First Lets know some Basic knowledge
about DEODEX/ODEX...
What is Odex and Deodex ROM
What is an ODEX file?
In Android file system, applications
come in packages with the
extension .apk.
These application packages, or APKs
contain certain .odex files whose
supposed function is to save space.
These ‘odex’ files are actually
collections of parts of an application
that are optimized before booting.
Doing so speeds up the boot process,
as it preloads part of an application.
On the other hand, it also makes
hacking those applications difficult
because a part of the coding has
already been extracted to another
location before execution.
What is an DEODEX file?
Deodexing is basically repackaging of
these APKs in a certain way, such
that they are reassembled into
classes.dex files.
By doing that, all pieces of an
application package are put together
back in one place, thus eliminating
the worry of a modified APK conflicting
with some separate odexed parts.
So, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all
their application packages put back
together in one place,
allowing for easy modification such as
theming. Since no pieces of code are
coming from any external location,
custom ROMs or APKs are always
deodexed to ensure integrity.
How this works?
For the majority noobs amongst us,
Android OS uses a Java-based virtual
machine called the Dalvik Virtual
Machine.
A deodexed or .dex file contains the
cache used by this virtual machine
(referred to as Dalvik-cache) for a
program, and it is stored inside the
APK.
An .odex file, on the other hand, is an
optimized version of this same .
dex file that is stored next to the APK
as opposed to inside it.
Android applies this technique by
default to all the system applications.
When an Android-based system is
booting, the davlik cache for the
Davlik VM is built using these .odex
files, allowing the OS to learn in
advance what applications will be
loaded, and thus speeds up the
booting process.
By deodexing these APKs, a developer
actually puts the .odex files back
inside their respective APK packages.
Since all code is now contained within
the APK itself, it becomes possible to
modify any application package
without conflicting with the operating
system’s execution environment.
Advanteges & Disadvantages
The advantage of deodexing is in
modification possibilities.
This is most widely used in custom
ROMs and themes. A developer
building a custom ROM would almost
always choose to deodex the ROM
package first,
since that would not only allow him to
modify various APKs, but also leave
room for post-install theming.
On the other hand, since the .odex
files were supposed to quickly build
the dalvik cache, removing them
would mean longer initial boot times.
However, this is true only for the first
ever boot after deodexing, since the
cache would still get built over time as
applications are used.
Longer boot times may only be seen
again if the dalvik cache is wiped for
some reason.
Note:Themes for android come in
APKs too, and if you want to modify
any of those, you should always
choose a dedoexed custom ROM.

I recommend you to use apk changer.. its a nice tool works with command prompt.. it is actually built for modifying apk.. but it has option to deodex your rom automatically..but has some options to pull the files from your phone with some clicks... very easy to use..
If you have root access surely it'll work.. and tell something about your phone partition.. if you don't provide the correct path to the source file also it will fail...

