I am coming from the G900T. On that device I was running XtreStoLite, which is a really light TW with an Aroma package to add and delete features and stock apps. The Samsung keyboard in that was way better than "normal" stock keyboard because it had emojis and a few other little features.
The question is this. If we make a TWRP backup and exclude the cache, is that backup viable? If so would it hurt anything to try and flash that Aroma package and just install the keyboard.?

Didn't see this yet so if its out already then my bad for new post.
Rom cleaner will install apps backed up with Rom cleaner backup tool. These tools look like they r for sense Roms. I'm not looking for aosp only but something for the flash-happy fools like me (i know ur out there ) who flash between sense and aosp..
Looking to back up non sense apps that work on aosp and sense. Like titanium backup but flashed through cwm to install apps before 1st boot to avoid most of the google acct. Downloads on setup. This way little data is used and google stays sync'd between sense Roms and aosp.
I think this is doable..
Pls thx..
You can use ROM Cleaner tools even on no-sense ROMs.
If you wish to not delete anything just create an empty text file called romcleaner_user.txt put it in /sdcard/ROMCleaner and ROM Cleaner won't delete anything, it will only restore all apps located in /sdcard/ROMCleaner/firstboot/data/app/
Use backup tool to backup all your apps first.
Then flash ROM Cleaner.
More info can be found in my ROM Cleaner thread.

Hi guys, been using this great phone.for.2 months already. Used a couple of roms in the past but returned to rooted, locked bootloader stock rom with the latest update. I just had a question is it possible to make the settings menu white witout being deodexed? Or at least without modification of system files. Please.note I do not have any sort of recovery installed. Just rooted so I can use greenify and Uninstal bloatware. I really like the white menu, been searching and only foind it in custom.roms. anyway I can do that on stock? thanks in advance. I've decided to.use.stock as I could.find lots.of.bugs.on the.custom roms. Aand.I really like the stock ui. ANY advice?
Hey mate, sorry to inform you but I think you have to deodex. However I think there is another way, I understand you prefer clean stock rom, I can't unlock my bootloader and it is indeed the fastest rom do the following, search on the themes and apps for Honami white settings and you will find a port that even has cpu control.
Go to your apps folder (use root Explorer); delete your settings and settings.odex, and now copy the files you downloaded from the port and copy them with correct permissions. Then reboot and I think you are all done. Also search for an app or way do delete your cache, including dalvik so you avoid errors. I'm thinking about doing this myself so try it and tell me if something went wrong so I can help
As many of us know the apps that can be debloated from a typical Samsung rom using Titanium Backup. It has been a common practice so far. On recent stock Lollipop stock rom it has been experienced that debloating is causing fcs even crash sometimes. I had a crash on stock Lollipop after debloating from Titanium and cleaning cache from recovery to remove residue. However on latest custom rom by dr.ketan rom 15. I have been able to remove them easily. I request the members to share their opinions here regarding the methods of debloating. It is going to take time for developers to deodexing and making mods. Meanwhile I suggest to find ways of easy debloating..
I flashed the leaked rom and debloated myself with titanum and everything look fine.. not bugs or fc
I debloat manually, as i isolate what i use and not. I strictly use ES File Explorer, with write permissions in /system. All it requires is knowing well what is inside /system/app and /system/priv-app
So here are my limitations.
I have a Samsung S5 but it's the Straight Talk branded version, the SM-903VL. The issue with this S5 is the bootloader is locked so to root the phone you need to downgrade to 4.4 test firmware, root the test firmware then take the cache.img and system.img from another S5 rom, the G900V's stock rom, then move that over and replace the test firmware's cache.img and system.img to get a functional and rootable and full featured operating system on the SM-903VL.
You can read more about it here if it helps you understand better what I'm talking about.
Well, once the G900V's stock rom is on the SM-903VL and it's rooted, you can install Safestrap and then run quite a few different roms through Safestrap!
What I'm wanting to do is take the applications from the extremely debloated stock rom installed on the 1st rom slot and move them to the original rom and not even have to use Safestrap.
So I want to take all the applications on ROM 2, which is slimmed down and extremely lean, and move them to ROM 1 while not just moving the apps from ROM 2, but discarding all the apps originally on ROM 1.
What would be an effective way to do that? I might just try to do it by hand one app at a time through Titanium Backup but there has to be a better way?
So I answered my own question. In case anyone looks up the phone model I have via Google search, they'll maybe find this thread and it'll inspire them to do a similar endeavor.
I used Titanium Backup Pro to back up all user apps, system apps and data while inside ROM 2.
I then moved that all to an external SD card.
Then I went through the process of setting up the phone by putting the phone back into it's stock form with the G900V stock rom. Those directions on how to do that are in the hyperlinked thread above.
Once the G900V ROM was rooted on the Straight Talk SM-903VL Samsung S5 as directed above in the aforementioned thread, I then used Titanium Backup Pro to ''restore'' the system apps, user apps and data onto the Stock G900V rom.
Then, with all the apps from the extremely debloated rom installed now onto the phone, I proceed to adjust the filters to only show apps not backed up. That allowed me to see ALL the apps I needed to remove while keeping all the apps I needed to have a functional rom.
I then used Titanium Backup Pro to uninstall everything that wasn't backed up. From there I had an extremely debloated stock ROM that someone else had created for the G900V (that was impossible to flash since the SM-903VL's bootloader is locked down tight)
