What is the difference between odex & deodex?

Thank you very, very much! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] twoeleven99:
Am i just not seeing the link on the first page ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Link to new update is up.. please report any issues and I always appreciate feedback! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tommytomatoe:
Odex is is taking the classes.dex from the system jars and apks and optimizing them (odex=optimized dalvik executable). It leads to faster bootup times because dalvik doesn't have to be rebuilt for the system files. Furthermore, that's how the big companies do it. There's a reason for that.

You can do anything with odex that can be done with deodex. Just stick with odex. :-)

tapatalk signature here. lovely.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I was fortunate to be able to be one of Calks testers but when I am done putting the ROM through its paces I will be back haha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zeks:
Wipe? Just cache and dalvik?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
If coming from another rom, I would do a full wipe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] big_slug06:
Anybody have a mirror? megaupload is being lame :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
Thank you VERY much for your help explaining. So if I understand you correctly, deodexed is the best?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I believe tommytomatoe is laying a case for odex to be considered the best but don't want to speak for him
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
ok.. I am going to go ahead and say this. Odexed is FAR better. Thats why they come that way. They are optimized, smoother, and much more stable. People deodex their stuff simply because it makes them easier to play with (manipulate) and share. I didnt want to start this arguement and I still dont. An odexed system will ALWAYS be snappier. If you disagree.. great.. there are more than plenty of de-optimized-dalvik roms out there!

A lot of people will say that they do not notice much difference.. but anyone that knows much about these systems will agree that they are faster and more efficient; just more difficult to work with. I spent several hours odexing these frameworks so that I can have my mods, themes, and optimized dalvik executable.. I hope folks appreciate this effort..

Just remember.. if a deodexed system/framework was better, HTC and Samsung would have made it that way to begin with.

sorry for the rant.

you know i am big fan of the work you put in! also did you get a chance to cruse over to the ICS theme thread? I asked Overstew a question since Calk released his rom in the wild and it has some nice tweaks to it. Not that you don't work super hard giving us odexer's some love, but if beggars could be chosers, i would love to see some odexed rom's based on Calk's ROM with themes.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I am going to spend some time loading his rom and trying to odex it this weekend. Its not something I could personally release if I'm successful but I am gonna see if it would work just for fun.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
maybe incorporate some of his elements IE battery saver, x5 app screen, 5 app dock, etc.

Dear Devz

After getting S Off, installed titanium, whn it show I don't have root privilidge ! What does it mean.

Does it mean I can't chng my rom. Plz guide me.

Thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] Tera Tike:
Here is some great information about rooting your Wildfire S and update the ROM with ClockworkMod.

[HTC Wildfire S] buber82:
Download root.zip from root tutorial and place it on SD, also download CWM recovery from alquez topic, install recovery then install root.zip from it ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] galgamo:
Hi!!

As you have been told, you must flash a custom recovery and then the "root.zip" in order to have superuser.apk pushed so your applications can be granted superuser privileges.

Read the tutorial!! It's easy.

Good luck!!
[HTC Wildfire S] cleansafi:
Thanks to all of you Itz rilly appriciate that i got you guz on this issue. As somewhere i knew that what ever i do anything wid my phn, it is better to keep the phn battery at full charged.

So i'm thinking to wait for a while. Then will follow the procedure with that link terra giv. And after did that i think i can go with the change of ROM like cyanogenmod :)

Am i right or wrong ???

ThankS..
[HTC Wildfire S] buber82:
You need battery charged at 50% to do this :)

Cyanogenmod is fastest ATM.
[HTC Wildfire S] mstfkaratas:
You're right, cyanogenmod is great but camera is not working with flash, and take a look at jikantaru's ROMs, his roms are good and stable
[HTC Wildfire S] cleansafi:
I thought so also.
[HTC Wildfire S] imlgl:
Just run gingerbreak, phone reboots then you have superuser etc, and it's rooted.

