Someone with mini have to help you. But since no one replying, and to save your time from searching all over the web;
To know which apk that has been modified, open the mod that you have applied using archive apps (winrar should do if you are in windows) and see what apk is inside (generally it should be framework-res.apk and/or SystemUI.apk)
To revert back, one of the way is to extract that apk from stock fw file, copy to your /system/ then change permission rw-r--r-- (if you dont know what it means, just refer to any apk inside /system/app/ permission's, they are all the same generally for /system/app/ and /system/framework/ ). Then, move it to appropiate folder replacing the current file (SystemUI.apk into /system/app/ for example. Better to replace systemui.apk first before framework-res.apk to avoid unexpected fc in the process)
Once done, reboot.
Other ways, ask anyone to make cwm compatible zip file for you to revert back to original or wait for someone to post the apk's here for you.
Thats a very good lessons actually, do a backup first before doing/modifying anything. Dont just simply flash any zip file, see first whats inside, backup whatever files that is affected by that zip to your sdcard is the fastest way (but not 100% reliable compare to make a backup in cwm.
Anyhow, good luck. cheers fren.

hi
when i had "desire c" with arabic rom i change driodkufi-regular.ttf with driodnaskh-regular.ttf and change permision then my arabic font changed but now in desire x , when i do that (driodnaskh-regular.ttf=358kb and droidkufi-regular.ttf=79kb) and restart my phone not any thing changed and when check the /system/fonts i see that droidkufi-regullar.ttf comeback to 79kb again ,
is there any body know how can fix the fonts that after restart phone dont replace that with the orginal font?
thanks
HTC implemented some sort of security to their newer devices where you cannot write to the system as the kernel will reset it.
What you can do is adb push the font in recovery, or make a flashable zip for the font and flash it in recovery.
Basic thing is any change to system, to make it work properly you need to do it at recovery level

Here is the stock fonts for my ROM which is a flashable zip.
What you can do is open it with an archiver (I use 7-zip), and replace it with all the fonts from your current ROM and name it as stock fonts (you need this if something goes wrong as not all fonts may work for your device).
Then make another one and put in all the fonts that you want to change and name it as modded fonts zip.
So flash the modded fonts zip and see how it goes.
If some fonts make your device stuck, reflash back your stock fonts zip.

hello babakhad, I have some question..
I see there's so many fonts on the Stock_fonts.zip, so I just have to delete it all and put only one font that i want to use? Only one .ttf file? If I only put one .ttf file, will the font in the lockscreen change too?
Can anyone tell me how to deodex Xperia Z2 6.0.1 firmware step by step? Thanks in advance....

I am also looking for the same. On MM rom, Sony is using symlinks to link odex files.
A step by step guide would be highly appreciated.
Thank you
I'm not gonna go into deep details, but this should help.
- flash MM rom for your device, make sure it is ROOTED as you'll need to use an explorer with root access,it's better if you do this on a clean install, but this is just me
- boot your device and go through the setup process
- once done, install a browser with root access, I recommend MiXplorer, root explorer
- browse into /system folder
- check your /app, /framework, /priv-app, they should have odex files inside them (this was the case for me)
- copy these folders, plus build.prop file into sd card or the phone memory
- connect phone to pc and copy files over
- look up and download SVADeodexerForArtx(32 or 64 based on your system), you also need to have java installed on your machine.
- extract the SVADeodexerForArtxxx to your c: drive, and create a folder named /system insides, and post the files from your phone inside that
- your final folder will look something like this : c:/SVADeodexerForArtxxx/system/ (app, framework,priv-app) and build.prop file
- remember to move the Semcxxx app folder from /framework into /app folder or it won't be deodexed
- run SVADeodexerForArtxxx and point it to your /system folder, it will show you your android version, tick the checkbox for app, framework, priv-app, hit the start button
- it'll run and once done the log file will open and tell you how many were deodexed.
- the deodexed folders will be in the base folder, make sure to return the Semcxxx folder from the /apps to /framework
- create a flashable zip and flash these folders back on your rom
now your rom is deodexed

Thanks for the steps.
These steps looks to be from older version. Anybody with 6.0 Sony MM steps?
@ticktock666
There are certain other folders such as odex.app, odex.framework, odex.priv-app...what about these? These folders also contains similar odex files for app, framework and pri-app...

I deodexed my MM rom about a week ago, so I'm saying this from experience : it is up-to-date.

I'm not sure, but here's some of the stuff I noticed during the deodex process :
- I used to get the files using adb pull command directly to pc after a fresh rom install (remember to install a pre-rooted rom), but I did not get any odex files with the apps this way, so deodexing didn't work.
- after pulling the files from the device using a root explorer, each app had the odex files with them inside the correct folders.
- about odex.xxx folders and odex.xxx.sqsh files : they contain an exact duplicate of the odex files, no idea why (you can extract the sqsh files, they're basically special compressed odex file container sort of thing), which means the rom contains 3 versions of the same odex file, makes no sense.....
after deodexing and flashing the deodexed rom/files, I deleted odex.xxx folders and odex.xxx.sqsh files, and my rom works fine, fully rooted and with xposed. My current issue is that now if I browse into /data/app on the root of the drive I'll find an odexed version of every app I have installed, be it a user app or system app, and it's driving me crazy.

sorry buddy, but although just the deodexed files from my rom should work perfectly (it's only the apks, no other settings from the rom are included), it is near impossible for me to upload anywhere due to slow & unstable connection and power situation, since none of the hosting services support upload resume on their apps/sites.

Is there any script or something that we can flash through recovery ?

sorry for the late reply, haven't been checking much recently.
now about those sqsh files, I've tried extracting them, and they seem to contains a 2nd copy of the odex files, not sure how they work, but after deodexing my rom I simply deleted them, and everything worked normally.

I don't have the latest rom yet (not released for 6502), but when you go into your /system/app folder using a root explorer, do you see "arm" folder inside any of the installed apps ? maybe they changed something in 291, and now they only use sqsh files, also what does the log from the app says when you deodex the rom says ? it should say something like "300 apps deodexed, 10 apps already deodexed" or something like that.

nice - thx
I think You can do flashable zip file for beginners - no question how to set permissions, ect.
..and if You could write about backup system files before install it - if something will go wrong.
Thx a lot

heheh I wrote about it above
libs are important - without it the app will FC.
But do permissions for for folder of libs like other from /system/app or system/priv-app - lib

Aha ... so if no present so I think only apk file is ok...
change name old apk via add ".bak" at the end of name and paste the new form zip folder, next set permission at
rw-r--r-- and restart the phone - if something goes wrong - rename the old apk via delete ".bak" at the end and delete the new apk copied from zip.
You can back to original version of TW.

Yes,just proceed and create zip
After u flash and reboot, photos force close so u just need to ignore it and update it via playstore then it wont happen similarlt for other apps like drive and maps afaik.
Btw u did move the odex files to respective folders right? If u didnt then u will have to do it and then deodex it orelse phone will bootloop.
