[SCRIPT][6/19/2011] Inspirefy 1.1 for CM7 nightly - Delete stuff & Replace stuff

Hello, I wrote this shell script to make the CM7 nightly the way I like. It was a pain to do it manually every time I would flash a new nightly.
NOOB WARNING:
THIS SCRIPT IS FOR CM7 NIGHTLY ONLY. IT MAY WORK FOR OTHER CM7 BASED ROM BUT USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. IT DELETE SOME FILES ON THE /SYSTEM/APP AND MODIFY YOUR BUILD.PROP FILE. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DESTROY YOUR PHONE NOR IF YOUR PET DIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.​​
This script do this:
1) delete some APKs from /system/app that I don't need
/system/app/Camera.apk - replaced by Miui camera
/system/app/Calculator.apk - I use RealCalc
/system/app/FileManager.apk - I use Root Explorer
/system/app/Music.apk - I use the new Music App
/system/app/BooksPhone.apk - I don't use this
/system/app/Protips.apk - Useless

2) replace the boot animation with a sharper and bigger version (file size is bigger too)
The original boot animation size is too small for our screen. Some people could car less for this as you don't reboot your phone that often.
Original boot image:

3) replace the default camera for a Miui camera
We all know the AOSP camera sucks...

Click to collapse
4) backup and edit build.prop to display "Inspire 4G" as device name
Some people asked how it affect the market and so far so good for me.
I have no idea if automatic backup/restore from Google is working or not. I use Titanium Backup to restore my apps before I login with my Google account.

Things you will need:
1) Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A)
Free app. We will use this to run the script.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) Script and other files - RAR version inspirefy_files_v1.1.rar or ZIP version: inspirefy_files_v1.1.zip
All the files needed for the magic to happen...
VERSION 1.1 UPDATE: If you already have the version 1.0 on your phone you can download the attached zip file from this post to update the script to version 1.1 - Just extract the zip file to /sdcard/inspirefy/ and replace the old 'inspirefy.sh' script.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to install & use it:
1) Extract the inspirefy_files.rar (or inspirefy_files.zip) to the root of your sdcard (/sdcard).
You will have 2 new folders (or just 1 new folder is SL4A was already installed): /sdcard/inspirefy and /sdcard/sl4a
2) Install the sl4a on your phone and run it.
2a) Select "run-inspirefy.sh" from the main screen. If it's your first time running the script you must confirm the super user request.
3) After the script is done (about 2s) you can close SL4A and reboot your phone.
Done
You can edit the file /sdcard/inspirefy/inspirefy.sh with your preferred text editor to make any changes you would like, maybe you want to keep the Tips widget
Have fun!
Thanks to dog77k for the feedback and suggestions and everybody who is using this script.

Good stuff LGSilva. Will let you know how things go after I find a free method to extract the rar (don't use root explorer) or when I get to my desk...

Very cool and glad to see this. Nice job

Just added a ZIP version for the necessary files in case you want to do this on your phone.

forgive me, but I've never ran a script on android before. I loaded up the folders on the root of my sdcard, installed SL4A and ran it. Superuser didn't ask for permissions. Also, I can't figure out how to run what I need to. Help?

When you ran the script did you get the terminal window output with something like this?
Code:
Inspirefy 1.0 by LGSilva
Remounting system partition rw...
Deleting apk files and boot animation...
Copying new boot animation and camera...
Setting permitions and ownership...
Backuping build.prop and changing device name...
Remounting system partition as ro...
DONE
.
The text is tiny but you can read it. Is there any error message on the terminal window?
Check the superuser app, sometimes it will have the SL4A marked to deny root...
Edit: Just testing on build 103... looks like SL4A is not happy with this build, time to investigate.

They (nightly forum) are saying that the SU app is jacked on 103...

Nightly build #103 have a problem with Superuser not working right therefor my script won't work either.
To fix this download the Superuser from Rom Manager > Extras, reboot in recovery and install it.

Yep, you beat me to that, I blame the internet

Two suggestions/hints for the inspirefy.sh code:
"chown root.root /sys..." gave me an unknown user/group error, but "chown 0.0 /sys..." worked for me.
I was getting an error when trying to remount /system as ro that it was still busy so I added a 2 sec pause before trying to remount:
Code:
echo -e "Remounting system partition as ro...\n"
sleep 2
mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
echo -e "DONE.\n"
Otherwise the code worked well for me. Great work LGSilva.

