WHAT IS AN ODEX FILE?

In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.

THEN COMES DEODEX

Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files. By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.

Hello,

I am running Kyrillos 9.4 on my Samsung Galaxy 3 and btw ROM is great... It is like I bought a new phone, the speed is much much better and the look too of course...

I use laucher pro and 4tab unlock screen and was wondering if I could customize it somehow to have different shortcuts in tabs...

Thank you very much...

I am currently HTC unlocked and running Virus' Infected ROM Eternity which has allowed my phone to run like a dream for a few months now. With this latest security update that's being pushed in the next week, will my phone get it since I am partial rooted and running a custom ROM? Do I update OTA if I get it? Do I have to wait for Virus to incorporate it into his Eternity ROM then reflash? I just don't want to screw up my phone because it's running perfect. Thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] LfnsR:
Don't take the OTA. Wait for Virus to update the ROM based on it.

Hi all

I have new Samsung Dart (android)- the device won't turn on after I installed ClockworkMod,

I tried to add addition language fonts to the phone,

I rooted the device first,

Then i installed "ClockworkMod"

I tried removing the battery, holding the power+volume down for 30 sec

nothing....

any advice will be welcomed.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] konna280:
did you try putting the battery back in and holding vol up and power to boot into recovery?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mr.Oug:
well i think it is hard bricked just go to the service center act like a fool dont say any thing about recovery . Tell them any story and youll get it reparied
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] t499user:
Made me laugh :)

Did you ever get anything on the screen when trying to power on again? How did you install clockworkmod, and what version did you use? Also what is the source link to the clockworkmod that you used?

If you can get back into download mode on your phone, you can find the stock roms/tools/directions at

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] t499user:
Sounds like you will have to send it in for repair. I don't think that a jig will help you.

Where did you get CWM from, and what version? Was it for the T499 or for S5570?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Nissguy82:
The Phone is bricked. I killed mine too flashing the clockwork mod, it did not belong on this phone. I think the phone is not on the list because it is not supported. The only way to fix it is to re install the factory boot loading files thought the service pins in the back of the circuit board using a special tool. I'm looking at mine as I type. Oh well, it happens, I just went ahead and bought an used HD2.

[HTC Desire S] shadi22:
This method works for software version 2.11 and above and doesn't work for version 2.10 below.. Please use zegRush if this doesn't work for you.

FOR PHONES THAT ARE NOT ROOTED

Note: For locked bootloaders only. Do not use Htc dev prior to using this guide.

First thanks to:

1. mtothearkus

2.petarpLab..

3.jcase for TacoRoot..

4. amidabuddha

5.zryvffn (misc_version_universal)

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE..

This was tested on latest OTA ASIA 2.15.xx with latest Hboot 2.00.0002.

Latest 2.15 cannot be rooted with zegRush so did some research..

Things Needed:

1.tacoroot

2.misc_version (download attachments below)

3.OLDEST RUU for your "REGION/ BRAND".. i repeat, specific region to avoid customer ID error.

4. adb (you know how it works)

5. phone in USB debugging mode.

STEPS:

1. download tacoroot and misc and put all files in your desired directory.

2. Run terminal and change location to where you files are.

3. now type:

adb push tacoroot.bin /data/local/tmp/tacoroot
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/

4.After pushing all the files, run tacoroot by typing:

adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*
/data/local/tmp/tacoroot --setup

5. After this commands your phone "REBOOT" the phone to recovery. Now press vol up then power then REBOOT to boot the phone normally. Wait till it boots completely and then type:

adb shell
/data/local/tmp/tacoroot --root

6.This command will gets you out of adb shell.. so we need to get back to adb shell and you will see "#" sign..meaning you are temp rooted and we can then proceed to changing MISC_VERSION:

adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.27.405.6

7. After its done you can now flash your "REGION/ BRAND specific RUU".

8. After your done with RUU. Proceed to http://revolutionary.io..

Happy Flashing ;)

FOR ROOTED PHONES

*Proceed with:

STEP 3

STEP 6

STEP 7

STEP 8

-Done

*Added misc_version_universal thanks to zryvffn

That's it.. hehe. 2.10 is an old firmware.. ASIAN OTA is 2.15.. so try the zegrush method.. this tut was developed for those who can't root using the zegRush..thanks amidabuddha..=)
[HTC Desire S] walphy:
Signed up here at xda just to say that this worked nicely on my Desire S. :)

