[i9001][GUIDE] Deodexing - Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development

Tested on rooted XXKP4.
1. Extract the achive called "xUltimate 2.2" then start Main.exe.
2. If everything is ok, xUltimate will recognize your phone (don't forget to turn on "USB Debugging"), then you will see a menu.
3. Run option 1, after option 1 run option 2.
4. Run option 3 and after option 3, run option 4 and wait
5. Close xUltimate
6. Copy folders "done_app" and "done_frame" to root of /sdcard/
7. Put the folder from "gscript.zip" to root of /sdcard/
8. Install BusyBox_installer_3.6.3 (run (root needed) and click on "Install", then wait to finish (wtf ) ), after this install nl.rogro.GScriptLite.
9. Turn off and turn on the phone (restart)
10. Switch the phone to "USB Debugging" mode and turn on "Emulate Location"
11. Go to GScript Lite --> Menu --> Add script --> Load file --> Deodex.sh --> Save --> Run
12. Ok, now the phone will restart.
13. If your phone doesn't stuck in bootloop, seems everything is ok

Yes, you're right.

Ok.. I followed the instructions above and my phone successfully booted.. does this means my phone is now Deodexed? and how will I know if it is successful?

how do i check for that? i used "my files"(show hidden files) and tried to connect to pc via mass storage. i cant find "system/app" or i should use third part file explorer on my phone? Sorry for being a noob.

use a file explorer like root explorer to get access to the root of your phone

Thanks. all files in system/app are .apk that means my phone is deodexed. Thanks guys...

The links don't work.
Could you reupload?
Thanks

Can someone help me out with installing the HTC Keyboard???

Im running the Cyan 4.2.12.2, on the G1
There are threads libt9.so goes in lib folder and the apk in app folder. There are tons of threads that show how to do this,I see this being closed quick.
maybe, but when i try im getting a messege saying that it cant be installed on my phone.
You put the libt9.so in lib folder in system folder and then installed the app?

You have to push the files using adb, not install them with adb or a file manager on the device.
as manup said,
libt9.so goes in /lib
and the apk goes in app dir

installing the htc_ime.apk
1. get the htc_ime.apk file
2. get a file explorer (OI, ASTRO, or any file explorer)
3. put the htc_ime.apk on the root of or sdcard or somewhere in ur sdcard where u can find it
4. go to Settings->Application
5. check the unknown sources feature
6. go to ur file explorer
7. tap on the apk file, it should give u an install option
8. follow the instructions and install it.
9. if its not showing even if its checked on the locale/text settings, then go and long press on any text box, and it should give u an Input method selection, select the Touch input radio button, then ur done.
if u wanna do it via adb, you can try and look up instructions, but this is the easiest way i can think of and i made the instructions as clear as i can.
thanks man
Weird i seem to install but when i start to use it .it force closes all the time !!!

[Guide] Extracting .apk files from your Installed Apps

Ok, so the story behind this mini-tutorial is that I upgrade their phones periodically, as part of the upgrade process I have to wipe the phones and a nandroid backup doesn't always work.
Titanium Back Up is another option, But sometime i really would like to extract the .apk files from the Apps downloaded from Market.
Hence, I had to figure out a way to extract the .apk files from my phone so I could install them on theirs.
Here's how it's done:
There are two ways of extracting .apk files from your device:
Using a file manager like "EStrongs File Manager" or "ASTRO File Manger" (downloadable from the Market), or
Manually extracting .apk files through the Android SDK.
Method #1 - Using a file manager​Prerequisite: Rooted device
Using ES File Manager
1) Open ES File Manager
2) Click on the menu button of your device
3) Click on "Manager"
4) Click on "App Manager"
5) Long press on app you want to extract
6) Click on "backup"
7) Extracted .apk files will be placed on the "backups" directory of your sd card
Using ASTRO
1) Open ASTRO File Manager
2) Click on the menu button of your device
3) Click on "tools"
4) Click on "Application Manager/Backup"
5) Choose apps to backup and click on "backup" to finish
6) Extracted .apk files will be placed on the "backups" directory of your sd card
Method #2 - Using the Android SDK​
Prerequisites:
- Rooted phone
- Android SDK
- Android USB driver
To extract a .apk file from your device using the Android SDK:
1) Plug your “Rooted” Android device into your computer via the included USB cable.
2) From your adb command line (usually C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\) type “adb shell“ and press enter
3) Switch to root user, type “su“ and press enter
4) type “cd data/app“ and press enter
5) List all the installed apk files, type “ls“ and press enter (find the one you want to extract)
In another command window, pull one of the files on to your computer by typing:
“adb pull /data/app/application.apk name.apk” and press enter
Example:
“adb pull data/app/com.mauri.aplikeishon.apk aplikeishon.apk”
You can find the extracted .apk files in the /tools/ directory of your SDK (usually C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\)
Man the Sensation General forum is on fire with good post right now, this is the third one I have read in 45 minutes. I would have hit the thanks button but I am out of thanks right now. I just hope people do not use this for piracy.
That will be really useful for me, but wouldn't it be easier to use App2zip?