I was having problems with SU thats why lol I'll fix it and try this again and update when I'm done

Thank you dog77k for the suggestions.
I've updated the script with them and also added a 2sec pause after mounting it as RW just in case...
Files with version 1.1 updated on the first post, no need to reinstall SL4A.

tested and seemed to run just fine on build 104. thanks for the awesome script! very cool

Thank you!
+1 to both of you, thanks for the great scripting solution.

Credits: Firstly, I thank member’s such as Skin,Vivek,Amit,trip,ron for their work and motive towards the project regarding our phones..
Note: This post has been heavily edited from it’s previous XXKPE RootExploitGuide. This was edited to make deodexing easier for newbies who are new to this.
Great Success .
Deodexing
-NOTE: The Already Deodexed files are placed in the download section, This will save a great amount of time, If you have downloaded the already deodexed files, proceed with Step
1. At this point before you start you must be rooted via SOC or any method you preferred. And you must have Busybox, If you use/flash Skin's CWM or Amit's version they already contain Busybox so your ready to go.
2. Once you've gotten the green signal , Copy done_app and done_frame to your sdcard *Download link in the downloads section* , not external_sd. Disconnect VIA storage and connect via Debugging mode.
3. Launch cmd by pressing Window Key+ R and type "cmd"
4. Launch adb by copying the path of adb into command prompt till it appears something like this
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Note: location may differ based on where you downloaded adb into.
5. Then type adb shell
6. Type
Code:
adb shell
$ su
# stop
# mount -o remount rw /system
# rm /system/app/*.odex
# rm /system/framework/*.odex
# cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
# cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
# mount -o remount ro /system
# reboot
7. After this , Voila you are deodexed!.
- credits to Skin1980 for this.
Note: This is compatible with XXKPE+XXKPH
1. Install a root app such as Root Explorer
2. Navigate to your system/framework and copy android.policy.jar and back it up.
3. Copy and paste the attached to your system/framework and replace file.
4. Reboot

Yes because all the files we edit are in the odex file
So to install any modes we must dedox(combine jar or apk with corresponding odex file)

actually you haven't deodexed you only removed the odex file that doesn't mean you have deodexed.
by doing these 2 operations
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
you are removing the odex files form the app & framework directory
but the next two steps are not working
so the files from the done_app and done_frame are not copying
so you cannot boot because of the error while copying(no files are copied)
this is the problem i am facing Too

after deodexing are you copying the done_app and done_frameworks folders to your internal or external sd card...if you have copied it to external sd card its wrong...copy the folders to internal sd and give it a try

To avoid getting CP error's use stericsons from the market.

[GUIDE] hOw TO Deodex JB firmware (I9070)

