What Is It?
Aroma App Package Creator is an application for those who flash new rom's often and want an easy way to create a flashable zip to reinstall apps. This utilizes Aroma Installer for more customization, allowing you to choose which apps to be installed instead of installing all of them. I made this tool for myself after seeing strawmetal's Flashaholic Essential Packs and wanted a way to produce the same results without editing multiple config files for each "pack" I make. I hope everyone else will find it useful as well ​

Q&A
Q: How will updates be distributed?
A: Every time you run Aroma App Package Creator it checks the server for an update. If there is a new version it will be downloaded automatically.
Q: Everything seems to work, but when I reboot none of the apps have been installed. What's going on?
A: Try downloading a zip that utilizes Aroma Installer for your device (such as a rom or theme) and pull the update-binary-installer from it and put it into the zip created with the Aroma App Package Creator.
Q: The above didn't work...Now What?
A: Sign the zip and try again. You can find information on how to do so on google, or use this application: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/tool-to-auto-sign-multiple-apks-and-zips/​
Please post any bugs/errors so they can be fixed

I will test, today.
RB v2.3 selfmodded - 100% Supercharged!

testing tomorrow!thanks!

looks good ..i will test it now

This is sick. I love it, works great on gs3.

After selecting the apps .the apps dont install
simply it says installing Apps but none of the apps get installed.
Help me out

Nice tool... :good:
Some feature suggestion:
Select Theme
Checkbox to delete dalvic + cache (not all app require this)

Okay, so this is giving me a flashable zip that installs apps at /data/app. What about /system?
And files other than apk files will be awesome.
Thanks for your good work.

This looks very cool
Will it work on a rooted phone with stock recovery (In my case SGS2) or just CWM?

Crappy resolution, but here's how it works on an S3
For the S3 you need to use the "Yes/alternate" method for the touch calibration... also the colors are totally off but it's still readable and usable. Just has a blue tint to it lol.
Or just use my values:
Code:
119490.00, 2030.00, -619140.00, -840.00, 116060.00, 228210.00, 117939.75, 20
This is on the Rogers I747M S3. (Should be the same for AT&T).

Just wondering... The calibration makes the zip flashable only for the model being calibrated, right?

That's right. It's so the touch screen coordinates line up etc.
I kinda wish there was an option for text based only where it would just install all the APKs that you put in the zip. I don't need the fancy UI, I just want to flash the zip, have them installed and done.

Thanks Man ,I Used Strawmetal's Flashaholic Essential Packs and It Took a lot of Time (about 100 apps) so this will save time as hell
Much Respect
PS : for guys having trouble with Calibration ,you can use Volume up\down and Select in CWR and Aroma instead of touch ,Works for me ,Xperia Mini Pro SK17i

I created this because there is one floating around here on the forums that is actually a fake jellybean inverted apps flashable .zip this one is completely real. I compiled this file myself and contains the latest G apps and inverted jellybean apps. This should work on all devices but use at your own risk. This is for CM 10 and AOKP JB only.
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible if you do not read this OP and break your phone. If your significant other leaves you because you become more addicted to your phone. If you wake up one day as a black and white speckled jellybean.
I present to you....JustinBean Aroma JB
Directions:
I recommend a full wipe but only if its your first time using JustinBean Aroma.
Install the jellybean ROM of your choice
Open up the JustinBean aroma file within cwm.
Wipe Cache within the JustinBean aroma application. (If you are using a new kernel select option three wipe cache and kernel)
Install what you want
Finish running installer then you have the option to reboot or go back to clockwork mod.
Installer will wait 30 sec before rebooting this is to ensure that everything is installed fully.
Enjoy and please don't forget to use the thank you button.
This is a custom installer that will allow you the user to choose which converted applications you would like to install. The choice now is completely up to you you can pick one to all none it's completely your choice. This is a completely touch process where you touch the screen to choose which you would like to install. You can install the latest launchers you can also install app add-ons such as ES file explorer.
Note:
If you are experiencing touch screen issues please use your volume up and down keys as well as the power button to select your options. Since this is a universal app there is only so much one can do to make it universal for all. You may also press your menu button when inside of the installer for a touch screen config for the app (though this feature is still not guaranteed to work). You will be able to launch my file manager directly from the application while inside clockwork mod this is for advanced users only.
Please do not post my download link or app without prior consent from me

