Trying Deodex Success and Fail - Sony Xperia C5 Ultra

I've been trying to deodex my C5 Ultra
Everything was fine with "priv-app" and "app" deodex. Then "framework" came in I had bootloops. I've waited a long time in SONY brand image nothing happened. I'm going to try it again now and if i succeed I will share my experience during the progress.
EDIT: I've deodexed my rom successfully. Now I'm going to check out some xposed modules. If I have a good amount of them working properly I will share how i did all this here. If not then I wont share because it won't worth it.
EDIT 2: Don't bother deodexing your ROM because it changes nothing. Just root and use xposed if you want to. BUT ALWAYS TAKE BACKUPS ALWAYS!!!

well we need a custom rom.. not a deodex... even other phones have more developer support such as trash general mobile discovery...

Removing Vibration icon on stock I3 rom

Please politely direct me if this topic has its own section already but I couldn't find it easily.
I know this has been asked and answered somewhere in this forum but things get buried in forums that end up many with many pages of different specific questions all piled together ie in the 2.3.5 topics......
I have a general idea about Odex and Deodex roms.
Now my stock rom is an odex rom from my understanding and theming generally doesn't work because of the technical reasons behind the difference betweeen odex and deodex roms.
But is there a way to remove the vibration icon without going to a deodex rom? I rooted my phone but it doesn't seem so useful with the stock rom apart from being able do full backups.... Oh and being able to change the overglow effect and crt effect which are minor things for me.
I came from a long history with windows mobile which involved down the custom rom and ported roms path since i got fed up with the stock experience.
But I'm not at that stage with Android and quite content with the stock samsung/google experience with independent apps seeming to fix any annoyances I have experienced so far....
There is a mod in sicopat's Rom thread that will remove it for you. Here is the direct link to the download http://www.multiupload.com/DRXS2HIPZ7
You will need cwm to flash the file. If you don't have cwm, you can also unzip the file and drop the systemUI.odex file into system/app manually using root explorer or something similar then reboot the phone
Thankyou. I will give that a shot!
Well using cwm to install said everything went fine but on reboot nothing had changed.
And I cleared both lots of cache. Even tried twice.
But manually extracting and copying the file worked.
Not sure why but at least it worked.
Thanks again.

Stock apps install

Ok I love some of the features of the ICS rom I installed but most are real debloated. I like some of the stock apps but cant figure out how to install them.
I know they are not odex but the apk wont install. I dont remember but thought it needed and associate file. Little help.
I asked the same question in a post last week and have not heard anything. I really need smart actions and mobile hotspot to work but have found no luck getting the apk files to work.

[MOD] NH5 framework with full rotation and no tethering checks

Hello,
I figured I would post this for anyone else might want to use this or not.
This is a modified framework that has removed the tethering checks in the framework and also has full 360 rotation enabled.
Feel free to use it.
All I ask is that if you put it in your rom and post it to give me credit.
Thank you and let me know if this helps you if I should continue posting newer versions if desired.
See attachment for download.

I just tried to copy and overwrite the original file. It wouldnt let me so I renamed the original. Then I just kept getting a bunch of errors and cannot get the phone to boot....
This sounds great and i'd love to give it a shot. But im a little sceptical on flashing brand new frameworks and such. There's a lot of tethering check disablers for the stock S5 roms but I haven't found one that really gets around t-mobiles provisions. Can you explain what this does exactly? Or what makes it different?
If this was a zip. That would be awsome. Actually already have a rom that disables tether check. Would love this to be in 2 parts. But im not sure how that works seeing as its 1 file.
Has Anyone got this to work yet on their t-mobile TW rom?
Do you have a custom recovery or not?
I can make it a flashable zip for those who have it.
If you are towel rooted, you need to stop the shell running and copy and replace the stock file with this one using adb on the computer.
Thank you. That would be awesome. I have TWRP 2.7.1.0 to answer that previous question
Cool.
Then later tonight when I get a chance I will make a flashable zip that will back up the current one you have then flash mine.
Accidentally broke something in my Linux install. Might be till tomorrow till I get that up for you. Sorry
Its ok. I lived this long without a rotating TW I can live a little longer
Will there be services held for dead linux machine?

