Hello Galaxy Nexus Xda Users!
Informations:
Here is a simple apk to odex automatically, easily and securely deodexed roms.
This apk has been coded by the famous Paul Obrien from Modaco Roms and Forums.
This guy is just a genious.
The original apk has been done for Galaxy S II but it works on Galaxy Nexus (tested working). --> Original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215271
Paul is even using it in his own Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4 Custom Rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487056
But I tested the apk on other 4.0.3 deodexed roms that you can find in the development section of the Galaxy Nexus and it is working perfectly (Aokp odexed rom is wonderful...)
Odexing a deodexed rom is giving you a boost in smoothness (you can see it in the launcher or in scrolling through system apps), performance and battery.
It gives you the flexibility to have a custom rom with modified system, framework and design AND all the tweaks that come with a custom rom in addition to the performance of an odexed stock rom.
To use it:
1) make sure you have a custom rooted rom / kernel with init.d support (scripts must be able to run at boot: it is a folder in /system/etc). It is very important or it won't run pre-boot scripts... Thanks to open1your1eyes0 who remarked it.
You can try this useful application to add init.d support to your ROM / kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849
2) make sure that you don't have transparent status bar before odexing or you will loose your bar after odexing... (for AOKP users for example). Thanks to frantic912 who noticed it.
3) simply put the apk in /system/app folder with a file browser like "Root Explorer" (the folder must be in RW mode to copy the file)
4) do a nandroid backup in cwm and / or titanium backup of all your apps (even the system ones like Gmail)
5) then go to the launcher
6) tap "Odex me"
7) follow the instructions
It will:
1) reboot your phone
2) odex all the system staying on a black screen or on the Google screen a bit longer than normally (but it's normal)
3) put a ".odex" file with each app in /system/app
4) reboot again
5) go back to home
--> You will then see your boost in smoothness!
For people who are not convinced: check that: http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...e-difference-between-odexed-and-deodexed-roms
To see if it worked:
- Go to /system/app folder and see if there is a ".odex extension" for each system apk.
I attached the apk to this thread for ease of use.
Please write here your tests, opinions, questions, and thank Paul (and me for giving you this info ) for this wonderful and simple apk.
P.S. Please read reports from other users in the thread before trying the apk as some users seem to loose their status bar if they set transparency effects or some of them are having "force closes" if the rom they are using is too much themed...
P.S.2. Pay attention please, as androidphone2012 intelligently noticed, this apk can only odex *.apk files. The system framework is not odexed by it. To odex the framework too, please use the following script instead. It odexes *.apk files and Framework *.jar files too.
--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278586
If you already ran the apk to odex apk files, do not flash that zip: re-flash your ROM, GApps and MODs you're using and then flash the zip.
For your information, I tested the CM10.1 zip from the thread on my AOKP latest nightly build version and it worked flawlessly.
Looks cool. Nothing is attached to your post though.
Can I use it on other devices? (Galaxy si900)
I don't think this works. It rebooted and when I booted back and checked, there were no .odex files in the /system/app folder. Has anyone else got it working?
FYI, tested on 4.0.4 stock deodexed ROM.

Oups Sorry.
I was at work, I attached it but maybe when I posted the thread, it didn't put it...
I reuploaded it...
It's ok now.
Disregard previous post...
Did not have init.d support. Very important or it won't run pre-boot scripts!

You can try, it could work.
I will try this week end as I go to a friend who has a Galaxy S and I will test on his phone.
Will report after but you could do a nandroid backup, test by yourself and report here too

Flashed init.d boot image. All good now.

Thanks. I knew that. Just forgot to post it.
I modified OP to inform about that.

So apparently I spoke to soon...
The app ran this time but after the reboot and odex process, my SystemUI wouldn't load and I ended up with no notification bar up top or any soft-keys at all. Also it was back to stock wallpaper. Not sure what happened, it looked like everything went through fine but I guess my SystemUI is borked.
Recovering from backup now...
I am not sure what caused this issue. I did have modded soft-keys and battery icon however, but I don't see why this would matter if a lot of the custom ROMs have modded soft-keys anyway. I would like to point out this was on stocked deodexed 4.0.4 ROM. If this works for anyone else, I would surely like to know. MAKE SURE you backup before trying.
Thank you Flolep
It works great for me, but I don't know why Gmail disappeared. But it's still in /system/app, so I tried to install and I get this : Application not installed

It's a system app so you can't "install" it. It has to be flashed into the ROM. I have a feeling this app is not exactly the most reliable in working with all the apks.

