[MOD] Deodexed XXKB3 with VANILLA Lockscreen for I9003!

Based on I9003XXKB3 firmware, I made this mod also for our phone...
How to install:
- unpack the archive and copy the two folder to sdcard ( you must have /sdcard/done_app and /sdcard/done_frame)
- with you pc get an adb shell and type:
su
mount -o remount rw /system
rm /system/app/*.odex
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app
rm /system/framework/*.odex
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework
reboot
Important:The first time the phone maybe won't boot so: unplug the battery and restart...and be patient!
DOWNLOAD HERE
P.S.: for the people that don't like the deodexed app but that have the I9003XXKB3 firmware installed I post also an archive with two files. Simply overwrite the originals in /system/framework/ (also with root explorer)and reboot. The first time the phone maybe won't boot so: unplug the battery and restart...and be patient!
EDIT: The two files contain a mistake so i removed they... sorry.... only apply the first guide!
Let me know what you think.... bye

Ohhh... Basically its a deodexed apk and jar with a different lock screen. I too have deodexed my fw xxkb3. But for Lock screen you can get applications from market. No offence, I respect your work, its a good beginning. Sorry, but I thought initially its with vanilla kernel.

I've tried odexed android.policy and now I'm reflashing phone: It became always rebooting during the boot.

You have a risk of boot loop with Framework related files if there is any incompatibility or improper file replacement. Any time you try such items be ready to reflash. What is your Firmware? Is it XXKB3? If yes then it should work as per Skin 1980, but it wont work on other firmware unlike system/app apks.

Yes. I have XXKB3. And I am not afraid to reflash I did this several times (first to upgrade from XXKB1, then to remove OCLFv1, and so on ) All my settings/applications are saved to Dropbox with help of Titanium backup

Nice work dude

Thanks a lot. Deodexed applications works well. Also I like standard lock screen
Please fix your instruction:
cp /sdcard/done_frame /system/framework
to
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework
BTW After start it showed 318M of free memory, with standard fw I saw ~270M. But I thought that it should use more memory (not lesser). This is strange for me

Hi!
I am on ddkb2 and just want the lockscreen! What do i exactly have to do to just get the vanila lockscreen

Thanks dude, used your framework files for the vanilla lock. But why did you remove those framework.apk files? I noticed those missing files during flash and added my own deodexed apks. Worked great.

I don't remove framework-res.apk.... simply it cannot be deodexed cause it doesn't have odex file.... correct me if i'm wrong

Who said no odex files dude? just check the stock firmware or ask someone who is running stock firmware to check in the /system/framework. There are 24 files after deodexing the framework folder, before deodexing you have 46 files. Attached screen shot here. I have highlighted the apk and corresponding odex files from framework folder.

No dear, I am talking about the two apk files in framework folder which are not included in the jar folder. framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk are the two files. If you are using the application Deodexer_2_3 for deodexing framework files, it creates two folders one for jar files as deodex_jar and another for apk files as framework. Just check in the that folder you will find them.
When I transferred those deodexed files to /system/framework from downloaded files uploaded by you. I used an adb command
Code:
rm /system/framework/*.odex
. This means my system will never reboot without those odex files of above mentioned apks, if did not replace them with deodexed ones. Hope I am clear now. If you guys check in your framework folder you will find two odex files which you have not replaced. Please dont take is as an offense, I love your work.

What i wrote in the first post is what i've done on my phone that works correctly.... sure that the files i attached are not all the files that must be in the system and framework folders.... this because it's simply an "update" to stock rom.
Another thing... no problem with you my friend... we are working all for the same result...
P.s.: framework-res.apk and the other cannot be deodexed i supposed cause the related odex files will be put by the deodex-software into the related .jar files.... check into your framework-res.apk .
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App

No dear, I am sorry to say but you are wrong here. every .apk and jar has their own odex files so the odex resides inside the respective apk or jar file that it belongs to after deodexing them. If you want I can attach those two deodexed framework apk files, which should go into /system/framework folder along with remaining jar files, (without their odex files). Will post tomorrow morning here you may link them to the main post, if you feel so. If I do something, I am never satisfied by incomplete job.

