[ deodex script] deodexerious: all your base are belong to us!

Here's a script I've built for my own ROM cooking purpose
another purpose was to create a very easy to read script, so everyone can understand the magic of deodex
had some hard time figuring all the BOOTCLASSPATH and all the signing magic (if you want to do it manually, the secret is: don't pack and sign!, just add the classes.odex to the original jar or apk...whatever...
or use my script to automagically do all that)
after one brick and jtag reincarnation and a few bootloops
I present to you:
DEODEXERIOUS !! (the only spartan deodex script)
requirements:
Linux
zip
* tested on my Ubuntu 10.10
instructions:
1. extract the included script
2. put the content of system(including the system folder) inside the rom folder
actually you can create a folder named system inside the rom folder and copy framwork and app folder there, it does not require any other files from the rom
3. while in the console inside the extracted script directory execute from the console
Code:
./deodexrom.sh
4. wait and watch the console for errors (there shouldn't be any)
5. when it is done, you should find the deodexed files inside the deodexed folder
* if you want to start over just execute from the same place in the console
Code:
./cleanall.sh
tested and successfully deodexed:
I897 UCKB1
I9088 KP2
I9088 ZNKP5
I9000 XXJPY
I9000 XWJS3
I9000 XWJS5
I9000 ZSJPG
I9000 XWJV1 2.3.2, except email.apk
it does not support already deodexed rom's!!! (why should it?)
if you test other raw versions (even captivate ones) please inform the result, or problems found, I'll do my best to help
careful
the script is a very initial version
it does inform errors human readable so watch the console for them
oh! almost forgot , here's the script:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3595341/deodexerious/deodexerious_03.zip
change log:
04/03/2011 - deodexerius_03
added gingerbread XWJV1 2.3.2 - custom classpaths
smali and baksmali 1.2.6
case insensitive classpath helpers
note:
deodexerius can deodex all XWJV1 2.3.2, except email.apk
27/02/2011 - deodexerius_02
better support for the additional files in kp5 and kp2
good luck!!

To deodex a single app, you need to keep the deodexed framework files around. Then you can just do that app by pulling the code bits out of the framework.

How can I verify that the Deodex worked? I ran the script a couple times last night just to see what happens and then dropped the files in on my phone. Everything is working fine, just wanted to know how I can verify its deodexed.

I am use the same KB1 that hit the forums yesterday that i4ackback stated that works for him. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 and installed Java from the software manager, not sure if its the right one. I started copying the full system folder but ended up only extracting just app and framework just like the OP states. That message appears throughout the process but I end up with everything in the deodexed folder.

English version of miui

Here you guys go i made it more English friendly for you all. its pretty stable no problems really. except i cant get milestone overclock to work, but khal said he got it working. so hopefully he can make an update with his optimizations. There is also no apps2sd. and there is still a little Chinese. if anyone can get apps2sd working that would be awsome. Make sure you wipe dalvik cache and data.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q2DQOZ82

Interesting. They seem to have yet another set of dsp libraries. I also don't recognize many of their motorola proprietary files. Does anyone know what device this MIUI originally targeted before it was ported to XT720?

Thanks for doing this. Probably just gonna wait for Khal to do his optimizations, but I've been looking forward to MIUI for a while.

Is it possible to upload this file to Multiupload, so there's more links to download it from, I'm having some issues download the file from megaupload..
Thanks in Advance

I can upload to multiupload later unless someone can do it soon. And I'm thinking this was ported from milestone. I could be wrong tho.

hi guys install system appremover put milestone overclock restore this to system app reboot that it.

Have you just translated every values-cn to values-en or just get language files from miui-english?

I just changed build prop and replaced apps with English version milestone apps. From there English pack

Good, will do same for russian version.
Have you changed framework-res?

[ROM Release] CyanogenMod 7.2 [Made by Genokolar] (Optimized By Moihack)

