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?!

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??

Great information, especially for a noob like myself. Thanks a lot!!
A lot of the community would be grateful if someone could make a theme + tweaks for Odexed ROMS also. (For those giving me that strange look, no it is not impossible!)
As most of us are using XXKPQ, it could be a good beginning.
If it has been requested before, I (or google) could not find it. Thanks for listening!

I am already doing that, but EDT tweaks and 14 toggles are really what I am after
It's a very good idea. Other phone users are doing that. Look at i9000 section. They say that deodexing a firmware doesn't make it smoother or something like that..

Which version of the theme?
v2 (i hope the screens are from v2)
I do this on ODEXED ROM.
Step 1- Download a theme for de-odexed ROM itself.
Step 2- MANUALLY put files using Root Explorer or anything similar.
Step 3- While you re-place, delete .odex files.
Step 4- After copying all teh files and deleteing .odex then and there, re-boot
step 5- ???
step 6- PROFIT!

Hi friends !
Many of you asked me to include different languages to NEO ROM. As I have been unable to do so, So I've come up with links to different guides/tutorials for MODs that are used in NEO ROM.
By following these guides you will be able to make your own fully functional CUSTOM ROM with various MODs.
I used the same links to build my own ROM (NeO RoM).
STEPS:
(1) Basic features of a CUSTOM ROM includes: deodexed, rooted, zipaligned, init.d scripts support, busybox, custom bootanimation, bootsound, vold.fstab, build.prop tweaks etc.
These features can be implemented in any ROM using dsixda's Android Kitchen.
Follow this to know how to use kitchen for making custom ROMs.
Just grab .tar file for any of stock ROM that you wish to use as base build.
It will give you a CWM flashable zip of your ROM. However there may be some problems with updater-script.
So before flashing the ROM to your device, upload this file here, I'll look for problems & modify for you.
(2) Next modification that you can make to your ROM is theming.
Basic theming includes changing icons, fonts, transitions, transparency, status bar mod, quickpanel icons mod etc
Use UOT kitchen for theming purpose.
see this video on how to use UOT kitchen.
(3) For advanced MODs, you must know how to compile, decompile APKs, comparing apks using NOTEPAD++ & winmerge tool
Follow these guides to setup android sdk & apktool:
ANDROID SDK
APKTOOL
(4) Lets start adding advanced MODs to our ROM:
a) simplest one CRT OFF ANIMATION CRT OFF
b) LIDROID 14 toggle MOD 14 toggle
c) CRT ON Animation CRT ON
d) SWIPE to remove notifications
e) ICS style settings.apk
I'll add more links to the other MODs later.
Before that you should try to implement the above MODs in your ROM.
Post here your problems, errors etc, I'll provide assistance to you all.
Why depend on DEVs when you can yourself make your OWN ROM?
Believe me, NEO ROM is the result of all these links/tutorials/guides.
So, start making your OWN first custom ROM !!! :good:
Woah !
Thank you very much man.

Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda app-developers app
First of all, thank you very much for your work and effort, and for this wonderful initiative. I've been reading here and there to try to make my own rom and this is just the push that I needed.
So far I managed to get the dsixda kitchen running. I downloaded the I9103ZSLE6 original rom, unziped it and uncompressed all the stuff through the kitchen, so I have a working directory "WORKING_062812_032259" with everything on it. I also selected the option Add root permissions and I suppose everything went OK.
Now I'm trying to customize it with the UOT. I watched the video, but the problem that I found is that inside the framework folder I just have the framework-res.apk but not the SystemUI.apk, among a lot of jar and odex files.
Should I deodex the rom with the dsixda kitchen to get the System-UI.apk?
Another question I have: should I change de CSC version? I remember reading somewhere that if you take a rom from another country or zone it is necessary to do so.
Thank you very much in advance.