GUIDE
This is a guide to help you de-odex your Jellybean odexed firmware.
As X-ultimate is not working on jellybean firmwares and @Agadoo spends a lot of time deodexing every firmware, I thought this guide can help a lot of people including @Agadoo.
THINGS TO REMEMBER :-
1. I AM “ NOT AT ALL RESPONSIBLE” FOR ANY SOFT-BRICKS OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES TO YOUR PC OR PHONE
2. WHEN YOU DEODEX YOUR FIRMWARE, SYSTEM WILL WRITE “.dex” FILES IN /data/dalvik-cache, WHICH WILL REDUCE SPACE IN THAT FOLDER.
3.YOU WILL READ THE WHOLE THREAD CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.
There is a simple way to deodex your firmware i.e. using universal deodexer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213235). Here, when I say simple, I mean the download and setup of this program is simple.
But a few features are missing in it. Firstly it cannot zipalign after deodexing the firmware. The second problem is a major problem , as far as I think. We have preload partition and a system partition in our phone. The “.apk” and “.odex” files stored in the preload partition, have symlinks in the system folder. It means there are a few “.apk” and “.odex” files in the system folders which are not actually applications but symlinks of those apps in preload folder. So you need to manually sort them out, which is a real pain in your a**. But don’t worry, the below mentioned method is different.
ANOTHER way to deodex, like Universal deodexer....... Carbonite tool (credits- adityaf) --- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226160 (ty kingbabasula)
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
This method uses android kitchen (by dsixda) to deodex the firmware. SO ALL THE CREDITS GO TO HIM. Original thread ------- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Setup looks complex because I have given a detailed explanation on how to do it.
The guide is in two parts. First part in first post and the second in the second post.
PART - 1
PREREQUISITES :- (installing cygwin and android kitchen)
1.LATEST VERSION OF JAVA SHOULD BE INSTALLED ON YOUR PC.
2.CYGWIN……….
Go to (http://www.cygwin.com) and download the LATEST setup.exe file TO AVOID ERRORS. (Remember to install in C:\cygwin) SEE BELOW, HOW TO INSTALL.
************************************************************************************************************
Cygwin instructions for dsixda's Android Kitchen
-------------------------------------------------
1) Run the Cygwin setup.exe and select the defaults for the installation paths, such as:
- install from internet
- install to C:\cygwin
2) At the 'Select Packages' screen, go to the 'Search' box to look for the following package:
* gcc4 (found under 'Devel')
- Click on the '+' symbol at the section it's found under
NOTE:- IN THE SELECT PACKAGE SCREEN, UNTICK "HIDE OBSOLETEPACKAGES" IN BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, AND THEN SEARCH FOR "gcc4".
..................Now it would be found under "_obsolete" and not under DEVEL...... (thanks bob for pointing)
- Then find this single package (only the one with this exact name, not multiple similarly-named ones!) and click 'Skip' once so that it changes to show a version number
Go back to the Search box and repeat the above steps for the rest of the packages:
* libmpfr4 (found under 'Libs')
* perl (found under 'Interpreters')
* cpio (found under 'Utils')
* util-linux (found under 'Utils')
* ncurses (found under 'Utils')
* zip (found under 'Archive')
* unzip (found under 'Archive')
* wget (found under 'Web')
3) Press Next to proceed installing these packages.
4) When installation has been completed, click on your new Cygwin desktop shortcut. This will open a terminal session that will run some initialization.
5) With the Cygwin terminal still open, we need to configure the path to the Java application so that it can be executed within Cygwin.
In the terminal, type the command 'java' (without quotes). If it says 'command not found', then read the below. Otherwise, skip this section.
First, make a backup of your .bash_profile file in case you make a mistake later in this procedure.
Enter the following in the terminal:
cp .bash_profile .bash_profile.backup
Next, find out where your java.exe file is and run the appropriate command to add it to your Cygwin path.
For example, my java.exe is found under C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin, so I had to type:
echo "PATH=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Java/jre7/bin:\${PATH}" >> .bash_profile
Modify the command above so that it matches the actual path to your installed Java.
Remember to add a "\" character before any spaces in your path, as shown above.
Type the following so that the file gets loaded (you only need to do this once):
source .bash_profile
There should not be any errors displayed if successful.
(Otherwise, if you made an error in the .bash_profile file, restore your backup by typing: cp .bash_profile.backup .bash_profile, and then try the procedure again)
If done correctly, then when you type 'java' it should display some help information.
6) Your Cygwin is now ready for the kitchen!
************************************************************************************************************
3. Now download the kitchen from dsixda’s github https://github.com/dsixda/Android-Kitchen/tags. (Click the zip option.)
4. Now create a folder kitchen inside C:\cygwin\home\ and extract the kitchen’s zip in that folder. Your kitchen is setup now.

