XDA user commandersafi has created a Nice GUI program, which allows you to simply select all APK files, and it will create the flashable AROMA zip for you.
Really useful when you are a Frequent Rom Changer!
Official Thread: goo.gl/GyJTt
Code:
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
How To Use:
1) Download the aroma-app-package-creator.jnlp file and run by double clicking it
You must have Java 6 or higher for the application
You will have to accept a security warning. This is normal for all applications using Java Web Start
2) Click the + button under the Group Names list to create a new group
3) Add an app to a group by selecting the desired group, then click the + under the Apps list
If you don't select an apk file then there will be an empty folder in the data folder of your created zip with the apk's name where you should place the .apk manually (NOTE: If you add the apk manually make sure to remove all spaces from the file name. If added by the application spaces are removed automatically)
5) Flash your zip like any other in recovery

Amazing, really!!

So i've tried this, and tbh, it's too much hassle to be really efficient if you only have a few apps that you use. (I'm using only 4 'non-standard) apps.
But if you have over 10 apps you want to keep each time you test out a new ROM, this is for you

As i said, this is for people who change ROMS frequently. and the point of it being an AROMA package is that you can choose what to install while flashing the zip!

Sorry bout the last one. This one is good now
Hello all,
I've thrown together an app-pack that includes apps that i see are necessary and important to have on my phone. I was getting very frustrated with constantly having to reinstall my apps after flashing a new rom on. So i decided to create a batch file that will allow you to install back all your apps very easily.
I know there are things such as ADB file explorer, but i think that this is a much simpler way of doing it. Its also very easy for me to add apps that you guys feel needs to be included.
Let me know what you guys think.
App list
1. Root booter
2. Set cpu
3. Move cache for root users
4. Swapper
5. WiFi teather
6. Google places
7. Tmo visual voicemail
8. Shop savvy
9. Shazamm
10. Movies
11. Free dictionary
12. Ad free
13. App Manager
14. Taskiller
15. aTrackdog
16. Biz Card Reader
17. Keep Screen Lite
18. Pure Calander Lite
Change log:
v1.1
-added ability to remove apps that you don't want installed on the phone
v1.2
-corrected app pack to follow xda rules
v1.3
-added 3 new apps
v1.4
-added bizcardreader, keep screen lite and pure calander lite
-replaced apps with new updated versions from market
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WKFMZH1Y
Can you post or PM me with the list of apps?
I just want to take this time to point out that apks are not tamper-proof. While I doubt mgorman went and modified any of the apps included in this pack, I wouldn't get in the habit of installing apps from unsafe sources. The only sources that should be considered safe are official Android Markets or the official website of an app.

How can they be tampered with? Like.turning them into a virus?
And what about the apks that devs include in their roms? Are you referring to them as well?

Everyone has to decide what their comfort level is in terms of accepting who they will trust an apk from, particularly root-enabled apps. These apps have the potential to do anything they please to the filesystem.
Google Experience Android phones are great because one can install apks from any source. That is one of the core requirements for open innovation, but its also a double edged sword. It's the user's burden to decide what is a safe source for apks. You wouldn't eat candy from a stranger, afterall, would you?
I see what you mean and I can assure anyone that is going to try this that I didn't mess with the apks and they're downloaded straight from the market

I just want to reiterate that in no way did I mean to imply that the linked zip file contains malware (but neither can I guarantee that it doesn't). Instead I was stating that it is bad security to install executable/interpreted code from unverified sources. Especially when one can just as easily grab the aforementioned apps themselves.
I would just like to point out that root booter is not recomended for any cyanogen rom. He has built a safer reboot and shutdown into his rom.
FYI the easiest way to reboot into recovery is to 'hold power' 'select reboot' 'hold in the home button until it reboots' There is no need to turn the phone all the way off and hold both buttons.

Thats why I made an option to remove apps from being installed.
Watch out for an update to the app-pack coming later tonight....
Want to add an application to the pack? Send me a PM and I'll put it in there
Just a thought
Is there a way this can be done so we can we can add the app(s) of our choice to customize the way we want it?