This is a ROM I made by cooking the latest Geno's CyanogenMod (4/06/2012) so it's Gingerbread 2.3.7
I tried to make the ROM as small I could (size is 60 MB only) and build the system around your needs by leaving only the essential apps there
I also applied some fixes to the ROM
Changes:
1) Home Button Works (Changed Geno's Kernel in the boot.img with an older one)
2) Soft Touch Buttons light properly (like number 1)
3) All Chinese Apps Removed
4) Added Some Apps(ZeamLauncher,Play Store,WallpapersChooser,Music)
5) Changed Default CPU Governor to SmartAssV2 and Default IO Governor to DeadLine
6) Added Some init.d tweaks
7) Removed Lots of Audio files from media folder to save space
8) Updated hosts file(no more ads in apps) and gps.conf(optimized for europe,although I didn't tested it)
9) Added Root Permissions
Known Issues:
ROM starts with GPS enabled by default,remember to turn it off after installation
Calculator scrolling is slow. This is a general AOSP gingerbread issue for stock calculator app. Even a nexus s lags when scrolling to advanced panel in calculator (tried this personally).
Theme Support is still there,but there is no extra theme included in order to save up space.Just install any .apk theme and then apply it from theme chooser/manager.
TV-OUT doesn't work.
Installation:
Do the following in any order
-------------------------------------------------
Wipe data/factory reset
Advanced->Wipe Dalvik Cache
Mounts & Storage-> Format system
--------------------------------------------------
Now flash the .zip file
Reboot
Enjoy!
Well test it out,and tell what you think!
Happy Flashing

@sewa2k I am not that good to be able to compile a ROM from sources.Also that why I wrote the word "cooking" in bold in the description.I made it with dsxdia kitchen
@zchuxz3x I unpacked the boot.img in dsxdia kitchen of a previous geno's CM release(this one to be precise: sourceforge.net/projects/genoandroid/files/update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-u8800pro-Geno-120202-en-fixed.zip/download) and took the zImage of this release.I just added it to the boot.img of the 4/06 release and then home button & light of touch buttons started working again.
You are free to just copy,paste my boot.img to your mod if you want too

Are you in 2.2 baseband? I think you first need to upgrade to gingerbread,root,install cwm and then install any .35 kernel rom.otherwise you will have the random reboots problem.

tnx, fixed.

The rom works pretty flawless, however when I launch it the first time I'm asked to give a "Sim Network Unlock Pin". I've read a little about it, and it looks like something confuses the phone to believe that it's locked to a certain mobile phone company (it's not)
Will this cause any problems later, if I keep using the rom without doing anything?

I also get this message like you. I just press Dismiss and haven't got any problems so far. I think this is a CyanogenMod only message since I get this also in MIUI and MokeeOS (which are based on CM).
Anyway.I don't think it will cause any problems.

TV-OUT in Stock GingerBread

Hello there
The last 2 days I'm working on a way to enable TV-OUT option in stock (B572G) GingerBread Settings.
User Gkalenis had the idea that tv-out option is well hidden in settings.apk
He was right! If you use the settings.apk from his Horse ROM you should get a tv-out option(if you don't get one write this line to your local.prop)
Code:
ro.config.hw_tv_out=true
Local.prop is located in cust/unicom/cn/prop (maybe yours doesn't have unicom but anyway )
The bad thing is that I'm stuck....I think I have found everything that has to be copied from froyo to gingerbread settings.apk and references to tv-out but I am not able to recompile my settings.apk with apk multitool(or similar tools available here in xda)
Because I can't recompile I also can't test the changes I made to see if TV-OUT option gets enabled in settings
The pack in the download links provides all my work/progress so far + a notes file that explains what's in there.
I hope that someone here will be able to recompile the apk so we can see if tv-out option can enabled in GingerBread settings.
Download
http://www.mediafire.com/?fqodp9oqbfj6s59

The settings.apk is signed from huawei like fmradio.apk and some others, that is why you cant recompile it. I was trying a few months ago but i didn't find any way to recompile it.
Maybe you sould try with settings.apk from other official firmwares B512, B540 and the russian B552.
The apk from froyo rom is signed to?

What's the point of TV-OUT, if I hadn't seen a single person knowing what kind of cables you would need for it. Or am I mistaking what TV-OUT does?

No, the TV-out from our phone works with a 3.5mm to Rca cabel (gkalenis have done it with a old cabel from a N95 if i remeber it right)

excuse me, our phone translate vedio signal through 3.5mm jack?
UPD: aha, I got it, may be ordered for $1.9 here

Yes, here you can see it:
(with gkalenis Horse rom of course)

Thanks for info. Now back to deal. What if we extract settings apk of some other rom that doesn't have specific signature and just paste there all we need for TV-out and compile?
I made apk files for Aurora and there were no problems with signature.

