EDIT: I apologize for not including this earlier, but I have attached dexopt-wrapper.bin to the bottom of the post. Unzip and push it to system/bin. Then give it the correct permissions which are
Read Write Execute

I haven't seen any tutorials on how to odex an apk sooooo i thought i'd throw one up on here.
Before we begin, of course, a great big thank you to strongsteve, mpcdata and Capp5050.
Well first things first make a nandroid backup in recovery. Once thats done follow these steps.
Apps needed if doing it on the phone:
1. Rom Toolbox (I have the paid version)
(You can also just download a terminal emulator)
2.Get both Root Explorer and Astro File Manager.
3.Use Root Explorer and go to either system/app or data/app (system/app is for system files{most if not ALL of these files are already odexed} data/app is where you can find the apps you've installed from the market{!!!-I'm pretty sure the launchers are in system/app-!!!})
4.Copy the app that you want to odex into a new folder on your internal sdcard named "app"(in case you mess up you don't get problems ;D)
5.I suggest you write down the name of the app so you don't have to go back and forth if you have horrible memory like me =D.
6.Open up your terminal emulator and type
dexopt-wrapper /sdcard/app/insert.name.of.file.here.apk /sdcard/app/insert.name.of.file.here.odex
7.Press enter and check that new folder you made named "app", you should see both the .apk and the .odex file.
8.Next long press the .apk file in Root Explorer and hit Open With and then select Astro File Manager. Astro should pop up with three choices, you're going to click Browse File.
9.In that file you should see "classes.dex". DELETE that file.
(NOTE: you MUST do this from within Astro because if you unzip it will break the signature and file will be usless{unless you can resign it})
10.Once done you exit Astro and head back into Root Explorer, copy the .apk and .odex files and put them back into the folder you got the original .apk from (system/app or data/app)
11.Once you put both of them in there you need to fix the permissions, simply long press on the files (one at a time ;D) and scroll down the pop-up menu to Permissions.
12.You will have three columns Read, Write and Execute along with three rows Owner, Group and Others.
Your Permissions should be (this is for both .apk and .odex)
Read Write Execute
--X----X-----------
--X----------------
--X----------------
(I've attached a picture below of what your permissions should look like)
13.Once your permissions match the above diagram hit OK and restart your phone and your app is officially ODEXED.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I'll be glad to help with as much as i can. =D
NOTE:To Everyone: If i forgot something PLEASE let me know.
: To Mods: If this shouldn't be here please move it (if unnecessary, delete it)
Alred hit yo button but just wanted to say thank you in writing.
....um one major thing...your gonna need dexopt-wrapper script in system/bin to be able to odex within the rom
Was actually just wondering about that cause my script was in the rom already. Ill look into that in a few cause I'm going back to bed XD and you're welcome Cole I hope it has clear instructions XD

Im not sure but check to see if the app folder you created is App or app and try it however it is there
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
You can also try odexing it from within its originl folder
Ex. dexopt-wrapper /data/app/galleries.apk /data/app/galleries.odex and then copy the apk somewhere outside the data folder and delete the classes.dex file then put it back in the data folder and set permissions.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
If you have root you could copy it to your SD card with Root Explorer from the Market. Titanium Backup would let you back it up and restore the backup on another ROM.
Needs to be pushed to system\app with root explorer. Then reboot.

I've tried mounting and unmounting, trying to delete multiple times, etc... Also re-starting. Nothing has worked.
Try renaming then deleting. if all you are trying to do is install a new bootanimation, then just rename the old to something else, and copy the new one into system/media and rename it bootanimation.zip all lowercase

Do you know how to use adb in recovery? It will give you better results. Go into record dry go to mounts and storage and mount sdcard then go to a command prompt and push it over unmount sdcard then reboot
Still getting nothing from this. Tried different downloads, and checked permissions. Each download either goes black, or just shows the Android logo. Never used ADB.

Is there proper permissions holding me back? Check what boxes in each?
Download the CM10SavesZip.zip from OP
Extract the Zip file into a folder in your download directory
Inside the Zip file are 2 folders "Horizontal" and "Vertical"
Choose which orientation you want and open that folder
Go to the 480 folder and copy the bootanimation.zip to /system/media and set permissions to rw-r--r--
Reboot and enjoy new animation
Don't forget to rename the bootanimation.zip that is already in that folder. I used bootanimation1.zip

Have you checked the zip to seeing there's an apk inside? You may need to manually push it to /system/app and set permissions
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Just out of curiosity, do you have to be rooted and running a custom rom to use the Emoji keyboard? Also, Will this allow you to see Emoji everywhere they are use ei Twitter, instagram?
Yes the zip has an apk inside but I didn't push it to system because it also has libs and other files inside that I don't know how to install and where to put.

I don't think they've worked all the kinks out of that cam for all roms yet. Current workaround is to tap to focus before each shot, or shoot in action mode. See if that works for ya.

Working fine here on my end. Very nice too. I dig it.
For those of you having trouble flashing... just extract the two .apks from the zip with a file explorer, and also the lib file... we'll make this simple and I'll tell you just copy all files to the directories indicated below:
Copy the two apks to /system/app/ directory...
Now copy the lib file to /system/lib/ directory...
Reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then fix permissions.
Success.

Basically all the 10.1 tons create an emulated ad card and place all your data from your original sdcard into a 0 folder inside that emulated apace. In order to fix it. You copy all the items inside the 0 folder and move them to the outside which would be the root . if you restore back to stock you would still have the 0 folder . so just move them from 0 to internal sdcard and then delete the folder. If you deleted the folder you are actually deleting you actual files and not copies of them. There are other suggestions and that's where people suggested teaching through the forums.