HOW TO DEODEX :-
Requirements……………….
1. Download this zip file which contains two windows application files and updater script. LINK------ http://db.tt/T9Tooxy8
a. Linux disk internals - Install this file.
b. SGS2ext - Just keep it.
c. META-INF - Just keep it.
2. WinRAR
Procedures…………………….
1.Download the Samsung firmware that you want to deodex and Extract the “system.img.md5” and “hidden.img.md5” from the firmware(.tar.md5) with WinRAR. I suggest you extract it in new clean folder. Just minimize this folder.
2.Now right click SGS2ext.jar and open it with java. A window will open. Now drag the system.img.md5 (that you have extracted) from the minimized folder to this window. Let it complete fully. After that reopen SGS2ext do the same with hidden.img.md5. You will get two files in that folder i.e. “system.img.ext4.img” and “hidden.img.ext4.img”.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3.Make a folder by name “WORKING_deodex” inside C:\cygwin\home\****\kitchen\. The word “WORKING_” should be in capital letters. Copy the META-INF folder that you downloaded to the “WORKING_deodex” folder. Create two new folders inside “WORKING_deodex” folder namely “system” and “preload”.
4.Search and Open the application “DiskInternals Linux Reader”. Select mount image from the left pane. Select raw disk images and click next. Browse and select “system.img.ext4.img”. This file will then be mounted. Inside the mounted folder, click only the “app” and “framework” folder and save it inside C:\cygwin\home\****\kitchen\WORKING_deodex\system
Do the same with with “hidden.img.ext4.img” file. But this time after mounting, save only the symlink folder to C:\cygwin\home\****\kitchen\WORKING_deodex\preload.
5. Now open cygwin terminal from desktop. Remember to run this as an administrator.
Then type “cd kitchen”.
Now type command “./menu”. You will enter android rom kitchen.
Go to “advanced options” and select deodex files.
IN THIS SCREEN SELECT THE OPTION "v" TO SET API.
SET API TO "16" as we are deodexing 4.1.2 firmware. (THANKS BOB AGAIN)
Then Deodex both app and framework folders.
Android kitchen will do the rest automatically. It will take a few minutes to complete.
6. After that go to
C:\cygwin\home\****\kitchen\WORKING_deodex\META-INF\com\google\android and open the updater script with notepad++.
In this file check if all the “.apk” files in preload partition are symlinked. Otherwise just add following line with the apk name from preload.
For example if there is Gmail.apk inside preload, then to symlink it write :-
symlink("/preload/symlink/system/app/Gmail.apk", "/system/app/Gmail.apk");
7. Now select the option to create a rom from working folder and select interactive mode.
It will first zipalign rom, compress it and sign the zip file.
Then transfer it to your sdcard and flash the file.
8. You can also push the files via adb
If you face any problem report it…………
Save @Agadoo’s data plan……

Thanks for this, appreciated. I am running into a puzzlement right from the start. When I get to the select packages part of the Cygwin Setup and search for the first package gcc4 there is nothing to select. I noticed before this step you have a bunch of sites to download from. I selected the first. See screenshot.

Wait, the gcc4 has become obsolete. Wait till i update the post. thanks for reporting.
EDIT:- In the screenshot you posted, untick the hide obsolete packages and then search for gcc4. But it wont be under devel, it will be under obsolete package. (remember that)

that's where I am at so far

Oh that is great!!! So I think the guide is complete now.
Tell me if the updater script is working properly.

Finished. Made the deodexed zip, followed the prompts in kitchen. Zipaligned, checked the update-script all was good. Signed zip took a bit of time, renamed it and put into my sd card. Started from scratch on phone with fresh install of XXLQG firmware, installed cocafe's 6.8 kernel/cwm, installed my deodexed firmware zip and phone rebooted fine and is deodexed. Preload, symlinks, apps, framework all are correct. Thanks for the guide and I can't think of anything else to add other than be patient, some steps take a while.

Well yes. Signing takes a bit of time. You can skip signing if you want.
Now, one more question. Totally off topic
Will you challenge Agadoo, in uploading the deodexed firmware.