Can someone explain how to use this in complete steps?

[Patch][MM 6.0] [Stock] Deodex patch for firmware .163

Hi. At last, deodex patch appeared for our Z4 tablet too!
Download links!!!
Android 6.0
For SGP771
https://yadi.sk/d/utGkXKPIq7hmX
For SGP712
Android 5.0.2
For SGP771
https://yadi.sk/d/c3nzIj1XoqpJD
For SGP712
Add the link when someone creates it on his own
Please do a backup first!!!!!!
HOW is it created?
Use this tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/tool-deodex-tool-android-l-t2972025
First you need these folders and 1 file:
root/system/app
root/system/priv-app
root/system/framework
root/system/vendor/app
root/system/build.prop
copy them to your pc folder named system
Move the content of root/system/vendor/app (the app folders) and the semgeneric folder from root/system/framework to the root/system/app or priv-app
start the deodex tool; tick the 3 folders and let it do the work
After finishing without errors , move the folders you copied from /system/vendor/app and semcgeneric back to their respective locations and you have the deodex folder which contained
app
priv-app
framework
vendor/app
create the flashable zip(replace the folder(system folder) in the the zip with yours and test it )
How to install:
-you may need this do first as patch is done when my tablet already had deodexed camera and album apps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/z4-z5-z5c-fix-camera-fc-installing-t3246962
-Flash in the recovery
-wipe cache and dalvik-cache
Bugs:
I haven't noticed them yet
What about reboots?
As long as I tested it. No random reboots being noticed. However, permanent reboots remained: after wiping dalvick cash[after "optimizing apps"](with xposed installed) and with xmod 2.1.1 for clash of clans. The tablet work as fast as before. I think reboot problem connected to the kernel. Now I think it is easier to delete unnecessary system apps with deodexed stock rom. And it's better for using some xposed tweaks.
Specials thanks to:
lordriguez huge thanks for his precious help!!!

Any chance for a SGP712 version?

Can you elaborate on this? I only know about random reboots and a reboot right after the 'Optimizing apps' stage with Xposed installed, after wiping Dalvik/Cache.

I faced no random reboots for the time being. Year, I meant permanent reboot goes as usual after optimizing apps.
Guys. I think I know why we still have random reboots even with deodex patch.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/patch-deodex-patch-firmware-200-t3301572
Z5 users have the same situation with reboots(with their patch too)
Please take a look at this https://yadi.sk/d/cieOb3GXouhXwfiles it's root explorer search *.odex .
Once upon a time (today), One man told me if you want system without reboots. There should be no odex files at all. If there is at least one odex file, there could be a problem.
In the system priv app I have only one odex file called phonesky.without any apk.(After the patch of course). And what is pbonesky?, it's absent on the list of system files
And there are so many odex files in other parts of the system.
Seems we should transform all odex files, not only in the /root/system.
So please, tell me your thoughts on it.
Look forward to your response!!!
I still have random reboots too after flashing your patch. phonesky.apk is google play store

Year. The point is I have no apk in phoneshy folder, only odex file. That,s a bit strange. Do you have the same?
Edit 1 Ok. Our goal, to pull off all odex files. Now I'm thinking how. Auras advices to use SuperR kitchen with linux
yes, mine is empty too.
After reading your post, I uninstalled google play store with titanium backup. And then copied phonesky.apk to system/priv-app/phonesky and changed its permission. Then deleted the odex file and reboot. google play seems to be working fine.
Edit: I found out your patch actually doesn't have phonesky.apk.
Well. Overall, deodex remained odex files is not a problem. But someone should help us to write a new script for a flashable zip. That's a problem
I'm really sorry, it turn out that I forgot to delete my backup of the original odex system apps, that is why root explorer was finding so many odex files. After I delete my backup and Phonesky folder as it only had one odex file without apk. It found only two odex files..They belong to Google play services. How do you think maybe they are the reason of reboots with xposed?
So the patch works excellent. But two odex files from Google play services remained.
—-----------------
But take into consideration I have patched play store and some other users might have it too.If you have original play store, my patch will not affect phonesky(play store/market).
So is it better to reupload my patch with phonesky deodex patch, or user can patch it separately beforehand on his own, by lucky patcher or deodex tool?
I did a little research. Two odex files of Google play services are on absolutely any android system, even on full deodex cyanogenmod. So no need to deodex them, they are not system apps. They are not the cause of reboots.
In summary, we have 100% full deodex stock system, but the reboots after optimization aps with xposed and some others, it doesn't solve.
I hope that android 6.0 will be better

