[Q] Can someone tell me how to Deodex my phone?

---

Hey guys,

First of all I wanna say how frustrated I am with how slow the development of themes and roms is going. I'm so anxious to unleash the BEAST inside of the Fascinate. It's an amazing phone with so much potential, but it just needs a few things. I had an Incredible since it came out, and the options were endless with roms/themes/kernels, you name it. Nevertheless, I won't complain because I'm not a dev and I have so much respect for those guys.

Anyway, I'm really looking to port over some themes from a few other different phones. However, from what I understand my phone needs to be deodexed. Can someone tell me how to go about doing this? Any help would be great!

I believe you soak it thoroughly in white vinegar for a few hours, then let it dry and you should be good.

Hmmm, really now?

If you're that anxious, quit your job and start developing fascinate ROMs full time.

I'm sure these guys are doing their best, and it's only been a few weeks.

We have root and clockwork so far, the rest will be coming soon.

Wow, I love how quickly the flaming starts. I stated in my first post about how I appreciate everything the devs are doing, I'm just anxious that's all. I thought by asking a question like this I'd get some productive feedback from someone so that I could start theming my phone. But apparently that's not the case.

So does anyone want to help or does everyone just want to flame me?

Thanks

You guys flaming must be really bored. Of all the posts that deserve a jab, his seemed pretty innocuous.

Anyway, I have deodexed other android phones (Incredible, Droid X) and the manual process was, if not brutal, at least time consuming and buggy. Better to just wait for one of those developers you were good naturedly poking for some advice to release a pre-deodexed zip.

Hey, no need for flaming anyone. We understand that the process is moving slowly. We just have other things that we want to get finished first. There are a few people just trying to get the kernel to boot from the source samsung posted. There has already been some breakthroughs, wifi and sound is what they are working on now.

As for roms, fallingup posted a semi-clean rom. It's not deodexed, but it gets rid of alot of the bloatware.

Matt4542 is trying to get his running and it is deodexed, he is also trying to find a phone lol.....

I posted a mod to get your lockscreen back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791089

We pretty much all work other places, so no one is fully giving their time. This weekend i'm sure we will have some more progress. So just go out and enjoy your weekend and when you come back on monday hopefully there will be some new stuff.

Edit : feel free to join the #samsung-fascinate irc chat room on freenode, its the best place to keep up with the movement.

Thanks so much guys for the info. I wouldn't call myself a newbie when it comes to this stuff but I don't think I'm ready to take on this project alone.

So I'll just wait patiently like I have been and try theming some other ways. Thanks for posting the manup theme and the stock lock screen. Those lookpretty good. I can't wait for a good aosp rom!

THIS is the guide that I found the other day, however I've been working 12+hr days all week so I haven't given it a go yet, but I should have time Sunday if you are nervous.

Just found this

Didn't know about the lock screen mod, many thanks!