Yes you can. Any apps that you want installed you can place in the wanted-apps folder and when you run the batch any apk in the wanted-apps folder will be installed to your phone.
I will be adding some more options to the menu such as rebooting into recovery, rebooting into fastboot, etc. as well as more apps.
Hi! I found a way to make any Sense 3.6 skins work on Incredible S (4.0.4) and decided to share this with you guys
As you might know, most of the 3.6 skins on the Play Store and xda work only on 4.0.3 and NOT on stock and unrooted Incredible S. And the best part is that the solution I'll give you doesn't require root access or any superior developer skills I don't know if this is obvious for most of you but I hope someone will find some use for this tutorial.
All you need is:
-some existing skin that you can download from the Play Store or this Forum (just search for sense 3.6 skins)
-Virtuous Ten Studio ([search Google, can't post links sorry )
-com.htc.resources.apk from your phone (system/framework) and place it anywhere on your computer
1. After installing and opening the VTS you just have to go to File>Open Settings>Frameworks and add the framework (com.htc.resources.apk). Name it for example "skin". Then Import and OK.
2. Then on VTS selecet File>New Project>Apk-Project and choose a name for project and solution and location where you wanna save it. Then from the left select Import and find the apk of the skin you have downloaded. After that select Apk-Tool and select the framework (the one you named "skin" in step 1.) Then go to M10-Engine and check the box (probably not necessary). Select OK and it starts to decompile the apk.
3. Double click the AndroidManifest.xml in the Solution Explorer. Now the most important part: change the android:versionCode=xyz to 282066944 so that it is "android:versionCode=282066944". Now click the little x on the androidmanifest.xml tab and save changes.
4. Right click your project and choose Reload Project just to make sure your changes are applied.
5. Right click your project and choose Build apk. It automatically recompiles and signs your apk (easy huh?).
6. Click Binary in the Home tab and select your project. It opens up the folder where your new apk is located. Take that apk and move it to your phone and install. The skin should now show up on the skin chooser (Settings/Personalize/Skin). THAT'S IT!
There you go, hope this solution works for you too and you find this tutorial helpful And it's really easy guys, so don't worry if your not a developer (I'm not in any way). Now enjoy your new, fabulous skins on your Incredible S!! :victory:
That's kind of the hard way to do this and you can run into signature issues depending on how the developer signed the file.. Yes the issue with skins from one phone to another with the same version of sense is the Android code listed in the manifest..this is also the reason why we can't post a update to a skin, but instead have to post any new as a whole new app... Most of us with skins in the market try to keep multiple versions of the apps uploaded in play to accommodate all phones..but is a lot of work.. Your phone and the thunderbolt share and have shared before the ICS update the same version code..I'm currently working on a new collection of skins for play that will be including versions for your phone..so within the next few days, there will be options for you without messing with the manifest and risking messing something up that may not know about

FX File Explorer non-root. I did not say WRITE, I said READ/COPY from. Also, you can be less jerky about it or have actually read the post.

You could also be less jerky in the fact that:
1. You could have introduced said explorer because I have personally never heard of it and have used ES File Explorer or Root Explorer (which in my opinion is just much cleaner in everything)
2. Are you perfect? Because last time I checked, no 1 person on XDA has had a clean perfect record of not accidentally saying something false and that goes for real-life too.

