As some of you may know, odexed roms offer better battery life and superior performance compared to deodexed roms, but the one drawback is that they're harder to mod. I was looking for a odexed rom (coming from the HTC One X, almost all stock roms were odexed, so I expected the same, lol) but couldn't find a single one. So I went on a search to find a script or something to odex the rom I was using, and I came across this!
"Odex Me" by Paulobrien! Here's the link to the original thread, all credit goes to him! :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215271
Now here's where my part comes in, my step-by-step guide!
This will work on ANY DEODEXED ROM, I'm compiling a list of confirmed ones however for you guys that are weary of this.
*Use this only AFTER you've made any changes to the framework or flashed .zips that change the framework.*
First and foremost, make a backup! You should always do this before messing with system files!
1) Make sure you have a rooted rom, without root the app won't do much but install.
2) Allow "Unknown sources" by going into Settings > Security > and scroll down.
3) Download the .apk either down below, or from the link above.
4) Install as a normal app.
5) Open the app, make sure you give it root access, and it will run.
6) Let it run, it will reboot your phone, take around 5-10 minutes, and then reboot again. You will be greeted by "Android is upgrading" which means its rebuilding your dalvik cache.
7) Once its at the lock screen, done! You can make sure it did its job by using a file explorer with root access (I use Root Browser, if that helps) and go to the root of your phone's memory, go to system > app, and you should see a bunch of "appnamehere".odex files.
You will see a noticeable increase in performance with all the system apps like Messaging, Phone, Browser, etc. And because all the base apps are now odexed, you will also see an increase in battery life as well.
List of ROMs confirmed working
FreeGS3 R6 (confirmed by me, using it currently)
Intrigue ROM
Crimson v4
Wicked v2 (confirmed by as well, check post #48 for screen shots)
Let me know if you think there's a way to make the guide more clear, or add some information in. I will also try and answer all questions you may have! Enjoy this, its truly amazing!
If you're having issues with it not odexing on ANY rom, try using the Trinity kernel. I've tested every rom with Morfic's kernel and it works flawlessly. Don't forget to thank him for his work! :good:
Trinity Kernel, use the latest #46 release for best results and speed.
Please, if it worked for you, let us know what rom you're running so others can be assured that it works!
Here are some sources that explain the benefits of odexing in more technical and specific terms.

Because it splits the .apk (app package) into two parts, the .apk and a .odex file. Usually, for the phone to use an app, it has to decompile the .apk and get the parts it needs to run the app. With the odex files, which stands for "Optimized Dex" the startup time is much faster since the phone doesn't have to perform any optimizing at startup/runtime, and because of that, it also uses less CPU power, and thus makes it faster, smoother, and battery life is increased.

Eh. Im always the guy running stock odexed. But reodexing seems a little...idk. Awesome that you would bring this over though, i know in the one x section you are hard pressed to find a deodexed rom.

Well after flashing a deodex rom (all the roms here) and any add ons, running this to make the phone faster and increase battery life is nothing short of amazing. Don't have to compromise over customization, or performance.
And yeah, its because of the One X that I realized the benefits lol
I personally prefer odexed roms as well because of the overall smoothness. But I really wanted the features of some custom Roms. This app is perfect...thank you for sharing!

Ran across a thread today detailing how to use deodex and odex both in the same rom. Seems very interesting and I don't see why we couldn't do this with the E4GT. Here's the thread detailing it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437799
I'll try it in a bit and report back. If anyone else does it before me, let us know if it works.
EDIT: I was a bit misled by the title (it was too early). It changes the verify-bytecode and a couple other things. It doesn't actually give you both, just the claimed performance boost you have when using odex ROMs. If you want odex/deodex ability on the fly or to have odex but retain the proper file inside the .apk in order to update/mod we already have something for that
That being said, this *should* give you the same performance without actually odexing a ROM.
EDIT 2: So I tried it, prevented my phone from booting. Don't change the dalvik-cache flags. Not sure if they vary from ROM to ROM but on Calks 2.8.1 it's set to m=y so leave it at that. Otherwise you'll probably have the same issue I did. The important part is telling it not to verify the bytecode.
interesting.. thanks for the share.

