Q:What is odex/deodex?

A:

Odex:

Every android application comes with the extention '.apk'. Packaged with every apk is a .odex file which contains parts of the application which helps speed up the boot process and preloads it.

Deodex:

Deodexing is a way of repackaging the apk such that it is reassembled into the classes.dex file. Everything is put together in one place, and this is helpful because it eliminates any chances of a modified apk conflicting with other odexed parts.

So to sum up everything, a .dex file contains the cache used by Dalvik VM during boot and this .dex file is located inside the application. On the other hand, .odex file is an optimized version of the same .dex file but it is located outside the application.

What do I lose/gain using odex/deodexed ROM?

The upper hand deodexed rom has over odexed is integration. Every ROM maker loves deodexing the rom because of two main reasons:

Modification of apk becomes easier

ROM is open to theme modifications

So, as an end used, you would most likely want to have a deodexed version of a ROM to take full advantage of android freedom. However, note that you won't lose out on performance in an odexed ROM.

Q)Which Theme to flash or will this theme work

A: Any theme that is built for XXKH3 Deodexed is flashable with the ROM.

But the only Downfall to this is that you will end up loosing a few features like Jkay Themes app!!

Now the Themes that dev the Themes at Checkrom.com or our official themes dev's who make themes for us make there respective themes over CheckROM so when u flash there themes you don't lose any features :D
