. Recently read about this and I have to say. I'm really facinated..
The only problem is, that I own a Desire GSM but would really like to use this for my Oxygen 2.3.2 rom installed..
So my question is if you even could tell me what I could do to run it on my Desire or if you are thinking about releasing it for other phones...
I use Oxygenr2 hboot with 100/5/332
I gues I have to change it before 'cause oxygen rom needs 96 MB i guess...
thanks in advance

I really want a rooted stock ROM (CM, Enom, TheOfficial, etc.) but I love the camera & music apps from the Desire ROMs. I've been trying all day to get them working on CM, but have failed epically. Anyone wanna throw in some help on this?
What I've Tried (& Failed):
Copy the right libs from the Desire ROM to the stock one. Used the list of libs we needed to port the music/camera apps from the old Hero builds to the stock G1 ROMs.
Ideas:
Something with Smali/Baksmali.
+1 For this, as the Camera on desire IS AMAZING! Seriously, much better then the original. Same with the music app, as it actually reads id3 tags correctly.
Is there any way to get there widgets to because there a lot better then stock

I would ask Stericson to weigh in. He was the one that got the HTC music app from the Hero ported to 1.6. Maybe he can offer you some insight.

This request has been asked for already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=638106&highlight=camera
I can't find the posts at the moment, but I believe there was discussion about this pulling the HTC Camera app out alone, but that it was so integrated into the core components that doing so would be a MAJOR undertaking (for not just pulling out all the necessary pieces, but also having to put patches in for those pieces on whatever ROM you do use).
I'm in the same boat, the Desire Camera is far superior to the stock camera and would LOVE so it as its' own app (or ported to CM5 ROM).
If someone would compile ldd, then you could easily run it against the camera app to find all the library dependencies. Then lump all the libs into their own dir (so as to not overwrite stock libs), then launch the camera app from a shell script where you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/desire/libs and it should run. It may consume 100 megs, but it would run
Its possible, but you need to use baksmali and smali to find out what the app needs to run....its possible...but not easy...
/joins the seemingly cult following
+9000 for this idea.
Tunewiki is the best music app in my oppinion, but I wouldn't mind the camera app.
+8000 from me
I don't mind the stock camera, but I do prefer the HTC Music app. So I would love to see this.
On a down note, I recently read something over at MoDaCo that Paul had written about porting Desire to the N1. Most, if not all, of the issues he is having are caused by Sense calling upon many additions to the kernel, which is heavily modified and therefore very different from the vanilla kernels floating around.
He mentioned the camera app using certain things in or created by the Desires kernel, which is why I highly doubt we will be porting the apps any time soon.
oh yes, i would LOVE the desire camera app!
i had the same idea
i spent all the afternoon trying to install the HTCCamera.apk, plus the according libs, but it looks that something is lacking in the kernel or in the framework (i also injected all the htc relative jars in the /system/framework unsuccessfully)
I Hate sense, but it would really be nice to have the camera,the music, and also the contacts widgets.
Maybe we can try the reverse : use the modaco rom and patch it with cyanogen's kernel.
The only thing why i don't use modaco alpha rom is :
1 - i hate sense (really )
2 - i need a lot of memory and i miss the 2nd bank patch

Not quite how it works on Android - Java, man, Java
What i ended up doing in this scenario is just running the MoDaCo custom rom, but disabling and deleting Rosie and its widgets, along with the other apps like footprints which i never use. It runs the stock Launcher2 for home, but i still have the Desire's contacts, camera, music etc.
From what i hear, you can still install some of the stock .apks to replace ones you dont like from desire (like stock Mms.apk rather than the one that ships in Rosie roms)
Works for my needs (or desires anyway... no pun intended.)
Give it a whirl by going into your apps list, selecting rosie, then clearing defaults. When you press home next it'll ask you if you wanna use home or Rosie, with an option to make it default. Could be close enough to what people are looking for, and in any event its far easier to mod Desire to be more stock than vice versa. Most of these are even available as options in the kitchen as well.
EDIT - you'll need to pull the launcher2.apk from an earlier build, as it appears it isnt included in alpha 17 onward...