First Lets know some Basic knowledge about DEODEX/ODEX...
What is Odex and Deodex ROM
What is an ODEX file?
In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk.
These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space.
These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting.
Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application.
On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
What is an DEODEX file?
Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files.
By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.
So, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place,
allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location,
custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity.
How this works?
For the majority noobs amongst us, Android OS uses a Java-based virtual machine called the Dalvik Virtual Machine.
A deodexed or .dex file contains the cache used by this virtual machine (referred to as Dalvik-cache) for a program, and it is stored inside the APK.
An .odex file, on the other hand, is an optimized version of this same .
dex file that is stored next to the APK as opposed to inside it.
Android applies this technique by default to all the system applications.
When an Android-based system is booting, the davlik cache for the Davlik VM is built using these .odex files, allowing the OS to learn in advance what applications will be loaded, and thus speeds up the booting process.
By deodexing these APKs, a developer actually puts the .odex files back inside their respective APK packages.
Since all code is now contained within the APK itself, it becomes possible to modify any application package without conflicting with the operating system’s execution environment.
Advanteges & Disadvantages
The advantage of deodexing is in modification possibilities.
This is most widely used in custom ROMs and themes. A developer building a custom ROM would almost always choose to deodex the ROM package first,
since that would not only allow him to modify various APKs, but also leave room for post-install theming.
On the other hand, since the .odex files were supposed to quickly build the dalvik cache, removing them would mean longer initial boot times.
However, this is true only for the first ever boot after deodexing, since the cache would still get built over time as applications are used.
Longer boot times may only be seen again if the dalvik cache is wiped for some reason.
Note:Themes for android come in APKs too, and if you want to modify any of those, you should always choose a dedoexed custom ROM.​
Lets Start...
GUIDE TO DEODEX STOCK ROM
Java Development KIT
(Download & Setup Guide)
ANDROID SDK
xUltimateV2.3.3
(only this version is capable with samsung device)
Official Link to xUltimate : POST #5
7-Zip
(32-Bit & 64-Bit)
1.Download android-sdk & extract it.
2.Copy sdk folder & paste it into
Code:
C:\Program Files\Android
3.Change name from SDK to Android.sdk.
(inside folder look like this)​
4.you need to flash stock firmware first & Root your device.​
5.Connect your phone to computer.(Make sure you have select USB debugging in Settings>Applications>Development)​
6.Download & extract xUltimate zip.
7.Launch Main.exe(Run as administrator)
8.If everything goes well xUltimate should recognize the phone and make a connection.You now should see a list of options.
9.Select option (1) pull /system/app. Wait until it complete.​
10.Select option (2)pull /system/framework. Wait until it complete.​
11..Then select option (3) Deodex /system/app. Wait until it complete.
[If encounter any error. Find out which .odex file is it. Then remove .odex file from folder origi_app in xUltimate folder]
(i found 5 errors so i attached that app's deodex files below you just want to paste in system/app when this process complete)​
12.Then select option (4)Deodex /system/framework. Wait until it complete.​
13.DONE : your rom is now deodex. Now Exit from xUltimate​
​
Now there are 2 ways to install deodex files in device
1. from Android.SDK
From Android.SDK :
1.Put the phone in USB mass storage.
2.Go to xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the sdcard.
3.Now get out from USB storage mode.
4.Go to
Code:
C:\Program Files\Android\android.sdk
& open command promote there.
5.Enter following codes.
(if you are using adb shell in su for the first time, keep phone screen on. After entering "su" code, super user request prompt in phone. Press allow )
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
6.Now you have deodexed rom.
​
2. from SampleDEODEX.zip file attached below.
From zip file attached
1.open zip given as archive.
(use 7.zip but DO NOT EXTRACT.)
2.go to system/app folder & paste here all your deodexed apk's
3.same for for system/framework to paste framework files.
4.done, paste it in your SD-Card & flash through CWM.
​
STILL IF YOU FACE ANY ERROR
Especially Android 4.1 + (JB) users
Try this method Updating xUltimate tool manually.
asm-xda said:
First of all, thx for the OP. This method for Deoexing works fine, I needed to make a few updates - described below - in order to make it work on my GT-P3113 device, running JB 4.2.2.
OK. So, you have already made sure JDK is properly installed but still can't succeed? Check the following... These are the changes I had to make to deodex my ROM.
1. Get the latest version of xUltimate. It's version 2.4.2: http://www.xeudoxus.com/android/xUltimate-v2.4.2.zip. If you got version 2.3.3 and accepted to download latest version, you were directed to a thread that is not updated with the latest version. Check post #549 on that thread to find the link I've pasted above.
2. If you happen to have Android 4.2.2 on your device, ADB needs to be updated. xUltimate has version 1.0.26 which won't properly connect with your device. NOTE: you can tell which version of adb you are using by running this: adb version
So:
Install the latest version of the Android SDK to get ADB version: 1.0.31 (or later, should be fine).
Locate and copy over these 3 files from the Adnroid SDK install folder into xUltimate-v2.4.2\jar replacing the existing ones:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
3. I don't know this step is a must for everyone, but it was for me. The assembler/deassembler for .dex file format must be upgraded too. The version in the jar folder in xUltimate-v2.4.2 didn't work fine with the .odex files in my stock ROM.
So:
Download smali.jar and baksmali.jar from here: https://code.google.com/p/smali/. I got version 1.4.2 but any above that should work fine too for the latest available ROMs I guess.
The 2 files probably include the version number in the filename ( i.e.: smali-1.4.2.jar and baksmali-1.4.2.jar). Rename them so they are called: smali.jar and baksmali.jar.
Copy (& replace) those 2 files into xUltimate-v2.4.2\jar folder.
So, that's it. After doing all the above, I managed to deodex my ROM. Well... not quite... there's something else.
After doing the steps above, you should go ahead and follow instructions in the first post of the thread. If everything works, then you are done! Say thanks to OP and enjoy your deodexed ROM. :good::victory:
If however, you still encounter errors while running the xUltimate tool, keep reading...
NOTE: The following is probably only true for certain devices (like mine) so disregard if you don't find any error while following OP steps to deodex.
I got into errors deodexing these files: SamsungIME, SecEmail_Tablet, SecSetting and SecExchange.
Since I couldn't find how to make them work, I decided to leave those files odexed. I'm not sure if that was a good idea or not, but it's fine for me because in my case I actually wanted to deodex some specific apks, not really all of them.
If you decide you want to skip some files (as I did), you'll need to proceed as follows:
Take note of the files that couldn't be deodexed and move those files from the orig_app or orig_frame folder into a new folders, let's call them: "no_deo_app" and "no_deo_frame". Ensure you move the .odex file + .jar file (in case it exists). Make really sure you move files into the right folder: "orig_app" into "no_deo_app" and "orig_frame" into "no_deo_frame".
Run the deodexing again until everything works fine. If you find another file that gives you problem, you do step 1 and 2 again until the tool completes all files successfully.
Now you have 4 folders that are relevant: "done_app", "done_frame", "no_deo_app", "no_deo_frame". Copy all of them into the root of your sdcard.
Now, get into adb shell as superuser access as described in OP following the commands below instead of the ones in the OP. Basically the difference will prevent you from deleting the odex file for the apps that couldn't be deodexed.
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
[COLOR="red"][B]cp /sdcard/no_deo_app/* /system/app/[/B][/COLOR]
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
[COLOR="Red"][B]cp /sdcard/no_deo_frame/* /system/framework/[/B][/COLOR]
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
Well, that was it for me . This is what I've done to doedex my stock JB 4.2.2 ROM my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 tablet.

