Are deodexed ROMs able to work with Link2SD ? Or Link2SD supports only odexed ROMs ?
Are deodexed ROMs faster than odexed ?
1) You can use LINK2SD with deodexed roms.I'm using it for 2 months.
2) I saw some people saying odexed roms are faster and smoother than deodexed.
I've ran a bunch of different ROM's on my Wildfire S. Some were CM7, some were CM9, some were odexed, some were de-odexed.
Odexed ROM's have the odex files in the APK's, making it technically faster, but harder to mod.
De-odexed ROM's have had the odex files removed from the APK's and stored seperately, making it technically slower but easier to make modifications, as you do not have to decompile APK's to change them.
Link2SD had no problems with any of the ROM's in my experience, and despite the technical jiggery-pokery, its been my experience that after initial boot after flashing, de-odexed ROM's are actually quicker. So much for theory, huh?

I am not sure but I think you made a mistake. Deodexed ROM have the odex files in APK and Odexed ROM have odex files seperately, according to me.

It's one or the other. I don't like to get bogged down with all the low-level technical ****, someone else can do that, it doesn't interest me much.

Link2SD will definitely support both odex and de-odex ROMs.
You won't notice any speed difference between the two, but you will notice a HUGE space savings (internal memory) with odex ROMs. The only downfall, as someone mentioned, is that odex'ed ROMs are harder to theme (but not impossible).
This is correct:

Thank you all for your answers. Especially to Tigger.
Reodexing is really easy and gives you space, especially if you don't plan on theming it. (CM themes chooser still works).

According to what i have learnt about .odex files is that these are the files containing the information of the .apk file which separately is used in the loading of the app which makes the odex rom faster than the de-odexed which contains the odex part in the .apk file which takes time to load along with the app..
EQDKPv5.0_multi_odexed_mhr_2
Can someone just confirm for me pls what cm number if it is or if its right for my wildfire s A510e.
I have tried so many diff roms i've got to the point now that i cant remember whats what and i wish i didn't start messing with it
The zip is branded with this name EQDKPv5.0_multi_odexed_mhr_2 but when i enter to search details on it i dont get any.
Thanks in advance

From what i understand, deodexing is for theme-ing but odexed apps run faster.
Why doesn't someone release odexed versions of their roms for speed freaks?
I have never really seen a difference when running odexed, but it would be nice to have the option.
Aside from the very first boot up, speed will be exactly the same.
As far as I know the only thing faster in odexed roms are the bootup times.
Adrynalyn does a good job explaining this in one of his threads. I'll try to hunt it down and post it.
Great news mendozinas uot owner accepted my request of m1ndh4x8r rom in kitchen's list. So now we dont have to upload any files. we just choose it from the list. not sure havent tried it yet. Ill test it tomorrow. also if you like to donate to me just give it to mendozinas. im so happy.
check it out
go to http://uot.dakra.lt/
Edit: Other deodexed gb2.3.5 eu roms can use it to cause it has stock system files.
Awesome. Will have fun with this for a couple of days =DDD
I tried uot kitchen online with a stock rom (odexed) and used m1ndh4x8r's rom from the list. It worked. So no need to deodex a stock rom or upload any system file.
thats good. did your statusbar not dissapear?
no, it did not. I used mods for scroll glowing, loading circle and statusbar icons. they all work fine for me.

I'm wondering if someone can help me.
I'm trying to add AOKP ROM control into my ROM. It's 4.0.4, but AXIOM is 4.0.4 with ROM control so it shouldn't be a problem.
I can't for the life of me figure out all the files I need to change to add it in. I know I have to make changes to SystemUI and framework-res, but I know I'm missing some apps and probably some changes in the apps I already know about.
What are all the things I need to change?
Anyone got anything?
You need to look at the source

I have, but I can't compare it with 4.0.4 source because it's not available yet.
axiom is only 4.0.4 files that are unchanged from stock files in aokp. All of aokp based mods in axiom are using the 4.0.3 files. They are not 4.0.4 files with the relevant mods added to them (I've compared modded apk's, like framework-res.apk, and it is not the 4.0.4 file). I'm pretty sure there's an extra apk for the rom control settings that's not part of a stock rom. I think most of the rom 'cooks' rename it, so the filename might vary.

I found that apk, but it doesn't do anything unless extra changes are made. I'm trying to find the exact lines in the 4.0.3 apk code and copying them over, but no luck
I'm just curious, do you guys usually flash the stock or the de-odex'd. And why do you flash the version you do? I know most people flash de-odex'd because they can be themed. But at the rate we are getting the leaks, wouldn't it be better to go with stock since apparently it's faster?
I always flash Stock Odex but the rom im trying out at the moment is not.

Just saying, the idea that odexed can't be themed is essentially a myth. Most themeing you see is done to apks resources (layouts and images) which can be modified just the same whether or not your Rom is odexed or deodexed.
Edits to jar files in specific themeing cases might require a baksmali to odex and then a dexopt -wrapper but ultimately this just translates to a bit more time but is completely plausible.
So first and foremost , odexed roms can be themed. It just appear themers prefer themeing deodexed so the idea that ONLY deodexed can be themed has become a "general rule". Deodexed roms simply make it easier to edit smali cutting down the process time.
Anyway, if you dont plan on themeing then go odex. If you do, it seems like that is the flavor of themers so unless you want to dive in yourself then you'll have to honor the trend. The speed difference you'll notice won't be *huge* between the two. The most significant difference is first boot on odex will be faster.
I've run my share of odex and deodex roms and I can't say there is a noticeable or significant hit on performance during day to day use on a device such as this.
On the new TW MM ROM Xposed seems to work without having the ROM deodexed so I am curious if there are any other advantages in doing so.
EDIT: Can't believe that I wrote "reason" wrong...

Other than theming not really. In fact deodex is slower than odex(although you probably won't notice it).
Thanks man