UOT Kitchen Question

I've created a few mods in the Kitchen for the Unity Rom and have a couple things I need help on. I flash the zip and part of the mods work but not all of them. I changed the battery but it only changes on my phone when I charge it. I used the 1.24 Rom they have listed and I have 1,25. Could this be causing an issue or am i doing something wrong.

Instead of choosing the rom from the list, just upload a copy of your framework-res.apk and the systemUI.apk. That takes away some of the guesswork. Also add the com.htc.resources.apk if you are running a sense rom.

It could be.
Whenever I have trouble with the UOT Kitchen...I upload my own files instead of using the files they have.
Try uploading your own framework-res.apk and systemui.apk. I think if its a Gingerbread sense ROM you also have one more file you have to upload.
From the UOT Kitchen How To:
Files you need to upload:
Froyo rom: framework-res.apk
Gingerbread rom: framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
Gingerbread with sense rom: framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and com.htc.resources.apk
Cyanogenmod7 rom: Cyanbread.apk or Androidian.apk or any theme for ThemeChooser (rename as you like it to apear in theme menu)

How do I upload these files. I'm still somewhat new to this.

download Root Explorer or File Expert from the Market (I personally use File Expert...its a free app...does everything Root Explorer does). Navigate to your Root directory...thats where you will find these files. When you find them...copy and paste them to your desktop. That way when you get to that point with the Kitchen, you can easily find them to upload.

I had the same problem. You need to disable the battery percentages in the build.prop file. See the OP and then reboot. Problem solved.

How to re-odex?

Normally to decompile my dex files I use smali and baksmali, how can I re-odex them?
Id like to get my service.jar re-odexed so I can try and push it to my phone via a zip update.

It all needs to be done on your phone, live.. with adb.
Here's how I accomplished it - I will use the services.jar in this example. Just change the file name and path to existing .odex accordingly for other files (not sure if all steps are required exactly, but it has worked for me multiple times with different jars and SysUI apk):
Requirements:
Odexed system
adb
dexopt-wrapper
Put this dexopt-wrapper file (unzip first) in /system/bin with 775 permissions:
X X X
X....X
X....X
Probably a good idea to reboot after pushing that file, if you use root explorer (like I did).
Put the deodexed services.jar (or other jar/apk file you want to make an new odex of) on your sd card.
Go to /system folder (with root explorer or equal) and mount it R/W (not sure if this is necessary - but won't hurt)
Put your USB connection to "Charge only" mode.
Go here (big props and credit to jhotmann for this) and follow steps 8-12 (I've recreated the steps with the A2's bootclasspath below).
The bootclass path is located in the /init.rc file at the root of your phone.
Connect with adb (do a adb devices check to make sure you're all good).
To create the new odex:
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/
dexopt-wrapper services.jar new.odex /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar:/system/framework/com.motorola.android.frameworks.jar:/system/framework/com.motorola.android.widget.jar
I know it's a long entry for those who don't work with command lines often (like me), but double check your entry before hitting enter.
To copy the signature from the existing odex (change path to /system/app/.. if necessary):
Code:
busybox dd if=/system/framework/services.odex of=new.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
Done! Rename new.odex (created on your /sdcard) to services.odex since that is your new signed odex file...
You can then get that on your odexed system by your choice of method (adb push, update.zip, root explorer push, etc.. - note: please know what you are doing before trying to push files with root explorer! - you cannot simply copy and paste!)
Or, if you want to deodex it right away again for some odd reason like I did (personal issues )... Take the services.jar and the new services.odex from your sdcard and put them on your computer - and open the services.jar with 7-zip (maybe winzip) and delete the classes.dex file from the 7-zip window. Now you have a fresh new set of .jar/.odex files ready for deodexing (I did this all with the SystemUI.apk last night, that's why I elaborated and re-typed this whole thing today..).

Not a prob.
And, I updated the dexopt-wrapper link so it's easier to download - just unzip it first..