[PC-APP] SGN3 Mod Tool

DOES IT WORK? I am yet to receive my SGN3, so I haven't been able to test.
I made this tool originally for SonyEricsson Xperia X10, but have now modified it to work for our Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I hope it will make life a little easier when modifying files on the device. It uses ADB to pull and push files, change file permissions and much more - so users don't need to remember long command prompt/terminal emulator commands! It also has a nifty little application manager, which allows for quick installation, backup, and removal of both pre and self -installed software. It has a LogCat function to read and save logs on the go when investigating errors, as well as functionality to decompile/recompile APK, JAR and ODEX files, sign and zipalign APKs, and decompile System images. Finally, straight ADB shell access is integrated.

}
Instructions:
1. Download.
2. Extract archive.
3. * Install LinuxReader to GalaxyS3ModTool\tools\LinuxReader.
4. Run SGN3ModTool.jar!
*This step is only needed for the Decompile System function in the ROM Manager.
Note: Make sure your phone is connected in debug mode, you have root privileges, and unsecured your device's shell. The application will try to unsecure your shell if you haven't already, but worst case scenario you might have to do this manually.
Also, the manage ROMs functionality is still experimental, and the Recompile System function is disabled. If you know how these processes can be automated, let me know and I will incorporate the functionality.
If you have problems, let me know and I will try to sort them out with you. Keep in mind that often when a modification goes wrong, you can simply push back the original files and reboot. So keep backups handy!

Reserved in case of future expansion.

Very interesting, will test when i get back home. Thanks!

Sound good mate. I'll give it a go I reckon

Wow sounds awesome thank you very much

Does it backup app data as well? This looks very promising. As it is java based, would it work on other platforms?

It is telling me the device is offline. For example.. Roboot, Refresh Content, etc.. do not nothing.
Make Dir says "Directory Created" but does this...
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb shell mkdir "/test"
error: device offline

you have to allow ADB to acces your device..
when you try to do anything with ADB, look at your phone screen, it will give you a popup that will enable you to 'allow ADB connections'

I watched my screen. I got no popups other than the original "usb connected" popup when I plugged in the usb cable.
Edit: Deleted the app. No Support from Dev.

this actually does work!
if somone still wants to use it for whatever reason you can:
get a kernel that is not SElinux enforcing (permissive).*
get adb insecure by chainfire and switch to insecure mode.
be sure that in the app it says:
Binary: Insecure
USB debugging: Enabled
should work, at least for me it did.
not sure if every custom kernel(permissive) works.
*lastest wanam exposed module has an experimental feature to set the selinux to permissive.
i havent tried it but maybe you can do the above with stock kernel and just setting permissive mode in wanam.
edit: does not work with stock kernel, at least for me.
i have not tested every function of this tool but connecting, pushing, pulling and so on work.
there are other tools that can do that, i wrote this just for information.

works well here! well done

cant get it to work on mac

thanks MrRusch for your great work!
I am a newbie about these stuff so forgive me if these are questions are stupid~
I was trying to use it to deodex the SamsungChineseIME apk and I got 2 questions want to ask.
1. when it asks for "Install Framework?", I choose the framework-res.apk extracted from my rom. But I also notice there is a twframeworkres.apk in the rom, do I need to include that also?
2. I came to a prompt asking me for "Select framework directory to reference" (as attached screen), I was hold back since I don't know what to choose for this.
Thank you again for your effort and this great tool!

Root Voice Xtreme x5 (MTK6592)

I got Voice Xtreme x5, last night for the new cheap price. However, I did not find a guide for new users to root it. I spent some time on trying various tools and got one working.
This procedure works for me but I cannot guarantee that It will work for you and not brick your device. My device is running updated android KitKat (new device) with following info (extracted using MtkDroidTools v2.5.3):
Hardware : MT6592
Model : Xtreme X5
Build number : Xtreme_X5_V4.0
Build date UTC : 20141007-101058
Android v : 4.4.2
Baseband v: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V34.P3, 2014/10/07 18:01
Kernel v : 3.4.67 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.7 (GCC) ) #1 SMP Tue Oct 7 18:06:53 CST 2014

Steps
1. Download iRoot (formerly vRoot).
2. Run iRoot, First time it will update its supported devices list.