I would assume you get the best of both worlds. The customization you get with deodex but the lower RAM usage, faster boot times, and overall buttery smoothness you get with odex. Of course none of the claims made for odex have been throughly proven but that's the general consensus.
Mik used to do this with his sense 3.0+ roms on the og evo

~ Rooted

~ Zipaligns at first boot

Smooth. No tweaks...just stock ROM that's been optimized and a few tmobile apps gone. A good Base Stock ROM. Only thing is that in the Video app...only 2 of my 22 videos are animated. This happened on another ROM...but works perfectly on stock Samsung.
If you're looking for a STock ROM that's smooth with no CIQ. This is it.

With this new phone, the learning begins all over again, this time around I am a bit wiser to the phones hardware and to the rom's capabilities. Now this will enable Developers, Themers & Kernel cookers to explore their development skills and to take a stab a themes.
Now I have to spend time with this phone and identify the bloatware and look for the right tool to remove them.
Thanks again oka1
Excellent Rom
I love this Rom - to me it is the best out there. Everything works fine. It's plenty fast with a stock kernel, no quirks from what I've seen. I've tried CM9 and other roms which are good, but this is a good base Rom.
Maybe some of you on custom ROMs have noticed that your second core functions strange, which would also mean terrible battery life and abnormally hot phones.
Well, this is due to something causing the cores to switch governors to "performance" upon boot. The only way to fix it is from a script or other app that controls CPU. That's not all. The second core seems to not function according to specs. It will either always stay on, or always stay off. mpdecision doesn't appear to work properly.
Well, I've narrowed this down to "samsungani" and "samsungpowersound" which are located in /system/bin/. Removing these at an attempt to get custom boot animations working and to get rid of boot sounds are what's causing the funky core behaviors.
The fix is to restore the two files and chmod them 755 as well as chgrp to 2000 to get them back to the way they're supposed to be.
I'm not sure if any of this effects custom kernels but it sure does on the Stock kernel.
The file I uploaded will restore the samsungani and samsungpowersoundplay files to /system/bin/ as well as copy over silent PowerOn and PowerOff sounds.
Wow that's awesome that you figured this out. Great job!!

Well, it really only will matter if your current ROM includes a different boot animation and/or removes those files. In any other case, it will do nothing.

OK thanks again love the rom I know you get asked this a lot but if you ever need a tester let me know I use to test for mijuah but my son stole my s2 so I'm bored now lol.
Zip applied, and I had to duplicate the process to confirm what I thought I saw:
Been running blazer 1.6 for a few days now and I honestly don't know what (if any) boot animations are built into that rom, but in the spirit of testing (and flash addiction) I used this zip.
This is what I noticed (and duplicated to confirm)--
Chainfire's live dmesg/logcat (I used paid versions) were replaced by this zip file.
When I "reinstalled" the first attempt found no boot animation files. I attempted install again and this time it did indeed "repair" the logcat/dmesg boot screen.
This is my first dual core so I have no experience in these apps working or not on such phones.
If this is wide spread then perhaps chainfire might want to look into an update to his code, if this is specific to the sgs3 then maybe we have deeper issues to delve into.

It took me a while, but I finally rooted my phone to get rid of the bloatware and to be able to install an ad blocker, now I'm wondering what good OS's there are out there so far? In the past with my Epic 4G, I spent a lot of time trying different OS's and ended up quite frustrated, though mostly because I never really found one I was that happy with and ended up in a situation where I changed OS's so much that I didn't even bother to customize my phone anymore because it would just be a couple of days before I had to start over again. This time around I figured I'd ask the peanut gallery first to get some informed opinions rather than just installing random OS after random OS. I'm looking for something lean, efficient, and stable. Also, and I'm not sure if this is an issue with the S3 like it was with the Epic 4G, but if there are things like CIQ that need to be removed, I would want those features as well.

I actually meant is there a second vote for the rom, but this does bring up another point and that is that I'd prefer something without much theming. I like Jellybean, but I want something that has had all of the bloat stripped away and all of the beneficial tweaks for performance and battery life already in place.

