Replace Odex with De-odex? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im still learning here so lets keep the flaming to first degree. Is it possible to take the de-odexed apk's from one ROM's system/app folder and replace the odexed apk's with them?
I have been using NexusBeam for some time now and I love it. Works great. However, there are some custom themes/apps that wont work, apparently, because it is still an odex ROM. I know I can say, replace the MMS app that is odex with the same app that is de-odex as long as I change the permissions. So can I do it with all the systems apps?
Or would I have to go in and change the permissions for each one after it boots up? I dare say, im confused?

Titanium pro has two functions. Here's the description from changelog
Version 4.6.4 ============= - [PRO] Added the ability to integrate Dalvik cache system elements into ROM (as odex files) which can save a lot of internal data storage space.
Version 4.6.5 ============= - Added the ability to undo the Dalvik cache integration, to free up ROM space.
The undo feature seems to unodex the whole /system/app
If that's not the case ignore me xD

Fire & Ice looks sick. Might have to flash back to Shooter to give this a go. Great job bill!
Bug help?
Flashed Fire & Ice and it is much smoother than the stock Shooter theme on my EVO.
It seems to have broken Titanium Backup (FC after all app data loads), and all of my shortcut icons are the same blue market one (shortcuts still work though). Icons are normal in the programs list.
Same results with Blue Lightning.
Any suggestions for a fix, or is it possible to roll back to the stock Shooter theme without re-flashing the ROM?
TIA
-Will
That is an odd one....might try wiping cache and reflash the theme...all the files in both themes are the same ones used in the shooter rom. Just edited some images. Might have been a bad flash or download
If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll put a stock theme together for you to roll back to.

I have no problem with titanium backup. Did you try to reinstall the app? Also the blue market shortcuts that you have, did you move those apps to sd card? If so move them back

All I can guess is that you have a bad download or a bad flash...try it again and let me know, either by pm or gtalk.
ok will do
EDIT: is there by any chance that the kernal i have affects the theme?
2nd EDIT: yep i just reflashed for the 4th time and it did the same thing.

Thanks Bill!
I cleared cache/dalvik, re-downloaded & re-installed. Only icons for apps installed on the SD card (98%) didn't load. The card tests A-OK though.
I JFGI'd (shoulda done that first--my apologies). It seems this is a somewhat common GB/sense issue according to the Mik Mik forums: goo.gl/gS6Ib
I force stopped HTC Sense. All my SD app icons came back within seconds of HTC Sense restarting.
This seems like a tolerable band-aid to me for now until I upgrade ROM releases. Next time, I'll have more patience with restoring apps & data.
Thanks again Bill and to all for input.
Thanks Bill for the new version 2.4 of fire and Ice.
I see you tweaked it a bit and shrunk by about 18mb for more space.
Great job!
Just flashed the latest fire and ice, nice job. This finally convinced me to upgrade from froyo

My name is UNDEADK9, I'm a very well respected developer in the Mytouch 4G Slide (HTC Doubleshot) dev section. Both my ROMs have just under 2,000 posts and 80,000 views. My ROMs also hold the top 1st and 2nd place slots within those forums. I was motivated to make you guys a ROM from scratch to prove a point to another dev originally but that has changed as of now. You guys are a great little community. My goal is to bring you true gingerbread. Whether that will happen is still to be decided. I am a father of one and married so life sometimes gets in the way. So bare with me. I am also working on one more project, I will be porting my doubleshot ROM to the HTC Glacier here shortly. But that's the basics here.

