[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
Oh I see. I have never done odexing or deodexing before. Is it possible to automate it and get all the dex files odexed? What problem did you run into? I had some issues getting my file deodexed but eventually got it to work. I missed a few things along the way, so maybe I can help?

I'm so used to setting up new ROMs that I don't think twice before jumping to another one. I have that sh*t down. :P
[T-Mobile LG G3] Boostjunky:
I also like the flashable blue theme he has for his ROM, and while I am capable of performing the same type of theming on the stock system files, I just don't have enough spare time to do it all.
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
Doesn't the theme need the files to be deodexed to work? How much more space do the deodexed files take compared to stock? I've been thinking of trying the other ROM, but like yourself, everything is working the way I like it for now, and there aren't that many benefits to the ROM yet (for me at least). I'll still check it out, and I'm sure it will get more features, or someone else will come up with a different take on the stock ROM.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Boostjunky:
I quickly threw together an odexing script that takes care of all the core files from the BOOTCLASSPATH first, then it odexes the remaining files in the framework folder.

Perhaps I'll have to sift through the script again and check that I didn't make any spelling errors.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Boostjunky:
Most color scheme theming is done via .png and .xml edits, which are not found in the classes.dex files, but rather, in the "res" archive of the apk.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Boostjunky:
The savings in space on the filesystem varies depending on the number of apps and whether the ROM is "Properly" odexed or not. If it's not properly odexed, the filesystem will end up even larger than a DeOdexed filesystem.

In a DeOdexed ROM, for every APK or JAR file, there is a classes.dex file within that APK/JAR archive. From this classes.dex file, the Dalvik Virtual Machine decompiles and stores an extracted/optimized classes.dex file known as the "dalvik-cache". So, in short, you end up with 2 dex files for every apk and jar package. 1 that is zipped into the apk/jar, and 1 that is extracted into the dalvik-cache directory.

In an Odexed ROM, for every APK or JAR file, there is a .odex file within the same folder that the APK/JAR is located. However the "classes.dex" file we spoke of earlier is no longer found inside a "properly" odexed apk or jar package. Where did it go? Well, it is the .odex file. It has simply just been pre-extracted, decompiled, and optimized for the system to use. And all without having to store it in the dalvik-cache directory. So, in short, you only end up with a single dex file (in this case, .odex) for each apk/jar package.

So, that's where you see the filesystem space savings.

The initial ROM size of an Odexed ROM is larger than a DeOdexed ROM (because the classes.dex files are zipped/compressed within the apk/jar package, whereas .odex files are not zipped/compressed).

But, after a DeOdexed ROM has initially booted up (I'm sure you've seen the message upon boot-up after clearing dalvik-cache that says "Android is upgrading x of xxx files), the resulting filesystem size is quite a bit larger since it now essentially has 2 copies of each classes.dex file from each apk/jar package (one compressed, the other decompressed).

Now, I said something about a "properly" odexed ROM. There are instances where a person will Odex their ROM, but won't pull the classes.dex file out of the apk/jar package after it's been odexed. This results in each apk/jar file potentially having 3 copies of the classes.dex file. 1 located within the apk/jar package (compressed), 1 located in the same folder as the apk/jar package (decompressed .odex file), and 1 in the dalvik-cache directory (again, decompressed as a classes.dex file).

Whew. That was a long explanation, but hopefully it gets the point across.

One thing I'm curious about is if ART will work with a "properly" Odexed filesystem. The reason I question it is because LG's filesystem would NOT be considered "properly" odexed since each apk/jar package has not only a .odex file, but also has a classes.dex file located within the package. So I have to wonder if ART uses the classes.dex file much like the Dalvik Virtual Machine, and that it won't convert a .odex file to an .oat file.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Boostjunky:
Just to update:

I found the issue via pulling a logcat during boot-up (or bootloop, rather). The issue was that I had attempted to Odex the framework file "com.qcom.bluetooth.jar" which just happens to NOT have a classes.dex file inside of it. Even though it didn't have a classes.dex file, the script still generated a false .odex file for that package, and thus during boot-up, the phone was not digging the file that made no sense.

Got her all Odexed in the framework, and am just about finished with odexing the /system/app/ and /system/priv-app/ apks. So far, so good.

I'll see if I can't get a filesystem size comparison after I'm finished with everything.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Boostjunky:
Results are in. The amount of space saved by Odexing the ROM I'm using ended up being 103.53 MB. Not as much as I imagined it would cut down (keep in mind, all the space savings is in the /data partition. The /system partition ends up using more space than the deodexed version of the ROM).