I want to start off by saying that I am by no means a developer, just someone who is interested in learning how to develop and theme custom ROMS, and wanted to learn disxda’s kitchen while at the same time hopefully giving back however I can to such an awesome community.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for YOU messing up your phone. Flash at your own risk
This is built from the SPH-D710BST_GC01_1014517_Rooted_Restore.tar.md5 http:///www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung%20Galaxy%20S2%20%28Boost%29%20%28SPH-D710BST%29/Stock%20ROMs/JB/GC01/Full%20Restore/Rooted
This may be used as a base for ROM developers. All I ask for is credit for taking the time to put this together.
This DOES NOT wipe the internal storage.
This DOES not include a custom kernel, and you WILL lose custom kernel/recovery when you flash. However, I have posted a link to Garywnn’s OP, with his permission, of course, which has the latest and greatest GC01 SPH-D710BST kernels with Agat’s recovery. Version 3.0 is the latest as of this post, and I have confirmed that it works with this ROM, as is it what I’m using with it at the moment.
This DOES NOT wipe the data partition.
ROM has been tested on Boost and Sprint (Thanks Stryke_the_Orc and MoHoGalore). If anyone wants to take a chance and see if it works on Virgin, it’d be much appreciated. Let me know if it works!

Installation Instuctions:
1. Download the ROM zip to your phone
2. Reboot to recovery (I used SXTP’s GC01 3.0) or Odin to EL26Link
3. Wipe cache/dalvik(Good habit) – If you want to wipe everything, use JB Format x2
4. Flash Modem (If needed. You need JB Modem to have data)
5. Select install zip from sdcard
6. Select choose zip from sdcard if your zip file is on the external sdcard or select choose zip from internal sdcard if you downloaded the zip right to your phone
7. Select the zip. If you downloaded directly to your phone it is in the Download folder. Otherwise, it is wherever you put it
8. Select Yes
9. Wait a moment while it installs
10. Reboot, give it a few minutes to boot up for the first time
11. Enjoy!

Why would people make it hard on you. This is your first release and you did it the proper way. Gave credit to those who deserve it. Nice job on first release.

This place is like a labyrinth. Just saw this and all I can say is "Wow!"
Outstanding. Gives me something towards which to strive, measured way into the future, of course.
Wish I had a Boost device so I could try it.
Best,
Mike

I just pmed you about this. And you don't need to be on boost to run this. Just change your mmsc url to whatever carrier you have after you flash it

Okay, now you've done it. I'm going to do a nand of my current and flash this mofo. Looks on the surface to be my dream ROM. Debloated and unthemed, so I can tinker. I'll have a flawless ROM to which I can always return (Jellyverse, thanks SG), and plug in my launcher of choice (ssLauncher, Nova Prime), widgets (Eye on the Sky, Zooper, UCCW), and other apps, and have at it. (Check out John Nada's work over at My Color Screen, for instance.)
That stated, it looks like my set-it-and-forget-it contentment was but vapor.
How dare you sir!
Thanks. Will post screenies when I've made some progress.
Best,
Mike

Awesome Mike. I hope you enjoy it. I have this as my dd, and it works great. Plain, simple, so it can be added to by the end user. Have fun with it. You won't be able to do mms until you change the mmsc url, but other than that it's exactly like GB27, only gutted and deodexed

I've been using this for awhile and I love it. Great addition to the JB world and stock is sometimes the way to go. Thank you!
I'm Up and Running...

Hi, JD:
Thank you sir! Very nice indeed, free RAM looks good, running smoothly.
Got my MSL the old fashioned way, by calling Sprint from my handset and playing stupid "(the guy at the store told me before I left last night that I'd have it on my paperwork...well, I can't find my paperwork..."), gal gave it to me instantly, checked that it worked before I started, then installed. Did a full wipe, by the way, including user data. Then changed my MMSC URL, and moved to the next stage.
I have installed Mobile Odin Pro from the App market, and reinstalled Titanium Backup Pro, and getting back in business with custom recovery, my contacts, my call and MMS/SMS logs, &c.
Before I continue onto theming, quick questions: Can I flash TD's AIO 3.5 Deodoxed? Secondly, can I go to bilgerryan's incredible collation of apps and flash what looks intriguing (making sure, of course, that they are zips and deodoxed)? I'd like to kill the Boost logo, for instance.
Thanks again for all of your help!
Best,
Mike