thanks for informing this ..and it was reported

Cheers big-ears!
Easier Method
Why not just use a root file manager and navigate to the file and copy it?
root>data>app
- tom
or just use Titanium Backup... haha
Some backup apps like Android Assistant also allows to create .apk from installed apps
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsImNvbS5hZHZhbmNlZHByb2Nlc3NtYW5hZ2VyIl0.
tnx dude
it was helpful for unrooted phones.
"Share apps" also do this
Mobogenie
Well years have passed and android has now embarked on the L journey but I recently saw this post and remembered i too had the need to backup the apps on my phone so I used a function of the desktop version of the mobogenie software.:good:
You can use my this tool to extract apk file
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andatsoft.myapk.fwa
Its very light and fast.
How to extract apk files in Android
Here's how I extract apk files in android:
1. Download and install APK Extractor in your device. It is free, and is compatible in almost all of the Android devices. Another plus point is it does not even require root or anything to work.
2. After you have it installed, launch it. There you will see a list of apps which are in your device, which include the apps you’ve installed later, along with the system apps. Long press any app you want to extract (you can select multiple or all apps at once), and click on the extract option you see in the top. You will also have the option to share via Bluetooth or messaging.
3. You’re done, you will see the extracted apps as AppName_AppPackage_AppVersionName_AppVersionCode.apk, which will be saved in the path /sdcard/ExtractedApks/ by default.

[GUIDE] [I9105/P] How to deodex your system without using adb shell

Title says it all, in this tutorial, I will be explaining to you S II Plus users (Galaxy Grand users can benefit from this as well) how to deodex your phone without the use of adb shell (well not really, because xUltimate uses adb shell, but all you'll do is press some buttons, the tool will do the rest for you, including run adb commands). So let's begin.
Download xUltimate 2.4 from here.
Extract the zip to any location you like.
Get your phone and go to Settings > Developer Options, enable developer options, then enable USB Debugging.
Connect your phone to your PC/Laptop and open up Main.exe from the xUltimate folder you've extracted in step 2.
If asked to update choose 'n' for no. If all is well and the connection is correct and drivers are installed and the lepricon reached the end of the rainbow, you will see a menu.
Type down 1 and wait for the process to finish, this process is pulling /system/app from your phone into your PC, when it all finishes, press enter, and go to step 7.
Type down 2 and wait for the process to finish, this process is pulling /system/framework from your phone into your PC, when it all finishes, press enter, and go to step 8.
Go to this guide and follow section A only to set up kitchen.
Go to the kitchen folder and make a new folder called "WORKING_DEODEX" and make a new folder in that folder called "system".
Copy origi_app and origi_frame from the xUltimate folder to the system folder you created in step 10, and rename them to app and framework respectively.
Load cygwin as described in the "custom ROM guide" and press 0 to go to advanced options, and then 11 to deodex, and then press b to deodex both folders when prompted.
Download this zip file.
Go to the system folder and copy app and framework folders to the system folder in Generic-deodex.zip.
Save the zip and copy it to the root of your SD Card
Reboot to recovery and flash it via CWM. Might take about 2 minutes to complete the flashing.
This might look long but in practice it's very easy and not time consuming, but it appears as 15 steps because I simplify things to a newbie level to be understandable by absolutely anyone
Sorry Panda00,
thank you very much for your tutorial, but this doesn't work for me..
Have you really tried it that way?
xUltimate(2.4) returns an error at deodexing the first app (accuweatheretc...):
Error occured while loading boot class path files. Aborting.
I have a XXAMC1 Version and i have no idea how to deal with this error..
Can you help me please?
Btw there is a new xultiamte version: http://www.xeudoxus.com/android/xUltimate-v2.4.2.zip
Cheers,
Aaron
Try this... go to the "make your ROM guide and set up kitchen only... in the kitchen folder... where original_update and many other files exist... and create a new folder called WORKING_X then create a folder inside that folder, name it system. Copy origi_app and origi_frame (apk/jar files you pulled) from xUltimate folder to the system folder in WORKING_X. Rename origi_app and origi_frame to app and framework respectively. Open up kitchen, press 11 and deodex both folders. Then put the folders in the generic zip as instructed.

Right man
Rom is 90% complete (so far so good). But kernel is absolutely necessary to improve the battery status.
I got no news from @k2wl yet but one thing is clear... the kernel will be a monster
A MONSTER that is exactly what we need.

