What will I gain from deodexed roms?
What will I loose?
Sent From My HTC Evo Using Tapatalk Pro!
odex - more free space, faster boot, a little snappier.
deodex - customization (tweaks, themes ,fonts, etc.)
thats pretty much the big picture...
deodexed is preferred because u can just customize the phone in many ways... odex leaves u pretty much stuck at the same place u would be on a stock rom.
i do think this belongs in another thread.
Odexed - Unthemeable and MARGINALLY faster.
DeOdexed - Themeable and more space in system.
I really couldn't tell a difference as far as speed.
So far the biggest difference I can tell is that I had an odexed rom and I just flashed the latest update deodexed and titanium backup couldn't restore 90% of my data... I'm hoping this is an odexed vs deodexed thing and not a corrupt backup that passed verification thing..
To me the biggest advantage of going with an Odexed version is you can download updates from the Marketplace for the included apps when they become available. For example, if Google pushes an update to GMail or Sprint pushes an update to the Voicemail app, and you're on a deodexed ROM, you can't get it directly from the Marketplace....

Yea, I get updates all the time for my apps...
As far as downloading/updating apps it doesn't matter if it is deodex our odex; it depends on wether the rom is signed our not as far as I know.

I see. Apologies for spreading misinformation, apparently all the de-odexed ROMs I used previously we not re-signed then, or something.

The issue you are seeing is actually associated to ROM developers signing their apks with test keys.
Upon updating in the market, Android verifies the signing authority and if they don't match what they are in the Market, it fails to update.
DeOdexed or Odexed, If they are signed properly, things will update

I just flashed the new DeOdexed version as well and the big difference I can see is that I lost 35mb of app storage space. This is a bit of a issue for me. As soon as the Odex version is out I am going to reflash.

If you used the Deodexed rom that was released yesterday, the version of Busybox was the culprit for me. The rom came with some version 1.71 or something Busybox, and when I'd try to restore my backups, my phone would just reboot. I let Titanium install it's own Busybox (1.60 I believe) and it worked fine.
Everything updates....
just fine from the market. No issues here.

I have installed them over the latest cm nightly and on a fresh nightly install yet it seems to bring up the same apps to install and the same versions at that...am I missing something here? Doesn't our google apps installer just point to the market and not actually install any apps? Why would it even matter what version the gapps were then? Please someone break this down for me!

For the most part yeah it just points you to the Market apps. But some things like the Market itself, News and Weather, Calendar, and Talk are not on the market and come with the gapps flash.
Also, where did you get 0617? The latest I see is 0613 here http://goo-inside.me/gapps
Edit: 0613 is also the latest on ROM Manager

I am so sorry I was doing it from memory I meant to say 0613. So if I flash the latest package on top of my current nightly will it update those things that you named that are not included on the market? Thank you for taking the time to answer me I figured I would get ignored since it was a noobie question.
Also I'm on mobile app so I can't fix the thread title sorry everyone!

Hmm that would make sense. But can't the market just autoupdate itself? And why does the cyanogen wiki page and rom manager still povide 0307 as the latest? Weird. After extensive google searching there is nowhere that lists what is actually included in the google apps package. Some places have summaries but nowhere has an actual breakdown of what is included and what version, what the hell!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Yeah the market does autoupdate itself but this way you just start with the latest version I guess, and why not
Also, the wiki is only as up to date as those who maintain it

Stock apps as in stock sense? From a non-rooted mytouch or just the google apps? I would suggest looking for the cm wiki and downloading the google apps package from there, you might have the wrong set.

Hello there,
I have a rooted t999, unlocked. After going through multiple posts on this forum, I have realized that to enable the call recording feature on your samsung galaxy s3 t999, you got to install a custom ROM.
But, is there any way to update a .apk (or any other method) , compatible with the stock ROM on t999 which might enable the call recording feature back?

