How to de-odex a CLIQ rom

[miharkula]

An easy and automated way to de-odex a CLIQ rom (or any for that matter) is to use a "kitchen".

I started with dsixda's HTC Android Kitchen. Latest version is here.

It is primary for HTC phones but there is much of it that works for the CLIQ, including the de-odex script (with some additions).

The do_odex_file in the scripts directory has checks for specific files and adds on extra dependencies to de-odex them.

Between line 94 and 95 is where the changes need to go (see below):
elif [ "$odex_file" == "com.htc.rss.odex" ]
then
### CLIQ stuff goes here ###
ignore_errors=yes
fi

Add in the following:
### MOTOROLA CLIQ
elif [ "$odex_file" == "com.motorola.blur.library.friendfeed.odex" ] ||
[ "$odex_file" == "com.motorola.blur.library.home.odex" ] ||

Then you can use the regular menu steps to de-odex the rom:
"0 - ADVANCED OPTIONS"
"11 - Deodex files in your ROM"
"b = Deodex both folders"

I've attached a copy of the modified file as a zip file (wouldn't let me upload a file without an extension).

Nice Thanks for posting that.

Which roms have you tested it on?

[miharkula]

Nice Thanks for posting that.

Which roms have you tested it on?

Just the 2.0.26 update. I initially did it as a learning experience and to create a rom/mod of my own. Decided once I figured out how to get all the files de-odexed I'd post it..just took me longer then expected to find the time.

Can someone explain what the benefits and pitfalls of doing this are? Is it just so you can change some icons and fonts? If so... meh...(I guess I am getting old.. although I did like the icon changes adumont did to adlxmod-2.0.. only a handful but better than the 1.5 ones Motorola left in this 2.1 version!)

It makes it easier to theme and allows some things you couldn't do otherwise (like making the status bar background black).

Thanks miharkula, I'll add this modification to the next iteration of the kitchen

Please always notify me if you find more stuff like this.

Thanks. I thought about PM'ing you over at XDA but since it's mainly for HTC phones, I wasn't sure you'd want it in there. (I just noticed that there's a duplicate in my code which I'm guessing most people noticed and I'll fix in a sec).

Tonymy01 the benefits: the APKs become platform independent. Meaning you can move APKs from one build to the next without regard to the Frameworks OR the MACHINE that reside in each build. As it was stated above you also get access to be able to modify the RES without needing to worry about messing up the relationship with other APKs that rely on the signatures of those APKS. Usually it is desirable to DEODEX a build when you plan to decompile, and modify any of the APKS.

Pitfalls: You are removing the device optimization from the APK. The APK will be semi-odexed at initial boot which will be slower on first flash as dalvik-cache is loaded up. This conversion also does not move memory pointers into native calls, but leaves them in dalvik calls to be cleaned up by the JVM, in the ODEX form they are native memory pointer calls. And since they need to be initialized and moved over to data you essentially eat double the space for the .DEX file, once inside the APK and then a second time to be ODEX'd inside dalivk-cache.

Generally it is preference, but i find ODEX to run much faster all around, and depending on the size of the build save a good amount of space on the NAND.

hey budd i followed your guide and iv tried it multiple times and keep recieving syntax errors when deodexing

the error is related to adminfeednotifier.odex

Please post the complete error message.

Well my aim is to make it universal. Any idea why it's not possible to make a flashable ROM for the CLIQ with the kitchen (I don't have this device so I cannot test)?

[godfather123189]

here is a screenshot of the error

it does the same error for every file in system/app and framework


it does this error under cygwin and actual linux

does it work for you if you try to deodex a cliq rom?

I removed the bb code block notation in my post. I didn't notice but it was parsing the code incorrectly and removed the variable name from the if statements.

It is possible. I used the kitchen for just about everything when I was working on a rom.

would it be possible that you post your file for me to try instead of me making the changes because im still coming up with the same error
