Why this tutorial?
I made this tutorial for the galaxy 3, but then some user reported me that it worked on another phone, so I post this thread here again.
I wanted a good odexed rom, but there isn't any here. So I tried to make my own odexed rom, but it wasn't so good. So I read something about re-odexing and tried it out. I modified it a little bit and I don't know all about re-odexing, so if someone know something better, pls post it here in the thread for everyone. English is also not my mother language, but I hope you'll understand me
What is a odexed and a deodexed rom?
When you look at a stock rom in the folder /system/app, you will see files with the ending .odex and the apks doesn't contains classes.dex files. When you look at a deodexed rom, you'll see that there are no .odex files and the apks contains classes.dex files. Basically every apk contains a classes.dex files. Then the dalvik virtual machine generates a dalvik cache based of the classes.dex file. When you load a app, it will be loaded from the the dalvik cache, not from the apk. Samsung built the odexed rom using a tool called dexopt-wrapper. This tool generates .odex files based from the classes.dex, that means it does the same job like the dalvik vm. The .odex files were pushed in the /system. The files are the replacement for the dalvik cache. Like I wrote above, apps are loading from the dalvik cache, not from apk or classes.dex file, so classes.dex are not needed anymore, so they are deleted in odexed roms. Deodexing using xUltimate means regenerating a classes.dex based from the .odex file, merging it into the apk and deleting .odex.
What are the advantages and disadvantages from a deodexed rom?
Advantages:
-All needed things are in one apk, so modding/theming is (better) possible
-Needs less space on /system
Disavantages:
-Needs more space on /data
-Is not so stable than a odexed rom
-Slower on first boot(because a odexed rom has already execute ready .odex files, a deodexed rom needs to generate dalvik cache)
What do I need to re-odex?
-A rooted phone
-A full NANDroid Backup
-More than 30 mb free space on /system
-ADB drivers for Option 1
-Titanium Backup Pro for Option 2
How can I re-odex a Rom?
There are 2 Options to do it, but only the first does a full re-odex.
Before doing anything make sure that you have a full NANDroid Backup because you'll propably get into a bootloop and I cant guarantee that it works on your device/rom.
Option 1 using dexopt-wrapper:
I used first the script from puppet13th, but I got into a bootloop. So Ive done some changes and tried it until it worked
Some users told me that you can re-odex the rom without being in CWM, so you can may skip Step 2, but you could get into a bootloop without Step 2, but you can try it out, there is no risk with a NANDroid backup
Step 1: Configure the script for your device:
The attached script is made for the galaxy 3, so you have to configure the script for your device. If you done it, pls upload it and post it here for other users.
Download the zip(link below) for your system and unzip it. Then go to the folder "odex" and then open there the file/script "odex" with your favourite text editor(I suggest Notepad++).
You only have to replace the $BOOTCLASSPATH. You can find the valid $BOOTCLASSPATH in /init.rc. Enter your $BOOTCLASSPATH after "BOOTCLASSPATH=" for example so(beginning from Line 8):
Code:
BOOTCLASSPATH=replace_this_with_your_bootclasspath
cd /system/framework
for filename replace_this_with_your_bootclasspath
In the line
Code:
for filename replace_this_with_your_bootclasspath
you must replace the ":" character between framework files with a space.
Step 2(optional): Reboot your phone into cwm recovery and get adb access there
For best results you should re-odex in the recovery menu. Some users told me that it also works in a running system, so you can also try it in a running system, but you must mount /system rw before.
So if you want to re-odex in the recovery menu, reboot into recovery and make sure you have adb access.
Step 3: Ensure /system & /data is mounted, Connect your phone and run reodex script
Make sure that /system and /data is mounted in rw mode(in recovery: go to mount & storages, in a running system:use root explorer) and connect your phone with your computer.
You already downloaded the re-odex script in step 1. Your computer will push it over adb with the needed binaries to your phone. The script will create odex files, will delete classe.dex from the apk/jar, will rezipalign your apks and will delete the dalvik cache.
For windows users: double click on odex.cmd
For linux users: open a terminal and navigate to the folder which contains the unzipped attachment and run
Code:
chmod +x reodex.sh
./reodex.sh
After its finished, simply reboot and enjoy your fully re-odexed rom.
Step 4 (optional) convert /data:
I dont know if there is a better option, but after a re-odex with Option 1, my phone didnt showed the right free space on /data. So I converted /data to a other filesystem and back and then it showed the right free space.
So check your free space and if its wrong, convert your filesystem if you kernel support that.
Option 2 using Titanium Backup Pro:
You need to have Titanium Backup pro for re-odexing.
Step 1:
Select Menu -> More -> integrate sys dalvik into rom and wait until its finished. Then you should have more space on /data. I had when I tried it before 105 and after 135 mb free space on /data and 0kb free space after it on /system, so its not all.
You can also undo it. Its good when you want to try out a new theme, so you can undo and redo it using TB Pro.
Simply select Menu -> More -> Undo sys dalvik integration
and you're done.
Option 1 vs. Option 2
-Option 1 does a full re-odex, you have full free space on /data(Option 2 does only re-odex the apps in /system/app, not the framework(/system/framework)
-Option 1 deletes classes.dex from apks and jars(against Option 2), so you have more space free on /system
-You can undo Option 2 fast, so theming/modding is also possible by undo, theme and redo it, you can also undo Option 1, its called deodexing, but its not so fast