[TWEAK][CM7]ODEX CyanogenMod 7.2 Flashable Zip

Flashable Zip to ODEX CyanogenMod 7.2​
I've heard that an ODEXed rom can be faster that a deODEXed rom, or at least the apps will load faster. This may or may not be true, but ODEX does provide one noticeable advantage that the system apps and frameworks no longer require storage space on /data in the dalvik-cache. It uses more space on /system, but there is plenty to spare there with CyanogenMod.
One of the main reasons roms are usually deodexed is to allow themers and the like to easily edit apks and frameworks. Since cyanogen has the Theme Chooser app that doesn't need to modify files, I decided to try odexing. This is loosely based off of a script by Decad3nce for the Hero.
So far I haven't noticed anything broken by this, and it seems a bit faster. I have no way to tell if its actually faster, but there's no harm in trying it for yourself.
Advantages:
More free space on /data
Possibly faster app loading time and phone bootup.
Disadvantages:
More space used on /system (so what?)
Moding system apk files and framework not easy. (ex. Theme flashable zips won't work, but CM has its own theme app that still works.)
Instructions:
NANDROID!!!
Flash zip (be patient, it takes a while)
Reboot
How to flash a new nightly: IMPORTANT!
Flash cm_epicmtd_full-##.zip
Flash gapps-gp-20110828-signed.zip
Flash auto-odex-cm7_2.zip
Notes on using custom kernels:
Custom frameworks: If the kernel (or anything else) flashes any .jar file in /system/framework/ you MUST flash it before odexing. If you want to flash after odexing, open the kernel zip on your computer and delete the jar file from /system/framework/.
Zipalign: Kernel's that zipalignshould be flashed after this. My odex script deletes the classes.dex file from every app/framework it odexes which modifys the zips. I haven't verified this, but I am assuming that negates the effects of the zipalign.
If the kernel both zipaligns and has custom frameworks, you must make a choice of which feature you find more useful. If you want zipalign more, delete the custom frameworks and flash after odexing. If you want the custom frameworks more, flash before odexing.
How to undo (deodex):
Do NOT just delete the .odex file from /system/app or /system/framework !!!!!
You have two options here:
Advanced restore nandroid of /system
--OR-- Reflash CyanogenMod and Google Apps.
Download:
auto-odex-cm7_2.zip - 948 KB
This has been tested to work on CyanogenMod 7.2 Nightly 12 and 13.
It should work on any other nightly or the RC0, but no guarantees...
How it works:
The flashable zip runs a script that runs a program called dexopt-wrapper on every framework file in BOOTCLASSPATH order, then every system apk included with CM and gapps. It then deletes the classes.dex file from all of those frameworks and apks. Last it clears the dalvik cache since much of it will now be unneeded.
The dexopt-wrapper binary doesn't do much other than properly run the system's dexopt binary with the right arguments.
Credits:
Inspired by a script by Decad3nce
zip binary: taken from metamorph app's googlecode site.
dexopt-wrapper binary: Not in CM, so taken from random mediafire link
Author unknown, but here's what could be the source code

Do you mean how to ODEX a previously DEODEX'd file? All the ODEX custom ROMs I've seen are flashable... unless you are discounting those done via ODIN... but that doesn't make up the bulk of ODEX ROMs.

Just a thought but if you delivered deodexed files and then deleted the odex file associated with them when you installed and then ran this script on the files you added or modified after the install it would be like delivering odex or deodex to whoever wanted each version and it could key off some config file or just check for the presence of an odex file in the system directory to determine if to odex after installing or not.

He did say that the mod is already flashable. And he didn't specify whether it was previously deodexed because A.) it doesn't matter if the mod had once been odexed and subsequently deodexed, or was and always has been deodexed, and B.) why would he ask how to odex an odexed file? That's an easy one: "step 1.) Don't do anything. step 2.) there is no step 2... (no, don't profit - you haven't done anything)"

I think you misunderstood one of us. I did not suggest that anyone ODEXed something that was already ODEXed, nor did I suggest that anyone else what inquiring how to do that. Maybe you need to re-read it?

