[Q] Which is better odex or deodex - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using stock .587 fw in my pro.
In system folder I cant find .odex file. So I think it is deodex file structure.
But which is better odex or deodex, for system performance and speed.

All stock firmwares are odex
Odex is good for speed and performance...
Deodex is good for moding and theming.....

Wrong Section! This is a Thread for the Q&A SubForum!
But to see if you're deodexed go with rootexplorer to /system/framework and look if there are .odex files! If they are there, you are ODEXED if not you are DEODEXED!
Or better before install a ROM read the details of the ROM and you normally should know if is is deodexed or not..
if root explorer is installed then go to
system/app and
system/framework
if there are any *.odex files
then your firmware is not deodex
and if there are not odex files
then firmware is deodex.

Please, how to flash SMS modification ODEX file? With Odin or with CWM like flashing ZIP? I heard somewhere that .odex files are not CWM flashable.
Thanks.

Sure they are, they are on the same path as .apk files (/system/app). Only difference is, that the DEODEXED ROM has the .odex included in the .apk, so it's no need to have it separately (that's why DEODEXED ROM's are easier to modify).
Just flash with CWM.*
If you're curious, you can open the .zip with the WinRar and look into META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. It's a script that tells the CWM what to do, so you can check which files are copied etc. You'll also see if the package is flashable by CWM or Odin (Odin ones are usually .tar though).

Tnx! but how do i have to use your file? it can't be flashed with cwm, so do i have to copy it to the right path with root exp?
JVT_deodexed_STOCK+_blnfix.zip ---> >> DOWNLOAD <<
JVT_odex_STOCK+_blnfix.zip ---> >> DOWNLOAD <<
via cwm...
I already flash trough CMW but still doesn't work missed calls or sms, any clue??
yea install supporting kernel if you did not
set up bln

No home button lag keeping the double click feature

If somebody wants No home button lag upload here the android.policy.jar file from framework folder and i will modify the file for you. The original thread is HERE.
This thread is for helping people who can`t decompile/compile files.
I would appreciate if you can modify my android.policy.jar file. I'm using stock lsd rom. Can I copy the modified file with root explorer straight over the old one? Thanks in advance
Something is wrong with your android.policy.jar file. upload it again pls.

Is this one working? https://www.dropbox.com/s/ftl1sxi13lw164l/android.policy.jar
I copied the file with root explorer from system/framework or is it wrong way to handle the file?
Still something wrong with it.
What rom do you have? odexed or deodexed?

I think it is odexed (stock nordic LSD downloaded from sammobile and flashed with odin)
edit. Maybe we should forget whole thing if that file doesn't work. I can live with that lag and don't wanna bother you if my file is incompatible and can't get it work
To modify your file i would have to deodex-it/modify/odex-it back and i dont have time for that. If you want you can install a stock doedex lsd rom

Allright lets forget whole thing. Maybe in some point I change my rom but not at this point full wipe again. Thanks for your help.
Does this work for AOKP roms? I see the original thread that it's for LS8 only. Just wanna try my luck
I didn`t try aokp so i can`t answer you on that.

If you want to start modding then search disxda kitchen
That also supports tar, you won't need to have cwm.

dr.ketan , first I would like to thank you for the amazing all in one thread and the modding thread , i have learned how to root and install a custom ROM from your guides , honestly , i love your work man
I have installed the framework from your thread and tried to extract the systemUI using a terminal emulator after i have rooted the phone , but it gives mee (ssh:no ta found) error every time i use it on any of the samsung stock ROM , and as you know without a clean systemUI i wont be able to start modding , and i have searched for a way to convert the .tar.md5 ROM to .zip or at least extract the systemUI from them but with no luck , all threads explaining it are sony phones threads .
To sum up , i wish if you can show me how to get this systemUI from the stock base ROM.
Ps, your MultiMod_V16 is amazing , thanks for that , i am planning to use some of the mods in it in my first experimental build.
First you need to deodexed SystemUI
That's why i have suggest you kitchen, with that you can extract tar and deodexed all app in one go.
If kitchen looks difficult then
find some img extract software, with that you can extract System apk from tar. later you can find any deodexer utility to deodex SystemUI.
Thanks

[Q] bravia engine 2 not compatible in deodexed framework files?

when i try to deodex all framework files with baksmali and smali jar, is done with great and try to port to framework of my xperia m and go to reboot. after reboot deodex process is complete, and when i try to move all bravia engine 2 file to my system i've got a little problem when i want to move com.sonyericcson.uxp.jar from bravia engine is only 4kb with classes.dex include in .jar file. but in my stock deodexed framework file com.sonyericcson.uxp.jar is 14kb? is this a very big different? can i replace it? if i can , what i must do? only replace that file? but when i do that bootloop happen after i reboot. and bootloop happen to when i replace that file with included old .odex file from my framework before deodex process?
what i must do? is bravia engine can't work with deodexed framework file? or something is missing from me?
Replacing framework files can and WILL cause bootloops if you don't run the stop command through ADB shell to stop the phone from using them. You are trying to replace files what the phone is actively using, stopping the phone from using it part way through the replacement and thus only part of the file is replaced.
Why don't you just use files what have already been deodexed for you instead of doing it the hard way around? Like I have got deodexed files for the two 4.3 versions for both SS and DS, paper13579 created a guide to show you how to properly replace system apks and system framework files. Check it out, themes & apps section.

ya i know, i deodexed my current rom 15.4.A.1.10 from my xperia m, and i replace it all in app and framework in my system and after reboot all working correctly and when i try to move file from bravia engine 2. and replace com.sonyericsson.uxp.jar,set permission to rw-r-r (i don't use any adb to move folder and deodexed files to my system, because i don't have any problem with error without adb) , reboot. Done with bootloop? so what i must do ? BE 2 can't run in deodexed framework? or i must do some modification in this jar file?

You should use ADB as you can corrupt files you're moving and end up in a bootloop. You said the framework file you had with BE2 was only 4kb? I think that may be a problem. It should be around 13kb-14kb. Can you link me to the thread (if applicable) of where you are trying to port BE2 from? I'll have a look, see if I can work it out. And you're using the 15.4.A.1.10 build for definite? Not one of the earlier 4.3 or 4.1 builds for the SS and not one of the 4.3 or 4.1 builds for the DS?

for BE2 may be i can only give you a link for this port for thread i forget it to find in where ?, for my firmware 15.4.A.1.10 is 4.3 build for SS and deodexed myself. and here for this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56995184&postcount=1. problem? hmmm what's problem?

I've already got that firmware, it you can find the thread where you get instructions for porting BE2 let me know and I'll look into it.
The problem about your framework file being 4kb once you've 'ported' BE2, it should still be around 13-14kb.

So that's a problem ? One question from me, is this com.sonyericsson.uxp.jar from BE2 is already deodexed or not? Because is very small size I think?
