Hi, I would like to De-Odex the rom I currently have on my phone.
Is there an easy way to do this?
I've read:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/47283-release-xultimate.html
and
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-themes/4620-how-manually-deodex-your-phone.html (there is also a post about this on here)
The xUltimate tool will not work for me, so I need another option.
Phone: HTC Evo
ROM: Stock 3.29 OTA
Rooted (ofc)
Thanks for the help.
Sorry if this is no help, but a deodexed version of the 3.29 OTA is posted somewhere in the dev section. Is there a particular reason why you want to deodex it yourself?

I've been switching between roms but I keep coming back to my original stock one. It's still odex'd and I would like to theme the battery icon on the status bar without having to set everything back up on a fresh rom. Since it reads half when 80% of my battery is remaining.
Thanks for the quick response.

It wasn't that it didn't work.
I just got an error with Java, not sure how to fix it. Some said to re install java, but i've installed JRE and JDK from 5u20 to 6u21 (32 and 64 bit). Everything I tried gave the same error.
I am going to try asking on their forum and see if they can tell me what I did wrong.
I have a feeling it has to do with the 3.29 OTA update. :-/
Good luck and if you get it to work please let me know your setup.
and if you can't run step 3 let me know... that way I am not the only one to seem that crazy.
option 1 and 2 just adb pulls your /system/apps and your framework.
just got stuck starting option 3:
Starting AccountSyncManager.odex
*Deodexing...
Error occurred while loading boot class path files. Aborting.
org.jf.dexlib.Code.Analysis.ClassPath$ClassNotFoundException....
lower it says
at org.jf.baksmali.baksmali.dissambleDexFile(baksmali.java:103)
and it just gives some more errors until i close it down
i was sooo excited to get this done!
Ahhh! I'll see what I can find out on their forums.
Despite the tutorial saying "Manually De-Odex Your Phone" I think it may be just for droid phones. It was posted in the Moto Droid sections of the forums.
Here is the error I was getting:
Code:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

dang it...
i just updated my java and nothing, still same error. well let me know what they say. i was about to make an account to post over there but i'll let you do it then.

If you want to add anything my post is located:

Both our problems have "org.jf.baksmali" involved.
Hopefully we'll have some answers soon.
well i ran a test and everything said pass, including the odex and deodex. i installed the latest java, and same problem. i had the phone originally as mass storage, so i tried under charge only, and still same problem.
i really hope we get a solution to this
I did some more reading and it seems that app is designed specifically for droid x phones.
I'm now going to try a more hands on approach using avabox...will update tonight.