Well. I didn't have any problem with it... Gmail was still there and my framework and system ui didn't have any problem after reboot...
I tried with modaco 4.0.4 rom that is near stock 4.0.4 deodexed rom and I tried with heavily customized aokp latest aokp build 25 rom, configured for my needs, battery percent, toggles, navigation controls in blue, etc, etc, and all worked seamlessly...
I add to first thread to do a nandroid backup before launching the process.

I will keep in view for this app until more success cases reported
But I definitely will try after back from my vacation, wouldn't risk to brick my device on a trip ;p
I finally found the problem...
I forgot that the custom ROM I'm using needs a sort of modded Gapps pack to be install via CWM.
I think here is the issue.
Worked fine for me. GSM GN on AOKP B25. Just make a backup in cwm before you do it. Worst case scenario: it boot loops, you pop the battery, boot into recovery and restore.
Do you know the muffin man?
need to wipe n install b25 from m3....it's worth..?

Hi everyone,
----Attention to anyone on CM9 wanting to use this package-----
The zip seems to be causing some trouble with CM9 and some users have reported having boot loops after flashing (only on CM9)
If you are on CM9 and want to use the package please push the files across manually to where they need to be.
eg. /system/app and /system/etc read page 2 of this thread for detailed instructions.
**************Update 08/06/2012**************************
Another new update v1.2.1
fixed CWM package file...
added some permission xmls from touchwiz roms, and some libs etc. Hopefully will fix the problems some have been having again with the package.
Link updated below in downloads.
**********
Sorry to those of you who are on a CM based rom who weren't able to get the zip to work, I've updated the zip so it should work on CM, I am unable to test as I'm not on a CM rom so can someone please check it for me and let me know? Thanks.
Download link updated below.
ps. 100 downloads in less than a day!
***********************************************
I like many others have been working hard to port the SGS3's lovely widgets, but like everyone else, I haven't had any real luck ripping them, it seems samsung worked hard to make these ONLY available on the SGS3, but I guess it is just a matter of time until someone is able to port them.... hopefully
Until that time, I decided the next best thing would be to use the SGS2's ported accuweather widget and theme it with the nice images from the SGS3 widget
The background image is semi-transparent and changes depending on daytime/night time/cloudy weather
Have a look at screenshots
Daytime -
Night time -
Cloudy -
Installation
Copy zip file to phone
Then reboot into CWM and flash this file.
Clear dalvik cache
Reboot and enjoy
**If you already have either the digital clock widget or the sgs2 accuweather widgets installed, I would suggest to do a backup with titanium (just in case you want to revert to your old one) and then uninstall them**
Download
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?r90ug8t219kd5sk
If you are happy with the app please hit the thanks button
And if you are really really happy feel free to buy me a beer / donate
In the zip, there is also a digital clock widget, with the number images from the SGS3 ported over too

1st post! welcome to XDA.
Can you tell me which rom are you using, maybe you can try to manually put the files in /system/app and set permissions to 0 , 0 then r-w, r, r,
Did the install with CWM say it was sucessful or not?

Yes it should work fine on JW4.
However as you are on a Touchwiz based rom you might be able to get the real sgs3 widget to work from Twics latest 1.5.1 update see here it is a big pack which adds on a lot of content to your phone and changes icons etc. if you dont want all that stuff I can edit his CWM package if you want so it just includes the widgets...
Here is the link, http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4dwy7yvy5ekhj7i
I edited out all the other stuff and you just have the new touchwiz launcher and the sgs3 widgets. Just put the file on your phone and flash with CWM, I can't guarantee it will work, but if you are on a samsung rom your chances are better than the rest of us I think, let me know how it goes.
New zip added to OP for those of you who are using CM roms, sorry the last zip seems to have only worked for some people, this one should work for everyone fingers crossed.