I had difficulty making the ADB code given by shadi22 work at first, but after redoing them and just copy pasting them in terminal, they worked. My Desire S also had an Asia 2.15 ROM and 2.00.0002 Hboot. Used the Asia WWE 1.48.707.1 RUU to downgrade the HBOOT after changing the misc-version and tacorooting, then Revolutionary all the way

At first, I thought that I made a mistake choosing this phone (My Desire's display got borked and SISPH's repair quote was way too expensive for a nearly two year old device :p) because of the need to downgrade the hboot before getting S-OFF, but shadi22's method is probably the most elegant of all the S-OFF methods on 2.00.0002 devices :cool:
[HTC Desire S] shadi22:
HAHAHA.. thanks dude.. Anyway.. SISPH are full of dumb people.. i had problem with my device too.. a green dot on an LCD screen. my phones on warranty but never had it repaired since they have no replacement part yet. so give up on the idea for that damn SISPH.. They had the worst customer service.. they should never have been contracted with HTC on the first place.. No HTC on my next phone. The reason to go with HTC was mainly for the developers in this beloved site.. But now im seeing great dev from other phone section..=)
[HTC Desire S] qpkqkma:
Try to do a zergRush method. Everything run fine, i do steps 1-5, do a step 6 (run RUU etc etc.) but RUU say me error updating, phone stuck on HTC logowhen i pull out cable it load in HBOOT and say "RUU Security Fail ! Update Fail!".

Sucks.....im downloading RUU with SW 2.10.401.8 to recover phone.....

Any other method ? :D

[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
Off hand I would say that /data/local/tmp was not empty before you started and contains more than just the 2 files you copied there, thus the command chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/* is failing.

Why not just do 2 chmod commands for the 2 files you copied?
[HTC Desire S] dontjudgemekk:
How would I clear the /data/local/tmp directory?

Can you phrase what you mean by performing 2 chmod commands for the 2 files better? I dont understand what you mean unfortunately. Are you referring to the tacoroot.bin and misc_version files?
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
Yes after you create the adb shell and get the $ prompt type:

chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/taco root.bin

[Nexus S General] sperelli:
any hint? what are those apps supposed to do & did they to that for true?
[Nexus S General] suksit:

[Nexus S General] jesusice:
Yup, I did after reading her post. All the battery stats are used for is to show which apps have been using your battery under Battery Usage.

[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:

[Nexus S General] simms22:
so..

when i rebooted manually yesterday with 8% battery left and booted up with 53% battery, you want me to believe that theres no reason to delete my batterystats.bin? well i deleted it and rebooted again, booted up at 8%. in a perfect world there might not be any reasons, but ever since my first android(g1 oct 2008) and every android device ive owned since, the batterystats.bin file has always lost accuracy with a short amount of time. and it seems that deleting the file and rebooting has been the only thing to make it accurate again.
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
Did you bother to follow the link? Did you even read the OP?

Let me repeat that in case you missed it:
[Nexus S General] simms22:
oh, i did follow the link, and posted there too. and read that post the day it was posted. thanks for assuming. and btw, did you read my post? i didnt say that deleting it had an impact right away, i said it had an impact after rebooting.

[Nexus S General] dpeeps74:
I'm of the "I've owned more than 1 android phone and a battery calibration has never done anything" persuasion. It just never has. Users who get great battery life either have great signals or don't use their phone. Owning multiple chargers/batteries is the best way to ensure your phone has juice.
[Nexus S General] genaro12543:
I agree. I don't think anyone states it actually "improves" battery life, it just helps ur phone be as accurate as possible so you don't has inconsistent battery levels. There's no way any fellow flash addicts have not experienced battery level inconsistencies after flashing roms. It happens to me all the time

Take at look at the steep drop in the graph. I'm pretty sure wiping battery stats is purely meant to correct that issue as opposed to actually increasing battery life
[Nexus S General] jesusice:
As she noted, the battery stats file has NOTHING to do with your battery level or percentage. Now, its possible that you're right and she's wrong but I tend to believe the person that has actually helped DEVELOP Android versus personal anecdotes and intuitions.
[Nexus S General] genaro12543:

Fully charging the phone - firstly powered on, then off a few times, sorts the calibration.

And no...you don't damage the battery by fully charging powered on and off - they've made these batteries more intelligent than their gullible owners.