If I helped you, you can press the thanks button under the post.
Thanks very much! I can confirm this works on the HTC EVO 4G. I have attached my odex file. I had to upload it as a ".txt" file, be sure to remove the ".txt" from the "odex.txt" before using
Thanks, I will have a look and try this on my xperia play

Thanks a lot. This works on the Atrix.
Odex file attached.

Yup mines work on the evo 4G too thanks. Now I have a odex rom. would post the file but swagstr beat me to it. same path as mine.
Nice to see that it's worked without problems on all devices, which tried by users. If I forgot to mention: a g3 rom developer asked me, if he is allowed to publish a rom which was reodexed with my script.
And yes all secs are allowed to publish rom's which are reodexed with my script. You must not add me to the credits, but it would be great if you do it.
Anyway to individually re-odex .apks with this mod?

Yes, in my reodex package is a folder odex, theres a binary "dexopt-wrapper": copy this to your phone and give it executeable rights and then run over adb or term-emulator:
Code:
dexopt-wrapper <input.apk> <output.odex> <$BOOTCLASSPATH>

You need the android phone to execute dexopt-wrapper binary. But you can do that over adb. You can reodex all over adb and then pull the reodexed files, but you can also do a nandroid backup, reodex your rom and make then
Adb pull /system/app/
Adb pull /system/framework/
After that you have the files on the pc and you can restore your nandroid backup.

Its just an simple apk you can get rid of via root explorer or titanium backup or whatever.
In titanium its called FullBatPopupApp 1.0, I have removed it with no ill effects. The name of the apk in /system/app/ is FullbatPopup.apk

1. You need to have java installed for this. You will also need smali/baksmali
2. Open command prompt or linux terminal with your phone plugged in. Also navigate to or create a directory to perform the work in.
3. Once in your working directory, run:
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/services.jar
3a. If your system isn't de-odexed, you may need to pull an odex file as well
4. Take the smali/baksmali files you downloaded earlier and put them in the same directory that your services.jar file is in.
5. Run the following (assumes windows command prompt):
Code:
java -jar baksmali-<version>.jar services.jar
5a. If your system is not deodexed, you will likely need to deodex the system/services.jar for this to work.
6. Open the file required for the edit and make the needed changes.
7. Run the following (again, assuming windows command prompt):
Code:
java -jar smali-<version>.jar out -o classes.dex
8. Replace the classes.dex file within services.jar with the new classes.dex file
9. Push the file to /system/framework with adb, then reboot:
Code:
adb push services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
adb reboot
9a. You may need to remount the /system partition as rw to push the file.
10. On restart, the phone will take longer to boot, but assuming the changes were made properly you should be good.
I left out some information for the "a" steps on purpose. If you cannot do these steps yourself, or find how to do them, you likely shouldn't be doing this on your own. As always, backup your phone/data before trying this, and I am not responsible for any lost data, non-booting phones, or bricked devices. If you are unsure of what you are doing, then don't do it.