Yeah but... Touchwiz is... just touchwiz ^^'
It's atm not working for me too. I manually copied these two .apk Files to the /system/app Folder. After that i have wanted to change the permissions but i guess i failed that way...the permissions seem to be basically accurate... Help me guys please
I have just updated the file in the OP, version 1.2
now includes added touchwiz permission xml files and some lib files to system.
Hopefully with these added files it will work for everyone.
Let me know if it works

I use an app from the market called 'super manager' download that and go into the 4th tab to the file manager, once you are in the file manager choose 'back up level folder' up the top of the list, choose this until it takes you back to / (which is root) up the top you should see '/ (r/o)' then go to system, (when going into system it will ask you if you want to modify the file system, it will give you three options 1. do nothing 2. read only, and 3. r/w choose R/W. Now you are in the system folder of your phone, but be careful here because if you change something without knowing what you are doing you could have big problems.. ok now go into app folder and find your file, it will be near the bottom, it is called accuweather.com and under that it will say 'samsungwidget_weatherclock.apk'.
Once you have found the file choose the tick box next to it, now down the bottom of the screen you will see a list of icons; home, copy, cut, paste etc. now slide across to the right and you will see 'attribute' the icon has 777 on it.
Ok now where it says owner: set this number to 0
and where it says group: set this number to 0 as well.
under that you will have your permissions.
you can set owner to read, write, and execute
you can set group to read, write, and execute as well
and you can set other to read, write, and execute as well
it will also work if you just have owner as r-w-- group as r---- and other as r---- but try the above settings first to see if that works for you.
Now you just have to reboot and your widget should install properly
I will assume that you are on a rooted rom though?
And please try the new version 1.2 in the opening post too
Let me know if you have any troubles

Really would like to have the stockdialer with t9 function. Can it be done? Exdialer isn´t the quite same..
Its the same as ics bud...I think
Sent by pocket technology.
I thought of asking the same, as I really miss this, too.
But the source release is ~2 weeks away, so AOKP/CM is about to land here soon. We might just wait untill then :fingers-crossed:
just saw in modacos jb rom in kitchen you can choose cm9´s t9 dialer.. so in other words its already ported for JB. Maby someone can fix a flashable zip with it?
I could get it to work now, I get the Contacts.apk from http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29148-ro...ulti-reboot-power-menu-cm9-t9-dialer-updated/
You have only extract the Contacts.apk from the Modaco build 1.2. I could make a flashable zip but the app is not my work.
this is t9 dialer based on stock dialer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608585
Here's a repacked T9 Dialer (found on Modaco build 1.2) works on JB deodexed ROM. It replaces stock JB dialer. I've tesedt on bigxie rom.
download from box.com
or
here
Note: If you are on odex ROM, you might have a boot loop... please manually push the Contacts.apk and delete Contacts.odex.
Edit: added script to delete Contacts.odex from /system/app/ so it should works on both odexed/deodexed rom.
Iam on JellyBelly and sadly it doesnt work.
It will say "App not installed" when i press my old Shortcut and in Drawer its not to see.

2 quick questions...
1. Should this work on any GNex, or only GSM?
2. Do we install as app, or push to system/app/ and delete original contacts.apk from our ROM?

Are you on odex ROM or deodexed ROM? if you're on the odex ROM, there's /system/app/Contacts.odex needed to be deleted. If it doesn't work for you, I don't have any idea too since I got that app from other rom. By the way, I only tested it in my device and my sister device, both running deodexed rom by bigxie.

1. The file I got is from Modaco CDMA/LTE rom. I use in on my GSM network and it works for me, so I assume it works for both CDMA/GSM.
2. You have to flash the zip through CWM recovery, but can also use adb to push the file to your /system/app
Iam on JellyBelly. So deodexed. Cant understand why it doesnt work there. No big difference to Stock.
Gesendet von meinem A500
you could try:
redownload the CWM-flashable ZIP
renaming the contacts.apk in your /system/app with ESFileExplorer (root needed)
instant reboot to recovery
flash the ZIP file again
reboot and check with ES-File if the new contacts.apk was correctly applied
Now I'm update to android 4.1.1 deodexed rom by Bigxie, and it still works for me. Strange for you though.

The modded app is released before the source code of 4.1 out, and I think it's CM9 app... and to be precised, it is 4.0.4-eng.paul.20120703.185012. You will have to wait for someone do the mod for 4.1 if you want the latest app.
I downloaded and tried to flash but gives me a status 7 code because the zip is designed for gsm phones.
I don't have time to edit the package tonight. Could someone just upload the contact.apk? I can just use root explorer to move it.
Update
I extracted the apk from the archive and moved it to apps. Set the proper permissions and reset but still no go. Doesn't even display or install. Restored my original and back to the drawing board.