[MOD][Live Wallpaper Pack] StockModv2 - Water, Nexus, Galaxy, Ocean Waves - 8/21 UPDATE!
THESE WILL REPLACE YOUR STOCK LIVE WALLPAPERS!!!
To install download the zip and flash through Clockwork Recovery!
The wallpapers retain the same name as their originals but I have changed the icons for them.
To select the wallpapers long press an empty spot on your home screen or press Menu < Wallpapers < Live Wallpapers
and select from:
Water
Nexus
Galaxy
Ocean Waves
Rather then explain how i modified each one, Ill let you look at the screenshots instead, and i might do a video demo. These live wallpapers might be able to be flashed on to any android 2.1+ capable device with live wallpaper support using clockwork recovery but this has only been tested on the Vibrant.
DOWNLOAD: HERE!
*NOTE* if any dev could show me how to make these into standalone installable apks rather than a flashable zip, id really appreciate i!

well i dont think itd work because i didnt sign it, and it was originally a system app, you can feel free to try and let me know though. I'll try to see if i can make an installable version.
I am currently working on another release. So far I have modified the Ocean Waves wallpaper to look like the ocean waves under the moon night, and I made the galaxy wallpaper take on a more "Galaxy S" color pallette. I plan on doing the nexus wallpaper next and i might have a release by the end of the weekend hopefully. I still dont know how to make them installable apps though so we are going to have to rely on replacing the stock wallpapers till then. if anyone wants to help me out, feel free to shoot me a pm.
Thanks!

Can you upload and post a link to the apk you made?
Or can the OP offer any suggestions as to why this might not be working on my phone? I'm running the Vibrant6 with a lagfix. It installs both apps, but in application manager it says they are both 0.00 bytes, and they don't show up in live wallpapers at all.

Did you flash through clockwork recovery? Hmm actually I think it's because I used the lwp from the stock rom, and I just remember it's odexed. I'll put up a deodexed version tonight hopefully. If anyone wants to help me make this an installable apk I'd really appreciate it
metamorph
I used this theme as training for metamorphing. Everything is the same as in the OP's version, but I removed the unnecessary files of cours, hence a slightly smaller size.
In regards to uploading the modified NexusMod apk, I would have to say no, since it's not a free app. Unless Chris gave me permission. I would be happy to give a brief tutorial though.
Thank you. And I didn't know about the Nexus mod being paid...I thought I downloaded it for free once. I guess they have two versions on the market, and I just don't remember seeing the other. Thanks though for the metamorph.
Although if you don't mind, I would like to know how you squeeze parts into an already made app. Will that allow me to use the different colored particles from Nexus mod on this background?
Return to stock. No more Verizon Navigation. You do need Google maps / navigation installed.
Ripped from Mesmerize, de-odexed.
Before adding this to your device, make sure you've renamed /system/app/CarHome.apk and CarHome.odex (or move them, etc..)
Then just add the new .apk to /system/app. I use adb to push, but as long as you get the file there in /system/app it should be fine. You do not install this .apk, just copy it.
Code:
adb push CarHome.apk /system/app
All done.
If you see any FC, just reboot. Post up with any issues.

You are rooted, right? I'm guessing you may not have CWM installed? You should have no trouble pushing the file via adb with CWM installed. CWM changes the way the adb daemon runs on the device.
Might try renaming the original CarHome.apk and CarHome.odex to CarHome.apk.old and CarHome.odex.old, then moving the file I posted to /system/app. Don't install it (it probably won't install anyway), just put it in /system/app.
Could you install the apk file using App Installer from the market?

Hmm, noticed something funky with this. When you hit the navigation function, it asks you to choose Google Navigation or Your Navigator, and if you choose the second option, it will hang and force close. I think I'm going back to the Car Home app ripped from the Vibrant, as it instantly launches Google Navigation with giving you a useless menu prompt.

I've noticed that too, not sure why it's doing that... Obviously you choose 'Google Navigation', but if the extra touch to do so is a deal-breaker, definitely use some other launcher. I'll see if I can find out where that's coming from and get rid of it.
Besides that quirk, the only differences between that one and the Vibrant version are slightly different icons and icon placement, so not a big deal.

Just rename your existing .apk and .odex to .old or whatever you prefer, then just push. You may need to reboot afterward.
This was from the Mesmerize, so the "odexed" version would just be ripping this from the system dump and copying it over.. not sure if that would work, I didn't try it out. Makes sense to me that it would, but you know how picky these things are.

Then you are gonna need to learn to edit .9.png and how to decompile and recompile the apks so you can see the xmls. search for apk manager and start their. The text for the buttons is in an xml not a image. Still not sure what those are for myself lol. Here is a screen shot of what I have been able to pull off so far.