Here is the one from FreeGS3 r6.
This is NOT my work!
This the stock UVALG1 Dialer app modded by uoY_redruM, dev for the FreeGS3 rom. All thanks and credit goes to him!
(Try out his rom, btw. It is awesome!)
This should work on any stock based rom though.
I'm pretty sure this is where the mod is included. Not sure right now if its dependant on another modded apk as well. Heading to work so will check later if this doesn't work by itself.

So will this not work on custom ROMs?
Its the samsung dialer so itll only work on stock based roms.
It'll likely be dependant on other parts of the touchwiz framework and is integrated along with contacts and such.
You can try it but I would be extremely surprised if it worked on anything like CM or ASOP.

Wait, sorry I shoulda been specific I guess! I don't think you can install like a normal app.
Use root explorer and copy the original from /system/app for your backup.
Pay attention to the permissions it has and copy the modded one over the old. Change permissions to what they were before. Reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik, then reboot system.
Test.

Thanks a lot Doc!
This is quite interesting! Although I have root explorer, I am terrible with the android stuff and so I am worried about replacing this apk with the existing phone.apk. (its the lack of "recovery" knowledge that scares me to go ahead)
Has anyone of you experts made the dialer work so far through this integration of FreeGS3 phone.apk on the stock ROM?
Cheers!
Another thing that I just figured - In my stock ROM, I do not have a phone.apk (attaching screenshot)
Which app should be backed up? I am guessing that the GS3 apk should be renamed as the stock ROM apk. correct?
http://db.tt/t7Ig4rsG
Edit 2:
guys, just figured out that there is actually an .apk called SecPhone_TMO.apk (kept searching for phone.apk )
so, please ignore the screenshot above!
although, will wait for someone to try replacing the stock ROM .apk with the GS3.
Worked perfect on Wicked's ROM. Have to move the stock phone APK out of the system\app directory and replace it with Doc's. Make sure to put the phone in airplane mode first.
Question - where are the recordings stored?
Thanks for the awesome mod!
They are stored at /sdcard/sounds/
Thank uoy_redrum at the freegs3 thread. Its his work not mine.
.....hope he didn't mind me sharing it like this. Shoulda asked first.
Ill check with him to be sure though.
You guys should try his rom. He's an outstanding dev and very helpful!

I wouldn't worry much about it. Especially if you make a copy of the original file as a backup on extSDcard.
Titanium backup works really well too.
Biggest thing to remember is the permissions.
If you can boot into recovery, wiping cache is no big deal at all. Wiping dalvik isn't bad either. When you reboot it'll rebuild dalvik but will use the new app you copied into system.
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE ANYTHING!!!
That's the most important yhing you can do when messing with anything. It basically creates an exact image/snapshot of your current setup so you can go back to it at anytime.
Nandroid = Peace of Mind!

Hi Everyone,
Yesterday I uploaded a completely stock/rooted Telus TLUMC4 build. I received a lot of positive responses in regards to the build (thank you everyone) and I had a request from @Rushing to create one for the TMobile UVMC6 release. After searching through the threads I was only able to find the Odin flashable version of the update and slightly tweaked/modded variants. So, I decided to make one and share with everyone here in the community.
This is the official TMobile T989UVMC6 firmware downloaded from the SamMobile website. I have rooted, installed busybox, zipaligned and deodexed.
I don't intend to add any additional tweaks/mods to this ROM. It is meant strictly for people that want the official UVMC6 release but don't want to have to flash via odin and reroot.
Also, if any dev's or chefs want to use this as a base for their ROM please feel free to do so, you do not need to PM me to ask for permission. However, I do ask if you choose to use this base in your ROM please give me a thanks/thumbs up in the OP.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (If followed exactly as below you should not have any issues)
- You must be rooted and have TWRP 2.4.4.0 custom recovery installed
- Download and place the Infamous Cache Wipe and Infamous Super Wipe scripts from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235141 on either your internal or external SD Card. This will be needed for later. Thanks to @Jamison904 @thederekjay and Team Infamous for this fantastic tool.
- Reboot into TWRP 2.4.4.0 recovery and create a nandroid backup (Always do this step before flashing any ROM)
- Go to Wipe, Advanced Wipe and select Data, System,Cache and Dalvik (then swipe to wipe)
- Press the home button and select the Infamous Super Wipe Script
- Click on add another zip file and choose Infamous Cache Wipe
- Click on add another zip file and choose TMobileT989UVMC6RootedDeodexed.zip
- Swipe to install all 3 files
- Reboot (First boot may take approx 5mins, be patient)
- Wait 10mins after first boot and allow phone to sit (do not log into your account)
- Reboot again and setup your account
- Enjoy

