[Q] Need to manually DeOdex?

[eli.kennedy]

N00b here...

I'm on Prime! v 1.5
I've been trawling old posts trying to understand things better and today I've learned what deOdex means and the benefits to modders.

The Prime 1.5 ROM is fully Deodexed at the time you flash it.
Over time as I install new APKs I assume that those new APKs are odexed on install? Will this give me trouble down the line if I install themes etc?

Is a periodic manual deodex necessary/advisable?

Deodexing is only useful for apks you are going to directly mod so no reason to deodex after the fact apks.

Thanks for that. I appreciate the information.

I am a Noob but I'm learning and I figure the better I understand the OS the more fun I'm going to have with my toys (HD2 and TF)