well you just have to skip those apk's which cause these errors...
close this window, go in Orig_app folder & delete related apk + its .odex file & give another try.
if error appear in another apk do the same.
some apk's wont get deodex through this app you just have to delete those & move forward.
.

.
if u get error in each system apk then download older version's of xUltimate app from this POST #5​

Give a try my friend...
there is no way to brick your device .
you just have to put system & framework files in the pc & let xUltimate do the work.
if everything goes fine you get pair of folders deodex system apps & that of framework files .
put them to make flashable zip & there you go deodex stock rom.
everything will fine if u follow my steps.
if get any wrong (error) then its been in ur pc only not in ur phone ​

[TOOL][GUIDE] BareNox - Modded Nox Android Emulator

Hello Friends~!
Today I bring to you the Latest version of Nox, made portable, with a Cleaner Script to remove all the junk on your Main Machine as well as for Clones
DOWNLOAD BARENOX:
BareNox.zip (200M)
If you would rather build your own, I will now provide a written guide for how BareNox was built.
"BareNox" went through a lot of testing and a script was made to automate much of what is written below
Spoiler: WRITTEN GUIDE
Made using the latest version of Nox, which can be downloaded off the right side of this page:
System Requirements of Nox App Player – NoxPlayer
Open Nox's Multi Drive Manager and select "Add Emulator" and "Android 9" or whatever you prefer
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When it is done building the machine you need to click on settings and enable root.
Spoiler: HOW TO CLEAN THE PREINSTALLED MACHINE WITH AN APP (NOT RECOMMENDED)
This method is advised against, due to the amount of time it takes to physically remove each directory within the gui, when we could remove all of these directories with a simple script. The knowledge will still be provided to show what the adb method is doing for us.
Open Nox and install a launcher app like nova, and a root explorer by selecting the apk button on the right side panel.
Spoiler: PIC
If you need the apps:
Nova
nova.apk
drive.google.com
Root Explorer
RootExplorer.apk
drive.google.com
Now open Nox's settings by clicking on the gear icon at the top right.
We need to go into General, and then put a check on root.
Spoiler: PIC
Next click on the Gaming tab and enable high fps and rendering cache. This is to allow you to be able to play higher end mobile games
Spoiler: PIC
Save settings and restart the machine
Select Nova as the Launcher app always
Spoiler: PIC
Open root explorer. Grant Superuser access forever
Delete all the items highlighted in the pictures below and close the machine.
Spoiler: PIC
Spoiler: HOW TO CLEAN THE PREINSTALLED MACHINE WITH ADB (RECOMMENDED)
This comment explains it
Spoiler: HOW TO USE THE SCRIPT AND NOVA ON ANY VERSION OF NOX
Make a new machine and enable root in settings
Make a text file and call it run.bat
Paste in this code.
Code:
adb root
adb shell rm -r /system/app/AmazeFileManager
adb shell rm -r /system/app/AppStore
adb shell rm -r /system/app/BuiltInPrintService
adb shell rm -r /system/app/CarrierDefaultApp
adb shell rm -r /system/app/CompanionDeviceManager
adb shell rm -r /system/app/CtsShimPrebuilt
adb shell rm -r /system/app/EasterEgg