The sizes look like this.

Deodexed system size: 1.34 GB

Deodexed data size: 1.83 GB

Odexed system size: 1.53 GB

Odexed data size: 1.55 GB

Edit: I also tried enabling ART, and, as I expected, it doesn't work.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] levenum:
Hi, welcome to the forum.

It would help if you describe what exactly is the problem.

Can you sync your device, can you see the file from your PC, do you get some kind of error message.

Since I am not sure what the problem may be, for now I can recommend copying the file to SD and using a card reader.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rvlution:
I am rooted and was using CWM to flash Cyanogenmod. I did a factory reset and then did a restore. The restore went through, but upon reboot the message "Unfortunately, the process com.goog.process.gapps has stopped" appeared. Pressing "ok" only made more dialogs appear. A selection to use Nova Launcher and Touchwiz was also there but I was only able to launch Touchwiz. I don't have any service on the phone and it seems to have locked me out of my Samsung and Google account. I went back into recovery and did another restore and wiped the cache and the dalvik cache based on another thread I saw. Upon reboot, "Android is upgrading" appeared and acted as if it was reinstalling apps or something. Once I got to the home screen the same thing was happening though. I am at a loss and would greatly appreciate help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rvlution:
I just realized I forgot to install the gapps.zip I had downloaded and was hoping that would fix it. It did not and is still doing the same thing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
you only need to flash the gapps package once right after you flash the rom.....when you make a back up of the rom it also backs up the gapps....so when you restore you get what you backed up so you wont have to flash the gapps again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Darkside920:
I had this exact problem when I restored my stock ROM with CWM. The only thing that solved the problem was a factory reset.

Then I discovered Philz recovery. I've don't literally dozens of nandroid backups & restores since, without a single issue. Hopefully installing Philz touch recovery will do the trick for you, too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rvlution:
This makes me feel a little better. I am still pretty fresh to this world so could you point me in the direction of an idiot proof guide to do this? Am I able to do this with my phone already in this weird state?

EDIT: Or should I do a factory reset, download and install Philz, and then do a restore?

Second, I would install Philz and try to restore your CWM backup with it before starting over with a factory reset. You may get lucky.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rvlution:
Sorry if I sound clueless, but put Philz on my external and then flash using CWM recovery? And is flashing just installing a zip? Everything I have seen hasn't been too specific and seems to be focused on people who already know what's going on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
1. Yes but then you have to reboot into recovery to get into philz

2. Yes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rvlution:
Reboot into recovery meaning one of the advanced options in CWM? I just want to to make absolutely sure before I accidentally do something I shouldn't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] g_money:
Press and hold the home button, the power button and volume up button to get into recovery. Once there, find the philz zip and install from within CWM...

yes or you can just pull the battery put back in then use the 3 button combo to get into Philz recovery.....i forgot to mention that's the one im using as well :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rvlution:
Installed fine, tried doing a recovery and after reboot, same issue. Just did factory reset and restoring again. Will post results when done.

EDIT: After second restore I am getting the same issue. Am I skipping a step after the restore that I should be doing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rvlution:
Sigh, after Philz didn't work I tried the factory reset. While it "worked" and I was able to link my Google account back, I don't have any cell service. Is there a way to reassign my Sprint account to the phone?

when you did the factory reset did you wipe cache and dalvik cache? and since your on the stock ND8 rom you can flash KToonsez kernel for 4.4.2 touchwiz then flash the NDC Modem and see if that fixes the signal
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rvlution:
Tried that, I just get a black screen that says "SCRTN" at the top.

Yes I did. I've been seeing something about a corrupted efs partition and that seems to lineup with what is happening to my phone. It doesn't easy or even very doable to fix without a backup of the efs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
So you tried to flash the stock ND8 via Odin? which deletes everything including the custom recovery and makes everything stock
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rvlution:
Haven't tried that yet. Where can I download that? And is that the same process as rooting?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2738533 follow instructions on that post and you'll have stock ND8 running in no time :) just YOU MUST USE DESKTOP ODIN 3.09 to flash it :)

so you'll be on stock 4.4.2 Touchwiz......if you want to get custom recovery use Philz and flash through Odin as well just make sure the Philz is .Tar.Md5