Removing that does nothing, already did it and I still get the popup.
Or just find the post with the hidden menu dialer codes and turn it off that way.........
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Even the hidden dialer menu does not always work either. Plus I thought the hidden menu was not accessible in DJ05/DL09? Maybe this is with certain roms?
yea I hate that popup. Ive removed the apk also and still it keeps popping up. A fix would be greatly appreciated!!!
The dailer codes worked for me. Using Blackhole 3.0. Just make sure you include the Hidden Menu when building your rom.

+1 on getting rid of this stupid pop up.
Man I hate that thing.
I posted instructions on how to do it. I'm not going to do the mod for everyone, so do it on your own, or ask the rom builder to include the change in the rom. There are to many roms and themes out there to try and accomplish this for every possible combination.
Hidden menu method would not work for me on dj05.
Changed it to disabled and it still pops up
I just went in with root explorer and mounted system/app as RW, renamed FullBattPopup.apk to FullBattPopup.apk.OLD and it did not get recreated after a reboot. I guess I'll have to wait till a full charge to see if it comes back.
I just used Titanium Backup to freeze FullBatPopupApp.
Will report back after I change my phone....

As I figured, freezing didn't remove the popup.
I went ahead and edited the services file, as specified earlier in this post. I followed the procedure provided by imnuts and did the edits as specified in the post by Nimhlan.
It appears to work like a charm. No more Full battery popups!
I would post my edited file, but I suspect it is dependent on what kernel/ROM you are running....
Do you download the smali 1.26.jar & baksmali 1.26 jar or just the baksmali & smali file in the link provided.

sorry it has only korean readme and init files
you will need to remove /system/persistent and /sdcard/OpenRecovery folders before install and backup copy init files on /
install is so easy
first root your phone and and connect the usb cable
second copy the files and folders on rar/sdcard and rar/pc_installer/sdcard
third run the batch files(preinstall->main) on rar/pc_installer/pc
last make 'ramdisk' folder on /system/etc and copy init files before install
i think you will need to reboot twice success to run
special thanks for hounjin modding 2nd-init binary
you will can download
modules for it (also you can install it use clockworkmod) from http://dateno1.egloos.com/category/%EB%A1%AC%ED%82%A4%EC%B9%9C%20for%20motoroi
this is example files
you can only the phone root/unroot even 2.2.1
you can also use 2nd-init or boot script and etc (i think make and use module for it is very easy)
also it support ext3 if you copy jbd.ko and ext3.ko on /system/lib/modules

also clockworkmod zip file format is very good (it will make easy install/uninstall some app or function)
my rom havn't almost bundle software and i make install pack so if user want something easy install/uninstall that
and i think it only way to root/unroot on phone for 2.2.1

ok i think you misunderstood, or you mean some different app, 2nd-init is to call init.rc once again and kernel reloads its init process files. so the script you refer to must be added after you run 2nd-init, that is not a mod of 2nd-init, but the rom itself, right?

