What is ODEX and DEODEX?
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 applicationsdifficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
THEN COMES DEODEX
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 theworry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.
In summary, 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. So:
Odex = +speed -customization
Deodex = -speed +customization
I think that you like more speed and less customization (less costumization for dev because is to difficult mod an odex file)
So that's why I just odex my Google edition rom with this and you can read the whole thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390162
Note, it's wise to odex just your system apps. Not data but that's up to you.
I was always under the impression that deodexed apks are only slower on first boot/run. After that, everything is loaded into cache and deodexed is the same speed.
Is that incorrect?

Most of the sources I googled about odex and deodexed came up with this explanation. So we could probably assume that it's correct. I've run a couple of odexed roms on my Gnex and most recently, the S4. My personal opinion? I really see no difference at all in terms of UI, there's probably a difference when it comes to loading apps but if there is I hardly notice it at all.
In addition most deodexed roms are zipaligned and the result being the apps consuming less ram. More ram = more cached apps, cached apps = faster loading of apps.
Again this is all just my opinion.

Samsung always releases a firmware ODEX based.
Basically ODEX is always faster, but as the S4 is really quick anyway you will not notice if you are running a deodexed firmware/rom i.m.h.o.
Another personal opinion is that all mods can be converted to odex again, just look at the released framework of JKAY. Heavy mods on that and still he releases a deodexed and odexed based version.
If the maker of a mod cannot provide you with a odexed version then maybe he is not that good..... (no bashing intended)

this is an updated* version of my framework mod that adds reboot (normal, hboot, recovery) option to the power-button menu on htc sense based desire roms
*: a new option ('hot restart') has been added that will allow you to respawn android's system server process, thereby starting with a "clean system" w/o actually rebooting the device (credits to xda member appelflap for the idea, you can have a look at his app 'hot reboot' here. i took a slightly different approach to killing the process but the basics remain the same)
enjoy
requirements:
htc sense based desire (froyo) rom (HD VERSION HERE)
deodexed framework libs
busybox with pkill support (or any other pkill implementation, accessible in $path)
how to install:
please make sure your device/setup meets the requirements above
check your framework build number (settings >> about phone >> software information >> build number)
download the archive that matches your build number
copy it to your sdcard and flash it in recovery mode (as always, it is advisable to do a nandroid backup prior flashing)
impact:
a framework lib (/system/framework/android.policy.jar) will be overwritten
the first boot after flashing this may take a (long) while (dexopt will be busy)

source code, porting to other htc devices:
due to the nature of the hack (patching a htc-modified, closed source framework lib) there is no "source code" for it
obviously, i also can't provide a smali patch applicable for any framework version / htc device
for reference, i've attached the smali patch for my own device/setup
it doesn't take a great deal to understand it, porting should be relatively straightforward. you should also take into account that string/icon resource ids may vary between different framework versions, and that some versions don't support com.android.internal.app.ShutdownThread.reboot()

Works on my Desire with LeeDrOiD V2.1a with Base HTC RUU 2.10.405.2.
But: after every hot reboot the function keys remain lit after the first power off (automatic or manual). After the 2nd, 3rd etc. power off not anymore. Very odd.

preludedrew,Benice20,i33tlinux4xor & tjohnsonjr!Thanks for all the HELP!
This ROM BASE is a stock Sense build! ALL Base Work done by: (aamikam)!
Now... what was done here was basically rebuilding all of the ROM's apks and frameworks to remove all of the useless extra languages that were inside.
This resulted in much smaller apk sizes and resources.arsc files inside the apk's (up to 10 times smaller).
As a result of having smaller apk's loading times are faster and the ROM size is smaller.
All that is followed by the system consuming less RAM and that can easily be translated into better battery life!
Also, (aamikam) changed all of the drawing methods from "fill_parent" to "match_parent" because he saw on the android dev website that using the "fill_parent" method should not be used starting android 2.2 (feel free to checkout the android dev website to see more details).
All of these changes should result in the fastest HTC Sense ROM thats is out now.
Keep in mind that its a Stock ROM so (aamikam) only made a few tiny changes to it besides the fact the 95% of the apk's and framework are rebuilt by him!
As a side note... please understand that if u flash any themes over this rom it will take away the optimization he made cuz all the themes that r out right now still have all of the localization files in their apk's which will make my optimization of the apk useless!

Google Search and its widget are both fully removed from this ROM, so inherently that would be the cause of the problem.

Thanks for the comment guys, glad this ROM can help.
I did not remove HtcFacebook.apk because it is used solely for sync purposes and is part of the framework; built into certain menus.
HTC's version of the facebook app is FriendStream, which I have removed. And of course I removed the actual Facebook.apk app.
I just wanted to clarify this for others that may read through this thread.
Further reading for anyone that's curious about this kind of thing:
HtcFacebook.apk, Flickr.apk, and SocialNetworkProvider.apk are all aquainted. The first two are used for syncing purposes; photos, contacts, etc. The latter is the provider. These are not actual "apps" persay, but are ingrained into the OS. For instance, go into the Gallery, tap menu, and select settings. Notice "Facebook" and "Flickr" in there? Removing the three APKs above will NOT remove these options from the settings menu. It's in the framework.
That is not to say however that it not safe to remove those APKs. It is in-fact safe to remove them. Many people do without consequence. I personally prefer to leave them intact. They are dormant unless you use them to sync with those services. And because they are so tiny their impact on your available internal storage is nill.