This post DOES NOT CONTAIN SWYPE BINARIES, and presumes that you have backed up your original Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so files. If you forgot to, you can get them by doing an unyaffs on the system.img from any of your nandroid backups that would contain swype, or the G2's PC10IMG.zip, and extracting the files from system/lib/libSwypeCore.so and system/app/Swype.apk.
You can also check this post for other methods of attaining your old Swype files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841603
DO NOT USE THIS ARCHIVE WITHOUT FIRST ADDING THE SWYPE FILES. BAD THINGS MAY HAPPEN. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE EITHER WAY.
TO RESTORE THE SWYPE FILES FROM A NANDROID BACKUP:
See this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835971 for the original PC10IMG.zip file that should theorietically also contain it - though I have not yet figured out how to extract files from its system.img
1. Locate your nandroid backup that you know you made when you had Swype2. Find the system.img in the nandroid backup (probably in /sdcard/ClockworkMod/backup/)3. Open an adb shell and execute the following:
mkdir /sdcard/system
cp /sdcard/ClockworkMod/backup/YOUR-BACKUP-NAME/system.img /sdcard/system/
cd /sdcard/system
unyaffs system.img4. Mount your sdcard on your PC and navigate to the system/app folder and copy Swype.apk to your desktop5. Navigate to the system/lib folder and copy libSwypeCore.so to your desktopYou can now safely delete the system folder on your sdcard (it's taking up a lot of space).
Now you should have Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so ready to go.
Once you get those files, you're ready to create the update zip:
1. Download the FixSwype.zip attached to the bottom of this thread, and edit it with your favorite archive editor (I prefer 7-Zip, because it's open-source and fully-featured).
You should see:
system
META-INF
2. Browse to the system/app directory, and paste in your Swype.apk
then, go back up to the system/lib directory, and paste in the libSwypeCore.so
3. Move the new FixSwype.zip to your SD Card, either via mounting it on your PC and manually copying it, or by "adb push FixSwype.zip /sdcard/"
4. Reboot to recovery. Navigate to "apply zip from sdcard" or equivalent function, and select your FixSwype.zip.5. You're done! Reboot the phone, go to Settings, Language & keyboard, and check "Swype". Enjoy! You now have a permanent Swype-restoring patch.
Of course, you'll have to re-run this process any time you install a new ROM, as the new ROM will overwrite your existing /system partition, where Swype lives.
So, whenever you install a new rom just...
1. apply the new ROM's .zip file
2. apply the FixSwype.zip file
wash, rinse, repeat!
Want to buy me a beer? Click here!
There's not really any need for this if you're using CM. Once you have Swype on your phone, create a file in /system/etc/ called custom_backup_list.txt. Each line in the file should be the path to a file that you want preserved when you flash a new version, with the leading /system/ removed. So, for swype, your /system/etc/custom_backup_list.txt would have:
app/Swype.apk
lib/libSwypeCore.so
(I also added app/Quickoffice.apk, along with the modified files for the fixed keymap.)
Once you have this file in place, Swype (and whatever else you list) will be preserved automatically for you every time you flash a new CM.

itp,
This is really good info to have! Thanks. I've heard rumors (unconfirmed by myself) that Rom Manager does not honor this file, so I'll leave my post up for the time being, for people who may find it useful or don't feel comfortable playing in /system.
how do i do a unyaffs on my stock backup rom so i can get the swype keyboard back? Also does this work on virtuous roms?
hate to break your heart, but the easier-est way is already made just by 3 clicks in an apk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841603
just download the apk in the link of mediafire through your phone or from computer move it to your sd card.
use a file manager/browser to locate and install the file.
open, look for the swype which it only shows that file...click and it will do the rest for you by itself.
oh and make sure you check it in the keyboard settings and uncheck any other keyboards you might have installed.

if anything happens you can always replace with original files!!
btw you can try rom-toolbox pro as well

This is a simple guide to make a pre-rooted firmware and then use it.
What you need:
- A device with a rooted ICS and a recovery as well.
- A PC with flashtool installed.
- A Jelly Bean ftf.
- WinRAR or similar software.
- Patience.
What do you do:
Assuming you have enough requirements, lets begin!
0. In Case you haven't, flash stock ICS, root it and then install CWM.
How to make a prerooted zip
1. Open the JB ftf file with WinRAR.
2. Extract the system.sin file.
3. Open flashtool. Go to tools>sin editor and extract the [system.sin] file. You'll get an .ext4 file.
4. Extract the contents from the .ext4 file to a folder named system
using any of this. I prefer Linux Reader.
5. Add root to the folder. Download the attached root.rar file.
Copy the contents of SuperSU or Superuser to the folder you've made.
6. Create a zip file.
7. Copy the system folder into the zip file.
8. Download, extract and copy the attached META-INF.zip
9. Now you have a flashable prerooted zip.
0. Download prerooted firmware from the second post
or make one of your own by the guide above.
1. Copy the prerooted zip on your SDcard.
2. Now, boot into CWM on your device.
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache.
4. Go to mounts and storage and format system.
5. Now flash the zip but do not reboot.
6. On PC, go to flashtool and using flashmode select the JB ftf.
7. Check Exclude System (Put a tick mark on it).
8. Uncheck wipe data (ONLY IF YOU NEED IT)
9. Now flash it on your device.
10. Let it boot and now you have your rooted Jelly Bean fw!

