I know that .odex
files are optimized .dex files.
I have seen a lot of .odex
files below the path /system
on my phone. I am just curious if there are also .odex
files for my installed apps.
I searched the file system but I wasn't able to find .odex
files for my installed apps. But I assume that they exist - the question is just where they are stored.
BTW: My phone is a rooted Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.1.2
.odex
files make the app launch faster (on system boot). Therefore they are only applicable for System-installed apps, not regular apps from the Play Store.
