I'm really confused about the Odexed and Deodexed version of clean rom.
I'm using the Deodexed version and I wonder if I can flash the Odexed one without wipe the internal data or system.
And the last question, which kind of kernel can be optimized for Odexed version?

You can flash one over the other. The system partition is formatted anyway by installing the ROM, and the data partition is unaffected.
The kernel could not care less about odex or not, it just runs programs. And even the Dalvik VM, which does care about odex, just creates its own odex files for a deodexed ROM at the first startup and puts them into dalvik-cache, so after that process there is no more difference between the two in actual code execution.
That means I can install any kind of kernel for Odexed version?

Sure, any that is generally compatible with your Android version and hardware of course.
Yep, I'm using Asus Infinity. So I've heard a lots about Odexed version so I want to give it a try. Thanks for your answer.

With all the information I got in this community I've cooked up my own ROM. I decided to share it, maybe someone would like it.
I am no dev, so this isn't actually a true custom ROM.
What I've done:
I've flashed the latest Gingerbread leak
I rooted it
I installed Defy Bootmenu
I installed Busybox
I installed GApps (including new Talk with voice/video chat - working)
I deleted BLUR social capabilities
I haven't done anything fancy, such as overclocking/undervolting, multitouch enablers etc. If you want those, you should use MS2Ginger from Walter79... Or you can install those options by yourself offcourse
If you'd like the stock Gingerbread ROM from Moto, but without the "social" capabilities, I've got this option for. I'm not exactly planning on supporting it too much (Gonna take a holiday and preparing for final year of study...)
However I might try to get rid of annoying bugs if they occur. The Euro key doesn't work by the way. I know that but I forget to fix it every time
As far as I can tell everything works fine on my UK Milestone 2.
Download:
10-09-2011: v3
24-08-2011: v2.1 (With undervolt)
24-08-2011: v2
13-08-2011: v1
Installation:
Extract the archive on your SDCard: sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/DeBlurred
Reboot in CWM (Via BootMenu you should choose custom recovery)
Go to backup and restore
Go to restore
Select the folder which contains the Nandroid: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/DeBlurred
Confirm installation
Wipe dalvik-cache
Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you're already on Rooted Gingerbread, you could only restore the system.img from the download.
By the way: even though it isn't necessary, I suggest a cache wipe from Motorola Recovery after you've installed the Nandroid. If you don't, the first boot might take a while and some compatibility issues might occur, as this ROM has Blur completely disabled.
Note to FroYo users:
You can't simply install this Nandroid and expect your Milestone 2 to boot! It will not work that way.
If you're on FroYo you should do the following after wiping the dalvik cache(Step 7):
Reboot into Bootloader mode
Flash FixedSBF: http://www.multiupload.com/KL6LSHIRCS
After this the phone will reboot automatically. First boot can take a long while if you didn't wipe data/cache.

Known Issues said:
When dialing in or out, sometimes Chinese characters appear in Dialer screen.
Sometimes when being called, the phone can't link the number of the incoming phone call with someone in the contacts list. E.g. the number +31612345678 isn't recognized as the 0612345678, even though it's the same.

Thanks for this rom
Have you edited build.prop to properly deactivate blur?
I think you don't need to do a full data wipe (even when upgrading from froyo), a Dalvik cache wipe is just fine. Wipe some buggy apps data if they are force closing or reinstall them.
@Milestone 2 (Finnaly on Gingerbread!)
How much free ram are you getting with this kind of roms?
Will i be able to restore my nandroid data backup from the 2.2 rom?
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA App
@will5: Yes, I used the Build.prop edit to deactivate Blur. Most of the Blur Social apps also have been removed, except for exchange, yahoo and e-mail.
With a clean install you'll get to choose which of those accounts you want to add.
A clean install used about 150MB after boot. Right now I've got 15 apps installed and now it uses about 210MB of RAM
@imakdevries: You can try! Booting might take a while in that case and you might find that some apps/configuration doesn't work well, but that shouldn't be the case.
If it doesn't work, you can do a factory reset, after which your phone will boot this ROM clean.
I'm in ms2ginger
How do I install this?
Will it change the framework-res.apk?
I really unlike the ms2ginger framework-res.apk
Thanks
Sent from my Milestone 2 with GingerBread
I have added an installation guide to the OP.
As for your question about framework-res.apk: this ROM will completely overwrite MS2Ginger, including framework-res.apk.
It will revert back to the way Motorola intended (sans Blur Social capabilities offcourse )
so can I just restore the system.img without flash the froyo and data wipe?
Thank you so much. I will flash this rom to my m2
@tapatalk
Any way to get more languages on this ROM?
Thanks

I didnt understand pretty well the way morelocale works. It only shows english and chinese, but you can enter PT, FR, SP and languages changes (partially). it's the proper way to use morelocale or im missing something?
I upgrade from froyo... I don't need to flash chinese leak before?