This post explains something about the chimera odex files.
dl12345 said:
An examination of the filesystem showed that com.google.android.gms (Google Play Services) installs an apk and an odex file in /data/data/com.google.android.gms/app_chimera/chimera-module-root/module-b4902ed544a9b2fc3415a9fb64fb048759fc2157. The long hashed folder name changes, as you can imagine with a name like "chimera".

Thanks for your efforts and finding out deodexing doesn't fix random reboots.
Hi everyone! It's time to talk about deodexing marshmallow.
First of all, no random reboot after optimization apps on odex system. No need to patch camera and album apps. It works stable.
What I noticed.
After installing via flashtool and recovering apps from accounts , there were 17 gb out of 22. I got twrp backup, erased internal storage, restore my backup, and as I result it freed 10 Gb.
After deodexing system, everything works well. The size of app, framework, priv-app, vendor/app becomes around 1,6 Gb. The odex one is around 3.2.
There is a little nuance, if you want patched market on deodex system, you need to do it before this patch, do dump of the system stuff of your tablet and deodex it.
And what I've noticed too, that there are much more odex files remains in the data/app folder. In the lolipup we had only two odex files remained whereas you'll find more in the marshmallow. It means as far as I understand android install apps in odex fashion from the market.
So, at first glance, the patch seems is not so necessary, but if you want to customize android, it's better to have deodexed romtoo in theory.
So, look forward to your responses

Thanks for sharing this. Is this debloated version - while based on NOOK edition there are not useless apps right?
Also is it pre-rooted and pre-xposed ?

Yes more bloatware from the nook edition however the nook edition uses UX in Touchwiz to make the home screen much much nicer looking I know you have been PM'ing me im working right now on a debloater script for ya guys, trust me i hate bloatware as much as you, as for xposed no, no pre installed xposed, why because after installing xposed it takes almost 10 to 15 mins to restart into the system and once people install this i like how they can get right back into there OS, and rooted if you have TWRP installed which you need to flash this you have SuperSU and root, Unless you deny TWRP to install SuperSu.
I will continue working on the debloater for you sorry its taking sometime but there's a TON of samsung useless apps plus you have to factor in some people may want this or that and if i make a script to flash its going to remove all the bloat not a pick and choose script.
Can i use this on 237p ?

Umm you know i dont think there are any like device changing settings, if you look in your system files the apps framework and priv-app are very similar then i dont see why not however you have to know i forgot this in my first post if you brick it then you know its not my fault, cause we both know they dont belong in that phone, lol but i am kinda a dare devil hell i flashed a kernel from a completely different phone and i was still ok restoring it. I just checked out your specs im not expert i would pm a dev from another thread just to make sure you., but if you upload you files i will deodex your rom for you its takes me like 10 mins takes me longer to upload then to deodex lol
My current rom is already somewhat debloated so would I have to temporally reinstall those apps for updating?

This update.zip contains the apks and jars from system/app system/framework and system/priv-app yes it would reinstall the bloatware i had a request to make a debloater script which i can do however if i got more requests for it id make a script to remove the bloatware a lot of people dont realize bloatware is mainly the cause of drop in performance.
This is kinda embarrassing but i had a working debloater script saved on my desktop. i had to reinstall windows 10 of course lol and gone! it took sometime to make because Samsung has more crap then any other

Im not having any luck getting this to boot on my t530nu Model. I have the lollipop bootloader contained in the official 5.0.2 update from samsung but it isnt the newest version contained in your stock rom. Would that be catching me up? i got multirom all set up and dont relish the thought of having to restore the newest stock image and redo everything. thanks much