again you mean running clockworkmod from 2nd-init? running the update.zip zip structure is not a clockworkmod standard, but used since android 1.5 on Hero
or you mean something else?
i run clockworkmod from 2nd-init and leave the rest to CWM and its functions, i dont do custom scripts, when its part of cwm.
i edit init script using 2nd-init
so if you have OpenRecovery folder on sdcard it will goto openrecovery edited (it has clockworkmod run menu) and if you not it will edited menu (it can run clockworkmod from system partition)
but i don't know when i use this way why clockworkmod can't format or overwriting boot partition
i make it for rom's modules (every xt720 can run it) (it has 2nd-init&2 bootscript runner and install pack function, backup phone (also ext3 and froyo's sd secure) (if you want you will change everything exclude kernel, lbl,mbm)
clockworkmod's zip format is old type but it can copy, delete, move, symlink etc
so user want to change or add or remove something from phone, it will do that for few second (everyone can making use some packs for phone) (and it's very easy)
i want to everyone install it for phone and many people making pack (it will every one can have own's customized rom )
sorry for poor english
i success make pack every defalt apps on phone (install/uninstall)
even i make app2ext3 pack if you before parted ext3 partition on sdcard (just install and boot, install and boot, install) (1th install modules and etc and 2nd insert boot script for move and symlink and 3nd remove 2nd's boot script)
i think it will can more easy to using phone
even in korean rooted phone can connect bank's app (it has root check)
this is install guide

This is how I made ROM, I'll try to write the steps as simple as I can. For advanced users only!
Update 22/08/11:
Revised packaging steps.
Update 13/08/11:
Removed unwanted method for ROM cooking.
Update 04/08/11:
Modified extract and repack ROM guide and added extracting system.rfs guide.
Things you need:
Base firmware
Archiver software (7zip recommended)
Any Linux environment to build ROM or Cygwin
APK Manager to optimize and decompile *.apk files
MagicISO (Optional) if you want to extract system.rfs
And the last thing is... You need enough experience in android world
So, here is the steps to cook a ROM:
Flash your phone with your desired base firmware
Make required modifications
Pull system.rfs from your phone by running this command on adb shell or Terminal Emulator:
Code:
dd if=/dev/stl12 of=/sdcard/system.rfs
Extract any *.tar.md5 files from your base firmware to your working folder with 7zip
Replace the current system.rfs with your modified one
EDIT: Pack your ROM by running this code via terminal or just pack it with 7zip/WinRAR as *.tar
Code:
tar -H ustar -c * >> ROMNAME.tar
change ROMNAME to your desired, well, ROM name.
Here is (yet) useful guide to modify your ROM.
Extract system files on system.rfs to make modding easier:
Extract PDA file (*.tar.md5) files with 7zip
Open system.rfs with MagicISO
To extract it, just drag and drop
NOTE: Never edit your ROM with MagicISO because the file permissions will be ignored, use MagicISO only for extracting files from system.rfs
Deodex, and Zipalign (optimize) your ROM apk files:
Ready to use deodex + root for KPN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196230
Ready to use deodex + root for KPH and other firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118048
Open APK Manager
To zipalign your apk files, in apk manager folder /place-apk-here-to-batch-optimize put your:
framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk and all system apk
but not these:
AxT9IME, Calculator, Camera, Email, MMS, Phone, Screen Capture, Settings, Swype, Thinkdroid, Voice search
Choose Choose option 15
Then choose both (zp)
Let it run and done.
Now put back the apk files where they belong in the ROM.
How to put these apk files to my ROM? Copy these files to appropriate locations, such as /system/app to your ROM's /system/app, and etc.

As Linux, MagicISO read RFS image as a FAT filesystem. File permissions can not be maintained. A better way but need linux:
1. Mount system.rfs as FAT and mount it to /tmp/rfs
2. Make ext4 image, and mount it to /tmp/system
3. Copy /tmp/rfs contents to /tmp/system
4. Make modification inside /tmp/system
5. Fix file permissions inside /tmp/system
6. Umount both image
7. Make ODIN flashable image, contains system.rfs (now in ext4 format) and CF-Root-S5830 boot and recovery image (for ext4 support)
8. Boot to Windows and flash your new firmware using ODIN.

Dalvik cache cleaner is a shell script which clears the Dalvik cache that can be used with Android Terminal Emulator.
Root and busybox is required, if you don't know what root and/or busybox is then do NOT bother using the script.
Place the shell script in the main directory.
With Android Terminal Emulator type:
su
sh /sdcard/Dalvik_cache_cleaner.sh
The process should be close to instant depending on how much files you have in the directory.