I don't believe it's possible to odex files outside of the phone. The odexing process makes use of the dexopt binary on the phone which is part of andriod. I think you pretty much have to do it manually on the phone, or write a script to do it from a flashable zip.
As for flashing new files then odexing them to a rom that has already been odexed, that must be done carefully. If you are just changing an app, then just delete the odex file, replace the app with your deodexed version, then odex it if you want (doesn't have to be odexed). If you want to change one of the framework jar file, you should probably revert the whole rom to deodexed first. The frameworks have to be odexed in BOOTCLASSPATH order, and before any apps are odexed. If one of them is replaced and reodexed later, things will break. Also, if the odexing of any of the framework is changed, it invalidates all the apps that were odexed.
It is possible to leave the framework deodexed and odex just the system apps, but that probably isn't even worth doing, since everything uses the framework, where only relatively a few of the apps are system apps (at least when you have 200+ apps). But this does allow the framework to be modified easier.
My reasoning behind odexing both the framework and the apps is that this is cyanogen. The framework files shouldn't really need modified for anything. Seems like it should be easier to make any changes in the cyanogen source.

Check your ODEX thread. Did you give a look at tanimn's odex tool? I posted it there.
Has anyone tested this, other than zmann of course? Just wondering if anyone has noticed any pros/cons. Also, would it matter which kernel one was using with this mod? The smooth scrolling mod in the newer samurai kernel modifies the framework.jar somewhat i believe.

Samurai flashes one of the framework jars, so the one way for it to work is if you reflash nightly and gapps, then samurai, then this.
I've been running this for a couple days on 13 now and it seems so much faster. I don't seem to get the random slowdowns that always seemed to happen with just about every rom.
Edit: its had 40 downloads, so someone must be using it.

After every nightly, flash gapps, then this. If your flashing samurai, you should flash it before odexing since it modifys framework. If flashing my kernel, flash it after odexing since it zipaligns the system apks.

thanks for the info guys. im gonna go ahead and give it a shot. theres still a few things that are unclear to me. one, if i flash the kernel affecting the framework and then this, would the modifications to the framework in the odex zip nullify the modifications used in the smooth scrolling tweak? and two, if i use a morph to theme the lockscreen, will it work with this, and if so should i flash the morph before or after flashing the odex zip? thanks again for the help, i hit the thanks button for all three of you.

Q.... All in one mod zip

How can i put all the mods and tweaked apps in one flashable zip so that i don't have to do them one by one...
Example swype dark blue, agps fix, invert gmail, invert play store, invert mms, invert Google music and cm9 reloaded
Could it really be as easy using 7zip and wipe cache flash and fix permissions... I haven't tried this yet but thought id ask first?

Couldn't you just take a relevant CWM zip used for one of those apps and then just drag and drop all your other desired apps into the /system/app folder of that zip? Cause most of the updater-scripts usually just delete any of the files you're replacing --- delete("/system/app/Mms.apk"); --- and then extract the rest of the folder --- package_extract_dir("system", "/system"); --- and then for any other things that aren't just system apps, I'm sure you could just merge the rest of the zips into that one. Like if it's a framework folder thing, just add it in there, and then include the relevant updater-script lines from its original zip into your new one.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
You can try pushing them to system/apps but I dont think they will run. If you want the stock apps stick with a stock ROM.
As i understand it...Stock apps are usually Odexed. Custom ROMs are De-odexed. Difference? Odex is the part loaded to the dalvik cache to help make the phone boot quicker. So the phone maker separates the APK into two files. The apk and odex. You cannot just run the file with the APK alone...you NEED the odex. A custom ROM would de-odex the files and they are combined into one. It WILL NOT run odex files. I have tried on a few ROMs on the bionic to get it to run stock apps in a custom rom if i included the odex. Still wouldn't work. If you can find someone to compile the APK and ODEX for you it may work.

Edit: plus many apps on this device like the weather clock are tied to touch wiz. You cannot use them outside of it. Even on another launcher with the stock ROM (nova [my fave], apex, go, etc)
If you want stock bloated apps use a touchwiz rom.
Good luck