Because it is more simple to modify the files if the system is deodexed because instead of 2 files you have just one including the other one

I Figured out how to Change the Status Bar icons on ics without root

Step 1. Copy SystemUI.apk to the sdcard
Step 2. Rename SytemUI.apk to SytemUI1.zip
Step 3. Change the icons i what ever folder they are in. Eg.(Wifi status icons)
Step 4: Rename File Back to SystemUI.apk
Step 5. Install
Step 6. Reboot & Enjoy
NOTE: Attention!! I am NOT Responsible For the Damage or Data loss
Also This Way of Doing so May Be Dangerous

Pretty sure root is needed to even explore the /system partition, also im not sure if adb can gain root access if the device isnt rooted?
Sure it worx,have done it month ago.

Root browsers request root at (their) startup.
adb can pull from system partition but to push it needs root in order to remount /system as rw.

Sorry for been so rough with you before .
But
1. You should replace the first step in the OP with the following command (done in PC)
Code:
adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
2. Add in the OP that your method can be dangerous.

Not exactly.
SystemUI is the status bar so if it doesn't get loaded status bar will not appear. Also due to some weird bug the Phone app FC sometimes.

It's rare to get a bootloop by modifying SystemUI.
All devices have download mode but without root it is useless.
This tutorial installs SystemUI as user app (in /data) so even stock recovery can delete it.

All devices have download mode but without root it is useless.
This tutorial installs SystemUI as user app (in /data) so even stock recovery can delete it.

but in this case its relavent because the only way to fix a bootloop in this case is to root and restore, other then that your bricked.
also a bootloop is very easy when modifying systemUI or framework-res
and no not all devices have download mode, htc has a bootloader menu, and if you didnt disable hotboot before modifying, then theres no chance of fixing this...

This is NOT my work I'm only posting a link to the original thread. Fully working! The keyboard is weird but kind of cool.
How I installed. I downloaded every file, I wanted to try it all. then extracted them all to the same folder. Then I copied the priv-app folder into System root/system using FX Explorer (you need root) any root Explorer will do the trick. After that just reboot. With the launcher you can use icon packs as well!

Don't forget to thank @entrysky for all his hard work.
Mentions that CWM or TWRP Recoveries are needed?
I just extracted the zips then copied the priv-app into System using a root explorer and rebooted. Worked for me, I'm guessing flashfire might work but could take longer to do.
Hope this helps.

Still not quite sure exactly what you are doing here. Each Zip has it's own priv-app folder. What exactly are you combining before putting it into the system folder?
FYI: Flashing zips in order with Flashfire didn't work.
I extracted each one into the same folder, so all the apps ended up in the same priv-app folder as seen in this pic. Then I copied the priv-app folder.
Here is a step by step guide with pictures.
1) download the files.
2) get RAR from Google play. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar
3) open RAR and go to where you download the files, select all the files you want (see first PIC)
4) click the extract button and tick overwrite without prompt. (See PIC 2) then click OK.
5) using a root explorer open the files you just extracted i use FX
6) open the system folder (see PIC 3)
7) copy priv-app (see PIC 4+5)
8) go to your system(ROOT) (see PIC 6)
9) scroll down to the system folder then open it (see PIC 7)
10) in FX there is a padlock at the top to allow read/write click this (see PIC 8, 9 and 10)
11) Go to clipboard then paste select merge/overwrite (see PIC 11 and 12)
12) Long press the middle button on the back of your phone in the middle of volume up/down and select reboot.
13) click thanks

Very much appreciate the effort! Unfortunately, even though I followed your directions perfectly, I still don't have any of the apps. I'm not sure if using flashfire to flash the files previously screwed something up.
That's strange? Did you download 1-4 as these are the main files you need. As you can see its worked for me. Have you tried to fix permissions?
Thank you for sharing. BTW, have you tried BB HUB? also, what about permissions? Maybe I missed but you didnt mentioned anything about it.
I've used the hub its quite handy having all your notifications in one place, also the password keeper is very handy for storing and generating passwords.
Permissions need to be 644 there are apps which will fix it all automatically for you or you can do it manual set to read/write then read and read. See PIC
I have copied resources, productivity edge, services, launcher and hub, but nothing works. Changed permissions for folders and files.. I took only priv folders from zips and coppied to system..
That's strange, i can't be the only one it works for? Did you download the BlackBerry exchange services fixed?

priv folder in fixed zip is empty, no apk inside... btw I extradited it on PC, then transferred to sd.
Strange? I've zipped what I used and uploaded it to my Google drive there is also 2 apps in the app folder I didn't bother with these t.b.h. I've only just noticed them lol. Try extracting the zip the copy app and pri-app into your root system folder let me know if it works? You might have a corrupt download or 2.
