I heard of D'Odexing your phone......I know it's like a mirror file for lack of a better description needed to run things but I have heard combing the two makes for better perfrormance. If this is true.....how does it work and is there a "one click" way to do it......have had great success rooting and doing other things without using my PC. Thanks in advance.
Find a rom with de-odexed apks.
It's not really worth doing it yourself.

There's a deodexed rom in here somewhere.... I know a few of us were trying to port the Vibrant one over to the Captivate, but the creator of the Vibrant one did it for the Captivate. Just search in the Development section.
And btw, sturmeh, your avatar is amazing... hahaha

Google is a wonderful tool - it saves one from many misconceptions:
From Droid Forum
De-odex: Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.
In simple terms de-odexing lets you easily theme things - I have never seen it mentioned in discussions on performance.

It was difficult to get barcode scanner to read that.
EDIT: I don't know if you created that or not, but I totally just stole it and made it my profile picture on facebook (I didn't have one before). I'll have to look for an app that makes QR codes, that could be a lot of fun!
QuickMark from the Market makes QR codes.
With all the hype with the new 1.83 update just about over, I was wondering if someone would be able to help me out with something?
I have been searching around trying to find a way to get some of the Galaxy S LWP's to work on the Atrix. Particularly the Ocean Wave with the ripple effect. There are a bunch of apps on the Market by ProSama that are very similar but all claim not to work on the Atrix. Why is this?
For some reason these LWP's don't actually manage to load or for that manner get past the "Loading Live Wallpaper" screen.
From a bit of searching around it looks like possibly one of two things. Either the resolutions are all wrong or the Atrix is missing some library files to make things happen, maybe the "libmnglw-0.8.2.so". Possibly a combination of both plus root access. New to android so I have no idea which.
I have attached all I have and was wondering if someone might have the time to look through them and find out why they may not be working on the phone? The library files are in the zip folders if anyone wants to have a look.
Thanks for any and all help.
I've loaded the lib file as it is required for the wallpapers. You will get a Force Close without it.
No joy though.
I suspect it's an issue with the resolution. I'll have to wait until I get home to dig into one of the packages.
You looking for these from the S2? Just download and install like any other app. They are very nice but they are not quite long enough for landscape. http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/04/25/download-two-live-wallpapers-from-the-samsung-galaxy-s-ii/#

No issues installing those.

I really appreciate the help.
Ok... I see why they won't work.
First, the were written for Android 2.1 devices.
Second, the resolution is all wrong for the Atrix, they're hard coded for 800x480 screens.

<screen width="800" height="480" />

Kinda what i was thinking. I'll spend some time maybe trying to replace the image with something to test it out. Any thoughts on the library file? Possibly needing root and pushing the file to the correct system folder?

Yep.. you need root so you can push the .so file to system/lib
As for the LP, you'll need to do more than just replacing the images.
The whole rendering is coded to 800x600.
There are several java components that will have to be updated and at least one xml config.

I managed to get the lib file in the correct directory. Used gingerbreak and gladenable. Then root explorer.
Played around in the apk resized the image. But that's where it ends for me. I'm a noob when it comes to Java sdk and signing the apk for that matter. I really do appreciate the help thus far.
I guess no time like the present to learn something new.

i dont speak english well sorry
Well, I use ROM toolbox, but that's not really a tweak. I find it hard to really tweak the phone. Lot's of programs don't really work because of the screensize.
Hi all, i was wondering about the best touchpad app out there (for pc) , actually tried 2 of them, but, hey, there are many other apps out there and think, maybe I'll just ask your opinion

Hi Guys,
Looking for a clue here, because I clearly don't have one...
Obviously, moving from sense to something Sense Free (I've just switched to SinLess to be rid of BlinkFeed), is there any way to get some of the additional functionality of the device back?
The main think I'm looking for is the ability to use the IR blaster. I understand this was launched from the 'TV' app provided in Sense. Has anybody managed to break this out into an APK?
Alternatively, any thoughts/experiences with this, specifically with sense-free roms? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy2
It's an expensive app, and I'd prefer to only throw money at it in the event it'll actually work.

Need the IR libs which aren't available at the moment
Prompt reply, awesome!
Being a bit green to the idea of Android development, Are we unable to pinch these from the original firmware?