adb shell rm -r /system/app/PrintSpooler
adb shell rm -r /system/app/Traceur
adb shell rm -r /system/app/WallpaperBackup
adb shell rm -r /system/app/newAppNameEn
adb install nova.apk

Works pretty well for me, except for trying open the multiple instances. I've wiped things clean a couple times and even tried on my other pc. Luckily the app I was trying to install had an x86 version so it'll do for now. I'll have to look into it when I have a bit more time.
Thanks for the post!

NotNox has had a Proper Update and is now at V2 "BareNox"
Includes the cleaning script commented on earlier.
Spoiler: HOW TO USE BARENOX
UPDATED 08/04/2022
BareNox.zip

(196.2 MB ZIPPED)
Open BareNox and then bin, run MultiplayerManager.exe and add new emulator of choice
The first time you make a machine, nox will have to dl the "base" of the android version you selected from nox's servers. You only have to do this the first time you try to create an android 9 or 7 machine. You will then be able to create clones quickly as the BareNox folder will now contain the base disk and data folder.
Make sure to click on the gear icon and enable Root in system settings before running the machine
Run the remove.bat script when this lady appears on your new machine (this is when you have full read write access)
This will go through and remove the crap apps and install nova launcher for us
Spoiler: HOW TO CLEAN THE PREINSTALLED MACHINE (OR CLONES) WITH ADB
Spoiler: WRITTEN GUIDE
Go into the Binary folder of Nox or Not Nox and add a new text file called remove, paste NOVA.APK into this folder as well
Paste the contents of the script into the remove file
change the file extension from txt to .bat by renaming the file
add a new emulator and wait for it to make it to this screen, you need to hit Login later in order to get full Root, otherwise our batch will fail.
Run the remove.bat file after hitting Login Later and waiting for the garena lady to appear
this is what will be shown as the batch runs, don't do anything the machine will reset itself
select nova always and you're all set!

Spoiler: HOW THE NOX ADB SCRIPT WAS MADE
Hello Friends! I have created a guide on how to make your own Script to clean up your Nox machines (pre-installed and clones)~! Please note there is much much more that you can do here, this is just to teach you the basics to help you come up with interesting ideas!!
This video is Nerd Knowledge, and unneeded for folks that just want to quickly clean up their clones. Check out the next comment for the quick cleaning method
"BareNox" has this batch file pre-installed for your convenience

Note that:
THIS IS NOT A PREINSTALLED MACHINE, like "NotNox".
You will have to use multiplayermanager and add a new emulator with your choice of android version.
The first time you make a machine, nox will have to dl the "base" of the android version you selected from nox's servers. You only have to do this the first time you try to create an android 9 or 7 machine.

@HoangNK I apologize, I didn't mean to dismiss your VT error, I sincerely thought it was due to that mode not being enabled on the user end.
I now realize, after reinstalling windows on my laptop which has vt enabled, that I did indeed create this error. I didn't realize it at the time due to sharding, as I had nox installed in the main directory as well as the portable, so I didn't notice the problem.
I have rebuilt and verified BareNox, here's the new dl link:

For anyone Still experiencing the "VT Error" check your Windows Features settings. I unintentionally caused this error to myself while playing with WSL. Open up windows Features and uncheck these options, then reset

Something to consider about Emulators, they can be used to program virtual machines that have windows preinstalled faster usually than on your android device. Then you could pull your machine from the emulator and port over to any android device. I'm working on a detailed guide but it will take some time as I work to make the virtual machine's parameters more feasable for work use, i.e. a 10gb max hdd is not gonna suffice~!