TO-DO
- Make a better tutorial with Pictures and Screenshots DONE
- Upload prerooted zip for
Xperia S : Done
Xperia SL : You can use the same as Xperia S as the kernel remains of your device, you'll get 1.7GHz
Xperia Ion : Pending due to release
Xperia Acro S : DONE

Can you flash other zips? Try reinstalling CWM.
Is the META-INF perfect? I haven't tried it yet.
error 7

Mount system from CWM and then try again.
If that does not work, replace the updater-script (META-INF) with the one attached here now.
If that still doesnot work, try copying the META-INF folder from a custom ROM of your device.

Yup I think so, I had to finally unlock my bootloader as well just to be able to keep flashing ICS, I also tried different versions of CWM but nothing worked until after I sorted the folder structure in the rom.zip, when I tried it again it installed for about 3 minutes before failing, instead of the 20 seconds it took before.

Rooting Ascend P1 U9200 B315 EUI1.5 JB v4.1.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone wanting to root there Ascend P1 U9200 phone after the new firmware update, here are the files, and info you need, to do so...
First off, plug UR phone in switch it on and let Windows search for the driver, Then click "Let me choose..." or "browse for it..." or similar. Then select "Let me choose which driver to install", then click "list of drivers" or similar, Then click the one near the top that has adb or similar in the title, it don't matter if you choose the wrong one, it just means it wont connect and you'll have to redo this part again and pick a different driver.
Remember!! You MUST run these commands as Administrator.
1. Download the files below, extract them to a folder, preferably one without any spaces in the path, i.e.. C:\U9200Root\ should do perfect.
3. Right Click the "Click-To-Root-U9200.bat" file and under compatibility options click run as administrator or the like.
4. Run (Double Click) the Click-To-Root-U9200.bat (As Administrator!) (or right-click then, "run as administrator...")
4. Reboot your fone and click yes on your fone to install SuperUser.
that's it, your rooted
for those wanting to do the commands there self...
1. Download & extract the files to C:\U9200Root\
2. In the CLI type: "C:\U9200Root\adb reboot bootloader"
3. Then "boot TWRP.img"
4. Then Restart your fone and choose yes to install SuperUser
PS if you've not got much space left in your system partition you may have to delete something from /system/app/ to make space for the SuperUser files.
REMEMBER the space reported on your fone by android is the space on your data partition/memory & sd card and not the system partition!
You can check how much system data etc space you have left from terminal if u have it installed, or on the TWRP recovery which you will have just installed.To do this, Reboot the fone holding the Vol. Up Button, click on advanced then terminal then type "df -h" without quotes if system partition is less than say 10-20mb free then delete maybe, uneeded languages?, chrome.apk?, GSM_Maps.apk? or the like, then reinstall them to the /data/app part later. Since many of these apks get updated and the old ones left undeleted in /system/app/ anyways, I always move the system apks updates from /data/app to /system/app/, makes things a lot tidier and saves a lot of space both in /data/app and /system by not having two of every apk file youve ever updated just remember to copy the libs to /system/lib(s)
Anyways hope I helped someone with this...

Hi
After adb reboot bootloader you can also install CWM with fastboot :
fastboot flash recovery clockworkmod.XXXX.img
With CWM you can backup your phone (always a good idea )
After rebooted in CWM install SU with any zip file (ex : SU___Busybox_1.20.2_Flashable.zip )

How to remove TWRP...? I want to update U9200-EM-UMTS-V100R00G411D00B336....thanx in advance.
Stuck
My U9200 is just stuck on the HUAWEI logo when you boot it...
And the cmd application just keeps saying < waiting for device >
Any help is appreciated...
with B336 this method doesn't work.
EDIT:
The problem is not in TWRP or CWM; the problem is that there is not enough space in folder /system/app.
From TWRP I went to "Advanced" and then "file manager"; here from the /system/app I deleted all the languages other than Italian-pack (my language), chrome.apk and gsm-map.apk. Then I flashed SU_flashable and after boot-up SU was finally installed.
It seems that the difficulty of obtaining root permissions in all stock roms from b105 onwards is precisely linked to the lack of space in the / system / app.
I hope to be helpful to those who find themselves with the same problem.