ROM downloaded fine... Checked md5 on PC and then on my phone SD card... They matched perfectly fine.
Everything works apart from :
1. No Google account in accounts in settings... I couldn't add my Google account...
2.Location is not working in apps
3. Play store is there in system/apps but with unidentified icon (like a permission problem?).. But no icon in app drawer... Tried deleting this apk and adding one and fixing permission, after reboot it was there but closes as soon as it opens..
I'm using cwm 6.0.3.1 from sk8 and did full wipe for everything before flashing.. By the way tried to do everything twice and same result.. I'm not new to the flashing business lol ..
I'm using at&t unlocked skyrocket on T-Mobile...

I'm using at&t unlocked skyrocket on T-Mobile...

I know how a bad download or bad flash would look like... It's very unlikely that a bad download would run perfectly fine and just no Google account to be added..

I didn't change anything from the stock T989 UVMC6 firmware downloaded from Sam Mobile. This is the exact same release you would get when you flash/update via Samsung Kies. All I did was root it, installed busybox, zipaligned and deodexed. Nothing was added or removed from the official firmware.
I am not familiar with what needs to be done in order to get the Skyrocket (i727) to work with Hercules (T989) ROMs. I am thinking maybe there is some conflict there. The official Firmware for the Skyrocket would be I727UCMC1. I could create a rooted, busybox, zipaligned and deodexed version of the I727UCMC1 for you to test out and see if that works for you instead, since it would be specific to your device.
I would also suggest to run the Infamous super wipe and infamous cache wipe (as per the OP) and then try and reinstall this ROM again.
There shouldn't be an issue with the ROM itself since nothing was tweaked/removed from official release. There looks to be some type of conflict though with your device and the stock UVMC6 firmware.
Let me know if you are interested in the UCMC1 i727 version. I can create one for you and PM the link to you to try. Let me know.
Thanks chochiwpg so much., I didn't mean your ROM has problems and I'm sure it's not packaging and or a zip problem, but wondered if T-Mobile/Samsung removed the ability to add a Google account, heard sometime ago that some people had play store issues with the official kies update...
I'm currently using my skyrocket with T-Mobile... And now I'm on UCMC1 deodexed from mohan so I'm already on stock att jb , thanks.. I wanted to try the stock T-Mobile jb thinking it would give me better performance with T-Mobile but I guess I'll stick with ucmc1 ROM and it's radio which gives me LTE...(For some reason I noticed the uvmc6 is a hair smoother than ucmc1)..
Thanks op again...

I sure will! I've been on cm10 because I could never get the stock Rom to root for me! I only like it because of unlimited tether capabilities! If I could get stock to do that, it would awesome!