Ok sooo, I think we (or most likely me) are confused on what I wanted to do. I don't want to make a NEW odex file. I need to recombine my modded classes.dex BACK with the service.jar.
Since I needed to modify some script in the services.jar I had to de-odex it so I had a classes.dex file to use baksmali with so I could modify it. Once I modded it I used smali to create the NEW MODDED classes.dex. And now I need to re-odex(bad terminology?) them to re-combine the services.jar with the classes.dex so the modded services.jar could be used on a odexed ROM.
I'm working on a de-odexed version also, but I'd like to be able to offer both

So, you have a deodexed services.jar (with an unedited classes.dex inside)? And, you also have an edited classes.dex (the new modded one). Just drag and drop the new modded classes.dex into the services.jar file with 7-zip to overwrite the old one.
Then I would check out the mods on a deodexed system, and provided they work, then go through the re-odexing process (separating that classes.dex from the apk and creating a new odex file) as described above to get it working on odexed systems.
Hope that helps.. Good luck!

Yes sir, you are correct. That was the first thing I tried to do was just drag and drop the modded classes.dex with 7zip, save it, however when i tried to flash the "modded" ROM it can't install the system folder because (according to Jim), when I modded copied the new classes.dex, I changed the size, and so the signature needed to be changed as well. They mismatched.

Not sure about the details of that.. I know the signatures can be tricky, but I've modded a few apks/jars similarly with no problems... when you say "can't install.." is that it wouldn't flash in recovery, or you bootlooped?

Just wouldn't flash at all.
And thanks for all your help man.

I've updated the 2nd post with more detail on creating a new odex file...
Not to be a "rooster" (replace with your word of choice) or anything, but maybe this info has a place somewhere besides the general threads..?:angel: (and what is up with these new Smilies and posting reply layout?) - it just seems so hard to come by good literature on this process (which, I suppose, is a process so rarely needed though...)

So I need to perform the processes above while running in an odexed environment correct? Does this process change the deodexed APK we are running the script on to an odexed one as well as create a new .odex file for that APK? I am just confused about what the result is after running the script. For my situation I want to take 2 deodexed files (systemui and sec settings.apk) and odex them. Then push them into an odexed rom. Once I run the script above what am I left with?

(Yes, it will create a new odex file that you will need to rename, but..)NO. You will need to take the classes.dex out of the deodexed apk/jar - use something like 7-zip. Unless you only edited smali, then you really only need the new odex file.

I broke up your quote with my best answers...
As for what your're left with is a new.odex file, properly signed, if all goes well. You are going to need to do it for each of your deodexed files.
Rename them, remove the classes.dex from the deodexed files you used, and get them on your phone however you choose (I prefer zip packages and a restore.zip in case something goes wrong).
Also note that the bootclass path is different from GB to ICS.. and among different devices of course. Check init.rc file if need be. I posted the one to use for A2 ICS (think it may be the same for razr too) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1753659
I can't garuntee you won't have problems, but good luck... if you do you could try the dexopt-wrapper from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645950 - just unzip it first obviously (but I think it's the exact same file though..)
Btw, it's all done with adb, one line at a time.. not really a script, but thank you for the idea - maybe a batch file?

Great, thank you for the detailed response. Last question.
What if I have the original SystenUI.odex and SecSettings.odex files that used to be attributed to them before i deodexed them? Can I simply reuse those without having to run through the adb process?

But, you deodexed them to edit the smali files in the classes.dex right? So, no, you will need to use the new odex files that are created from the modded deodexed files you used..
If you never edited any of the smali files, then you didn't need to deodex in the first place... you only need to deodex in order to mod the smali files - everything else in the apk can be modded as is on odexed systems.

Thank you.
So I am getting an error trying to re-odex. See the attached image of the error.
Weird thing is that even though I get an error it still creates the new.odex file. I triedto go through the entire process even though I was getting errors and it just got stuck on the boot screen and never loaded. Anything in my error attached raise any flags?

