Hmm, doesn't the system generate a .dex file when you run an app without one? – Matthew Read Dec 1 '12 at 21:33
It doesnt install itself! So i dont reach the run state at all! – Nirmik Dec 2 '12 at 16:55
Oh I see, you have to deodex. I haven't done it but here's a starting point: code.google.com/p/smali/wiki/DeodexInstructions – Matthew Read Dec 2 '12 at 17:09