A note to anyone checking this out from this date forward, Nox has had an update since I wrote the script. So when barenox downloads the android image from nox's server, they are different than before. Meaning that Even though one selects ROOT on startup, the ADB will not recognize the READ WRITE status thus rendering the .REMOVE.bat script useless for the time being. The adb root command does not help, I didn't bother to su into the shell bc the time factor, I could just delete in root explorer
A TLDR use the manual removal method with root explorer and manually install nova as the original thread shows how to do if you want to remove the crapware.
I'm not going to update the script, instead I am going to stop being lazy and just make my own emulators in android studio and share some builds in another thread. I'll leave a comment below whenever that happens.

Listen Linda.
I found an Amazing OS that I am trying to work out a few kinks for. It runs in vmware, has root, can play the games, has a traditional desktop feel, can run multiple apps in separate windows.
It's called prime os! I am not a creator. Just a testing a producto~!
I will make a new thread with prebuilt images of this and like 5 other prebuilt android x86_64/ chrome os forked os's that I played with this week. Putting out the word about prime in case anyone has any ideas how to get openvmtools or vmware tools to work on here. I am trying to build a stack in termux to accomplish this myself, key word trying. Maybe someone knows how.
other os's tested and built -- may add more if I find them
google chrome os - cloudready version
bliss os
android x86_64 9.0
flint os
fyde os

Spoiler: notes
as an Edit ---I am well aware that the tools are not "officially supported" so lets make them work anyway ok
This is 12 years old but still relevant
'As an update, I was able to locate the vmware tools iso for pre glibc linux distros (like our android vms) It comes with vmware workstation 17
had to pkg install tsu then run this command and am a step closer
I went through and pointed the script to the requested binary's location /system/bin/more and the others all for the most part in bin with depmod being in xbin. the program seemed to have an error at the end. going to take all the requested binaries out from system now and add them to the vmtools folder
using root explorer can copy the binaries from bin into the vmtools folder

So here's my notes on getting vmware tools to work in the android emulator.
In vmware tools on your windows pc there are isos that contain the tools.
Inside the iso is a file like this. extract it and extract the file it makes
So here is what I did, You can see the tools have an etc folder and a bin folder. and in pictures in the notes comment above, we know that the tools need certain binaries to run, or access to.
It is not just enough to point the tools to the /system/bin/binaryname because the stock binaries aren't executable.
So I obtained all the binaries the code calls for and put them into the bin folder of the tools.
I also built the missing directories such as /var/log
i changed the name of install-vmwaretools.pl to run.pl and added mkdir codes for the needed folders
Now running perl run.pl gives this interesting error
Anyone have any ideas?
It also really Did create that many folders, haha

hey there.. is there still possible to use your script to use older version of noxplayer and make that work? i get it that no more noxplayer updates will be compatible. but, that is just perfect for me.
i used noxplayer every day since 2016 and run 12 instances. it was and still is Ver. 3.8.3.1
but google as of last month has now removed games that is no longer supported by the google play.. so no more game updates for me. so i have no other choice to upgrade too.. i had off course followed guides and hacked it.. so no adds what so ever.. so hoping that you can still your very useful software to get rid of ads and malwares that they usually bring to free version.
thank you

@noxlar2 anything is possible, however i would need a copy of the version you want to fix to be able to advise better. as far as the current version i will for sure look at fixing the script for it tomorrow. kinda got super carried away on other projects and should take the time

@jenneh
wow.. fast reply back. well, just buildt me a new pc.. so, it will be with a fresh win11 and fresh noxplayer.. so i have no idea what version i must choose.. i will have my old pc system untouched in case of fall back on nox.p.. reason i always used the version i did was because of superior stability vs recent (back then + few years forwards)
also i did test latest free version on my minipc.. and it worked great as well. but, i have not done extensive testing so i don't know.

@noxlar2 Hey Congratulations on your new PC! That's always an amazing feeling. Thank you for clarifying which version. I was able to successfully get the script working again on the Latest nox and Lol it was silly, all the script needed was "adb root" added to the top.
i had to do the VT-Error fix bc of playing with WSA
got the original barenox updated -- link in the op and HERE Just remember to select root in settings before running the machine or the script wont work