Ok so I have a EVO that's already flashed to boost by a shop a long time ago but now it has screen problems and I don't want to fix so I got another EVO very cheap and wanna flash it but the only thing is the first time I had my old phone flash he never ask me for a donor phone so I don't have any info from whatever he use,I have both cdma 2.7 and dsf cdma 3.1.0.1 need help please cause I'm without a phone now and I really need it
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] booyaga:
i did a custom search in google and did not find any comparison or info..

any one used both, that could tell me something about wich is best battery/performance wise..?

i now use wolfs i used it for music at work and made some calls, now 9h in it has 37% left..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danniehayabusa:
i have used both, but not the newest, i used ones before, and i think erick's rom was better, at least for me, no lags and better battery life, with freekernel and OC, now i'm on dixperia 3 with stock kernel and no OC, and let me tell you, is the best one i've ever tried, the fastest without using OC or custom kernels, buuuuuuuut, i didn't tried the newest version of wolf and erick, but i don't change my dixperia 3 for nothing :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matchaq:
tried both on latest released.. personally i like ewjet on battery life since i am a heavy user.. :)

[Focus General] wolvngelz:
Hey guys,

Just got an unlocked Focus (used) from eBay.

Everything works fine, just updated to Mango, but I can only make ONE proper call after I reset the phone.

Everything after that, the dialer screen just hangs until the call ends and everything resumes back to normal.

When people call and I answer, it's the same thing.

Basically I can make/receive calls, but in the call screen, everything's frozen, I can't put it on speaker phone, open the dial pad or mute.

At the same time, no sound either way.

Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] tripacer99:
I've got an upgrade coming my way soon, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what to get.

I know the galaxy nexus will be released in the next couple of weeks, and will be one of the most powerful and beautiful smartphones on the market. But as every android user knows, there will always be something better released two weeks later.

This is where my problem arises. The quad-core transformer prime will be out soon, which means quad-cores in phones will start appearing in the near future. My question is, is it worth waiting until the beginning of 2012 for these quad-core superphones? Will the benefits (battery life, speed, performance) heavily exceed those of a dual-core phone?

I'm a patient man, I can wait. But if the added benefits of two additional cores aren't really worth it, then I have no problem grabbing a GN for the next two years. I want your general opinion though.

Anyone tried this? Looked at the seller's feedbacks and all the people who bought the same item were happy. Hoping someone here who have used this give us a review. Thanks!

Some comments from eBay about the Aoonen usiness Battery for HTC sensation G14 Z710e 2800mAh:

So you might wan't to watch out, although €5 is a really nice price for a spare battery :) :)
[HTC Sensation] shaider_516:
i only saw one comment from your post on aoonen ebay feedback. but with its price, it would be a nice spare battery.

going to buy this to test this battery.
[HTC Sensation] Ryanrenesis:
I don't know about you guys, but how can anyone believe this battery is even anywhere close to 2000 mAh, much less 2800 mAh as advertised.
[HTC Sensation] atticus182:
Yes with this seller indeed, but there are other sellers selling this battery :)

Good luck testing! I'm betting on the Mugen Evo3d 1950Mah battery :) hopefully it'll arrive soon!
[HTC Sensation] mulawingalang:
Tell me if it's worth the purchase! I'll order one too. :p
[HTC Sensation] vivanshah:
if anyone does get this, please post a thickness comparison with the OEM battery.
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
Is suggest the anker
[HTC Sensation] Eddie Hulme:
Mine arrived from China today, so took about 14 days to arrive - it was sent recorded delivery ( had to be signed for ). The thinckness of the battery is the same as the original battery in my HTC Sensation. That battery came with 95% capacity pre charged. Just topping it up at moment and will then test its use in comparison to the Original.

I bought mine as a spare battery as I go hillwalking and even though I have a powermonkey backup a spare will come in handy as my mapping software drains the HTC when the GPS is running.
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
Is that possible? A battery of 2800mah having almost the same thickness as a stock battery.
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
Oh for sure. Just by wondering, you have created a vortex that combines the Big Mac with the Whopper and a Zinger which Captain Planet fuses into this battery.
[HTC Sensation] walle4893:
Anker is the good choice!
[HTC Sensation] mattbutsko:
Definitely not, atleast right now anyhow. We haven't found much a way to increase mAh without increasing physical size in a while, lithium cells have hardly improved in that area since their conception. This battery is probably anywhere from 800mAh to 1500mAh.
[HTC Sensation] shooric:
You got it wrong, high capacity and same form factor is physically possible, just ask Wayne Szalinski!
[HTC Sensation] sexysathya:
I got one.

Checked it 2 days back!

Same thickness.

less capacity than the original.

But may be in the range of 1300mAh. cant say exactly. Have to use it and see. will post the results soon!!