Yes this little guy is AMAZING on battery life. Not to mention the remarkable stability and smooth operation.
For instance I'm currently roughly at 50% battery left while on the battery 1d 12+ hrs. I've had calls, lots of texting, a little gaming, web browsing, listened to music, lots of stuff on this charge alone.
My current Up Time is 130 hrs 28+ mins. Up time being since the last time I rebooted. Not a single hiccup. I love this build.
I can imagine battery life would only get better with a kernel like Freedom and underclocking to around 800MHz. Only reason I haven't done so is because I have zero complaints about the performance of the stock kernel. One of those "if it's not broken, don't fix it" things lol.
This sounds like the sense rom I've always wanted. With that kind of battery life.... downloading now.

Hello Everybody,
as mentioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537299, Moto X 4.4 update brought us Qualcomm optimized Dalvik and Bionic libraries, which seems to work on other devices as well. There are several posts around describing performance boost. Let's test and see.
I've repackaged it for SGS4 Google Edition 4.4 ROM (Jamal's) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544474 and prepared also Uninstaller. To uninstall, you can also re-flash the ROM (no need to wipe data). It works well with mentioned Google Edition ROM according to my tests. It may or may not work with other 4.4 AOSP ROMs...
DISCLAIMER: No warranty whatsoever.
IMPORTANT: Do a full backup before testing.
NOTE: There are some uncertainties about ODEX/DEODEX and how does it work with ART. Test and let us know in this thread.
More information about the libraries: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47707613&postcount=2021
All credits go to the authors of mentioned posts.
Attached following CWM flashable ZIPs - installer (motoX_4.4_qcoptimized_sgs4ge.zip), uninstaller (motoX_4.4_qcoptimized_sgs4ge_undo.zip) and original motoX installer (motoX_4.4_qcoptimized.zip, use this one if you run a ROM different to Jamal's, my installer skips few files as they are up to date in Jamal's GE 4.4 already). Flash it, clear cache, dalvik cache (to be on the safe side) and reboot. Good luck!

can anyone post benchmark results before and after the patch?
I will give it a try on my GS 4 with aosb custom rom and i will report back
Update: It doesnt work after boot my phone hang up on a random error first time says that Themes has stopeed working and after that that com.phone stopped working.
so, if i've an other Google Edition (BoBCatRom V1 GE 4.4.2) i can install this one : motoX_4.4_qcoptimized.zip ? THX in advance.

Generally yes, plus they have binaries for CM11.
They don't provide dalvikvm and dexopt binaries for some reason though. (Maybe it's not necessary, can't say)
Will motoX_4.4_qcoptimized_sgs4ge.zip work with Danvdh's GE ROM? Or, do I need to use motoX_4.4_qcoptimized.zip?
I've been looking for a stock Android ROM for the s7 edge but the two roms Nyssa and KryxOS had too many issues and we're unstable. (Nyssa ROM development has also been cut short)
So im making this tutorial for those who want Nexus but still want GearVR and stability! And FYI this ROM is ODEXED.
Step 1)
Download a ROM called BasicPlus 4.5 (or any latest BasicPlus)
Step 2)
Wipe phone internal/system/delvik/etc in TWRP
Step 3) install BasicPlus ROM
Step 4)
Download Nexus conversion pack zip file and install it through TWRP
Step 5)
Download titanium backup and remove any Samsung apps you don't want
Step 6)
Enjoy

Why do you want to get close to Stock Android (Nexus)? I personally feel, that Samsung TouchWiz UI is already better than Stock Android. Stock Android is just vanilla with poor breed of softwares like Camera.

In this you still keep the stock Samsung camera but things like the phone, messaging app, gallery, etc all change to google. Also you're pull down menu and settings menu is unchanged stays the same as stock TouchWiz, so it's a mix kind of and it's very nice if you're looking for stock Android but still keep main Samsung functions
daaamn that's tempting.. i still didn't lost my warranty so hasitating.. but vanilla look with samsung apps.. that's like dreams come true for me

I used the ROM BasicPlus because it's very light and in aroma you can remove anything Samsung and it will still run flawlessly! When I installed basic plus I only had 8-9 apps (phone, calculator, google play store, etc) I even removed the internet browser. It's pretty much an empty ROM with amazing features but you choose everything! Hope who ever tries it gives some feedback

If you want security updates you can flash them if I'm not mistaken but over all these isn't anything new that's necessarily "experience" changing that's worth an update. This ROM works and it's flawless so far, to that I say, to each his own. If you have any ROM suggestions id gladly look at them!

There is a debloat script that remove all the bloat apps that samsung has: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-bloat-list-t3359654
So i think it doesnt matter what rom you install, and therefor i think we dosent have to stick with Basic rom beacase it has removeble script in the aroma installer. We can install any rom and use this script.
What do you think?

I agree with you completely, but I mentioned basic plus because that's what I used and it worked. I didn't use this process with any other ROM so I didn't want to risk an error happening to any user who reads this. Either way, appreciate your input.