Were you able to get it DeOdexed?
I found this after some searching... It seems to be the LONG way to deodex an apk. It was written in 2009 so idk how reliable it will be.
http://androidnetwork.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=55
Edit: Link to Avabox: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697459
[UPDATE] I tried Avabox and it de-odexed all of the files that I adb pulled. I copied the De-Odexed files back to their respective folder on the /system/, and deleted "rm /system/app/*.odex" (Removing all the .odex files) and rebooted.
I got stuck on the white "HTC Evo 4G" screen and could not get passed it.
I am not sure what I messed up. Maybe I need to resign the files? I'll try that tomorrow.
Let me know how your attempt went. :]
When I left for school I left the script deodexing my app folder...it seems to have done the job and there were no errors. It's doing the process for the framework files now.
Once I move it over to the phone we 'll see if it worked...
I'll update here when I find out...
Swyped from an HTC Evo on MetroPCS...
i just tried that too and i got stock in a bootloop.
the avabox script does deodex all the app files. it doesn't do that for the framework files...it seems it'll only deodex .apk files.
anyways, i deleted everything from my /system/app folder and then pushed over the deodexed apks...i also did this for the two apk files from system/framework and the phone did the bootloop thing. so i put back the original /system/framework files, effectively only leaving changed the contents of /framework/app/ and still, bootlooping.
i'm restoring right now...i'll try it some more at another time.
let me know if you figure it out!
I was reading some of the comments on this thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598026) They we're saying about problems with de-odexing the framework.
Do we need to resign system apps before we push them back?
I am optimizing my apks now, going to batch resign then try putting just the apks back on.
Well I messages avalaunchmods asking the same thing...if anyone knows it should be him...
Update if you get it working please!
Swyped from an HTC Evo on MetroPCS...
Unfortunately, I still don't have any good news. :[
I tried resigning the de-odexed apk's and replacing the ones on my phone.
This got stuck at the white HTC Evo 4G screen.
This failed
Then I optimized, signed, and zipaligned.
This threw me into an actual boot loop. (I was excited... It's the first boot loop i've gotten.)
This failed.
Here is some semi-less-bad news.
I used http://circle.glx.nl/ to make a flashable update.zip for theme-ing. I Flashed it with success and was able to get to the lock screen. Sense UI along with just about every other system app kept force closing.
But I was able to successfully (even though I got FC's) theme and boot using that kitchen.
I am going to mess around with the different settings there and see if I can atleast theme my phone.
Any luck with your attempts?
i was at school all day - no news from me. this is very discouraging though.
i'm surprised nobody else has chimed in! considering how many people are making and releasing roms, some people must know what's going on here
Good news (kinda)
I was able to theme my framework-res.apk without any errors or FC's.
I didn't do anything to De-Odex it but it accepted the theme when I manually edited it.
There must be an xml that scripts how the battery is displaying %'s
since I have 89% of my battery remaining but the themed battery is showing 80%.
I'll dig around and see where it is and add it to my next framework recompile.
We're you interested in just themeing or the whole de-odexing (apps & framework)
If you want to theme it i'll write up a decent tutorial on what I did.
If not I'll write up a quick tutorial for the next root newbie who wants to theme.
Going to test run it and make sure I didn't mess much up.
Edit3: The bad, it would appear that you can't modify the .xml's of the framework. You can only change the pictures.
So the battery wont be able to have the exact %.
Modifying of any .xml leads me to a boot loop.
Tips are appreciated on fixing this.
I'll keep trying.
so here is what i've learned.
i had modified both .com.htc.resources and framework-res before. those files, at least in my rom, are not odexed. everything else in the framework folder is a mix of files, .jar files and other formats, including services.jar, which is odexed. that's why if we change the services.jar file, without the phone being deodexed, it wont work.
that's why i want to deodex my rom. i have too many changes already and dont want to re-do them in another, deodexed rom.
my main interest in deodexing the rom is to have the working battery percentage on top (which used to work on THIS rom before, without deodexing???) and to have a transparent notification tray.
and from there being able to make any other changes as they come up...
i'll see when i have some more time to try out other options, but chances are you will have time before me, so keep updating!
Has anyone got a guide on how to remove/add APK's from a ROM ZIP file? I found a few roms but they have some stuff that i dont require.
Is it done by using themepro?
Bit of a pointless thread when I've already answered your question...should've waited for me before doing this!!
how is this pointless? i too would love to know how!!!!!!
It was pointless as I already answered the question in the ROM thread it was first put in. As I'm in work I couldn't reply instantly...
Basically:
Unzip ROM, remove APK(s) from /system/app, add APK(s) to /system/app (or /data/app if you want them to be removable), rezip ROM, flash it
thank you for your fast response. just one quick question... when zipping back up, do i just use "store" ?
No you can use medium compression for a rom.

I just rezip it using the stock Windows 'Compressed Folders' option - seems to work fine
thanks you for the replies
Or open the archive in the Winrar and delete / add files directly.
I have extracted the ZIP, removed a few apks and then rezipped it but i cant install the new rom.
I am doing it through Rom manager/clockworkmod but it fails to install. Anyone know what im doing wrong?
If I'm already running a ROM can I remove files from the zip file and flash the same ROM and by this way get rid of the unwanted apps? Or do I need to perform a wipe first?

Sorry for digging such a old thread. For those who might be searching for the same reason, please note...
1. Removing the APKs from the ROM and Reflashing it won't make those Apps go Away from the Device. You need a Clean Wipe before and after the Flash. Sometimes you will need to Clear the Dalvik Cache as well.
2. Removing the APKs using ADB will not take out the APPs completely. You will also need to remove the corresponding .ODEX files if its Stock DEODEX files if otherwise.
3. In most cases, the editing the ROM typically requires you to Sign the ZIP file again. So you'd need the Manufacturer's Signing Key unless your device allows for unsigned ROMs.
just delete the app and flash, then see if everything is working
Tried deleting and reflashing

First, I am so new to this that noob is not a good title for me. I plan on learning all this, but for certain reasons, I need to get the Camera functionality off my HTC One M8. I figured that getting the software off would be easier and quicker than trying to disassemble the glue factory inside the phone. So I went to the unlockr to learn how. (Probably a mistake on my part.) According to him all I need to do is
2. In the app folder you will see all the .apk files for all the applications you have currently in the ROM. Simply delete the ones you do not want to remove them from the ROM.
3. To add applications, simply copy any .apk file for the applications you want to add into the app folder.
Then rebuild the ROM in Kitchen (99) and load it up. Now I have tried just removing camera.apk in Viper, InsertCoin, and Android Revolution. Everytime the ROM will not load, but the unmodified Viper, InsertCoin, and Android Revolution ROMs will load just fine. Should one of the files be edited? Or is there another way to disable the camera aside from tearing it apart. Any assistance while I try to learn this will be greatly appreciated.
As you can see, I have tried just deleting and reflashing, but the ROM won't install.

