if you are stock, it is odexed.
if you have a custom rom on, 99/100 it is deodexed.

Well most stock Roms are odexed. And some are deodexed. It really depends.
One way to find out is to go to /system/app with a file browser.
If you see an app. Let's say Browser it'll say "Browser.apk" and if you see "Browser.odex" under it then it means your Rom isn't deodexed.

try ice glacier...its the stock rom without any bloatware, and its deodexed.
if you want to deodex by yourself, here are some directions,

Will ODEXing rom work on the SGN10.1?

This is supposed to be a universal method to ODEX:

I'm pretty sure the stock rom is already ODEXed. I've been trying to learn how to cook roms and just DeODEXed a UEALH2 stock rom. So I suppose if you wanted to ODEX a DeODEXed Note 10.1 rom you could with this method.

There's not much point to re-odexing a firmware. It saves a tiny bit of time on initial boot, but that's it. It has zero performance impact once the device has booted, and makes maintaining a firmware very difficult. (This is, for example, one of the reasons why Cyanogenmod doesn't odex builds.)

[Q] How to use stock Gingerbread apps with AOKP Jelly Bean?

Hello,
I am using an unofficial AOKP JB build (25 Nov 2012), and it works quite well. However, some stock apps on it are not to my tasting (e.g., phone, contacts, etc). I really liked the feel and look of those apps in good old Gingerbread. Is there any way I could install/use them in AOKP JB? As far as I know, the stock GB is odexed, and the AOKP JB is deodexed, so it is impossible just to swap the apps in /system/app.
I would appreciate any suggestions or comments. Thank you.

Depends - some of the touchwiz-specific ones will require edits to framework (and maybe services) and likely a few other places to retain full functionality. Were such edits in place you could then drop in (as AOKP is deodexed) any of the deodexed system apps (I would rexommend pulling them from the stock ICS build myself) into /system/app - there's a zip full of said deodexed apps in the Tweaked OP (1.x has GB ones, 2.x has ICS ones) if you get to that point.
I tried to use apps from stock deodexed 2.3.6, but it did not work. Do you think I will have more luck with apps from stock deodexed ICS? Do I just put deodexed *.apk in /system/app or there is more to it? At what stage are binaries and other relevant files created from apk? Thanks!

More luck... most likely. The issue will be when the new-to-AOKP apk starts calling methods that don't exist in the jellybean-based framework - it will likely be an iterative process of try it, fail but get a logcat, see why it failed, try to track down what was missing from a tw framework, throw it in the aokp framework, and try again - and then lather rinse repeat. And that is all assuming no hiccups hit along the way, which never seems to be the case. While it sounds pretty labor-intensive, and will likely make you want to pull your hair out, it can be pretty fun trying to figure it all out. Good luck!

NFC Fix for 900I Varients Running 900F Base (Deodexed Touchwiz Lollipop)

Hi all this is a fix for NFC not working on a S5 900I varient running a 900F base.
It does not require you to change bootloader to use it but it does require you to at least be running ktoonz or stock kernel.
To flash this zip it is under the impression that you are running lollipop on 900I S5 with either the ktoonz kernel or have updated bootloader and are using the stock kernel.
The NFC apk in the zip is deodexed because I am running a deodexed base but should work on odexed bases due to the updater script deleting the old nfc folder and installing new but is not tested yet on an odexed base.
The flashable zip is attached and is for lollipop roms only, if want one for kitkat I also do have one but have not attached since I no longer use kitkat.
If want to make your own with your own downloaded 900I base just look in the zip for what files are required from a 900I base for NFC to work, I did extensive testing on kitkat to find exactly what files are required so you only need about 7 files in total and the same amount of files are required for lollipop.
Feel free to include it in your rom maybe just give us some credit.

Thx for that!
So in my case, if I flash stock taiwan lollipop ROM and then I flash e.g Ambasadii/Alexndr lollipop rom designed for G900F then flashing this patch fixes NFC issue?
Do I think right? What with modem and bootloader?
You can have modem and bootloader from G900F too?
Hello there,
i have followed the instructions to the letter,I have a 900i, im running slightrom 1-2 which is a g900f base rom, i have ktoonz installed and i have flashed your fix from recovery. No go joe. im just wondering have i missed something? is this rom not compatible? i even tried just flashing again still no good, any advise?

Yes, if you are on a 900f rom then flash this the nfc should work but you need to be using either stock 900i lollipop kernel or ktoonz jernel. Modem and bootloader do not affect nfc. Personally i would not flash the 900f modem or bootloader on a non 900f varient.

I just had a look at slightrom and it is an odexed based rom which i havent tested this on an odex rom yet because i always use deodexed so its easier to mod. If get time later today ill try have a look at it but dont see why it doesnt work if using either stock 900i or ktoonz kernel as the script will delete the odexed file for nfc and replace it with a deodexed one
So I could flash official CM KLTE nightlies with this on my KLTEDV?
Would battery drain be visible?

Hi!
There is issue with sidesync after apply your fix to g900f based roms:
prot- said:
Just wanted to point out that the G900i Stock Kernel (NFC fix) is missing the required components which allow the control of the device via Sidesync.
If any Dev out there knows how to fix this, it would be great!

Thanks for this.
I'm finally going to start work on the S5 (I bit the bullet and made my KNOX 0x1), so this NFC fix will be the first mod I'll need
hi. I know this is for the S5. i am trying to fix the NFC for note 3 n900w8, (broken on all customs Lolipop ROMs and Kernels) but i would like to know a bit more on how to find the appropriate files. (i am sort of a noob on android but any info will be appreciated).
very~~very~very thx~~~
Finally can be used normally NFC
Would you mind giving me a list of files to update? I am trying to fix NFC on a 900i running an S6 rom (popwiz telstra rom 4.1)

possible to deodex?

can anybody tell me if we can deodex our rom now that we have root? doesnt matter if it is using a pc or from within
I am pretty sure yes, although I could be wrong. Don't see why not though, you now have root level rights, and thus can deodex them. If you can read them, you can copy them. Good luck! I will try it out later too, and if anything goes wrong, no real harm done. Just reflash.
But why do you want to deodex? On average an odexed rooms is 10% faster then an deodexed rom. The reason behind having a deodexed rom is for theming purposes.

I also read (somewhere) that when MM rolls out, the need for Odexing is completely gone.

Ive never seen which one is faster... I'll take ure word but I was under the impression that deodex in general is better? I know the main reason is to theme tho
Here is a good explanation. Deodexed is only good theming and modding but any good dev such as my self can work with an odexed system.
When I was actively developing Roms I would do both and they where identical in features and theming. Sometimes I offered to the public both but sometimes I would just order the deodexed version for the ease of theming back in the day and keep the odexed version for my self. I even have a script floating around that can odex your system after you flashed your ROM, mods, and themes.
Now with xposed and the right set of modules there no need to flash a theme like you did back in the day when it would replace the apk. So there is no need for a deodexed system.