Hmmm... First thing I can think of is: are all of those framework files in the bootclass path that you used actually in your /framework folder? With our A2, in ICS there are a few extra .jar files listed that were not actually on our phone, so I had to remove those from the path...
I will try to make a new odex myself and make sure that's not a standard error message... @Fall of Enosis, you recall what it spits out?
EDIT: Shoot - forgot I'm deodexed right now... will attempt later or hear back from Fall by then..

Yes, all .jar files listed in my bootclass were located in the framework directory.

Nevermind...my mistake. I had an issue with my files not being deodexed correctly from the start. I went back and deodexed, made the edits to res and smali then odexed using the method above again and all went well!
Thanks!

Instead of using APK Manager, you can treat SystemUI.apk as a zip archive, extract it on your device, make your changes, re-zip it, change the zip extension to apk, replace your SystemUI.apk with the modded one, and reboot. Don't touch the SystemUI.odex file at all. Leave it. And if anything goes wrong, push your old SystemUI.apk back to the device. This method works (sometimes) on odexed ROMs. Because SystemUI.apk is a system app, it doesn't need to be re-signed or anything; just zipped.

Need some help regarding Odex Files and corresponding apks

Hi guys, I got this problem in my odexed stock rom, I have this problem in sysui, gallery and calculator.
I downloaded 4.2.2 style sysUI, pushed it in the respective folder by replacing with its stock sysUI.
I rebooted my core, the statusbar was gone, so I deleted 'SystemUI.odex" file, then rebooted it worked!
In the same way, I replaced stock gallery with note3 gallery, and stock SecCalculator2
Luckily note3 gallery worked, but it doesn't support Sim2 so I can't change Sim2's wallpaper or make it same as Sim1's.
In the statusbar, I can't see most notification cuz its completely transparent, and also its a bit laggy.
Calculator never worked
So I wanted to replace these with stock, when I pushed it in system>apps> I noticed that there were no .odex files for .apks
I replaced them with their stock odex files, none of 'em worked, I guess cuz of the odex thing, so I again deleted odex files and rebooted, nothing worked..
Now, I need some developer's advice, plz don't tell me to "Flash Stock Rom via Odin" I can't do it...
Is there any other left way to make them work plz I need help..

You are saying 'in my deodexed rom' and then you said 'deleted. Odex file for systemUI'
How could this be possible?
If you have .Odex files in system/apps folder then your ROM is not odexed.
Deodex it first using xUltimate tool
And yup Don't forget to set permissions = rw--r--r--

Well, it seems to me that you have messed up your phone alot.. Flashing stock rom via odin would've been the correct solution to this problem. It's not as difficult as you think, and you're capable of doing it. Follow thecoreguy's tutorial for that.

Then you have done wrong.
Not every apk can be used by just deleting the .odex file.
You need to deodex the apps in system/app and system/framework folder then you can easily replace the apks.
1.First restore back to any working backup.
2.Download xUltimate Tool.
3. Run it.
4. Then just run commands with options 1,2,3,4 (You just need to type 1 and then enter, then 2 and then enter, so on upto option 4.)
5. Exit after executing 4th option.
6. Download ADB tool(don't download the complete package, you will get a 1-2MB ADB.exe from the from itself) - Use it to push the deodexed files made from xultimate.

If you find it difficult then Better you upload the apks with their respective odex file. I will deodex those apks

Not even the stock apks? I want to replace the ported/modded apks with the stock ones..

No you can't because almost all stock apks have their respective odex files and every odex file contains resources that are needed to run those apks. Also there exists dependencies in system/framework folder. So just deleting odex file won't work all time.

Finally got it! Special thanks to megatron
Solution if u r screwed in my situation: don't panic, what I found why I cant do it was bcuz my phone has dat "newest" update of samsung ota. So b4 u take someone's apk and odex file always cross check this(image)
And then you are gud to go!!! U wont even need to restart it'll come automatically(my dad has same phone and same updated version as mine so I copied everything needed frm his phone to mine) @AnsleyC at times, the answer should not be "flash stock rom via ODIN" if u have a crappy pc, u can either repair faulty parts(easier and efficient) or buy a new one(bullcrap)
Have fun everyone!
