[Instructions] Deodexing your Backflip

[xStyle]

Could someone please explain what deodoxing actually is? What are the benefits, etc?

Could someone please explain what deodoxing actually is? What are the benefits, etc?

this is the response by the op:

The main, certain benefit of deodexing is that it allows developers, modders and themers to modify the files that are in these directories, and then put them up on these forums for other people to use (as I did with my mod to remove the date from the notification bar). Some people claim that it makes your phone faster, less space, etc, but I cannot speak to that for sure since I haven't done any sort of testing on this and haven't really researched it. So if you are looking to install certain themes or mods, this will be required. Otherwise, you can probably just skip this and never know the difference

So.. if I've been editting my .xml files and they've been bricking my phone, and I haven't deodexed, is that the reason?

Also, after changing the font on my phone, the notification area and some others are distorted and haven't actually changed to the font. Would the absence of deodexing be the problem?

Okay I don't guarantee that it will work because it is only part of a nandroid backup. It is worth a try though. I just hope you have the same software and mods that I have. I have done the aftermarket apps, j_r0dd's boot.img and the updated busybox w/ bash and nano. all running on 13.37 w/ j_r0dd's recovery as default.

[MENTION=3209664]xXRed98FlamesXx[/MENTION] You need to replace PATH_TO_AUTODEODEXER with the folder that you put the auto deodexer in (your desktop, C:\, etc).

[MENTION=3211633]xStyle[/MENTION] Not sure, I haven't really messed with editing any XML files, but I guess it is possible. I do know that if you do any smali/baksmali work then this is required. You can give it a shot and see if it helps, can't hurt anything by trying.

[MENTION=3211457]Ferdy_PR[/MENTION] Check your deodexed_JAR folder and make sure that there is a svc.jar file in there. If not, check the framework directory and make sure it isn't still in there for some reason.

[Ferdy_PR]

svc.jar is not in the deodexed_Jar folder its in the framework directiry...

[maciel310]

Hmm, ok. Did you run into any errors in the previous steps at all? That file should have been deodexed in the first run of the deodexer, so you might try starting over and watch the output of the first one and see if you get any errors on svc.jar. To make it a bit quicker you can just deodex the framework directory (leave the apk directory empty)

[Ferdy_PR]

started the whole thing over and get this error in th first part:

That is expected, that is one of the errors that occurs that is resolved in the later steps. Sorry, I should have been more clear, look for an error with the svc.jar file. If you remove all of the files within your C:\Deodexer\app\ directory then all it should deodex will be your framework directory, which should make it much easier to spot any issues. Before you do that, though, check to make sure that svc.jar hasn't been successfully moved to deodexed_jar this time through, it might have been a one-off issue.

[Ferdy_PR]

No its still in the framework directory going try to deodex the framework now to see if their is any errors..

I think this is the problem:
Processing archive: C:\Deodexer\framework\svc.jar

Extracting META-INF\MANIFEST.MF

Everything is Ok

A subdirectory or file deodexed_APK already exists.

[maciel310]

That would do it. Not sure why svc.odex wasn't copied over from your phone, but it should have been. Check the orig_framework folder on your sd card to see if there is a svc.odex file in there that might have been missed during the copy somehow.

[Ferdy_PR]

Ok so i got the svc.odex solved but now i have another problem. i have 4 files in my framework(android.test.runner.jar, blur.res.jar, framework-res.apk, and services.ja).

that makes sense ferdy those don't have odex files you can just move them to your deodexed_JAR folder.