No, that would also waste too much time on boot then on a normal boot due to rebuilding the cache everytime.
When you uninstall an application, usually a dalvik cache file is left over wasting space.
But if you want you can use ROM Toolbox from JRUMMY APPS INC. in the Play Store.
There is a Scripter in that application that you can use for such thing but the problem is that when I tryed using the su binary in the shell script, there is an issue where the su binary in the shell script will just cut off the other parts of the script and only the su binary so your answer would be fat chance unfortunately. :/

Issue fixed.
Is this the same as wiping dv cache through recovery. Also what will be the script for wiping cache? Will it be rm /cache?
Thanx!

Yes and the code is:
#!/system/bin/sh
rm /data/dalvik-cache/*
reboot

I'm not sure if /cache/ is really dalvik cache, on devices with OTA update support the OTA zip's will be stored their with other stuff but if you want I can give you the code for that.
On linux (That also means android) use 'chmod 755' for the permissions for the shell script.
I have tried adding 'su' but that fails has the terminal only executes the su binary so the rest of the script does not get executed.
Using the 'echo' binary to say out what it is doing is a fail has the terminal does not go anywhere due to the echo binary getting executed but it will not display output in the terminal anyway making the script not being executable.

Man I am full with ideas.
I can create a shell script to do:
[OTA]
Remove OTA Update zip in cache
Copy OTA Update zip from cache to SDCard
[Files and Folders]
Remove LOST.DIR (That is just a useless folder )
Wipe SD Card
Wipe Zip files (useful for custom roms on your SD which you don't want anymore)
Well soon I should get more ideas so the OTA shell scripts will not be possible unless I get a rootable device with OTA functionallity (I do have a Sony Tablet S but I forgot to root it but I went and installed the firmware update without noticing) so it would be the Nexus 4 I would test it on in March.
The thing is that more shell scripts I create more pages I have to add to my website to give information about it, how to use it and the download link which can take around 10 Minutes just by editing the code, make backup and then upload via FTP.

New shell scripts available which should be available tomorrow and if not a few days.
They are:
Aptoide Cleaner - I found out that the xml files are adding numbers to their file extensions so I built a script which can remove that problem real fast.
Take Out Bin - Removes all or at least most useless directories like LOST.DIR and LazyList, they are just a few.
ExtSD and USB Cleaner - Same has 'Take Out Bin' but it does it on the external SD Card while on USB, LOST.DIR will be erased has that should not be there.
-OLDER PROJECTS-
Dalvik Cache Cleaner - Read the first post.
Andro.Shell.Crash - This is good for developers has this does crash/lag/freeze the OS which can help a root exploit get in, of course there is different effects depending on the hardware and software, if the device is fast and has good hardware then it is possible that it may just lag and/or freeze but for older devices with older hardware can just crash.
NOTICE: The older projects are already out and available to download on my website.
I will be creating a forum about these shell scripts but I am not sure about the Aptoide one for many reasons.
I know that I am not suppose to be talking about this on a thread which has a different purpose but yeah, just an update.
EDIT: I uploaded and programmed the webpages from my tablet using WM FTP Client and DroidEdit Pro so that was a bit too early but all well, new thread(s) should come in tomorrow depending what will happen tomorrow (It is 03:30AM so it would count has today anyway).
Anyone can please guide me how to remove this script???
Thank you in advance

You just delete the shell script, you only use it in the Terminal Emulator so once you run it, it will wipe the dalvik cache so it will not do such thing in every boot.

Man I think you should create a script which are:
Auto clean of cache || Optimize App || Kill Media Process
If it's possible to you to create script with the list below that will be awesome ! ..
what is the code for auto cleaning cache every 30 minutes ? ..
and also auto optimize application every 24 hours ? ..
kill media process ?
I hope you could help me with this .. Thanks !