Just a word to the wise. Never flash anything that was not built for your device. This is an LG zip file not an HTC

Sadly I do not know how to theme yet, so if anyone wants to give it a try please do and post here!
I attached the APK so enjoy!
Theme Orange/Blue by samvillian.

How did you install it? I'm on UnNamed, I uninstalled the themed version, and I get nothing but Force Closes with this Swype.

I backed up then uninstalled by Titanium Backup, and used the installer without a hitch.
Running UnNamed 1.3.2 though, not sure if the newer versions may be the reason why its not working properly.
Cool. Must be the fingerprint with the new UnNamed.
And how do you find the voice accuracy? Is it better? Just curious...

If I say yes now its just a placebo effect in my head.
Have to do some testing with it for a few days and see if its noticeably different or the same.
Saw this in the UnNamed thread, might want to give it a try.

Tried installing the beta, tells me it's unavailable for devices that have swype preinstalled...
Any thoughts on how to get around that?
Edit: Nevermind. Uninstalled it via titanium, mounted the system partition, removed /system/lib/libSwype(version number).so and then all was well.

I guess that seems to be the way to do it. I'll give it a try over the weekend when I get a chance to mess around with my phone
EDIT
so, installed perfectly using instructions from post #5. I don't really know what's the difference between uninstalling via Titanium vs. adb removing, but it worked with the Titanium method, and not with adb.
Thanks for the tip on using titanium to backup/uninstall, works for rooted stock as well

I've been using it for about two days now and with the exception of an beta-ish incident I had with it (it stopped working after my first reboot if the phone and I had to reinstall it), I can confidently say that this update makes Swype much, much better. Swype always used to piss me off within the day for the simplest of reasons, but with all the new gestures, dictionary options and (finally) contextual typing, it's hard to put this one down. And it should be mentioned that I'm a huge keyboard junkie, if that exists. I have pro versions for most of the keyboards on the market and constantly switch between them because they generally all disappoint me in one way or another.
The voice recognition is naturally better now that the company has been acquired by Nuance, but it isn't quite up to the accuracy of choice dictation on the iPhone 4s, for whatever reason. Is it better than what it used to be on Swype/Android? Hell yes. In addition, this can do languages other than English, something I found particularly amazing.
All in all, I like it.

The speech recognition still sucks.

I have no idea, but I know it auto updates (maybe not if you remove the installer) so not sure if it will break the theme or not when it does update.
Really missing how it looked on UnNamed.
Going to change the thread title and put a request for a theme.
If someone can provide the apk i can try and take a swing at theming it. Shouldn't be too difficult

I added it to the OP.

Actually just had a look at the new apk... it's completely different so I don't think it'd be possible to just transfer it over from the old one.
I can try and do it manually... we'll see how it turns out.
Good luck, after the holidays i'm going to read up on theming.
I tried doing it myself to change the stock SMS but couldn't get it working ended up using goSMS lol.

I just did a proof of concept, just to see if it works... It's really simple actually!!!!
I did orange and blue (Denver Broncos colors) if you guys want it, just install it like normal.
Here is how to do it:
You take that .apk file thats in the OP, make a few copies of it just incase...
Then you get 7zip, open it up with 7zip... copy all the files in "assets/keyboard" to a new folder on your computer.
The files you need to edit are preceded by "display0_" since we have wvga screens.
The way I did it was open it up in photoshop (the images, that is) and edit the file and save it.
The files I editted were:
background
caps
capsbutton
funcbutton
numbutton
selbutton
textbutton
AFTER EDITTING!!
This is where it gets tricky...
You open that original .apk with the 7zip proggy and you transfer all those images back into it, in the proper folder.
Now you need to sign it using apkmanager or whatever you may want. Open it up in apkmanager, and sign it (using the batch signing folder thing option choice thing).
DONE!
Oops guess my message by xda app didn't go through.
The theme did work perfectly, good job!
Would It be too much to ask for a dark-themed swype like on ICScrewD or unNamed?
Then I can finally update swype

I second this!!
But I am going to try myself with the instructions of samvillian.
Just haven't had time, hopefully this weekend I can start practicing on theming.

I've got most of swype done. Issues im running into is apktool is unable to decompile or recompile a working product. Assume because of the updated version. Ill keep pressing.
