Root Deodexing GB.......

This is the deodexer zip brought to you by bouchigo.... He get's all the credit for this so make sure you scroll down and thank a brotha. I am just the messenger....

Apply through bootstrap and mount system as a precaution... Also expect a 3-5 minute wait on startup..
 
Take your time. I on the other hand have no clue where to even start doing that stuff so I will wait patiently.....:D
 
If I load up the rooted GB that has the recovery working in it, and then it gets deodexed, am I going to have to reflash and start over again? Or is the deodexing just for themes/ROMS and it will deodex and flash ROM/theme at the same time. I can't remember.
 
I assume the devs are going to be furiously scurrying to produce roms/themes and will do it for us, no?

maybe the 3.4.2 one will work?

Maybe, but I don't feel like trying it :D I don't believe it will work though, if it did, I don't think P3Droid would have called for someone to deodex it and shoot him a link.

Maybe you can test it out for us......lol

At this point it would be just for themes, as I'm sure the ROM devs would have pre-deodexed ROMs when released.
 
thanks guys, thats what I thought. I'm thinking I'll flash the rooted GB when I get home, and by the time I'm done putting it through its paces, stock, someone will have a ROM up to try.
I know it's a bit off topic, but does anyone know if Fab is gonna put down his new Nexus to throw us one last farewell Apex based off this? I def send him a nice donation for that!

I keep getting an error. I can pull the system apps and framework apps, but when I go to deodex, I get an error, I think xUltimate needs to be updated due to opcode changes (might need modified smali.jar and baksmali.jar).

Error:

Yeah im not sure xultimate will work as it stands. He mentioned something on the op for xultimate that it was updated for froyo so I would assume it needs to be updated for gb
 
Ok so a little update on what I've been doing. .
I doedexed the ROM using a rom kitchen for HTC phones. But I figured these files and what I need to do would be pretty generic for android phones in general. So I did all that and I booted up very nicely. Started checking everything out and I'm like wow... did I actually do this? I had to go check and sure enough all apps in /system/app read apk. no odex files anymore. Everything is going well until I try to access the settings menu.... apparently it did all of them successfully but settings.odex. I tried messing with it for a while but I just dunno. I submitted an issue ...Give it a look if you want. Any feedback is appreciated.

Try running this command:
java -jar baksmali.jar -c Settings.odex instead of
java -jar baksmali.jar -x Settings.odex.

EDIT:
It seems like JF has replied to your trouble ticket; a pretty lengthy and involved response at that.

What HTC kitchen are you using? A link perhaps? :D
 
the -c option is used to specify specific boot class paths. so the syntax to use it would be
java -jar baksmali.jar -c :specifiedjar.jar -x Settings.odex
 
By the way, xeudoxus has just updated xUltimate to v2.2.3 and says it should work with Gingerbread.....seems like it just got a lot simpler if indeed it does work :D:D:D


EDIT:
It's working so far :D:D:D

Gah! I spend all night working on this and he updates it. Figures! But oh well its a fun learning process. Are you going to give Xultimate a try again. I don't feel like installing wine just to try that out. And yeah he replied really quickly. I asked him to be a little more specific with what he wanted me to do.

I'm xUltimating as we type :p;) going good so far :D

He had previously said he was going to be updating it pretty soon, so I wasn't in a hurry to try too many other things..........they take up too much time.......lol