if you use chrome on your desktop or laptop, download user-agent switcher for chrome then switch to either opera or safari and that should give you unlimited tethering as long as you have an unlimited plan. thats what i do. if you try it let me know if it works for ya.
Wifi Calling?
Does this ROM have wifi calling on it?
This nfc fix is designed for 4.3 TW roms.
For older versions, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083
Install Instructions:
Navigate to /system/csc
Open features.xml
Look for <!-- NFC -->, and replace that section with the following:
Code:
<!-- NFC -->
<CscFeature_NFC_SetSecureEventType>GOOGLE</CscFeature_NFC_SetSecureEventType>
<CscFeature_SmartcardSvc_SetAccessControlType>NONE</CscFeature_SmartcardSvc_SetAccessControlType>
<CscFeature_NFC_DefaultCardModeConfig>ESE</CscFeature_NFC_DefaultCardModeConfig>
<CscFeature_NFC_CardModeRoutingTypeForEse>ROUTE_ON_WHEN_SCREEN_ON</CscFeature_NFC_CardModeRoutingTypeForEse>
[COLOR="Red"]<!-- If you want the NFC icon in the statusbar add this line, otherwise remove it -->[/COLOR]
<CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType>Att</CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType>
Download file below
Flash file in recovery
Install wallet by following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457569
Notes:
If you installed any other nfc fix, you'll need to revert back to your rom's "stock" system. Just flash your rom again.
This will work on either odexed or deodexed roms, as it will remove any associated .odex files.
Devs:
This is a modified Nfc.apk taken from a Sprint build.
Here's a rundown of what's happening:
NfcService looks at /system/etc/nfcee_access.xml and checks for the Google wallet signature.
It also looks at /system/etc/security_nfc_profile.dat for certain files and their sha-1. If it can't match the file with it's sha-1 it marks the system as tampered and will not allow access to the secure element.
This modified Nfc.apk will always return true when it looks at security_nfc_profile.dat.
To-do:
Create a script that will modify features.xml during install.

Report: I just installed wallet according to the new post of yours and it all went well. I'm on MBJ bootloader and also on yours att deodexed 4.3 Rom. Here's the screenshot:

Works great! Been trying everything in the Wallet thread for weeks and never got it working until now!

Also, after I made the changes to the feature.XML file, I made a copy to my sdcard so I can just paste it should I have to reflash my ROM. Might not work if I upgrade or change my ROM, but if I bork and have to reflash it.

This is the s3 forums, I have a working zip for the note2, but androidfilehost is down right now. So here it is. I'll probably be making some threads soon.
I can finally upgrade to 4.3, just needed a working Wallet. Thanks so much for figuring this out!:laugh:
EDIT: Finally flashed to 4.3. This is what I did. I forgot to disable Wallet, so I did so through the website, wallet.com. After flashing I edited the xml file, then I booted into recovery and flashed the nfc fix. Then I downloaded and pushed the new .apk. When I booted up, the wallet icon did not appear in the notification bar. And after setting up, I have tap and pay not available. What went wrong?
T-Mobile SGS3, Stock rooted T-Mob 4.3, nfc fix from your thread and modded 2.0-R141-V14 .apk
EDIT: I just noticed that auto-upate is on by default in the playstore. I didn't notice any update, but I wonder if that's what did it. Never mind, somehow I got the wrong .apk.
EDIT: Turns out it was the old MD5 modem. I was on wifi the whole time after flashing and didn't notice I did not have a cell signal. Wallet tap and pay is setting up! Thanks!!!
Thank you very much for the work that went into this NFC fix and for the work that has gone into the modified Wallet.apk. I had forgotten to reboot after pushing the app to system/app and the tap to pay feature kept failing. As soon as I rebooted and tried again, it worked. The real test will come when I can actually make it to a store to test. Thanks again.
After I pushed the right .apk and flashed the right modem to get a cell signal, everything set up fine. Used it tonight and had to explain to someone who was so impressed he wants to buy a Nexus or a Sprint GS3.

This worked for my TW 4.3 Note 2
Thanks so much for this thread. I'm happy it give the technical nitty gritty details as well as instructions. Tap to pay is now working on my T999 running rooted stock 4.3.
will this work for a vzw sgs3 with isis as well? i have isis and wallet on my vzw s3 and both are working right now. but not when i upgrade to 4.3 so i've temporarily reverted back to 4.1.2
Does this has to be done on s4 running 4.3 rom?

It should work, although I haven't tested or heard of anybody that has. If it works for you please let me know.