That's because I switched sites between 2012 - 2015. This thread was very inactive so I missed it out and didn't update the link with the new one.
The current server I use for it has some files that I'm aware of that are more often downloaded by users which means I ended up removing the shell scripts along with others that don't need to be there. I made a backup of everything before, by the way.
I don't feel that there's a need restore the file and plus, this thread's old.
Because of the sudden bumps of a thread that currently serves no purpose, something should be done about it to avoid further confusions.

Can you please tell me what your script did.
I made my own script that does
su -c 'find /data/data/*/cache/* -delete'
This one line saved me from installing multi-megabyte apps that do the same thing.
Is there anything more I should add to my script?
Now I can finally have enough room so Google Play can update apps again!

De-odexed!!!
Well, here again, hmm, it looks like the main problem with my swipe to remove is that I don't have a fully deodexed ROM(Xduos V3) which is why it's not working. sigh, and I was preparing myself to go for the hard way.
Guess my questions are answered here as for now.

New question
Can I save the little space I have in internal storage with a deodexed rom? deodexed rom is going to solve my issues with the rom's UI but I am concerned as to what effect it will have on my sgy performance?

If the rom is odex you will see .odex files in system/app and framework
To deodex follow these steps
Requirements
Pc
Android kitchen
Cygwin
Rooted phone with Busybox & terminal emulator
Winrar
Notepad++ (different from the windows notepad)
Alot of patience & a little knowledge
Please note I'm writing this from memory - some steps may vary
First root your phone & install Busybox (open app & click install) from the playstore
Also install terminal emulator
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
Set your screen timeout to 30mins
Open terminal emulator
Type the following (a new line represent push enter after the line before)
Su
tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar
Note it may take around 5mins to complete - You will know it's done when the prompt cursor returns
This will copy your phones system folder to the root of your site
card and call it system.tar
Copy this tar file to your pc
Next head to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195858
Download and install Cygwin and Android kitchen
There is a YouTube video which explains how on the thread so watch it
This is the part I can't remember exactly from memory
You need to setup a working folder - I can't
remember if you place the tar file in the rom folder in the kitchen directory or you unzip it & copy it to a working folder - that thread will say
Start Cygwin as administrator (right click on icon & run as administrator) if you get a load of errors turn off your antivirus
Navigate to your kitchen folder (you can bring up a list of folders by typing ls and type cd to change directory
Type ./menu
Kitchen will start
You have the option to create a working folder which will look in the rom folder - if a tar file is acceptable it will extract your tar into a working folder - can't remember if that's how you do it
Next goto advance (or extra options can't remember what it says)
Goto deodex
You need to change the api level so it matches your Android version
Now you are finally ready to deodex
Deodex both folders
Once done build the rom (lazy mode options should be fine Think it signs rom create scripts & so on)
Once it's built collect your rom zip
Now download any custom stock rom - maybe hyperion 9 for 5360
Open your rom zip with winrar
Delete boot.img if present
Goto meta-inf folder and I think it's in com/google/andoid
Delete the update binary and replace with the one from hyperion9
Next open extract the updater script from both roms from the same folder the binary way in
Open them both in notepade++
Replace everything in your script above where the symlinks start with what is written in the hyperion9 one
Save & copy this script back to your rom zip meta in folder replacing the one that is there
Copy zip to sd card
Go into Cwm
Create a nandroid backup
Format system data cache
Mount system data cache
Flash your rom zip
Error codes
Status 0 wrong update binary
Status 6 error with updater script
Hopefully there will be no errors and it will flash and when you restart you will have a fresh deodexed rom
You can go into Cwm and advance restore data only
This should restore your contacts sms and app data
For extra storage create a 2nd ext partition on your site card in Cwm (note that this will format your ad card so copy it's contents to a pc then copy back once done)
Once you have a 2nd ext partition you can download link2sd from the playstore and link apps to sd card - you can also use the app to uninstall bloatware from the system
Note you will need to use a kernel that supports ext and try ext4 first from the link2sd menu that will pop up & work your way back up if that fails
I don't normally post such a long explanation but I'm feeling generous - anything else please research yourself
Very Much Appreciated
