Hi there.
Could somebody explain to me generally why de-odexed files tend to be more popular and , i suppose what odexing is and why its performed by OEM.
Best Regards

Hi
Can anyone explain me the diffenrence between a stock rom and a cooked rom?
Is the cooked better or faster?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
Q: How do Stock ROMS differ from Cooked ROMS?
A: Stock Roms usually have extra 'bloatware' added which take up extra space on the phone. Custom Roms are stripped down to provide more space and most are tweaked to provide a faster more stable Operating System. Every chef is different so you have to look around the forums to see which Rom is best for your needs.
I am currently playing around with customizing my own rom for personal use based of the plain de-odexed rom. I have added various packages like:
Camera mod
oc4 1.2 jac kernal
mobileAP
some custom themes and fonts
swype with voice icon
GPS files from leak
ect
My question is with all the main roms (eugene and Bionix) released there are always references to "Build.prop mods for better data throughput", how can I take JUST THOSE CHANGES and port them into my rom. Is it as simple as using abd pull and push with certain files? Do I need someone to make me a flashable zip package?
Also I noticed eugene in his latest build used a different camera and would love to try that is that just as simple as adb pull and pushing the camera apk?
Any help provided would be truly appreciated I am still kinda a noob.
Also just to be EXTREMELY clear this is only for my personal use and basic knowledge. I wish to take nothing away form the absolutely stellar work these guys do everyday, I simply have some different preferences then the main roms created and would love to learn to take the advantages of each rom and customize them to my own needs.
No one can help me out?
Should I ask in dev section as no one here seems to have any ideas?
I'm in same boat
I am doing the same.i noticed in bionix build.prop the symlinks. I like that.but he also references a "jit" did they port a jit? that would rock
SO, what does deodexed and oxodized or dexed and all those other 'xed' words mean when it comes to roms?
First android phone, and I rooted the adb way(super proud of myself, was waiting for a one-click root) and was wondering can anyone offer any ROMS good on battery, but look clean and un-themed?
And what are kernals?
Deodexed means you can theme it and replace specific components. The ROM is kinda "broken down" in very crude terms. Some say that a deodexed ROM doesn't run quite as fast as non deodexed, but its barely any difference IMO.
Hi,
I have flashed about 30 different ROMs to my SGS2 and I can't seem to find the perfect one. There's loads of different features of different ROMs that I like and I just wanna combine all my favorite features into my perfect ROM. I was just wondering how hard it is to create one and if I need special software and if there is a tutorial out there?
Thanks,
Yogi
If you don't like any of the roms posted grab the base one from the rom kitchen and add onto it a kernel and theme that you prefer.
Doesn't seem to be working

Well mate, if you keep flashing in that rate then after one year the number will be hundred and yet you won't find the one you need. Why not stick with a simple stock ROM? I mean seriously why ultimately we run (not me) for a Custom ROM? For some gimmicks, other than that what we get?
Anyway, if you still wanna flash another then do as the above user said, Kitchen ROM's are more or less good IMO.
You are already getting mad about ROMs, time to enjoy the device.....
Instead of thingking building your own ROM, why not first learn the tricks of modding... have your best Base then mod it with themes, scripts, kernels, moded apks, and etc, its a lot easier IMO...
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.
