What's the difference between an odexed rom and a deodexed rom???
And how do I find out whether my rom is deodexed or not??

There is more technical explanation to this, but the easiest way to find out is to use root and root explorer and in your phone's /system/app normally you have the .apk and coresponding .odex to every application inside your phone. Deodexed rom (mostly Custom Rom) don't have .odex files.
Deodexed is like decompiling the application (java..etc.) and recompiling it at the same time so that the apps will work even without the .odex file. Once your rom is deodexed you can modify the look of your phone, like adding custom theme for example. this is AFAIK.
If you have a stock rom (original or update), it's not deodexed, unless it is indicated when you downloaded it.

What is the purpose of the .odex files?

I know very little but .odex files have something to do with dalvic cache.
This is the reason deoxed roms takes longer time to boot for the first time than odexed rom because they need to create dalvic cache for each app however odexed rom don't.
My knowledge is very little so I might be wrong.

Odex ROMs have their main files moved to another area for faster booting while when you deodex the ROM these files are compiled back inside the APK....
To know weather your phone is Deodexed or Odex, just open Root Explorer app and navigate to "/system/app" and check if there files with ".odex" extension....
If yes then your ROM is Odex
Otherwise, your ROM is Deodexed....
The benefits of having a Odex ROM :
1. More space in "/data" partition.
2. First boot is faster.
The benefits of having a Deodex ROM :
1. You can customize the ROM the way you want without worrying about odexes....

thanks mate nice info

Thanks a Bunch!!

Deodexed roms are better...

But what if we flashed a odexed only zip file with CWM on a deodexed rom, will it harm the phone or it's ok?!

Depends upon what file it is.....
Mostly it may get stuck at boot animation.....

worst case scenario, you may have to reflash your rom...
75% of the time, stuff for odexed roms won't work on deodexed roms and vice-versa...
and most of the cwm flashable zips are for deodexed roms, where did you find one for odexed one??

As old people know, Samsung contacts can only join 5 contacts from social app into one

It should work on ODEX ROMs just need to manually delete Contacts.ODEX and ContactsProviders.ODEX
Thanks to cotchan for Testing ,, it works 100%

Would it be able to handle different dpi? I am using 240. Just want to make sure it doesn't screw up the dialer because of the dpi.

Since it modifies Contacts.apk and ContactsProvider.apk, would suggest to provide a method to integrate to other custom ROMs ?

[MOD] Ported "Note 2 Camera" 22.10. 30Mbit/192kbit/Hardkey-Vol.UP/SLOW/FAST MOTION
Hi Guys I have decided to port this mod from a great dev in the I9300 forum called HyperX (Thank you)
This is VERSION 1.52 for DEODEXED ROMS
Extra options compared to the stock Sg3 Cam
also
Dont worry if you dont see the pause button when recording, I was told note 2 took out the soft button, So to pause Press Vol down, Resume Vol UP.
Good thing about this is it uses hard keys for different things Eg; the volume up key also acts like the optional camera clicker. Like a real camera There are more visit the original thread for more details
Here is the details in the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691145
Again thanks HyperX
Instructions very simple:
Simply copy the zip to your phone
Reboot into recovery
choose the zip file & flash
Reboot & DONE

whats the difference from his to yours? does HyperX version does not work on I9305 and yours does?

Its not mine its his i just made it flashable simply changing partition location

No imeant to download it so you can extract the camera apk from it and use it. Its also good to have that bckup incase you have another problem like this, all the stock apks are in that

gotcha..cheers :good:

If you are on a stock odexed rom then you will need to delete the .odex file for what is being replaced in both system/app and framework.
So looking in the zip you will need to delete samsungcamera.odex from system/app and seccamera.odex from system/framework.
If you don't want to remove those two files then you will need the samsungcamera.apk and seccamera.jar from a stock odexed rom not a deodexed rom because that is not going to make any difference because when the rom is deodexed it combines the .apk or .jar together with the .odex where as an odexed system has the .odex and .apk or .jar seperate.

Yes I know that. But internet is not cheap here and I don't want to download 800MB just to extract 20MB. It's a waste of time and bandwidth. That's why I've asked a help here.
Anyway thanks for the response.

hmm ok. i would have pasted it but i dont have it. did you try in the XXLC deodexed rom thread in Adnroid Dev section? may be someone can help there

I'm now on SVA ROM not alliance ROM. I like his ROM but hate AVA theme. So I wanted to switch back to Stock look. That's why I asked those two files.
In SVA SystemUI is in /system/app/ . I just create a CWM file to copy these two files to relevant folders. But after flashing it I got a bootloop. Actually what I noticed is, Framework-res you provide and he provide are different. That's why I asked that question.
I'm actually not a ROM or MODs dev. So I might did some mistakes when flashing.
Actually I'm not 100% satisfied with current situation as well because even I got the stock look but now S Pen is not working ( S Pen is kind of getting stuck ). I don't know WHY

I didn't flash mod with more toggles. I've only themed one. He has changed almost all colors in SystemUI

I think you could ask in his thread for stock theme as to theme his rom he might do change some files not only 1 or 2 of them
I do not use SVA rom but believe he has the option for choosing theme in the last release

This is for deodexed Rom. If you are still odexed then after you flash this mod simply go to system/framework and rename android.policy.jar.odex to android.policy.jar.odex.bak or simply delete the file.

If the root is not yet achieved for the Verizon Galaxy S5 regular edition and not the Developer Edition, how can this be done. This must be specifically for the developer edition.

THU! If you know this can't be done without root then it makes sense the OP is missing the DEV only.

What is the icon package and launcher you have one this pic?
