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:

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.
keep me updated!

If you want to add anything my post is located:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/85223-xultimate-errors.html
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!
ROOTSide ROM
Base Flipside ROM with root/busybox/unknown sources enabled. Only thing different in this rom than rooting it yourself is you get to check/uncheck unknown sources. Yes, that means you can turn unknown sources ON and OFF! I have a clockworkmod recovery folder zipped up for distribution, but I want to post a full-fledged ROM zip file for the masses. PM me, and I will send you the ZIP file that I have right now.
What you get:
base install for the flipside (AT&T) with motoblur ready to set up. It is the exact same thing as doing a factory reset, but you get all the benefits of superuser with busybox and the addead feature of having unknown sources checkbox in the settings.
I will work towards a deoxed version this weekend as well.
No custom bootscreen (yet). No custom anything, really.
Almost There
I am currently in the middle of Deodexing the image. I have added in wifi tethering, and ensured it will have superuser and busybox pre-packaged. Next step is pushing this to my wife's phone and not having her get a pretty brick in return. If all goes well, I will be posting the image by morning light (CST).
Fingers Crossed!
Well
Things didn't go too well with my first build attempt. Appears to be a permission issue with the /system folder. I will sleep on it, and give it a second go in the morning. Sorry for the apparent "tease". If you want a faster build, I could use some other devs working with me.
Hey man, sounds like you're doing great! Keep it up...I already found a way to get the root with unknown sources checked, so i'm just gonna wait for the deoxed version! Hope it goes well as you try again.
Current Issues
unable to deodex the following:
/system/app/AABSync.odex
/system/app/blur-services.odex
Will try to load to phone without dodexing those two files. Hopefully all will go well.
Me too...good luck!!

Glad to see some work on this device, I love the form factor but it's obviously not very popular with devs...
Very interested to see this come around. I would like to streamline the wife's phone. Her battery life is a 1/3 of my rooted and flashed X10. Sadly though I am NOT a Dev nor even a cook.
I would have had something sooner, but I ran into issues not related to the ROM. Still working on it. Anybody have an idea for upgrading the CWM from the one we can currently use?
so I was curious, I was able to get to unlock mode with an sqlite thing and it worked just fine for me, but have you been able to knock out the bloat and stuff? cause it sounds like the makings of a custom rom lol
you know what the turtle said.. slowly but surely I will win this race

Several ppl have said they have run into this problem...don't know what the deal is...
Is it possible to get CM7, or it's a problem with a locked kernel?
Ok, I just got a new phone for the Mrs., so I can break the flipside and unbreak it as much as I like.
Time for some real fearless development lol.

sounds good man, keep us posted on progress!!
So check this out...I messaged the guy at modmymobile and asked how things were going becuase I heard people were having problems getting an updated CMW and this is his response:
"been sittin on the updated cwm recovery binaries and been draggin my feet/takin a break the past week or 2. i'll throw something out soon, but cant commit to a timeframe, sorry."
Looks like things are on the up and up...stay patient everyone
GOOD JOB!!!,
We are waiting for the rom

Hmm weird, if its going past M, you should be able to get a logcat. Its kind of the only way I can tell whats wrong.
ok so i tried it and it did not work. im think that the problem is some where in the installation cause nothing else makes sense
ok im pretty sure that the problem is some where in the installing cause im think its not probably installing right thats why it goes M and then nothing and ADB commands dont work

im going to check if I can see if theres any missing important files for you to push. can you go on gtalk? My email is my username at gmail
Yah i can go on gmail but after today i dont know when I will be free to help you work on rom again cause im pretty busy the rest of the week
Also I won't be able to adb push things since adb does not work it would have to be in the zip if you compile another zip I will flash it later in the week and get back to you

PM me. I'm a journalist and I get a lot of phones. I love MIUI perhaps I can work something out with you to get you the phones you need to make sure the ports get done.
I was thinking maybe cause the droid pro is a global build while the other phones are just cdma

If you are working on porting the phone to the VS660, LW690, US670, or MS690 with the eventual goal of inclusion in the IHO repository please check in here.
I'm trying port this for the ms690. I'll admit it's a bit over my head but I have a rooted and flashed M and a rooted but stock M at my disposal and a working android development environment.
My rom is compiling now after fixing the typo in the mms_config.xml. I would like to help get the proper changes in the IHO repo if I get this working, but I have absolutely no idea how all that works.
I'll update here if I get my rom compiled and let ya know how it runs. Anyone know how long it should take to completely compile a rom error free? I'm running 2 dual core xeons at 2ghz... This is a long compile for a >100MB file, heh.
Has anyone successfully ported using Ubuntu 11.xx on a 32 bit, vmware setup? I got it to work with wubi, but that messed up my windows. Can you run Ubuntu off of a thumb drive but use your hard drive for storage?

1. I thought you couldn't successfully compile on 32 bit since 2.2
2. Setting up a development environment in vm? or on a flash drive? Do you really deserve that kind of punishment?
I guess you could build on a persistent usb but but it sounds scary to me. I don't know if you could properly mount a drive in live usb, seems like you would need your build folder on a hdd or a 32gig flash.
Backup your stuff and throw on an ext partition. Your building will be easier in a native environment and a clean windows install never hurts.
My compile is stopped. I've been poking around and I don't think I'm gonna figure this out like all the other BS I've figured out.
GRRR this is ****ing stupid, tried to post my error but the forum thinks that xxx.xml is a web address and wont let me post cuz I don't have enough posts. If anyone can help me shoot me a PM I'm not gonna spam the forums to get my posts to post a ****ing error log. If I ever met a spammer I would kick him in the nuts for all the bull**** I have to deal with because of the crap...