1) I'm not being jerky, you rolled your eyes at my statement which was rude. You could've asked "is that possible?"
2) It doesn't matter if it's a file explorer, browser, whatever, as long as you're not writing to non-user space you don't need root. ANY app that can read the sd card can read /system
3) Who said anything about being perfect? I made a very clear statement that was misconstrued. I didn't persecute you over it.
4) This is XDA Developers, not XDA Debators. If you want to argue, that's what PM is for.
Had some free time recently so finally got round to opening my OYUA and having a looksy.
ROMCleaner 3.5 works splendid with CWM and OUYA.
Why use it with the OUYA?
Its a fast and easy way to pre-install all your apps and games through a single zip flash in CWM.
No more sideloading Dropbox to download and install everytime you flash a new StockPlus or OTA, have them all ready and waiting for you upon the first boot of the ROM.
If your familiar with ROMCleaner on one of the many devices we ported it to, you'll feel right at home!
As certain design decisions were overlooked with the OUYA and it didt get the following it was expected, I didnt wont make a big deal aout the release but couldnt help playing about with to see what I could get working on it. It worked fine so here we are
Notes
More detaililed guides and instructions can be found in any of the device specific threads for ROMCleaner if you want to have a look at its features but for now Ill leave this little guide for us OUYA users.
I doubt there will be a Aroma version due to its reliance on touch input but will slowly be looking at going through the other individual tools we created before Patrics83 put the Aroma AIO toolkit together.
It starts at v3.5 as this was the last version before moving to Aroma and we kept that consistent across devices.
Any changes will only be visually to the updater-script and the default romcleaner.txt included in the zip as at its core, RC works. I will keep a dated chagelog for you though for any updates to the zip.
Basic Guide
Pre-Requisetes:ClockworkMod Recovery
On your on the root of /sdcard create a (case sensitive) folder structure as so:
Code:
/sdcard/ROMCleaner/FirstBoot/data/app/
/sdcard/ROMCleaner/FirstBoot/system/app/
Place any apks in these folders which you want installed after flashing in the relevent folders
After flashing the ROM, flash ROMCleaner 3.5.zip
Reboot as normal
First boot of the ROM will take extra time due to the apks being sorted by Android when its up and running you will find all the apps in the usual place all ready and waiting!
If you install another launcher I recommend loading OUYA Launcher first and following the setup (wifi, username etc) to get it all sorted before using your preferred launcher.
You can use RC to install other files such as bootanimation.zip (system/media/) as well and are not limited to just apks. I add TwitcyEye's KeyMap mod for example so the mapping is done with no copying files about.
It will set the correct permissions for all the files and folders so dont worry about that.
Cleaning
ROMCleaner has the ability to remove files from the system after the ROM has been flashed, but before first boot, using a text file in a simple user-friendly format.
The default list has not been optimized for OUYA and I have not got round to checking through it yet. I haven't noticed any thing important if it does but you have been warned Ill take a proper look when I get the time.
You have the ability to define a custom list for RC to use by creating a ROMCleaner_user.txt file in /sdcard/ROMCleaner/ and Ive attached a blank one with some detailed instructions on its layour and format. I recommend you use this file until I have time to cross reference the default list with the OUYA files to avoid anything being deleted.
All in all its an easy way to get your apps installed when flashing a ROM be it StockPlus or an official OTA. It requires no special access as its all done in recovery and uses its own busybox.
Anyway, Have a play and let me know how it works for you.
Like a lot of people on XDA I have very little free time these days due to my job and so-called life but will be keeping my eye on this thread and the OUYA in general
#probably for formatted guide
#just in case
Is ROMcleaner able to load any type of complete backups from Titanium Backup or Android Tuner? I'm sure the answer is on your site, but it is probably a question a lot of people will have.

Unfortunately thats a completely different thing. All this is done in recovery where as TB etc are app specific done while the OS is up and running.
RC installs (and can remove) the apps before the OS has loaded for the first time.
Android 4.4.3 - STOCK OS - DEBLOATED - 64bit
Hello everyone. Lets jump straight to the point. This here is a backup made with TWRP from the STOCK OS for the HTC Desire 510 64bit. The few plus sides are that is DEBLOATED and that it uses a kernel that has write protection removed. Just a side note: I am trying to make a flashable ZIP for this but I'm having issues. I always get boot loops. So for now this is your only option.
If you are familiar with TWRP and backups and all that stuff you can skip the next parts and download the ROM, If not, I advise you to read carefully the whole thread if you don't want to brick your device.

