If you're looking to modify or optimize your Android apks (especially framework and system apks) when porting or building a custom ROM then you would want to first Deodex them.

What is Deodexing

Deodexing is repackaging your apk files from apk + .odex parts into one single apk (classes.dex) thereby combining all into one part. Deodexing protects you from running into a conflict with the odex when modifying your apk files

Requirement

Download Java Development Kit @ http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/j...33151.html and install on the PC
Download IOIO Deodexer @ https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24457741883933243 and extract it
Copy the app, framework and priv-app folder into a folder of your choice (this guide uses IOIODeOdexer/UserFiles/WorkArea)

Steps to deodex an Android apk

Right-click IOIODeOdexer.exe and run as Administrator
You should now be in the IOIO DeOdexer dashboard
Click on Browse
Select the parent folder where you have your app, framework and priv-app folders then click OK
You should now see the file path displayed. Click Deodex
Wait while the tool begins deodexing
The progress bar should begin loading. Just sit back and let the tool Deodex
Once the tool is done, you should see a Deodexing Completed message
Go back to the folder to get your deodexed apks

Important Notice

Its important you deodex an apk before attempting to modify or export it because the apk is incomplete without the odex
Ensure to backup all odexed apks (including their odex files) before replacing with the deodexed versions just in case deodexing bricks the device
Partial deodexing tends to brick some devices so ensure to check all folder in the /system for odexes and deodex them too