}
3. Start Rooting using iRoot. It will take a while installing its software on the android device and connecting it.
4. If rooting is successfully completed, you will see:
5. In the phone you will find two new apps (see below figure), the left one could be uninstalled easily. However the right one is in System memory. You can either keep it or delete it. If you keep the apps the permission prompts will be in Chinese.
6. Install SuperSU and run it. It will ask you to update binary, do it. When SuperSU will try to update the binary, the existing Chinese version of the SuperSU will ask for permission multiple times (in Chinese), click right button to allow every time.
7. Restart device, disable the Chinese app or uninstall (with a system uninstaller like SystemCleanup).
8. Have fun with the rooting device. You can verify the root by using an app like Root Checker.
I am not sure, I go for developing a CWM recovery. But, I certainly have no plans for developing a custom ROM.

Prerequisites
- Device with unlocked bootloader, with TWRP Recovery and Root
Steps
1) Download here
http://www103.zippyshare.com/v/sS8EF2Cm/file.html
the Xposed framework compatible with Zenfone 3
2) Download here
http://www55.zippyshare.com/v/YWm75uNz/file.html...
the apk of Xposed app that is need that you install immediately
3) After that, flash the Xposed framework by TWRP recovery and restart the device
4) When restart the phone, go into the Xposed app, then Downloads section and research the module named "Flat Style Bar Indicators". Install it, activate it with the check mark in the Modules section and restart the Zenfone. On restart, launch this application and buy the pro version, then go through a file manager in the path data/com.bocharov.xposed.fsbi/backups (create it if don't exists), and paste in it this file
http://www44.zippyshare.com/v/pWWyLwNo/file.html
5) Go back in Flat Style app and select a restore from backup using the previous file added.
Magically you will see the status bar change from the original (and characterized by very old style) of ZenUI to that of material design !!!
Now we must add the soft touch buttons in material style (colored ones available on the latest version of Android, namely 7.0 Nougat)
To do this
1) Install the apk of Root Explorer version 4.0.2 at this link
http://it.apkhere.com/app/com.speeds...e.rootexplorer
2) Open Root Explorer, go in the system folder and open the build.prop file with the text editor; search the string called
# [ASUS BSP] Nancy - ZE552KL default disable touch navbar
persist.asus.enable_navbar = 0
qcom.hw.aac.encoder = true
and change the value from 0 to 1; then save appropriately the modified file.
4) Now you need to give the right permissions to the file; just keep pressing on the file, then up, about the options that will appear on the file, click on the three vertical dots and then Permissions. You have to set it up as follows
5) Reboot your phone and you should find the soft touch buttons but those of ZenUI; don't worry and go in the Xposed app and from the Download section search the module named "Nougat Navigation Bar"; install and then activate it with the check mark from the Section Modules, then again restart the device.
Then finally you should also find the soft touch keys in Material style !!!
If you want, in addition, also disable the physical home hardware keys follow this simple step
Go into Downloads section of Xposed app and research the module named "Xposed Additions". Install it, activate it with the check mark in the Modules section and restart the Zenfone. On restart, launch this application and go in Buttons section; Here click on "Add new Key" and, when you see the screen popup, click on any of the three hardware keys and then confirm with ok. Now go into the rule that you have created (that will bring the name of the button that you have pressed) and click on "Add New Condition"; Click on "Screen On" and then, in subrule that appears, put the check mark on the options "Click" and "Long Press". Repeat the same thing for the state "Screen Off" and "Lock Screen" always clicking on "Add new condition". Now you must only repeat the whole procedure again for the other two hardware buttons on the home and you you will have disabled all of them!

Sorry OOT, ehat is the font name on the screenshoot above ?