It'll probably take a couple of hours to compile. The easiest way to get everything included is to file a pull request on Github. Keep in mind I'm not going to accept any applications (so that rules out the real popular MMS patches floating around for the C and M). Most of the stuff for the M is already in the tree, I believe...
Some of the other stuff like cnd probably won't get fixed /just/ yet, but I'll rename the keymap file. What else did you have to change?

Someone mentioned that IHO wasn't computing checksums properly in the general dev thread. Try using another recovery and/or making sure your build box isn't on its way out?
Anyhow I'm using a 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04.3 VM to build everything and it works just fine for me (definitely need to throw some more RAM at the machine tho).

I had to fix a typo on a tag in the mms_config.xml, I think using the cnd from the V was a no no, so i commented out the cnd in the build. There was an extra space in a string in an xml file I can't remember that needed removed. Other than that I just put in the ko files and the gps libs and it was building fine.
I fixed the last error I had which was about 2.5 hours into the build and started the compile over... Then my workstation shut down. It refuses to even post. Tried a new video card to no avail. Dual xeon running rambus ram, LOL. Don't have any parts laying around for it other than drives and video cards.
My port is kind of stalled at the moment, heh.
Just thinking out loud:
Has anyone done a build for the MS690(Metro version)?
Is the "LG Optimus One, P500, > Optimus V Android Development" thread for all Optimus phones? Or just the V?
I was working on the ms690 b4 my linux box died. There are a couple of us working on it.

My last Sprint Gnex ate itself, and now Im not sure Im pretty safe in assuming Im on Stock. But Im not sure why the Toroplus ROMs I download, seem to not want to install. The only thing that DID stick was I corrected the radios as when it was given to me, it had two different radios so Im on 4.2.1 GA02 and they both match now. Im fully rooted (confirmed by Root Checker Pro) reset, and everytime Ive tried to install any ROMs they send my poor little andy on his back with a mean old red triangle coming out his poor belly. and the info tells me that the file is bad. Ive tried this with at least 3-4 ROMS and it's the same result.
Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Black out your IMEI. Or just delete the status screenshot; it's unnecessary. Are you using a custom recovery? What recovery and what version? What ROMs are you trying to flash? If you unzip the ROM what happens? Do any have md5sums?

Thank you for the info. I think it's done.
Im using CWM v. 6.0.3.6
Ive tried the new PAC-MAN 4.3, codename Android, Carbon & AOKP the closest thing I can come across that's close to an mdnsnd found that in AOKP and Carbon. Ive since deleted codename and Carbon Is there any other info you need? Im not a developer or anything. Never really had many problems once I got the hang of it. Usually I can figure it out, but this has gotten me conf*ckulated
Thanks,
Ridge
Oh yeah, sorry, when I try to install it, I get a bunch of mumbo jumbo that basically says its a (bad) file and it aborts the install.
Unzip one of the ROMs. What do you see? Folders? Files?
By md5sum I mean, do the ROM devs provide a md5sum? The purpose is to hash your downloaded copy and make sure it matches the dev's version.
I'm asking both questions to figure out whether the downloads are corrupt.

Im sorry I didnt get back to you sooner, I fell asleep. I cant rest til I know my baby (yes, I said it LOL), is all squared away. So usually I just pass out from exhaustion.
Anyway, when I try to install any of those ROMS i get this:
Finding update package...
Opening update package..
E: can't open /sdcard/o/then the name of the rom.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Then that's all she wrote. Im SO glad I remembered to do a backup before I started messing with my phone THIS time. (I forget a lot of times).
Ive checked all three of my ROMS, and I dont find any md5sums in any of them. It's very strange that either my computer would either corrupt or download 3 ROMS that I feel are usually pretty reliable. I DO however, have a "hash" .txt file in my phone's program. Might that be the trouble? Or is that supposed to be there when I root? Crazy SH*T man. I dunno. I thank you SO very much for all your help. This is quite frustrating. What's a dummy to do? LOL. If I came off snappy to you in my last post, it wasnt meant to be that way. I was just wondering if there was anymore info i could help you with. Im not so good with words sometimes, and I come off as an ass. I AM very appreciated of all your time and help. Doesnt seem like anyone in here really likes to help, and I get a bit cranky when I ask a question in a thread in here and I get made fun of instead of getting any help. So I really am glad for all your time and effort
Thanks so very much,
Ridge
P.S. I always forget all youve asked me... When Ive unzipped all the ROMs, I have folders that have TONS of files in them.

Thanx a bunch ice blue. I've been doing that over and over. I'm gonna try to just DL the files directly to my phone instead if going through my computer. That's going to be my last try before I take this stupid refurb skeet shooting And the phone will NOT be given a gun. LOL!
I really do appreciate the help and suggestions

I've done that 3 times so now this time I get my send dates telling me that I sent stuff on the 31st of December 1969. I don't get it. I am in stock right now. Maybe I should just Odin toroplus instead of just staying in stock? Im just going nutso here, trying everything I can think of starting over from scratch every time. Eesh! But PLEASE keep the suggestions coming, hoping to get this damn thing done right. Soto tallys point in time I'm ready to duct tape this baby to the rear tire of my bike and do donuts on it at about 75 mph for an hour or so. LOL! :banghead: If anyone has ANY ideas, I'm totally open to try anything.