I'm using darkforest rc2 and I'm loving it. Has alot of the bloatware rubbish removed and has a nice ICS theme pre installed. It also can be used with the stock kernel as it's based on stock. So if I'm not mistaken there is no need for an unlocked bootloader. But that's also true of the cola RoM already mentioned.
[Hardware Hacking General] LexusFman:
Ok, so here's my dilemma. I want a convertible tablet pc. Problem is though, I think all of the ones on the market are poop. They either run android (I don't see the point still) and iOS, or are clunky and rediculously expensive. But I had a extremley bright idea. Buy whatever laptop I like, slap a touchscreen on that *****, and be happy. Keep in mind that as a poor college student with no job, I will probably never be able to afford this

1. Take apart laptop completley, Rip out the green bullcrap.

2. Mod case to be suitable as a convertible...or just look cool.

3. Rverse USB port to face inside

4. Close USB off from the outside

5. Get a USB Touchscreen conversion kit, which im sure come in many different flavors (Capacitive, Multitouch, Resistive), or better yet use a connector designed for computer internals, making #3 and #4 useless.

6. Add 3rd party accelerometer for Poitrait/Landscape orientation

7. Find a suitable hinge (or make one) and replace it

8. Boot laptop, install drivers for touchscreen and accelerometer

9. Pat myself on the back for custom making a tablet PC?

In my opinion the hardest part would be modding the case to be suitable as a convertible tablet, which can't be too hard. I have access to MIG/TIG welders, sheet metal cutters, grinders, ect. and I know people who know how to use them, so working with metal shouldn't be too dificult. In fact, I probably could just build a case myself from scratch. I also have alot of experience with plastic, so that's not a problem although I'd prefer to use metal for structural parts.

Touchscreen conversion kits seem to be all over the internet with a quick google search, and it shouldn't be too hard to find high quality capacitive touchscreen panels.

Walcom Bamboo Stylus because I'm a G

Accelerometers that work with windows I don't know about, but it cant be too hard Amirite? You can find ANYTHING for sale on the internet.

If I do do this however it will probably be in the summer (when I have a job). The only probelm I might have is the internals, seeing as I've never handled computer internals before. My brother did build his computer though, and I have a friend who also builds computers. It dosen't seem too hard compared to the other stuff like modding the case. While the laptop is dissasembled I'd probably put the parts in ziplock bags to keep them away from dirt and debris while I'm not using them. As long as I'm careful I don't thinkim going to mess anything up.

Good idea or no?
[Hardware Hacking General] romitkin:
Good idea. Just keep in mind that the whole thing would be much heavier than a regular tablet, so holding it in hand would be difficult.

I have seen an EEE PC modded with a touchscreen, but the keyboard part was still there.
[Hardware Hacking General] luna_c666:
Just get a transformer lol...

What is wrong with Android? What is it you need to do that it won't?

My other idea would be to tell you most android devices are capable of running linux too?

Sounds like alot of work..and there are suitable models on the market, but if you wanna do it?

By the time you get around to it I wonder where technology will be... ;)

PS ziplock bags? NO! Get some static bags..ziplocs are crazy static-charged! Honestly though, sounds like you are a good deal away from being able to deconstruct and reconstruct a laptop..the integrated circuits are ridiculously small and fragile..

PPS The hardest part might be actually getting the accelerometer sensors to function..which is where android comes in..you have to actually write some code into your operating system that will recognize and react accordingly withing the right parameters in your code..devs on this sight have problems with accelerometers that otherwise worked on a stock rom on OEM machines, god knows what it would take to get one working on a machine that never intended to have one by design?

That is all :)
[Hardware Hacking General] Will_nonya:
What's old is new again

It's funny we did something similar a few years ago to build PC's into cars and trucks. For that application and at that time it made sense. Today we essentially just make custom docks for COTS tablets so that they integrate with the car.

If you're opposed to Android and other mobile OS's my suggestion is to start looking around craigslist for convertible tablet/laptops like those from HP and Dell or look for a cheap HP slate. I've seen gently used Slates going for around $200-300 and they run windows 8 reasonably well. I've seen convertibles close to that price as well.

Unless you are just dead set on a fabrication project i'd strongly suggest taking advantage of off the shelf hardware and mass production pricing and spend your extra time and money learning how to get the most of of those components.

If you do go ahead with this then weight and cost will be your biggest issues. I think a better twist on this would be to figure out how to make a transformer type of dock for other popular tablets. If you can make them well and make them cheap then sell a few and buy what you really want.
