Hi guys,
I have tried to use like all the themes posted in this O1 forum from sense,honeycomb ,darksky ,Gb, Galaxy and all others(many thanx to the ppl who made them) on a stock Deodexed ROm (LIght ANDROID somebody posted not kpbotbot's one) ..I dont know how to edit framework files..SO i simple copy the files to /system/framework ,and most of the times either FCs happen or market and other gapps dont work or the UI reloads again and again ....Any tips on how to fix this ????
Anyone have a deodexed framework.jar file (from ICS firmware)?
I know that lot's of people are having problems deodexing framework files, but I just need this one to a small mod, and I can't do it with framework.jar odexed...
How to deodex the framwork and apps? I am using dsixda's kitchen i keep getting error please help me out. And no i am not making a custom rom i just weant to deodex my system files because i want to keep a clean system and customize it to my liking. I know there are roms but i want my own without anyone's name on the rom thanks..
In the ROM's section there are really many many ROM's being released each day, most start as a personal work but then gets published, etc etc, but from what I see, 98% of them are DeOdexed (for now I remember find one Odexed rom for SGS3).
I know the difference between Odex/DeOdex:
- DeOdex: makes apk files easier for modifying and theming.
- Odex (Optimized Dex) are better for memory usage and speed (Hence optimized).
so why do most devs choose to deodex?
I read on a dev blogs sometime ago, that ROM developers should Re-Odex before releasing the ROM, what this is not the case in most ROMs
All devs release ROMs, and start talking about performance and memory usage, optimized etc etc, but leave it DeOdexed, so why not Odex.
(I made my own ROM, based on ELL5, with the few mods i always use, and kept it odexed, and it is working just fine. No immediate plans on releasing it.)
I guess it is because most apks that are modded are fairly easy to get hands on when it is deodexed. For short, everything is easier when deodexed
Most of my users want to change stuff after installing the inital rom. It makes it a lot easier for me if it's deodexed too because I will not get requests to deodex it!
I have been considering odexing the ROM, though, and making it final. I'm undecided.
but in odexed rom's, use can still use some deodexed APKs....
In the stock Samsung roms, in the /system/apps folder there is a bunch on normal apk files without the odex, so in case somebody needs to theme a few system apps, it should be possible, no?
In my ROM, which is based on stock ELL5 odexed Samsung rom, I installed JKay and I have a lot of possibility of theming, which is working just fine.
I also modified a couple of user apps, which has nothing to do with odexing a rom on system level, so... still don't understand why all prefer deodexed..
It's not necessary to deodex all apps. You can deodex only critical apps, to be able to mod them. And surely the right way would be to odex before releasing.
I am currently working on a rom for the Galaxy Note 2. I ran into a problem and thought that I might find some help here, I have created a themed framework-res.apk however when I combine it into the rom zip file and flash it it does not boot. For it to boot I need to first flash the rom (without the themed framework), boot, then flash the themed framework. The themed framework-res is from a different base of the rom so it might be the cause of this. I can redo the theming on the original framework from the rom but I made a lot of xml changes and would not like to redo those. Is there a way I can combine it into the rom zip file and make it work ?
Thanks
Edit : Managed to solve by moving the xml and png files to the original framework from the rom