What is changed?
Not much is changed.
Bellow are the app replacments I made:
1. Sense Home ---> NOVA Launcher
2. Sense Messages ---> Google Messages (Material Design)
3. Sense Calculator ---> Xlythe Calculator (Material Design)
4. Sense Calendar ---> Google Calendar (Material Design)
5. Sense Clock ---> Google Clock (Material Design)
6. Sense File Manager ---> ES File Explorer
7. Sense Weather ---> AccuWeather
4. Sense Keyboard ---> Google Keyboard
I removed a lot of HTCs and Google’s useless apps and other things, that are taking up space and resources.
From Google apps you have left:
1. Google Play Store
2. Google Chrome
3. Google Play Games
4. Google Drive
4. YouTube
5. All other background apps and services that are required for the Google apps to function properly.
From HTC apps you have left:
1. Camera app
2. FM Radio
3. Gallery (I couldn't find a decent replacement)
4. Music
5. Photo Editor
6. LockScreen
I have removed the HTC Browser, Zoe, E-mail and other useless stuff from HTC.
I have included:
1. Clean Master Lite - It's much faster than the full blown app and gets the job done. Lots of people hate it but it works like a charm on this device.
2. DiskInfo - With this little app you can see all of the partitions on your device. Regardless if you are S-ON or S-OFF.
3. Glim Lite - A set of beautiful Material design icons for NOVA launcher.
I didn't include an E-mail app because the Play Store is full of them and I couldn't choose. This choice is up to you.
How to install it?
First of all you need an unlocked bootloader with a TWRP - custom recovery installed on your device.
To unlock your bootloader go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/development/bootloader-unlock-htc-desire-510-t2910233. Follow that tutorial to get your bootloader unlocked. After a successful unlocking you'll need a custom recovery.
Download this file: https://dl.twrp.me/a11ul/twrp-3.0.2-0-a11ul.img. This is the latest TWRP recovery for our device. Now we need to flash this file on the device:
Before starting put the contents of the ZIP file on to your SD card. And make sure that it has this folder structure:
Code:
--SD CARD
--TWRP
--BACKUPS
--Your device serial number (The name of this folder should be the serial number of your device otherwise TWRP won't see the backups in this folder)
--2016-04-17--13-49-21_KTU84L_release-keys (Don't change this, I don't know what will happen if you do)
1. Power off your device by pulling the battery out and putting it in again.
2. Press the Volume Down and Power Buttons until you see the HBOOT screen.
3. Press the Power button again to enter Fastboot mode.
4. Connect your phone with your PC using an USB cable.
5. Now open your terminal (I'm using Ubuntu but it's same in Windows as well) and type:
Code:
fastboot devices
This will show you an output like this:
Code:
--your devices serial number-- fastboot
If it doesn't show you an output like that then you probably didn't install the drivers correctly or you have a faulty USB cable.
If your output is the same as above than we can move on.
This command will flash the TWRP recovery on your device:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /full/path/to/the/recovery.img
Example:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /home/denny/Downloads/twrp-3.0.2-0-a11ul.img
Now you have TWRP on your device.
To boot TWRP press the Power button to go back to the HBOOT screen and navigate to the RECOVERY option with the volume keys and again press the Power button. After a few seconds you'll see your new recovery.
Restoring the backup
First we need to wipe any potential data that will cause conflicts with the new system.
1. Tap on "Wipe"
2. Tap on "Advanced Wipe"
3. Select all but leave the Micro SDCard option unchecked.
4. Swipe the slider to wipe the data.
After that is complete press on the house button on the lower end of the screen.
Now we are going to restore the backup:
1. Tap on the "Restore" button.
2. At the lower left corner tap on "Select Storage" button.
3. Choose "Micro SDCard" option and press OK.
4. Now you should see the backup folder. Open it.
5. Select "Boot" and "System" and swipe to start the restoring process.
6. Press "Reboot System" after the restoring has finished.
After you setup you system apply the Glim Lite icon pack to NOVA launcher.
Bellow are some screenshots of the new look.
Big thanks to:
@wolfaas12345 - for providing a tutorial on how to unlock your bootloader.
@rbheromax - for making a kernel with write protection removed.
@patrik.KT - for developing the TWRP recovery for our device.
If you are having any trouble ask a question on this thread or send me a private message.

BETA testers for OTA updates
I have managed to enable a function for our ROM to receive OTA updates directly from me. This will make updates more easy to be deployed and cuts down the time for me to upload the whole ROM and for you to download it and flash it. Be advised that this is for testing purposes only (for now). I don't know how much stable the ROM will be after receiving an update.
By flashing the ZIP file below you acknowledge that you are wiling to become a BETA tester and that you do this at your own risk.
Step 1.
You need to download the ZIP file below this post and flash it like any normal flashable ZIP.
The ZIP file contains a new app for OTA Updates, a new lib file for proper functioning of the app and an edited build.prop file. The build.prop file contains information to tell the app where to check if new updates are available, so please do not edit it yourself.
The app will say that there are no updates. That is not a bug, error or a glitch. Currently there are no updates. When an update is deployed the app will send you a notification.
Step 2.
Send an email to [email protected] to confirm that you have downloaded and flashed the ZIP file and that you are willing to be a BETA tester. Please use a valid email because I will be contacting you to share feedback about the new updates and discuss any issues you might have.
Reserved
Thanks a lot for the sharing!
I will definitely test it
BTW you say that you have problem - bootloop with the .zip, did you tried to flash boot.img manually after flashing of the .zip?
Also instead of gallery I use simply photos by google
Or there is also lightweight Gallery app by google (com.android.gallery3d). You will probably find it in GAPPS

Thanks for those tips. I will definitely take a look at the lightweight gallery.
I tried flashing the boot.img manually but nothing. I've got it to boot up just once but there was no wi-fi. That leads me to belive that the permissions in the updater-script are not set up properly but also could be something else. If you have experience with updater-script do you think that you could help me out?
Unfortunately I don't have any bigger experiences with updater-script
Few times I edited it, but never so big one like installing ROM...
Anyway can you sand me the zip? I will try to look, but I don't promise anything
hi,
thanks so much for this Debloate.:good:
Well done developer! Phone itself is 10x faster without the bloatware apps on! Thank you so much developer!
Thanks a lot for your sharing. I finally have a nice going device. Its the best solution currently for this phone.

would be nice to have HTC Sense UI and email app left and htc foto editor and gallery removed and replaced by Google Photos, I don't understand why stick to ES File Explorer which does have in app ads rather have native file explorer, also I don't understand why I need that clean tool when android is managing ram just fine in this version.
Sorry if that sound rude, language barrier
Keep up with good work.