I take no credit for this modification, it is not an original idea nor does it contain original code. It's an adaptation of the modification for the GT-I9300 by wanam which can be found here. I simply made a few slight modifications to accomodate the SGH-I747.
That being said, I have not tested this on anything other than a SGH-I747, running a stock, deodexed UCALG1 or UCALH1.
"CWM" HOWTO
Download the appropriate package for your firmware (eg. UCLAG1, UCALH1)
Boot into recovery.
Make a nandroid backup.
Flash package.
Note: Recordings are saved to /sdcard/Sounds.
Also included are *-Rollback.zip files. These will "revert" or "rollback" this modification, returning you back to the STOCK Dialer (without recording). Be sure to flash the appropriate one for your firmware!
Question, where does it store the recording?

Sure. If you don't mind. Otherwise, when i get my dev box set back up, I am pretty sure I can figure it out.
Currently working on a UCALG1 stock firmware build that has all the potential of the phone unlocked (deodexed, zipaligned, BT and WiFi tether enabled, etc.) since i have only been able to find that for the previous firmware (UCALEM). Just makes it easier instead of having to flash to stock UCALG1 and then run a bunch of updates to get back. This way flash back to rooted stock with all the bells and whistles through odin without tripping the counter. :fingers-crossed:
Once I feel like taking the risk of bricking my phone, was going to work on doing the same to UCALH1 and test it out.
i flashed the UCALG1-DEODEX-EnableCallRecording.zip through CWM stock rom but with no flash counter rooted phone yet i do not see the recording feature. is there something i'm missing? any word of advice folks?
i was able to flash the tether app and debloated app through CWM without any issue; so i'm not sure what i'm missing here. thanks in advance

You CAN deodex a stock ROM, but gig would have to either flash a deodexed stock ROM or deodex your apks yourself. In order to apply custom modifications or themes, you'll need a deodexed ROM.
I, personally, run a stock ROM.. stock TouchWiz, etc, justed rooted and deodexed.

I am not deodexed. To run I simply renamed the phone apk and phone odex files in system/app folder to .old then moved the phone apk from the zip to the system/app folder using es file explorer. Rebooted .... record calls!

Call Recording + No Increasing Ring
Attached is a CWM update that incorporates not only the Call Recording found in this thread, but also the mod to not have the increasing ringer which was by yoelsd. Thanks goes to both the OP and yoelsd and too many others that gave guides for decompiling and editing APKs... I also used the CWM zip that yoelsd gave with his update, as the update-script will remove the .odex file since the SecPhone_ATT.apk file is deodexed.
I just tested this out on my stock "Odexed" rooted SGS-III using the UCALG1 Firmware and it works like a charm. Best of both worlds. Maybe the OP can put a link in the first post to this. :fingers-crossed:
CHEERS!
what is this Odexed and De-Odexed business? What's the benefit and why are we doing it?

Odex means there are .odex files present for an application. Example: SecPhone_ATT.apk also has an odex file named SecPhone_ATT.odex. A deodexed application basically has the .odex file complied differently into a .dex file which resides in the .apk. the purpose of odex was for speed but you lose a bit of storage and you cannot usually mod them as easy since part of the program is in 2 places. Deodexed apps tend to use a bit more memory and are not totally optimized for speed (zipalign helps with memory and speed and for the most part differences are negligible) but are the only way you can really make any changes to roms or programs.
There are plenty of resources out there that explain "odex vs deodex" on the interweb via search engine and on this site if searched.

Yup... the update that I posted is good for odexed and deodex roms since I borrowed the update-script that will delete the .odex file when you install it.
See my original post for who all I thanked for their stuff that I used. The only thing I did is take the OPs SecPhone_ATT.apk file for UCALG1 and modify it to include the no increasing ringer... there were guidss int he forums here that showed how to do it. It was easier to do that way, then to try to figure out how to enable call recording and mofiying the other APK to include it... lol
So if you used a DeOdexed rom, you will not notice anything. If you use an Odexed (i.e. stock) rom like I do, you will get a message when the phone boots that android is updating and the only file that will be deOdexed will be the SecPhone_ATT.apk file. If you are rooted, you can verify using file managers on your phone to verify that there is not a SecPhone_ATT.odex file in System/App after the update. If there is, then you can delete it (only if you actually did the update though).
May I present to you....
Stocktimus Series
Why?!
Even if we, by some MIRACLE, (Yeah right LG/Sprint By summer 2014. HA!!) get updated to Kitkat, there seems to be enough interest in another stock based ROM.
This is just a good base to make a Stock ROM the way you want. Just add the zips in Post #2, if you prefer. (WIP)
What this is...
This is just a stock Rom with some Tweaks built into it. If I didn't see an improvement, it wasn't added. It also has apps moved to /data to make it easier to remove what you don't want.
4-20-14 Stocktimus CE -"Custom Edition" added - This one is customized. See Below
You install this at your own risk!!! But really there shouldn't be any problems.
Install
Choose your flavor: Odexed or Deodexed, or CE
In either TWRP/CWM recovery wipe, /system, /data, /cache, and /dalvic. Just DON"T wipe "internal data". That's your SD
Bootup, depending on which ROM, may take up to 4 minutes. The apps from /data are installing.
It never hurts to go to Settings>System Updates, and update profile/prl
Special instuctions for both versions are in their sections.

