[GUIDE][ADB] Deodex ND7 NEW ROOT Users - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hey guys,
I know A LOT of the new users want to use mods and theme things now that they are newly rooted on ND7 4.4.2. So I was trying to think of a way to make it easier to do so, one being deodex. For us who are unlocked, we develop and theme mostly on deodex system's. So lets get to the guide.. This will make all your apps in system/app and system/priv-app Deodex, therefore you can theme them and head over to my Mods Thread and take advantage of them!
Prerequisites:
PC
Android SDK and/or ADB
USB cable
Patience
First make sure you have USB Debugging enabled on your device (Go into About Device in Settings, Find Build Number, Hit it 8 times until you unlock developer settings. Go into Developer Settings..Scroll down.. Enable USB debugging) Let make sure ADB is setup correctly and working.. Open a cmd prompt where you installed ADB (If SDK it should be C:\SDK\platform-tools\) type:
Code:
adb devices
Your return should look something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If it does NOT look like this you need to either enable USB debugging, Grant the PC access to the phone or look up some guides on getting ADB started.
So once we know ADB works, lets download the zip I provided with the apps. These are pulled straight from ND7 Stock tar and Deodex by me, there should be no issues. I want you to extract them to your PC. Now lets make some folders on your internal sdcard(Use a root explorer/file explorer):
Folder names:
deodex_app
deodex_priv-app
Once you made the folders go ahead and copy the apps in their correct directory. App goes in deodex_app and Priv-app goes into deodex_priv-app.
When this is finished its time to start the ADB commands..
So we should already have our device connected and adb working with the return device serial number. Lets execute some cmds. After each line hit ENTER:
Code:
adb shell
su ([COLOR="Red"]MAKE SURE YOU GRANT SU PERMISSON!![/COLOR])
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/deodex_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
cp /sdcard/deodex_priv-app/* /system/priv-app/
rm /system/priv-app/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
exit
exit
adb reboot
**BE SURE TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR COMMANDS...SPELLING AND SPACES ETC..
Once rebooted your device should update all apps..You should be Deodex and ready to do whatever your heart desires!!
Happy Theming! Any ?'s just post and ask! Want to learn how to Theme??? Head to this THREAD!!
PS: You want frameworks as well? Do this:
Download this zip, extract it, make a folder on your sdcard: deodex_frame. Copy unzipped contents to that new folder. Start ADB:
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/deodex_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
exit
exit
adb reboot
Should update and be good to go! Enjoy!
@KennyG123 would mind making this sticky?? THANKS!

So do you copy the the contents of deodex_app/app to deodex_app on the phone or do you copy the app folder itself to the phone

Unzip it and there should be a /app and /priv-app folder.. Make a folders called deodex_app and deodex_priv-app on your sdcard.. open those folders and copy the contents(the actual apps) inside of those folders

Could you just copy and paste using a root explorer as well

Nope..

Don't know what I did wrong but I'm stuck at the verizon boot logo...
Only thing I did different was created folders on internal storage on pc instead of using root browser on phone.

Nice write up lacoursiere18, worked like a charm. :good: thanks for the deodexed files

---

got the apps and priv-apps deodexed fine but, when I get to the part for framework the copy goes fine but when I do rm /system/app/*.odex it fails and says no .odex found. Should it be rm /system/framework/*.odex ??? Seems to have worked, don't see any odex files. Thanks for the write up!
