[APP] 'ODEX ME': Odexing deodexed roms for a BOOST IN PERFORMANCE

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

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..?

Can you use ROM kitchen for US GS III?

Can I use ROM kitchen to change battery icon etc safely? I did it for Galaxy S and wondering if experience will be the same with G III.

Yes, I just did it, but there are a few tweaks/gotchas...
1. You can only do some limited things with the kitchen (I just did battery). The reason is that if you are messing with anything in the twresframework.apk - the ones on our phones are too big (over 3MB) and will be rejected by the kitchen for now. I was only able to update the regular resframework and systemui files.
2. The resulting UOT file will not work as is in CWM (gives the Status 0 error). So I followed their suggested workaround:
WORKAROUND for recovery error (Status 0):
1. Unzip your ROM and find
META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary file
2. Put this file in the UOT zip (overriding UOT's file)
For this, I actually borrowed the CWM script from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732262 and took its update-binary file and copied over into the UOT one.
After that it installed correctly, and I know have a new battery icon!
Please note that doing this changed my status under the download mode to CUSTOM, but it did not increase the Binary Counter. I suspect because when you start mucking with key system files like the framework, it's got to account for this.

Can you share your battery icon?

Sure. This is specifically for the ATT i747 (UCALEM) - and using on other variants is almost guaranteed to be trouble since were dealing with framework files

Can you tell me why framework-res was changed in your patch, because battery icons are in the systemui. Was wondering because I already have a changed framework with tethering and cell standby fix and was going to try only using the systemui. Thanks

To be honest, I'm just used to uploading both frameworks and the systemui whenever using the kitchen. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if just copying over the systemui would do it and the framework is untouched stock.
Whenever I used the kitchen on the past I also would use the latest framework of my phone to preserve any tweaks also made to it. You're more than welcome to try manually patching just the systemui and retain your custom framework.
Each phone I've had seems to move certain components to different files which again is why out of habit I use the frameworks but could just be a placebo.

Just FYI, I'm running DietICS ROM.
I had previously used ROM Toolbox to change to a custom battery icon.
Then I just now flashed your battery icon.
Now I've lost my toggle menu.
Tried a fix-permissions & clear davlick but it didn't help.

If the dev for that ROM made their own customizations to either the framework or systemui flashing this may break them because these are from the stock ROM. To get it back your may need to re flash either the of the original files from the ROM you are on.

Yep.
I was just mentioning it so others on the same ROM wouldn't try to flash the battery and get stuck if they didn't already do a nandroid.

I don't think there are major changes in framework since then..it should work

Status update:
So, I spent past couple of hours trying to port the recent apps mod to the PA and CM but it didn't work out :crying:
I was able to do the changes and compile the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk but when I flash the zip, the SystemUI just keeps crashing on the boot..
"SystemUI has stopped working."
I was using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187184
Well, this guide has some problems..
It says:
/res/layout-port/status_bar_recent_item.xml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is no such folder "layout-port" in res..
Then I checked OPs mod which he supposedly created using the same guide...I decompiled his SystemUI.apk but guess what...there wan't any "layout-port" either...
Then I thought that I should change that in the "layout" folder itself...(and later I found out that the OP has done the same)
But still..no gain Force Closes everytime
There was one more problem that there wasn't any id "android:id="@id/recents_clear" in the ids.xml..but I solved that problem.
I can upload the zip which force closes if anyone wants to test stuff too

The think is that in layout and layout_land you need to remove the whole code and paste his...the thing is that if you compare the 2 codes you can see that alot of change in recents code but you remove alot of code existing..im pretty sure thats causing the FC's i try with a guide for 10.1 and i still have this problem...systemui refuse to load even when the phone reboots properly..so maybe if we exclude the fact that we can copy and paste...the code there is old and cm has added a lot of stuff in it after that...so we need someone who knows to check the code and apply it to a newest version of cm...
and remember those guides are for cm if your trying to do it on a PA or SLIM or anyother heavy tweaked rom you will mess a hell lot more things!

[MOD] Remove Location Icon ( UPDATE: 12/17/2013)

Since there was not one posted i decided to post a Remove Location Icon flashable zip file for those who just decide to stay stock de-bloated.
The update script is by andybones, and i modified the apk.
This will work with stock,and deodex, roms as long as you have no other modifications are made in the systemUI.apk
I also included the stock file as well.
Flash in recovery and wipe the dalvik-cache, reboot, SUCCESS !
There are Three files. The Remove_Location.zip will work for both odex and deodex roms.
For odex roms it deletes the odex file and replaced it with a deodex version. It will work just fine don't stress out about it....
The other two are stock deodex and stock odex. If you want to go back make sure you use the right one!
UPDATE(12/17/2013): I added the 2.10.605.1 update mod..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48592241&postcount=31
UPDATE(11/21/2013): I added the .15 update mod as the systemUI.apk is not the same for that update .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47683138&postcount=28
UPDATE(10/16/2013): I Fixed the code so as the Beats icon is not " floating in space " as someone so put it.
Please read here before flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46812076&postcount=24

I corrected this problem, and the code is now fixed !

Is it still a blank icon that just now AFTER the Beats icon, or is it really space freed up for other notifications?

I don't have that behavior myself on my device after flashing as seen in the posted screenshot. Anyone else ?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app
Edit:
Note that even though the modification to the systemUI.apk smali code should set the icon to a with of zero, the actual location of those icons are in the same file
Those were technically removed on my first attempt, which yielded the blank space between the beats icon and 4G symbol or whatever else. That b/c I didn't take into account the smali code in systemUI.apk
Now on my device theI just applied the systemUI.apk modification which just set the width of the ' clear ' location icon to zero which made the space disappear. I have tested this several times by replacing the original systemUI.apk and systemUI.odex files and then re-flashing the modified one and it functions as shown in the OP screenshot.
I also compared the MD5 checksum with the one I flashed vs the one I downloaded from here in case i accidentally messed up and they are identical.

I was going to say, that those status bar mods are not stock
The SystemUI.apk holds some of the icons for the statusbar, and the systemUI.apk hold the codes that control the blank space between the 4G icon and the beats icon that is where the blank space was.
Those are the files that were modified by me, the first being accidental leaving the space between the beats icon and the 4G symbol, and the later resolved the space

Either way, I had the space previously with your first mod and flashed the updated zip and the space is gone. Thanks for the fix!

I like the clcok and battery mods there. I wish there was an easy way to do that while keeping the stock ROM. there's no custom ROMs for this phone yet that I've fallen in love with. Bone Stock was good for a While, but even that one I found myself going back to true stock ROM and just debloating it myself.

THANKS TO SAMMY AND ALL THEIR WHITENESS, I HAD TO EDIT THE ANDROID POLICY JAR IN ORDER TO INVERT THE POWER MENU SCREEN AND AS MOST OF US KNOW, 99.9% OF CUSTOM ROMS HAVE ALL KINDS OF EDITS DONE IN THERE AND SINCE THE POLICY JAR INCLUDED IN MY ZIP IS BASED ON STOCK, IT WILL BREAK WHATEVER THE ROM CAME WITH. FORTUNATELY.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!

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.
