Default [HOW-TO] Manually deodex your phone.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE!

You must be rooted!


Credit for
Webst3r on alldroid for posting this.

This is a guide on manually deodexing, you phone. (Duh!)

The reason I am making this tutorial is because I could not get my theme to work with Teenfaces deodexed android. You may want to follows this if you have the same probalem as me, or if you just want to take a shot at doing it.

What you'll need:
A Windows based machine
xUltimate v2.2
Patience

Process:
  1. Unzip xUltimate v2.2, and launch "Main.exe"
  2. If everything goes well you xUlt should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.
  3. Run option 1. After option 1 is done, run option 2.
  4. Now these well take a while. Run option 3.
  5. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "guava.odex". It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process.
  6. Now run option 4, and wait.
  7. Exit xUltimate, and put the phone in USB mass storage.
  8. Go back into the xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the sdcard.
  9. Open a command prompt, and do the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
Your phone should now be deodexed!

You may notice an increase in speed, and you now have the ability to edit certain files for effectively. (i.e. services.jar)

Credits:
Rainabba and Mike919: For initially working with me to get a white clock, and later deodex.
toxman: For testing, and being a huge risk taker.
teenfaces: For letting me use his services.jar
And especially Xeudoxus: For letting me a guinea pig, for xUltimate, and answering my questions. And also for the making the xUltimate tool. It defiantly makes thing easier.

I did some looking around and really couldn't find much, what are the advantages to deodexing the phone?

Yep... themeing is the big thing. I used the other method of doing this that I released earlier. The one where you use Koush's bootstrap loader to recover a nand that is Froyo 2.2 rooted and deodexed already. Just simpler.

I'm with you man this is like when I got my C64 all over again. I learned everything I could about that little 1mhz box and learned to code for it in every language I found. (I love assembler).You could say that little computer lead me to my current profession, AS400 administrator, and this thing has me all hyped up to learn just like I did back then. I'm thinking of learning to code for this thing. But I haven't coded in years and not sure I have the time to take it up again. But it has me thinking hard about it.

I did sbf, universalandroot, update, then deodexed using Koush's recovery. Everything done now, just restoring everything with mybackup pro. This stuff is starting to get really easy to me

Another stuck at motorola logo here... damn.

If it means anything, when I tried to do the commands:
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
the cmd prompt said:
cp: /sdcard/done_app/* No such file or directory
cp: /sdcard/done_frame/* No such file or directory

Good thing I can boot to stock recovery, select reboot system and the phone boots back into clockwork...

nandroid is HUGE at this point in the game

I got the same thing, was stuck at the Moto logo, then just booted into CMrecovery and loaded my backup. The easiest way to do it is just to flash the rooted, deodexed version that is floating around the forums.

Thanks, Jon. I found the Alldroid deodexed/rooted/froyoed thread and it worked beautifully for me. (And your link is broken.)

It failed the first time for me and said something about making sure my phone stays connected next time...ran it again without doing anything different and it worked perfect. All themed up now! Thanks!

I'm rooted on 2.2, everything goes fine, i enter all the commands at cmd but when I'm at the last line, I enter "mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system" and it says, "Device or resource busy".

Anyone know what to do? I got this message one time already today and it resulted in a boot loop, don't really want to have to deal with that again. What do I do?

My phone is in USB Mass Storage mode, I followed all directions exactly...

Just tried this, getting the same message. Anyone have any ideas? I can't figure out why this works for everyone but me. This is my third attempt, and of course each attempt after Nandroid takes near an hour...

Right now I'm in that Windows Sync mode or whatever it's called, the 2nd option down, got through the whole process, I'm on the last mount step and it's saying "Device or resource busy".

If no ideas how to make it work, any idea how I can exit this process without going into bootloop? It takes forever to restore from Nandroid EVERY time I try this...

Dude... I'm lost on why this doesn't work for you... just do the nandroid img of the already deodexed file Droid-X Clockwork Recovery image. Deodexed Rooted, Froyo'd
And do an advanced restore and do system only.

to me this is the easiest way and fastest way to do this, i tried the manual way 3 times and all times the phone locks up and have to do a restore...

Thank you so much.

Went through the guide and everything worked on the first try.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but what are some possible themes I can put on here now?

Did you find your answer?

You have to be in the jar folder with your command line. Your cmd line should look something like c:\Downloads\xultimate-v2.2.2\jar>

As mentioned before the easiest way to do this is to boot the phone into recovery mode using Rom Manager after you get done with xUltimate. Then mount system and sdcard. Then run the commands and all will be fine.