No, you have to flash the GB fixed SBF after restoring the nandroid.
Edit: You don't need to do a factory reset, just wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

I have modded gingerbread little bit to enable a2sd, zipaligned apps, pre rooted
there is no change in the ui or frameworks
the bootanimation is changed
there you go,
the file!
normal installation through cwm
hope you like it!
Good Job.
If you're not planning on working on it further, I'll suggest adding that to the post.
ext4, and which version of GB KQ5 or KT1 ??

Can you please replace back the original bootanim, if it isn't much of a hassle to you???
Then people can use this as their backup rom, like when they want to give the phone to samsung for hardware repair or stuff like that...
P.s. This is just a request
hi
Ive just installed Cleanrom, and it seems slower than the stock rom i used before.
I wonder if i should have done a system format in cwm, as doing this for Slimbean on my SGS helped quite a bit...
thanks

Format system is when you delete your ROM, if you want a clean install, yeah you should format system. This also depends on what ROM you want to flash. If you're going to flash stock, format system is good. I do it all the time when I flash stock
But I can also do it whatever the rom, right ? I mean if I upgrade from Cleanrom from 3.03 to 3.04, I cannot go wrong doing that ? (although they don't talk about formatting system in the guidelines).
Thank you

format system basically deletes all your system apps, which really isn't worth to do in an update from v3.0.3 to 3.0.4 - if it's a big update with many more apps included maybe it's worth, but otherways it's waste of time...

System app? When I use twrp it said wipe system removes ROM, I guess on cwm is called format system.
Well, I guess "format system" should format system (=wipe the os i guess), not remove apps...

Guess so, I guess its no problem to overwrite CWM with TWRP (as long as I load the right version, that is, JB as im on Cleanrom Inheritance 2.7.2)...
Format system on twrp and cwm means the same thing.
When you flash any ROM, all it does is place everything in the /system partition, and sometimes a kernel is also flashed.. this partition contains all files that make up android. All the apps that come with roms, all mods, themes, framework.. everything is here.
When /system is wiped, it deletes all these files to make way for a new rom. Most roms wipe system automatically when they get flashed anyway :good:
However, I think that cleanrom 3.0.3 is a dependancy for 3.0.4, this means that 3.0.4 requires the 3.0.3 system files to work properly. Check the cleanrom changelog or install instructions

I'm sorry, I was thinking of /system/app lol
I think the updates should rule that themselves that they delete the unnecessary things of an old version, so it's only recommended if you change your ROM or update to a ROM based on a later Android Version (4.1 to 4.2 or vice versa) or from AOSP to stock...
Otherwise it's just waste of time I think, I never used it and never had problems, so I think it's pretty good ruled in the updater scripts of the ROMs
I have deodexed the system files for 4.1.2 and 4.2.2. They are in flashable zips if you wish to flash onto your tablet (if you can). Delete all the .odex files from system/app and system/framework; flash the zip; wipe dalvik cache and reboot. If you get any unusual FCs, re-wiping the dalvik cache will most likely solve the problem.
These are based off the SGP311 (US) firmwares, so I don't know if they'll work on SGP32X (LTE) models. If you have a SGP312 you should be fine with these.
4.1.2 (10.1.C.0.370)

Part 2
Part 3
Download all three parts, and unzip using WinRAR (or a similar program). The flashable zip is inside the rar file.
Hopefully we can start seeing the Themes and Apps section liven up with some mods and themes soon!
Even though I don't have the device yet, I will try to make some simple mods... Very very simple for now, but.. Well thanks, Ddc

So CWM, Flash, wipe, boot, delete odex files (root explorer?), cwm to wipe, then boot?
That easy? This isn't like a full ROM?

Odexing is where a ROM is distributed with parts of its apps already decompliled so that they run faster. When android runs an app it decompiles it "on the go" when it needs it. So odexing apps helps them run faster, but makes it hard to theme apps as they are split up. As far as I know all HTC ROMs are odexed these days.
A system dump ROM is simply a ROM that was on a phone system partition, but has been dumped (taken from the phone and placed onto a SD card or computer) and has been worked to make it flash able.