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

One review says

"Good battery, but the real capacity is 1500mAh. Test it RC-Power 601BS"

can any one tell me how to check correctly?
[HTC Sensation] dazdeeuk:
I bought one of these, without doing any fancy analysis its as good as an Anker.
[HTC Sensation] Bubreg:
I would not go for this Chinese things at all... It's a hoax definitely.

I bought a Seidio 1900mAh for Sensation two months ago, and it really ROCKS! I really get a big big difference compared to the stock one. I think Seidio are the best alternative batteries that do not bulk your phone. I also tried PowerSkin, and It also rocked indeed... it's fancy in the winter time when you have big pockets, unfortunately, it died after a week because it was defective :(
[HTC Sensation] sexysathya:
I used it last few days. It is almost as good as stock battery.

I can live with it. No prob. And when compared to the price, no question about the value.
[HTC Sensation] steling:
I have this battery. Without charge sustain 2 days. Of course, no music, navigation and animated background. I think that is slightly better than the original.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
People, it's not going to get any more than about 1900ish without physically increasing the size of the battery. I am here to crush your dreams, it's not gonna happen.
[HTC Sensation] Sean09:
Makes a nice free spare then when you file a fraud claim against the seller, if they are indeed misrepresenting the battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] SouthernEvo:
Dont get me wrong I like the clock/weather widget. But am I the only one that thinks HTC went overboard on the weather Icon size ? If its cloudy or anything like that the damn icon covers up weather condition (or part of it) and covers up part of the Temp outside.
[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
I disagree. I love the full screen animations. If u dont like them or the sounds, all u have to do is turn them off. Htc gives u a bunch of clocks and ever a seperate weqther widgwt. Dont hapte having options.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
OP wasn't talking of the animations. He is talking about the weather conditions icons under the clock. When cloudy, the clouds do cover up and somewhat hide the temperature info.
[HTC EVO 3D] xPSYCHOTRONx:
I like the dock mode but the big thing that really bothers me is the capacitive buttons stay on amd are bright as hell. Shish they turned off in dock mode or atleast dimmed to the screens brightness.

Opps thought op ment dock mode my bad

[TouchPad General] sinistersai4d4d:
Longpressing home is cool and all, but pales in comparison to WebOS and even some iOS jailbreak offerings.

I'm currently loving SwipePad which allows me to see several custom apps and actions with one bezel swipe. CM7 allows you to set only one custom action to 'long press home.' I prefer using long press home for recent apps and SwipePad for frequently used bookmarks and apps.

Perfect Task Switcher offers an alternate UI to see recently opened apps, and allows you to kill the tasks like in iOS.

They're both free and in the market and worth trying. For me, SwipePad makes me not miss the card view task switching of WebOS even though it only shows icons and not previews.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] micahman:
I just got the MT4GS after being a long time MT4G user and I'm wondering if it is worth it to root as there is currently no CM or stable Virtuous Rom which is what I used on the MT4G. Any helpful opinions are much appreciated.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
If Virtuous is what you like then I'd say yes, go for it and root. The Virtuous ROM might be in beta here in the MT4GS forums but it was smokin' fast and stable enough when I used it. I'm sure an official release is just around the corner anyway. good luck and welcome to the MT4GS family!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] micahman:
Thanks for the feedback and welcome, good enough reason for me. One thing I do like a lot on stock is the camera app, is that included in the beta or is there a flashable mod?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Yes sir, the Doubleshot camera app is included.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Root it. Then you can:

Enhance your gps ability because of the generic gps file that's coded very poorly (in fact wrongly ... T-Mo doesn't maintain a good SUPL server, and if you're not on the T-Mo network your AGPS isn't working in stock configuration...well, maybe a little, but not anything worth mentioning. )

Flash a better security update to fix the big-brotheresque HTC spy mode (htcloggers.apk). HTC released an update to patch their security hole, but they are still monitoring everything you do with the device. Flash Undeadk9's security patch to just cut them off at the knees instead, or uninstall htcloggers.apk ( and other file I can't remember at the moment )

Change your hardware key files and re-map some buttons to be more useful.

Flash custom ROMs, as you're aware...

Play with the upcoming kernel files from myself and others...( give us time to make it stable )

...and so much more!

Generally do the things with the device that you've paid for that you should be able to do. Why spend all this money on something, and only use like 60% or less of what it can do?

If you're here and posting, then you should probably just go ahead and root it. It won't be long after you've been poking around in here reading through all the things we have been/are doing with the device before you'll go for it.

