[Q] Deodexed flashed over Odexed stock rom?

---

Hi all.

Perhaps this is a newbie query but here you go.

I've been flashing stock rooted OTA's from the beginning, and always chose Odexed over Deodexed I suppose because of file size. Now, I'm looking to diversify and have the ability to theme etc.

Can I flash a deodexed over an odexed rooted 4.53.651.1 OTA with out data loss?
I assume I can just wipe dalvik, and cache then apply yes?

The specific thread I'm referring to is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...27&postcount=1

As I'd like to incorporate this with out flashing an entirely new rom. I'm cool with stock rooted goodness.



Thanks!!

I don't think you can flash a deodexed over odexed...reason being the deodexed ROM will just overwrite the current files without removing the .odex files from the system...

But you could probably get away with it it you wiped System, Dalvik and Cache (keeping Data) before flashing the Deodexed ROM. I have always wiped System before flashing a ROM just as a precaution but I believe flashing a ROM already does that.

Thanks. However if you don't know the the answer to the question, despite it being placed in the "wrong" thread, why do you feel the need to moderate it? Thanks to the others for their replies.

Take a pill man.. Jesus.

cuz if its not moderated, idiots who cant read properly will continue to spam the developent thread with stupid questions

Excuse bigdee. Some people just get frustrated with the fact that people post questions in the development section when there is a questions and answers section the same place one will find development. Others assume people read the forum rules and investigate the forum structure before posting. I wouldn't say he was moderating, more so informing you of where to post questions so threads like these don't end up where they are not supposed to.

Hope you understand