Well I would like to at least try this in a gingerbread rom. Aurora is ics so a lot of things changed and I think it won't be that easy. Maybe a cyanogenmod settings.apk is more suitable for this. Feel free to try it if you want to

Aurora was just for example of what I did, anyway you got what I ment

I got the same problem with recompiling settings.apk
TV out is able to work not only in official gb roms but in any custom rom based on .35 kernel , but we have to find a way to recompile the settings.apk ...
Anyway Moihack did a great job and I hope he make it , we work together in a greek forum for the best on our phones
Someone must help on this to find a solution for a workable TV out function on every rom , even on ics , because the files are on settings.apk so I thing that if someone find a way to recompile settings.apk then we can have TV out function in every rom ...
Sent from my U8800 Pro using xda premium

If you need to re-sign it, then it's not going to happen as Huawei's private keys are exactly that - private. It's also unlikely that the Settings.apk does all the work of enabling TV-out itself. My guess is that it sets a property somewhere that is read by the framework and the work is handled by the framework. Has anyone analysed the Gingerbread framework/services to see if support for TV-out is present and if so, what property is required to be set to enable it? You might not get a nice settings option but having to run setprop in a terminal isn't so hard, either (assuming that what I just said holds true)

Unfortunately I wasn't able to recompile Settings.apk although it was taken from CyanogenMod(the release I cooked and is available in xda,so apk is from geno's release).
I'm uploading my work with this apk in case someone wants to try recompile this one.Almost all changes needed are applied(apart from the changes in DisplaySettings.smali)
http://www.mediafire.com/?gdol18f7nli7mao

I tried also to recompile settings.apk but no luck ...
I search also framework and services on froyo ( as qwerty said ) , but I couldn't find anything according to TV out ...
I hope moihack found a way to enable tvout on gingerbread , cause he's a hard working guy ...

[TUT] How to easily port CM7,CM9,CM10 Based ROMs to HTC Aria

Easiest and best way to port CM7,CM9,CM10 Based ROMs to HTC Aria/Intruder/Gratia
Code:
I do not guarantee any successful porting.
I am not responsible for [B]bricked devices, dead SD cards, or a broken device[/B].
[B]YOU[/B] are choosing to make these modifications,
and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device,
I will laugh at you.
->Copied from some xda thread.
*****
But a rom, no matter how bad should *not* do any physical non recoverable harm to your device,flashing a rom or restoring a nandroid backup via cwm *should* immediately fix any problems what so ever.
And I will try to help in any ways I can.​
I am NOT a developer, I can not code,compile,etc, I am only an android enthusiast with half a brain able to follow specific instructions.
This guide is actually somewhat a good combination of various "how to port roms"
guides found here on xda suited and very slightly modified for our beloved Aria.
Thanks to all of those threads and their writers.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Actual Tutorial starts here:
I will try to make this guide as straight forward as possible. ​
PORT ROM:
First you need to figure out what rom you are going to be porting.
For our Aria, The rom you want to port should belong to a device that has:
HTC brand (optional but recommended)
A ArmV6 CPU (VVVV important)
A HVGA Resolution (optional, any mdpi should do,if not just open the system apk files using 7zip and resize all the BIG images.)
The Rom needs to be:
CM7 BASED OR CM10 BASED OR CM9 BASED.
The full zip size less than 150MB(Recommended).
What Does Port Mean:
This simply refers to the rom you will be trying to port.
Recommended device to port from is the HTC Wildfire S a.k.a Marvel.
But any other device
BASE ROM:
What Does Based Mean:
It means that the rom should have similar sources and stuff,
Meaning you can only attempt to port a android 2.3 rom if you already have a 2.3 rom on the device.(In our case cm7).
So,
For porting 2.3 roms, chose cyanogenmod 7.2 as BASE.
For porting 4.0 roms, chose cyanogenmod 9 as BASE.
For porting 4.1 roms, chose cyanogenmod 10 as BASE.
ETC... I hope you get the point.
:fingers-crossed:

Thing you will need:
A good Zip extractor and compressor. (I use 7zip, its free. If you have winrar or something else,it will also do.)
Notepad++ (This thingy is awesome! And you need it for some stuff)
Android SDK(Not the whole thing, just adb zip from our sticky thread will do.)
Some Basic Android Knowledge, Root knowledge.
Mostly Common Sense.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 1:
Extract our device rom zip and name the folder AriaRom,
Extract our Port rom zip and name the folder PortRom.
Step 2:
Delete the following folders on the AriaRom/system folder:
App(You can keep some non conflicting indepent apps if you want)
Framework
Fonts
Media
Step 3:
Go to
Code:
PortRom folder/system
and copy:
App(You can keep some non conflicting indepent apps if you want)
Framework
Fonts
Media
and then paste them to AriaRom/system.
Step 4:
You need to open these two folders side by side(on windows, open both folders then right click on the task bar and click "Tile windows vertically").
The two Folders are:
Code:
[LIST]
[*]AriaRom/system/etc
[*]PortRom/system/etc
[/LIST]
In
Code:
etc/permission
folder copy all the permissions files in PortRom to your AriaROM folder except
Code:
platform
handheld_hardware
Then open init.d Folder in AriaRom and Delete Everything except
Code:
banner
and then copy all the files inside init.d folder of PortRom to init.d folder of AriaRom.
Step 5:
Now
Code:
AriaRom/system/buid.prop
and
PortRom/system/buid.prop
files using Notepad++
On AriaRom Build.prop make changes as you wish.
Code:
[LIST]
[*]ro.build.id=
[*]ro.build.display.id=
[*]ro.build.date=
[*]ro.modversion=
[/LIST]
Copy and replace these values from PortRom buildprop to Aria rom buildprop.
ro.config.ringtone=
ro.config.notification_sound=
ro.config.alarm_alert=
Also Copy anything you Find Extra and important-ish in ADDITIONAL BUILD PROPERTIES using common sense.(Not much major stuff, but if bootlooped, copy whole thingy.)
IMPORTANT Step of commons sense:
Open up both
Code:
META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
using Notepad++.
Compare AriaRom AND PortRom line by line(on two tabs in notepad++ easily done).
Copy extra/additional lines from PortRom which are not present in AriaRom to aria roms updater script.
Step 6:
If You find any extra file or folder in system folder of PORTrom than copy them to your Ariarom system folder.
Finally, zip the
Code:
META-INF
system
boot.img
data(if exists).
folders/files togather and use "normal" compression if asked.
Name the zip to whatever you want, and walla you have successfully ported the rom!

:fingers-crossed:
Doing the above steps should land you a pretty solid rom, as solid as the base rom.
Still,Incase of problems:
If the ported rom does not boot:
Stuck at boot screen
Bootlooping
Then copy system/lib/
Code:
libandroid_runtime.so
libandroid_servers.so
libmedia_jni.so
files from PortRom to AriaRom system/lib.
It should boot, if it still doesnt, check the above steps and find out what you did wrong.
Common reasons could be:
Build.prop mess up
Updater Script mess up
Forgot to delete or copy file
After it boots,
Everything that worked on Base rom, should work on Ported.
Every problem on Base Rom will exist on Ported.
In case of root related problems(settings not being saved,system app FCs,etc), install a root app like titanium backup or something and check if it works,if it doesnt its surely root issue,just download and flash latest superuser zip.
If some FC,Port rom funciton not working,etc issues appear, you need to decompile framework-res.apk using apktool and change device specific xml files to ours.This is a part where I have the most trouble and suck at.

this will help you to find the problems and search xda to solve them. Ask me if you want on this thread, & I will try to help, but I dont think I will be able to help much as I have very limited knowledge on compile De-compile stuff.
If someone is good at framework-res and framework decompile & recompile stuff, please help us.

Thanks for reading this,I hope you port over some awesome roms to our device.
:highfive:

I just tried to port the PACman ROM from Samsung Galaxy Ace to the Aria, but I am stuck at boot screen after following your tut, which is awesome by the way. Could you post a working build.prop and updater-script for this ROM? Maybe this will help me get it booting...

That's an Armv7 device.
Still I'm gonna download it & try.
In the meantime take a look at bootclass path.

I don't think so... the Samsung Galaxy Ace with device number S5830 should be Armv6, but in the Galaxy Ace Forums there is also a place for the Galaxy Ace II, which is Armv7. Maybe that's a bit confusing. But nims11 PAC-Man Rom is definitely for the Armv6 device.

hey man thnx for the tut but i tried porting the paranoid rom like you but i keep getting this error while flashing ( set_perm: some changes failed) i think it have something to do with the updater-script, could u upload the build.prop and the updater-script for me ? and btw why do we need the sdk ??

In that case you'll need to unpack both boot.img aka the kernel , fix bootclass path in init.RC by replacing it with the value from port roms init.rc.
Ill try to port that rom soon and upload a fixed boot.img (if I can get it to boot),if you don't beat me to it. it looks cool.

Bootclasspath is the same on both roms. So there must be a mistake in updater-script and / or build.prop. I've just messed up my updater-script, I guess, so I'll make a new one and post it later together with the build.prop.

I got this pac rom booting & everything operational except per app dpi(exists in port rom).
This rom works with the guide.

Sadly, I didn't get any time to try so far. But on Sunday I lost my Gratia, so I won't continue this project; I've upgraded to the HTC Desire X.

It should pretty much work,
If it doesnt, just send me the
Updater script
Build.prop
files of BOTH roms, And I'll have a look.
I wouldve tried myself but my aria has no network and has random reboot issues due to falling hard.