You can use a app like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tkstudio.sboot to change boot animation or some ROMS like jasmine rom 7.0 have the original samsung logo boot sequence, for the app to work you need root and read carefully before doing anything. Hope this helps.

Well if you mean like accessing and editing system files I'm not how to do edit them but I know that you can use a app like root explore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.explorer that's the free version the paid one is $3.99 in the US. With that you can move and add files to system folder you can edit permission of files and things of that nature.

Well system file is where all the data and software is at basically everything visible on the phone. Maybe this article could help it deals with modifying samsung rom and flashing it. If you want to read more on it here's the link: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/85703/modifying-samsung-rom-and-flashing-it-on-a-device if you wanted to remove apps or add custom apps to your phone you would modify system file.
But what I thought was important was this;
(I did not write this thread)
< "You should be able to use an archive program on PC and recompress to .tar, .gz, and others. Dont forget to re-sign the archive. Keep a copy of your untouched ROM until you have the modified ROM tested and running.
The ROMs are signed with a signature. When repacking if they don't get signed they will fail in flashing. This link will help explain it.
So basically after downloading the firmware you have to rename it so you can extract the files, change them as you need, recompress them again and re-sign them, so you can flash them using Odin." >
This thread was dealing with modifying CM rom;
< "There are multiple solutions available:
Re-Zip the Image
Advantage: You do it once, and can use the resulting image for multiple devices. That's what I did with CM7.2 for my Milestone 2. Easy enough to do:
create a temporary (empty) folder
unzip the zip file to it
remove unwanted *.apk files from /system/apps (be careful of what you remove, of course)
zip up the directory contents again
Using a graphical ZIP manager (like WinZip or the like), steps would be even easier:
open the zip file with the archive manager
remove the unwanted .apk files
if the ZIP manager requires it, save the manipulated zip
Manually cleanup after flashing, using the shell
This is what ce4 recommended in the comments. It requires you using a terminal emulator on your device:
Flash the image as-is
remove superfluous stuff from the system partition by hand (like rm /system/big/junk/example.mp4)
Manually cleanup after flashing, using other tools
Almost the same as the previous method, but a bit more user-friendly. Disadvantage: this won't do for superflous ringtones and the like:
Flash the image as-is
Use a tool like Titanium Backup or Root Uninstaller to remove unwanted system apps" >

Ok so I may have found a solution for you it requires a pc and to download a program. You'll need your rom and any apps you would like to insert into it. The program is as simple as right click and delete for any apps you want to remove. The program is made by a developer on XDA named "_Logie" here's the link to the Web page: http://m.tech.firstpost.com/news-analysis/how-to-add-or-remove-apps-from-a-custom-rom-101986.html and the link to the program is on there or here's the direct link: http://www.solidfiles.com/d/da2dd6335d/
This program compiles the ROM into a .zip if you have TWRP recovery you could do a backup of your previous rom before flashing your current one because you'll have to completely wipe every main partition before flashing new rom to ensure you don't run into problems
Edit: backup system, data, and cache because those are the ones you'll need to wipe also before wiping them just in case I would remove any password that locks your phone because if you try to flash a new rom and fails and your left with the recovery file it'll mess up the password, fingerprints will be forget and backup password will be unchangeable and will require a factory reset to be able to change it.

Hmmmmm ? I think you want to change the boot animation (white Verizon logo red background? ) if so your gonna need to either need to flash a pre-made zip with Flashfire (can't seem to get it to apply from twrp) or your gonna need to manually copy into the appropriate directory (mount system directory r/w copy then change permissions of the file you copied to 644 and reboot) presumably with a root explorer though doable from terminal

Try flashing with flasfire enabling the option mount system r/w and use common paths (probably not necessary but won't hurt) I have had difficulty getting anything other than ROM and gapps to apply from twrp but flashfire seems to work . I'm thinking its due to the fact that flashfire flashes after boot loader and then resets prior to os load.
