After trying several days to DEODEX an ODEXED ROM, I gave up because It's not working good for me, Bootloops, APK FC's and many more. So I decided to stick with ODEX Stock till someone does it properly. Im still new to this.
So since im on ODEX Stock -> I need to know whether its possible to -
* Mod PNG files inside APK's using Winzip
* Mod Framework-Res.APK to edit the XML "Bools" file to add CRT effect
* Use Deodexed APK's inside System/app folder
If the above is possible, are there things that I should keep in mind to not mess up the system ?
Thanks a lot guys !

Thats already done
[ROM][CWM][ZSALED/XXALF2][ICS][4.0.4] Odexed & Fully Deodexed Stock Roms
If you want to deodex by yourself and dont want to wait till tools are updatet you have to use baksmali/smali tools directly with a batch script!

Does anyone have the stock systemui and framework-res in flashable zips for me? Because I want to revert some mods that I did, without having to install the entire stock rom and settings up my phone again for hours, and also because I'm lazy. For SK17i.
Noob questions:
I will flash this will it leave apps and data untouched?
Will it leave scripts I'm running untouched? (KickAssKernalizer & Supercharger)
Is it possible to get it out of the 4.1.B.0.431 ftf myself?
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.
Does anybody has a deodexed rom of SM-T560? I find it really hard to deodex. I tried all tutorials.
I am running a deodexed 4.4.4 custom ROM based on the Russian a0k1 kernel.
Using nova launcher as the main browser and a lot of the Samsung preinstalled crap removed.
tell me how to extract it from my t560 and I'll wing you a link.
I'm still new to this android game, but I've semi customised it's ROM, installed twrp on it and as rooted working in harmony with link2sd, everything almost is runnable from SD without all that partition madness
It's got all the Samsung bloatware removed and a paired down set of Gapps, all of which are at latest update level.