EddyOS, I dug up this post for several reasons. First you must have missed my noob comment regarding myself. Second, to stay on the good side of the xda moderators, I was reading all the please read before posting posts, which all say do a search first. The search dug up this post. Third everywhere I tried to post my question, the first thing that was mentioned on the forum was do not post questions here. Fourth, my mistake, I didn't realize I was on the HTC Desire forum, I take full responsibility for that. Fifth, I was just looking for help by getting pointed in the right direction in order to figure out how to fix my issue, and simply wanted to reply to a post on how to fix my problem that it didn't work for me. Obviously I now know it was the wrong platform and by your response, I take it that these two platforms will not have similar issues. Finally if I have offended your sense of what's right and wrong, I most sincerely apologize. I will confine myself to reading and not posting so as not to commit anymore faux pas.

In here, you will find the Q&A section and you can then post your question and people can assist you further
Just to reiterate, THIS DOES NOT WORK YET. This thread was created for interested devs who may want the appropriate files to get this going. As far as I know, this doesn't work on anything but the Korean Galaxy.
Ok, so recently the Korean variant of the Galaxy S got a Gingerbread update. (the SHW-M110S)
This phone HAS call recording, and is the best chance of getting call recording to work on Gingerbread.
However, just copying the appropriate files isn't enough. libaudiopolicy.so (the only file needed for recording, as the other 2 broke Fring in the Froyo version) puts the phone into a hard bootloop (doesn't get to boot animation). Phone.apk will force close.
That said, I'm on Darky's 10RC6, which I have previously got into a hard bootloop through a new framework-res.apk suitable for JVB (which it's based on). I encourage you to backup your files and copy these files yourself - if you're lucky, it might work!
I found it a chore to download the entire update tar, mount factoryfs.rfs and extract and deodex the apk and .so files myself, so I'm putting them here to hopefully attract interest in getting this to work.
Attached files are:
/system/app/Phone.apk
/system/app/Phone_util.apk
/system/lib/libaudiopolicy.so
/system/lib/libaudioflinger.so
/system/lib/libaudio.so
/system/framework/twframework-res.apk (required to decompile Phone.apk!!)
/system/framework/framework-res.apk (Also required to decompile Phone.apk!)
Phone.apk is deodexed (framework apks have no need to be), and because I have the ROM downloaded and mountable, I can attach any other files from the ROM that devs may need.
Phone_util.apk is completely unchanged from JVB, so I doubt it is needed for a successful port.
Good luck to all on getting this to work!
For those interested, the tar is:
SHW-M110S_Gingerbread_REV03_ALL_VD27-0629_CL164221_mid_user.tar
Google it if you want to dl yourself a copy.
P.S. Mods - I posted this in dev and not general because I extracted and deodexed the files myself, and there may be more dev exposure here - hoping this is alright. Move if appropriate.
Hope the devs here get this working
Oh, and if it works on CM7, that would be SO hot.
Thanks dude, Can you upload these files also ?
systemp\app\phone_util.apk
systemp\lib\libaudio.so
systemp\lib\libaudioflinger.so
Edit: SHW-M110S_Gingerbread_REV03_ALL_VD27-0629_CL164221_mid_user.tar was already on torrent, I had downloaded it. But I didn't know whether it has call recording or not. Are you sure about that?

Updated the original post with the files.
And I'm sure it has call recording. The Phone.apk has all the required xmls and images for recording, looking quite similar to the Froyo call recording Phone.apk.
i will test it i ve been waiting for this for a long time
I have package M110S-Gingerbread-HOME-IMAGE-REV03-VE03-0050-USER.tar.md5.
I don't know if it is right version, but it doesn't seem to help.
So far I tried just copying libaudiopolicy.so and Phone.apk, but it didn't work - actually after copying Phone.apk, it started to crash.
Files from this thread didn't work either (same crashing).

Yeah, doesn't seem like it works on any non Korean Gingerbread roms at the moment then. Pity it's not just a darky thing.

For me (Darky's 10RC6 which is based on JVB) both update files give me a hard bootloop (doesn't get past Galaxy S screen).
I noticed you changed the libaudio.so between the 2, what did you do to it?

It's the original file of froyo. The ginger one you provided is too small. I thought that can't be that much small.