The Stock versions to make your way are Stocktimus "O" and "D" - versions 1 and 1.5
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Stocktimus Odexed - just like factory-ish and no special instructions
Stocktimus_O_v1 Download________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Stocktimus Deodexed - Used for Theming or....
Special instructions:
First boot can take up to 4min. Be patient
On first boot, to stop LG Keyboard from FC'ing, you'll need to go into Settings>Language & Input, and enable Google Keyboard
If you want LG Keyboard to work, you'll need to run Xposed framework. Info and thread HERE
When it boots up, turn off Wifi. For some reason it always turns itself on when first booted up.
Then go to Settings>System Updates and update Profile, PRL.
Stocktimus_D_v1 Download_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Stocktimus_v1.5 - this will update BOTH Odexed and Deodexed - Only an update, not a ROM
Stocktimus_v1.5 Download
________________________________________________________________________________
Stocktimus CE - Custom Edition
Instructions:
On first boot go to Settings>Language and input> and enable the keyboard. Otherwise, you'll just have voice KB. Also, enable Xposed, and Viper Sound mod.
Stocktimus_CE Download
___________________________________________________________________________________
Stocktimus CE - 1.5
Just a flashable update. This will wipe /cache, /dalvic and init.d scripts. So if you've added any extra scripts to your init.d, you'll need to add them back.
Before flashing, turn off "Eco-mode"/"Quad core control". This update now has scripts to control the CPU/GPU for better battery and the same performance. I've tamed Viper kernel.
I would recommend NOT using any app that will modify CPU. ie Trickster Mod. I made this because Trickster's settings wouldn't stick
See Change log above

Add-ons - updated 4-22-14
Extras and add-ons - Will update these when I get time - (WIP)
Wifi tether settings:
Device Profile>Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Enable Wifi Encryption
That's what I use and it's always worked
And remember, EITHER wifi or Tether per reboot. So if you run one of them, then you need to reboot to use the other.
____________________________________________________________________________
If you want your phone go faster. (Not quite sure how to put that :silly
Go to Settings>Developer Options, about half way down there are 3 settings to adjust timing. Windows,Transition,and Animation. Try those on .5. I just set the Transition one to .5 and I works great for me.
_____________________________________________________________________
Before you do any of the following, make a nandroid backup in recovery!
Kernels:
Stock ZVC - Built in with init.d support. Here
Evolutionmods CodeCraft - this is what Viper kernel is based on - Here
Viper Kernel o/c&u/v - Get it and read it Here
Trickster mod was what I've used with the kernels. But no matter what I tried the settings will eventually change. Using Viper 1.0 or 1.1

4X5 Home Sceen- gets rid of the google search bar and gives you more room on the screen - Thanks to Lrod0175 - 4X5 Launcher Works with Deodex.

I forgot about that, and thanks for trying it.
I remember now that it had to be ported for us. I think international got it and we didn't. Most who tried it didn't feel it was worth the trouble to pursue. I'll talk to Leo and see if it's something I can modify to stock icons.

I'm running actual stock right now. If you want I can pm you a dropbox of the stock boot ani.zip I know you have to set permissions for it to work correctly. And sorry op I didn't mean to hijack the thread with my longass response.
Edit: there seems to be 3 bootups and 2 shutdowns for stock. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k8foh8dyh6oazwz/0xpLsBRl9M
That's a link to all 5 of them. As far as permissions go, I'll post a screenshot from my file manager showing them. You need to paste them in the folder I show, make sure you delete the old bootanimation.zip or it won't work.

That's because your rom is not deodexed. Please read the whole OP. I said that these are for deodexed stock. It was the first warning in the OP.
If you're on a odex rom you will have to delete or rename the odex file for each of the apks included in the zip you flashed.
