Hi again. I was wondering how would i deodex the stock 4.1.2 samsung rom in S3? I would like to deodex it by myself because i like the samsung goodies it has, BUT i would also like to change themes using XthemeEngine so i tried one theme called "Blacked Out" but it just changed the notification icons and nothing else, i just made a try but i know that in this state is impossible, so i searched how to deodex stock roms, and i've found this:
http://technologic101.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/tutorial-how-to-deodex-a-stock-android-rom/
After following the basics steps, i get stuck on 3) : i won't deodex any app even if i remove several .odex files from /oirigi_app, but it's always the same. So, i guess i need a proper method for the GT-i9300, any ideas?
If it were by me...i would just install an already deodexed custom rom...but the last time i tried, i had problems with connectivity, i think it was because the default modems weren't compatible with my region, right? So unless i know how to install the proper modem i won't install any custom rom yet. (However..., when i tried Siyah Kernel Dual Boot option for the first time with UltimaRom, it worked fine and i could connect even to Mobile Data from my operator, but if i try to install UltimaRom as my main rom, it would refuse to connect...)
I hope there will be luck, thanks in advance!

Is it possible to add features to a stock rom rather than changing to a new rom (which always seem buggy) eg.
The camera hack improve video ( in omega rom)
And is it possible to add themes, icon pictures etc without using a launcher or changing rom?

Yes if its a custom stock rom just open with win rar or similar then delete /add
Other wise root and es file explorer delete /and add.

So it can only be done with a custom rom then.
Are there any custom stock rom that are not buggy. I seem to always read about people having problems with even custom stock roms. Not being able to restore apps with titanium. Back up etc
No he means that with a custom rom you can (but are not limited to) add/edit the files in the archive before flashing it.
This would/should work for Odin Flashes of stock Rom's too.
However, as described you don't need this procedure on stock, you can add/edit the installed apps through a tool such as Root Explorer.
Note that most features of a given Samsung-based custom Rom are not developed by the Rom-Developers but by a 3. party which often provides CWM-flashable versions of their modifications.
Most people that have issues with custom roms attempt e.g. to transfer system apps including the data which often fails.
What if it says you have to be deodexed.? Are there any guides?
Plenty of guides you need to use Google search and read up on customizing Android .
Some in Android forum XDA and SGS2 forum XDA .
Custom rom is just easy .Stock rom far more involved and better to use one of the deodexed stock roms posted that are not customized further .
Yes custom roms especially on month 1 build can be buggy but usually settle down by build 30 .

hey guys, this may be getting into the realm of a "stupid question" but I'm wondering if there's any way to get the samsung dive service working on a custom rom. I know the few roms that I tried that were based on touchwiz already had it activated and working. What I'm thinking about is the other AOSP based roms that are almost plain jane jelly bean (4.1.1 or 4.1.2).
is there an apk or some update.zip I can install and get that option back, not that I really ever used it but still, it would be nice

Also looking for. Just updated my S2 to JB 4.1.2 and Samsungdive is gone
In order for non-stock ROMs to work with Samsungdive (which I am very found of, BTW), there are 2 requirements:
1) It must be based on a stock ROM
2) the samsung framework must be kept in the ROM along with a few other samsung components that make the link between the device and the SamsungDive servers
Unfortunatly SamsungDive is heavily dependant on the Samsung framework, so if either one of the above is not true, it isn`t gonna work.
Forget about using it on AOSP, AOKP, MIUI, etc, because they don`t have the Samsung Framework (obviously).
Too much of a noob to post to the forum where I want to but still...
I am running Omega V33.2 with Siyah kernel1.7
I was able to install Kalagas ICS like theme without problem but the Kalagas dialler didn´t work.
However, the dialler and circle battery theme both installed fine on my second ROM. The strange thing is, that my second ROM was a clone of the first ROM. So, after I confirmed that they still wouldn´t work on the first ROM, I cloned it again, installed the themes on the second ROM and then swapped them over. This all worked fine.
To me this suggests that there is a difference in the second ROM that Siyah creates and I thought it could be rather important to know what that is.
Does anyone have any ideas?
my first post, please don't flame (too hard).
I've helped others with GPS and Play store glitch after jelly bean update, and now looking for some help.
My wife has an S2 i777 and did SIM unlock to use with T-MO.
It's GB 2.3.6. The PDA is i777 UCKK6.
I'm looking for RTL with Arabic language support. I've done weeks of reading and I found this nice thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292841 But that ONLY supports UCKH7
This phone is not rooted.
Looking for noob instructions for RTL arabic support.
Thanks in advance.
1. Upgrade to ICS and you should have proper Arabic support sans keyboard - AFAIK Hebrew/Arabic/all RTL language support was first introduced on ICS. When on ICS, download any Arabic keyboard from Play Store and you should be good to go.
2. Or move to deodexed GB ROM (any custom ROM) and run madmack's Arabic patcher (google it and you'll find it). It should work on any deodexed GB ROM, since it's based on Hebrew patcher that decompiles/recompiles the framework - but it's also the reason why it can't work on stock odexed ROM.
I suggest option 1.
Thanks Jack.
1) I heard that ICS was a complete failure and has bricked many i777 S2's. Are you saying to root and use custom ROM as opposed to the ATT update?
2) found what deodexed means... www wugfresh .com /guides / deodex/
Do you have any experience with the i777 S2 and ATT ICS OTA update?
Thanks
1. ICS is generally a better system on this phone IMHO. I do suggest moving to it through custom ROMs rather than through stock official upgrade - stock-based custom ROMs offer stock stability with customization options, and EMBRYO 5.4 is a good ROM that I'm happily running. Not sure how relevant the infamous "brickbug" is, but it's irrelevant for most custom ROMs.
If anyone more familiar with "brickbug" can chime in - you might get a better picture. I got mine with Gingerbread, installed TWRP recovery and flashed custom ROM about 1/2 hour after I got the phone, so I have no experience with stock GB/ICS.
2. "Deodexed" means - not odexed. With Google help:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/
Stock ROMs are always odexed, so you'll have to move to a sort of custom ROM anyway. And if you do - you might as well go a better route than staying on GB.
Since I'm the kk6 (2.3.6) GB, do I need to downgrade factory image first in order to root? Or is there a tool out there to root and put a custom ROM (ICS or JB custom ROM).
Thanks
It's not one tool, it's more.
Read the stickies, they contain rooting guides. See that you understand what you're doing before proceeding.
Thanks Jack. I was just wondering if I needed to downgrade GB version first.
No, you don't need.
Just to let you know, there is a thank button to thank the user that helps you.
It's used a lot here on XDA.
You can thank 8 a day.

Greetings,
I was trying to create custom roms for the Galaxy Y pro (B5510) but I am having problems deodexing the latest stock ROM lately. I tried all tools which deodexes a ROM but I have no luck with any of them, as if there is something wrong during the actual deodexing process.
As you can see, there is no working custom ROM for the Galaxy Y pro lately. If someone can make things work (just let it deodex the stock ROM) then I might as well donate for your efforts

Never mind,
Already figured it out, the easiest way to deodex the rom was using Virtuous Ten Studio... The Auto Deodex feature worked for the stock 2.3.6 Gingerbread ROM by setting the API Level to 10. Just a reference for those who will encounter similar problems. I tried other tools but it returns an error when deodex is initiated. I guess I have to donate to myslef then
