http://android.stackexchange.com/questions...d-deodexed-roms

A .dex file is basically a compiled bytecode version of an app that has been built for the Dalvik VM which Android's apps run on. I believe it is short for Dalvik Executable, but I'm not sure if I'm remembering that correctly.

An .odex file is an Optimized .dex file (hence the 'o'), meaning that it has basically been pre-compiled for a specific platform. The advantage to this is that startup time is much faster since the VM doesn't have to perform any optimizing at startup/runtime. The disadvantages are 1) That it takes up some extra space and 2) An odexed app won't run properly if it's put onto another device, and it must have the associated .odex file to run at all.

ROMs are typically released in deodexed form because they can be themed and modified fairly easily, whereas theming/modifying an odexed ROM is basically impossible (at best things would crash like crazy). Some people also choose to release their ROMs in odexed versions for people who would prefer the performance gains.

Most of the stock ROMs I've seen are odexed, I assume because the carriers/manufacturers want the performance boost. They also don't have any kind of official theming methods, so they probably don't care if you can't change the colors of your status icons or your system text or whatnot. Plus they have the advantage of knowing what device they want their system to run on, so they can pre-compile the .odex files very easily, I imagine. As an added bonus, it makes it difficult to pull .apk files off of the device and share them with people.

I wait for official release 1st, see off those bugs and wait a bit more for custom official Samsung-based. CheckROM Evo 5?

but 1st impression, the notification area is kinda ugly with all the stock toggles. Clean would be better in terms of look like in the SuperNexus.

wow thanks for the explanation
at last deodex is better

you use supernexus?
ala copy paste bro, and highlight thinggy, too easy 

last time, now on FoxHound. It was good but somehow to avoid memory leakages, dev suggested to disable lock screen which for me, I needed it and some more, the pure JB lockscreen was beautiful and disabling it? nahh waiting for a more polished build. 

hmmmm one thing abt jellybean. it still have minor jerks for the UI smoothness. but when it's smooth, its really smooth.

and yes, it uses 1.4ghz alot. battery drain really fast, just playing around with the UI

Hopefully won't follow fugly design of s3. Total fail.

Shld follow HTC one series.

hey guys guess what
lol this is what KuLi posted in Galaxy Note 2 Thread commenting about the possible design of note 2

how about apps like tapatalk? got sangkut2?

minor sangkut2 randomly here n there

i dont use tapatalk... cant put lyn forum innit =.=
is it possible to lyn with it?

FoxHound is fast, and really the ROM is built in with plenty of customisation options which to me are great-add ons. Batery life is so so, not as great as CheckROM, but smoothness is about the same. You could customise on what to install (mods, scripts, themes, default launchers) while on the recovery as well lol. All in one. no wonder the ROM is 800MB+ 

just ignore "it"

kind of him to share his own personal taste and opinion regarding s3. 
trying to give a damn to what he think..... still trying

no yet support lyn, i use for arsenal mania, check, xda and many forum
so how about gaming performance?

on FoxHound, you could always install this one mod (forgot the name), which swap ur external to become the internal.  to undo this mod, just simply delete this one script, i forgot really. but my point is, seriously, they are all there. haha

dead trigger with THD enabled = lagggggggggggggggggggggg on s3

ok im going back to ICS. there are things i like, there are things i dont.

i like alot of new things sammy add, the jb features the buttery smoothness

dislike
random spikes, lag, crash here n there. somewhat feels unpolished and definitely not ready for prime time. glad sammy didnt release it like this xD can feel abit tension to use as daily driver, still feels unstable, nevertheless, its good to check out n explore!

yeah try install too but bootloop, hate that, why they dont use auto install through kitchen or something like that, nevermind, just wait JB now and reformat everything