No problem, any feedback is more than welcome. The Sense UI will remain, the theming I'm gonna make will only be on the icons and maybe the QuickSettings layout of the buttons, nothing too big to ruin the Sense feel. I might get back the e-mail app if I can't find a descent replacement for it. In the next update the HTC Gallery, alongside the Photo Editor will be replaced by Google Photos. Also the ES File Explorer, I'm gonna replace it with something that is adds free, simple to use but versatile. The Clean tool is not much for RAM as it is for Junk removal. Here is an example: Yesterday I was listening to some music on YouTube for about two hours. After that, I run the Junk Removal tool....It removed somewhere around 900Mb of useless data. You see how you can free up some space with it. I plan to keep it, but If I get negative feedback about it I will remove it.
Again thank you for your feedback.
E.g. Total Commander is simple and nice explorer without adds
BTW now when you have root, you can install "adblocker" app
deodex is not good for this device beacuse have small memory and charge it useless, odex files have sufficient space in system.

Thank you for your opinion. The main reason that I deodexed the ROM is to save up on the size of the actual download. I'm currently running the deodexed version on my phone and it works just fine. But still it will remain in BETA version unless I get positiv feedback about it.
Guys, I recall what I said, don't listen to me I'm a noob
Hi friends,
As we all know, sammy devices comes with lots of junks and bloats which hardly we use.
So, i was looking for a thread where i could find a way to debloat/remove excess system files from J7/6 but i was quite depressed when i found no link for my device. Although some nice techies have posted zip from other sources, i mean some debloater zips are directly posted here from s6 groups. And as we know that not all devices have same bloats or junks or having different names of same bloats.
That's why i tried to do some changes on a zip made by @TENN3R (Originally made by @ambasadii . Thanks both of you man) and finally come here with this work. Hope you'll love it.
Before flashing this zip, my device system part was showing 118mb space. After flashing zip modded by me, i got whopping 1.19gb free space in system.
All i can say is, your device system will have a great amount of space to breath which will surely show you result in battery life + performance (as per my experience I'm getting +15/20% battery life and performance is superb)
So, let's come to the point. There's attached zip, download it & move it to device internal storage/sdcard/usbotg. Reboot to recovery (your device must be rooted with TWRP recovery preinstalled). Flash this zip and wipe dalvik/cache. Reboot to system and you'll see that almost all junks is removed.
To know which apps it removes and if you want to keep some system apps, open zip, copy updater script on your pc, open updater script with notepad++, check all apps names one (takes hardly few minutes) and if you want to keep any app in system and don't want to remove it, just remove that whole line. For example, if you want to keep "GoogleContactsSyncAdapter", remove line contains that app name ? runs ("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter"); ? including semicolon same as shown here.
I suggest you to take backup of all apps (system/app & system/priv-app) so in case you want to restore any app, you can do it. It will remove some unwanted junk apps from csc folder also, (Yes it will remove bike mode too)
I have tested this zip few times on my device (SM-J710GN) and on one another device (SM-J710FN) and there's no any fc or issues. So i think it's worth trying.
But as we all say here, I'm not responsible if your device get bootloops, your wife hits you or your dog bites you for some reasons.
Do not forget to hit thanks button. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Good work bro
i did not succeeded with installation of this zip. TWRP just said that it failed.
Good work! I must try it out.
Excellent! Works like a charm! Thank you a lot. I've done a video guide (sub Eng). Hope this can be helpful.
can we use an script like this to restoring or adding new apps to the system?
(instead of -rm -mv to another folder and restoring with -cp )

Here is the original zip file attached.
You should edit the script according to your needs before flash.
Because it also remove sbrowser, nfcui,sbike etc. etc.

Lost Network
I lost my sim networks, both Sim 1 and Sim 2 after flashing the zip file. Bad part is, I didn't make a back up before doing the process.
Can't not open ' Setting '
I know this thread was old thread,but I'm just want to asking why my J7 2016 can't open setting after i flash the debloater?