I really appreciate all the help guys. I ended up going to Best Buy (we have Geek Squad insurance) and they initially sent me over to Samsung who I knew wouldn't do anything about it since it was rooted. I went back over to Geek Squad and they filed a claim and a new one is on the way. Once again, thanks and sorry for anticlimactic conclusion haha. I'm going to wait a while before trying anything on this one and will probably test stuff on the old one first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MortTheBeast:
Is there a method/software that can backup carrier info? Buddy of mine wants to upgrade to 4.4.2 but he is flashed to Selectel Wireless and that would wipe out his carrier info and have to dish out another $50 to get reflashed again. Was hoping there was a way to backup that info... install 4.4.2 and then reload the info. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MortTheBeast:
No?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mtsprite:
define carrier info. Do you mean his IMEI and baseband version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MortTheBeast:
Hate to sound stupid, but whatever info you might lose doing an upgrade or even a Factory Reset. He did a reset a couple days after having his phone flashed from Verizon to Selectel and his phone wasn't working right. Was making calls but they were showing up as another number and ended up having to pay the guy that originally flashed it... another $50 to reflash and fix it. Thought there be some method to save this info. I can only imagine there must be a way, as there must be people into messing with roms who have to go through this process each time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MortTheBeast:
Free can of beer for the correct answer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Maybe an NVbackup in terminal might do the trick. I don't know. If you figure it out let me know. I'm thinking about flashing another rom and seeing what happens. When I originally had a guy flash selectel I had to be on a TW rom. After this I restored a nandroid of nameless and still had service although in both cases my new number never showed up in about phone / status. I was told to use 8sms to change my phone number in there and then it would show up. On my first flash before I was told about the 8sms trick, I went home and was unable to do anything, no service. I went back flashed TW in his office. Did the 8 sms trick, then restored the same namless nandroid. All is well. Knock on wood. Last night I wanted to wipe data cache and instead of doing it in CWM or actually phil's touch, I did it in the phone settings and it wiped my friggin internal sd partition. What a freaking bummer. Luckily there was nothing super important on there I keep most important stuff on my external SD. I might try tonight to flash a TW just to see if my signal gets a bit better but I'm going to try to figure out how to backup my settings first. The second time there, the owner did the reflash and told me about the 8sms. He was clueless about flashing different roms. There's got to be a way to backup all the needed information in an AOSP rom, or an app, I just gotta figure out how. If you figure this out let me know

Thanks and good luck

Hi,

I am a total noob attempting to root their Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. So far I have successfully unlocked the bootloader, but when I try to install CWM Recovery, I get a perpetual <waiting for device> error.

I am attempting to follow this guide → androidcentral.us/2014/01/root-sony-xperia-z1-compact

So far...

USB debugging is on.

Bootloader has been unlocked.

Having unlocked the bootloader, I assume the necessary drivers and fastboot were installed correctly.

In cmd, I check with fastboot devices for two different directories. Fastboot is recognized in the directory I used for unlocking the bootloader. However, it is

not

recognized in the directory I am trying to install CWM Recovery from.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

why not just move it to the directory where fastboot is working?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trevonator126:
Hello. After bricking my device and getting it working again, I decided to factory set it. When it was booting, it came up with the yellow triangle. I can't seem to get out of it. PLEASE HELP. Thank you so much.

Edit to clarify: I wouldn't be so worried if this didn't happen while trying to reset my entire phone... Is there any way out of this? I can't seem to get into download mode.

Edit 2: It says SECURE FAIL: KERNEL at the screen and before the screen pops up, it says in the upper left hand corner in blue it says RECOVERY BOOTING...

Got it. Thank christ. Now Odin won't detect my phone.

Edit: I got it to work by holding volD+Home+Power. When the screen flashed the warning and is about to boot into the error, I pressed the volD button very fast until the warning for download mode came up.

EDIT: Surefire way to get into device: Make the screen go black if it isn't already by pressing the power button. After the screen goes black, hold down volDO+home for about two seconds and then, without releasing your fingers, start holding the power button. The download mode warning screen will flash briefly and then it will go off again. Once you see that screen flash, release your finger off of the power button. When the screen goes off, start holding the power button again. The next screen that loads should be the download mode warning. Instead of clicking "download mode" (unless that was your intent), click volDO to restart phone into regular mode.

You will have to root your phone for all this. You can only flash stock rom on the device without rooting it.

What bloat wares are we talking about specifically? Do you mean all the S-voice/S-Note/Air gestures??

They can be activated and deactivated from the pull down menu. Other things need to be disabled manually!There is no work around this without root.

You can't remove system apps without root. Clean Master has a function to remove bloat if you're rooted. I don't know if this is changed to disabling if you're not rooted, because my devices are rooted. I seem to remember a previous version of Clean Master had something like that. It merely took you to the app info scree, one at a time, but at least it did it sequentially instead of you having to hunt for each one on your own. Maybe that still exists.