Check the sticky at the top of the general section to get a good handle on where to go first and what to read through. Take the time to read through the threads ( I know they are long ) - you'll see what all the problems were that people encountered, and how they were solved. Even if you don't run into the problems, at least you'll learn a whole lot and understand your device much, much more intimately.

...and if you get stuck, we're here to help. Many of us have been through this whole process countless times before, and are willing to lend a hand - just don't post random questions in the dev section and everything will be good.

Welcome to our little corner of the XDA universe - you'll love this device!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] micahman:
Wow, thank you for all the info, I am very grateful. I've noticed there are a few threads detailing how to root but can you tell me which one would be the best and most reliable? Thanks again for all the info, especially about that HTC spy stuff, I had no idea.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] shady503403:
I used theunlockr.com to root it, worked like a charm and has a video walk throu.. which I'm a big fan of. Easier to follow. but the only difference is to flash modoco cwm not revolutionary.. so you can flash undeadK9's roms.. id suggest senseless. :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] micahman:
Thanks man! Got it rooted and running senseless! So far so good!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Not to contradict Shady's advice, especially since it seems like it worked for you, but i've previously and still do recommend against going to a third party web resource outside of XDA to root the device.

The reason being is that a lot of us did everything from the information available here, and we are familiar with the processes and common problems people run into following the guides posted here in the forums.

If you post questions about problems or an issue you run into, you run the risk of slow or no support because of the unfamiliarity the majority of us here have with outside methods and resources.

I know off the top of my head I could post a helpful response to someone having a problem with a method described here. For an outside resource...i'd probably have to go look it up, maybe download somehing, and probably try the method before being able to help.

Then i'd have to dig into the code of whatever offering was in question, to ensure it wasn't doing anything I didn't want it to do before installing anything.

Ultimately, this is a lot more time and trouble then just digging into my memory or looking up a specific thread to verify something, and also probably provide a link to the specific post that addresses the problem.

I'm hitting overtime consistently on my night job, and still picking up hours at my day job, and honestly would rather commit the level of time necessary to troubleshoot an outside resource on something more personally productive, like digging deeper into kernel source or something.

Just a thought to keep in mind as you (and others in the future) wander around here. I promise that everything you need to root your phone and install custom ROMs and such is right here in the MT4GS forums. (excepting the need to go to the revolutionary resource for S-OFF).

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] shady503403:
Very true. They use a lot of information found at xda to build their guides off of thou. And a video tutorial is always nice, for me anyways. :) but yeah.. don't expect support from theunlockr.com.

I always go their, sometimes their outdated or wrong. But still gave me a general idea and I was able to use multiple guides to give me the correct process..
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] @eon:
Well I definitely very much appreciate your prompt, and very detailed response to my many questions. I've been reading over what you've written plus the links over the past day. The main issue I have is digging through each thread looking for relevant information, while trying not to get sucked into each and every tangent post/link/info. I lost track of how many hours I've wasted reading irrelevant info which I initially thought actually had something to do with what I was after. And now a day later, I have my desk covered in reference notes (which are no longer comprehensible) and I'm more confused than I was before.

There are plenty of issues I have with forums in general. First of which being, organization seldom exists. Its like going into a library with a single question about 'how to change a tire', and leaving with 15 random, heavy books on quantum theory and black-matter, because apparently someone implied they were somehow related (I'm referring to other people, not you). Discouraging to say the least. I thought this would be more black-and-white; more simple. When 'Android' was new, rooting was simple (less ways to re-invent the wheel).

I'm walking away from this for now. The headache isnt worth it (I literally feel like I got skull-f*cked by god himself). But thank you for your help and feedback.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dmarco:
Yes it is DEFINITELY worth it... Root away my friend and welcome to the MT4GS family. This phones kicks ass and we are expanding every day like wildfire :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Hah, yea, XDA is like that all over - just the nature of the beast.

This is not the quick-answer type of home, yet from a developers point of view there is no better place on the internet for android/phone development information and help.

It really does all start here, and the journey of discovery is much more prized and worthwhile then the actual end result. In that respect the way XDA

is

, is the way it should be.

Sometimes the best way to come to grips with something is to forget about it for a little while. Let your mind work it over running in the background, and when you bring it back into focus you'll have a better hold on what you need, and what you still have to learn.

Again, feel free to ask any questions you may have and we'll do the best we can to get you set in the right direction.
