[ICS][Deodex] stock system apps and framework [2.007.04_COM_GEN1]

This will have to be "flashed" through adb and your a100 needs to be on the newest update.
[STOCK ROM] Official Packages It's the first link on that post. We can thank vache for that.
All bloatware is still included, also acer's MusicA.odex did not deodex and is included.

Code:

$ adb shell
$ su
# stop
# mount -wo remount /system
# rm /system/app/*
# rm /system/framework/*
# cd /mnt/external_sd/path_to_tar
# busybox tar xvf A100_2.007.04_COM_GEN1_deodex.tar -C /

Permissions should be fine as it is in tar format otherwise:

Code:

# chmod 644 /system/app/*
# chmod 644 /system/framework/*

dalvik cache will be about 20MB larger and it should be wiped

Code:

# busybox rm /data/dalvik-cache/*
# exit
$ exit
$ adb reboot

It will take a bit longer on the first boot while the cache rebuilds
For anyone that doesn't know deodexing is only useful for creating a ROM/theme.

After any theming of the apps permissions will have to be set and keep the official stock ROM in hand in case of a bootloop.

Code:

# chmod 644 /system/app/apk_package
or
# chmod 644 /system/framework/jar_package

I've been running this for a few days and have had no issues at all.
Using this method we can start building some ROMS. I would suggest using tar and maybe include a small script to flash it.
Let me know if anyone wants a full ROM package as this is only the apps and framework.

[edit] As it turns out MusicA does not work at all, it doesn't even show up in the app drawer. Some guy named Jeff Lee compiled some of the framework wrong. com.acer.android.clearfilib_tablet.jar/C:/Users/Jeff_lee/Desktop/_acer/Jeff/clearfilib_tablet.java will not work. It should be a classes.dex file in the jar archive. Oh well it looks like its fixed in ICS.

Here's Deodex ICS, everything deodexed without issues. But without root this will be useless. [edit] We now have root so this will be very useful

I was meaning to do this for a few days now and I am glad to see it works.

Did you do some more testing to see how it is, performance-wise?

Nothing more than opening the stock apps and using it as I normally do. Just ran linpack, it got the same result as before deodexing. It really shouldn't run any better or worse. Though odex is supposed to be faster than using the dex format. It's also zipaligned so that can also speed things up a bit to compensate.

Probably but be prepared for a lot of force closings. I suggest you immediately end it with reboot ex: # busybox tar x.... ; reboot
and don't use stop, the screen will go black. Good Luck
