Root ZTE Warp Sync - All Things Root Guide

SuperR said:
I will have a deodexed, debloated, rooted (with SuperSU) rom uploaded shortly. Keep in mind that I am not 100% sure the rom will flash properly with the current cwm (warp4_cwm_1c.img). As long as you make a backup in cwm first you will be ok because it does backup/restore properly. Also verify that you can get into recovery without booting android. I am under the impression that you can use the button combo (volume down + power) from power off to get into cwm.

The rom has other improvements as well as eliminating kinguser. It should fix the apps writing to external sd problem, may fix the play store problem, and has an insecure boot.img.

Sending that boot.img worked out then?
 
Here is a link to the ROM. Please let me know how it works out :)

warp4_stock_B05_deodexed.zip

You will need to copy the rom to your internal sdcard in order to flash it since I have not gotten external to mount in CWM yet.

As always, make a backup first, then wipe everything, then flash the rom
 
An older post from Android stack exchange
ROMs are typically released in deodexed form because they can be themed and modified fairly easily, whereas theming/modifying an odexed ROM is basically impossible (at best things would crash like crazy). Some people also choose to release their ROMs in odexed versions for people who would prefer the performance gains.

Most of the stock ROMs I've seen are odexed, I assume because the carriers/manufacturers want the performance boost. They also don't have any kind of official theming methods, so they probably don't care if you can't change the colors of your status icons or your system text or whatnot. Plus they have the advantage of knowing what device they want their system to run on, so they can pre-compile the .odex files very easily, I imagine. As an added bonus, it makes it difficult to pull .apk files off of the device and share them with people.

Edit: Since I just realized that I was not very explicit about the difference here - an "odexed" ROM is one where the apps have been precompiled, and thus contain associated .odex files which are external to the .apk files. A "deodexed" ROM is one where data that would be optimized in the .odex files has been more or less merged back into the .apk files (meaning it is not optimized but basically platform agnostic), thus the .apk files are self-contained and there are no .odexfiles. This is usually just done with a deodexing utility, such as smali/baksmali.

What's dedoxed and what are the benefits

If you have a choice between a deodexed & NON-deodexed ROM, you'll most likely want the deodexed version cuz you (or I) could theme them &/or easily change them out for themed ones. This also makes life a lot easier for themed/tricked out ROMs to exist. SuperR posting the Deodexed ROMs is doing many ppl a favor for future Development

TWRP is flashed with flashify which does not use a PC, but I am not sure if there is a way to root without a PC. I hope someone else can answer this question for you.

Root with KingRoot.apk then install Flashify to flash TWRP. Boot to TWRP to flash Stock/Rooted/Deodexed ROM. Reboot = ta-da!
