[GUIDE]How to DEODEX Apps Using ONLY Android Phone.

gusato said:

I have pushed the apk many timed to system/app/ and set permsn to rw-w-w and even rw-r-r too but didn't work. The apk is from 4.3 JB stock ROM and i m applying it on 4.3 only as Bali bro's E2 is base on 4.3JB. And, if i am not wrong, Balli bro's E2 ROM is deodex and i m trying to push an apk with/without odex file from stock rom to its system/app/. is it possible..? if so in either way than pls point me to the direction. I have tried android apktool, Xultimate and Cygwin-with-Packages___Kitchen to deodex the apk but didn't succeed. Pls find the email apk with .odex file in the attacment.zip

iv done some research - the email app should be set to api level 16 in order to deodex it - I'll have a quick look else you will have to deodex it yourself if it fails on mine as I may need all the framework and im not downloading all the that considering this is the galaxy y 5360 forum but I have one attempt this time

unable to deodex - your phone model is probably not supported for deodexing without additional work which im not doing as I dont have your device and this is the wrong forum for support

I suggest downloading and installing an already deodexed copy of the email app for example from a copy of cyanogen mod 10 or 11

Though its not the right forum, however you have tried to solve my problem. Thank you for your try, i have also tried to deodex it but no luck. As you said that the email app needs to be set to API level 16 and i don't know how to do. I have android sdk and eclipse installed on my pc, just need a tutorial to use it. I'll be very nice if you can show or point me to the right direction as you have already done so much.

You can save a lot of time by never messaging with original apk/jar period until you're finished creating a dex file. There's no need to move the Ali source into a /small directory in the decomposed apk/jar. Just click the source folders and choose compile and it will create a dex file for you. Rename that to classes.dex and do this at a command prompt (so we don't need up having to decompress the apk/jar)


This process skips having to decompile any of the archives which tend to be quite large compared to the source in the odex

error

When I try to recompile, I get this

Good guide....

@marcussmith2626

Trying to use your tool, but keep getting permission denied. The pop-up window closes to quickly to see any other details and logcat is not helpful. I tried with both -armhf and -armel versions. Same problem. I'm on GT-I9195 with JB4.2.2 SE. Another SEAndroid problem?

Please post how to use commands manually from shell, so that we can debug.

I follow your instruction but this what always show when I recompile system ui

Where can I get the SystemUI.odex file?

OK so I think I followed the instructions to a tee but when I try to import the framework-res.apk I get this. sh:/data/data/per.pay.apktool/mydata/apktool.sh: No such file or directory

I am not able to decompile odex of non stock rom apps

Does this method work?

yes

How to deodex framework?

Importing framework gave this...