For advanced MODs, deodexed apks/jars are required.
So, I recommend you to first deodex /system/app & /system/framework
folder using kitchen.
Though UOT kitchen can work with STOCK ODEXED files, but you should first deodex your ROM
also SystemUI.apk file lies in /system/app folder
not in /system/framework
You need to upload three files:
SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk
Added this to my Guide's List..
Hope you dont mind

Ok, I just deodex the rom:
Could not deodex the following (you can try to deodex these files again):
GoogleQuickSearchBox.odex Maps.odex Phonesky.odex PlusOne.odex VoiceSearch.odex

some files cant be deodexed using dsixda's kitchen.
delete those files & extract the updated files from a working ROM (data/app/folder)
Thank you very much for your time. I downloaded NeoRom V2.1 and in this rom this 5 programs are removed and not replaced with the corresponding apks... so It's ok to just remove them or I'm missing something?

phonesky.apk is play store.
So you must grab this apk from neo rom system /app folder
all others can be removed. they are not necessary.
EDIT: com.google.vending.apk is the file for play store
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda app-developers app
Ok, it must be "com.android.vending-1.apk" then. I've been looking for phonesky.apk like crazy
Thank you very much.
Ok, so now I have the rom rooted and deodexed, and I added the apk of the market.
I flashed the stock zsle6 rom with odin.
To flash the deodexed one, so I can try the theming I created with the UOT Kitchen, what should I do?
I suposse the steps are as follows:
1.-Select "Build ROM from working folder" at dsixda kitchen.
2.-Flash CWM with ODIN.
3.-Flash the rom created with dsixda kitchen (Odin or CWM??).
4.-Flash the zip from UOT Kitchen.
Is that correct?

use neo roms updater script and update binary files
since the file you uploaded is update script not updater one.
dsixda doesnt fully support SGR
. it requires some changes to updater script.

Sorry, I think I made a mistake.
dsixda gives me the option of replace the update-script with unpdater-script and undate binary. I just rebuilt it, and say yes to that this time. I attach the files.

I would say stick to your default/system fonts unless you have a step-by-step+screenshot based procedure on how to install the fonts, atleast at the beginner level.

New updateVanilla rootbox zip Available Now
Hi Guyz..
Today when i woke up and read my msgs those green similes were quite annoying me ..... so i decided to change them and i did change them..
For those people who dose not like android similes can do this..
Its quite easy and noob friendly... so here we go
1 MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP... GO TO RECOVERY FOR THIS
2 EXTRACT THESE 2 APK FROM THE ROM ZIP
For CyanogenMod users
system\app\mms.apk
system\framework\framework_res.apk
For Sense users
copy only
system\framework\framework_res.apk
These apks can also be get using any root explorer if you dont have ROM zip.
same destinations.. For example using Es File Explorer or Solid Explorer
3.After that extract the sense5.rar file that i have given to u.somewhere safe wher you can find that
4.Open your Rom files one by one lets start with Framework_res using winrar on pc
Now where to go?
res\drawable-mdpi\
Drag all the emotions from the folder that you have extracted from sense 5.rar these are all emotions you could see it and drop it in apk file that you have open at one side like shown in image one
5. Thats it now close the apk file
6 same with the mms apk
7 Now how to push it if you dont know how to use ADB
8 Download the zip named as flash
9 Open it using winrar
10 If uou want to flash mms then put it in sytem\app
And if you want to flash framework put it in system\framework and close the zip
Do not extract the zip
And compression level is normal dont change the settings just press on ok
11 Cyanogen user should Flash both files after editing and Sense users can flash framework only cuz mms.apk dosenot exist
12 For CM9 and cm 10.1 i have made a flashable zip just flash it and you are done NAMED as cm9 emo.zip for cm9 and cm10.1 for cm10.1 and cm10 for cm10 and xenon for xenon and rootbox for Vanilla Rootbox
AT THE END I DIDNT TEST IT ON SENSE BUT IT SHOULD WORK
And please be easy on me cuz this is my first tutorial
see guyz in this way you can also theme your rom like systemui.apk for statusbar

The OP has not yet given us a flashable zip or files for cm10 .I think you misread the guide.the one that you've done is specific for phones running on the sense rom.. not cm10 .
As far as fixing the bootloop i think you should restore any previous nandroid backups through recovery or reflash the rom..