Nope, still boot loops before it gets to the boot animation. The file that's killing it is libaudiopolicy.so, replace nothing but that and it'll bootloop.
How do you decompile a .so file? A google search returns limited information on the topic.
I tried to flash with CWM2 (flashed speedmod k13E), I have changed the files in the update zip of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967297 and I used the restore update too... easier way to check it.
The results are that: The phone is even not booting, it's stuck on the I9000 screen and not going to the ROM boot...
I flashed back to original files... wait for good update zip.

Same here,I tried with files in this thread and files from "M110S-Gingerbread-HOME-IMAGE-REV03-VE03-0050-USER" rom.
I'm going to flash just the 'lib' '.so' files and check the response of the device, if the device will response right... I'll go further and I'll change the apk's files of the phone, I'll merge the apk's of the i9000 GB with korean GB.
I hope it will be easy as it sound.

ok, I flashed.
sadly the phone won't boot, I restored with the backup files, and than it's booted.
The 'lib' '.so' files having problems. I don't know which one of them.
That's means we need here a good developers for working on this.
I can't help anymore of that (I think), I'm just electronic guy not programmer.

At least it is in libaudiopolicy.so, because try flashing it only and phone won't boot.
Ok - first off, I've done this a few times and searched it to death and I'm still not getting any results. It's probably one of those things that I've just skipped a step somewhere, but I'm going banana sandwich trying to solve it.
Basic change the icon of the Phone.
I know its in either Phone.apk or Contact.apk, so I've changed both by:
1 - 7z method, dropping the new file into the .apk
2 - apk_manager, from extract/rezip all the way to decompile/recompile
3 - akptool, similar to above
I've pushed, rebooted. Cleared cache, rebooted. No luck.
This damn blue phone just will not change. Currently running an old 4.0.2 ROM - LTE.
EDIT: Also tried TelephonyProvider just for giggles to see if it would work - no luck.
Like I said, I'm sure this is something simple, but at this point I'm starting to do more harm just for a SIMPLE change. Any suggestions?
it's within the Contacts.apk and no decompiling is necessary. 7zip will do the trick. i'd flash it, though. but it will work if you just replace that apk with root explorer and reboot.
Yeah - tried that. No luck. Only reason I went that far is because what I usually do did not work. I'm in the process now of starting from square one, going to re-flash ROM.
EDIT: Ok, so I pulled all 3 from /system/app/ and all have the altered image - but still getting blue phone. Anyone know where the heck its pulling the OEM image?

You sure you're replacing the right image? The phone icon is in the Contacts apk at /res/mipmap-xhdpi. All you have to do is replace that image then push back to your phone

It seems MrVirginia has this covered but I'll say this anyway.
Both the phone and contacts/people icons are in the Contacts.apk/res/MipMap-Xhdpi folder, you don't need to decompile (as Virginia stated) as you aren't making any XML or .9.png changes. Just drag the res folder out of the apk and go into the folder path stated and drag the changed res folder back in.
Hope this helps.

Thanks all.
Either I must have missed a step somewhere in there, or I'm a complete idiot (probably both).
I cleared all data, cache, etc.. Reflashed.. Pushed.. It's there now. Who knows. Thanks everyone for the help, though. Cheers.
Hey gang. Searched for an answer to this but couldn't find it, so was hoping someone could provide some insight.
I'm running vicious 4.1.1 on my verizon galaxy nexus. the other day i modded my soft keys, and last night i modded my battery icon. in flashing the battery icon w/clockwork mod recovery, the phone returned to the stock soft keys. so then i went back to re-do the soft keys and the battery returned to stock.
is there something i should be doing when flashing new mods to ensure the old ones stay in place?
thanks!
Are they mods applied through ZipThemer? There's a way to have both mods applied through ZT if that's the case.
If not, then just make sure the images for the nav keys are in the SystemUI.apk containing the battery images or vice versa, push the apk to system/app, set permissions, reboot, and you're good to go.

i flashed the zips through clockwork mod recovery. just went to see if i could do it w/zipthemer, but it said it couldn't find a theme within the files.
as for your second set of instructions, just went right over my head. i'm new to this whole process as i just unlocked and rooted about a week ago.
if i unzip the mod files on my comp, will that give me access to the apk file? how do i look at what's in the apk? a search told me ninjamorph - is that what you'd recommend?
sorry for all the extra questions. like i said - still feeling my way around.
Send me both mods. I'll combine the images for you.

Well if the files weren't originally meant to be applied through ZT they wouldn't work.
I'm guessing you're going to take up Zeinzu's offer, but if you still want more clarification about my earlier suggestion, feel free to ask.

yeah, i sent him the images to combine. figure i'll allow myself one get-out-of-jail-free card.
if you can provide some more clarification that would be great as i'm sure i'll run into this again as i get deeper and deeper into modding my nexus.
