[TUT] [TEMPLATE] Creating Optimus Black ROM with AROMA Installer

CAUTION! This AROMA tut and template is for ROM Devs and Cooks only.
I have been getting requests from my fellow devs for AROMA configurations for Optimus Black P 970.
I hope this will jump start all ROMs here to adopt AROMA.
So here it is for all ROM devs and ROM cooks who want to use AROMA in their ROM.
I attached the AROMA template to be used. This is compatible with our OB Black. This is from Marvel v 9. I tried to explain the aroma script one by one in order for it to be understandable to anyone.
Ofcouse, lets give credit to amarullz for this wonderfull AROMA installer made available to all android devs.
What you need:
1. PC / Mac.
2. Your ready ROM for building/cooking.
3. Notepad++
4. Your modified aroma script from my attached template script.
Steps:
1. Of course, download the attached file.
2. Extract the folder META-INF in any folder.
3. Go to your ready to cook ROM, go to META-INF\com\google\android\ and copy the updater-scipt and the update-binary files to any folder of your choice.
4. Rename the update-binary to update-binary-installer
5. Delete the folder META-INF folder in your ROM.
6. Copy the whole folder from step 2, to the root directory of your ROM.
7. Copy the 2 files from steps 3 and 4, to the folder META-INF\com\google\android\ from step 6.
8. Then, go to META-INF\com\google\android\ and open the aroma-config file using Notepad++
9. There you will find the aroma script that I specially made for OB Black, every script is explained that if you want to change it, you can.
10. Build/Cook your ROM.
11. Flash the .zip file in CWM Recovery.
12. Congratz to your first AROMA installer ROM.
Enjoy!

thank you very much!
good tutorial

Great contribution... You have saved me a lot of work when I decide to adopt AROMA on my stuff...
Regards!

We can discuss OB AROMA specifics here. Just post your questions and I will try to give answers.

As of the latest version. Audio playing is not supported. I can ask in the AROMA tread, if this can be supported in the future. This can be a good addition.

About that boot-animation, I see that it's not working on some device. I recommend that do not use that setting. Just restore your backup boot-animation. But if you are willing to change your boot-animation, just use this method.
-Search some boot animations on forum search then. . . download it, place it to your SD-card
-Use Es-Explorer or any Root explorers
-Set up into Up until root directory and Mount system as R/W
-Go to /system/media/ as you can see the boot animation, rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak that you can restore it anytime if you screwed up.
-Copy the downloaded bootanimation.zip to /system/media (If the downloaded file has another file name, just rename it into bootanimation)
-After that, long press the bootanimation.zip file and go to properties, set it up as readable.
-Restart your device, then. . . boom! :good:

how does it work?

[GUIDE] How to deodex your Z5 roms

Hi Guys ,
Due to many requests and because I don't have the time, the internet connexion and the Health to support all variants, I want to share with you how to make your Deodex for your Z5 !!!!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE TO ANY END OF THE WORLD DAMAGE BRICK OR THINGS LIKE THAT ON YOUR DEVICE !!! READ CAREFULLY AND ALWAYS DO A BACKUP FIRST !!!!
So let's get into it!
You will need:
A computer with java and flashtool installed
the SVADEODEXERFORART Tool here
This Zip I made for my deodex with Serajr base
Winrar or 7zip
DiskInternals linux reader program installed (google it)
The Z5 variant FTF
FIRST: Extracting the system folder
-Open your FTF file with Winrar or 7zip and extract the system.sin file.
-Open Flashtool and go to Tools>Sin Editor and browse to the system.sin you extracted earlier. When selected, click Extract data button and wait Flashtool to finish the data extraction. You can close Flashtool after the end.
-Open the system.ext4 file you got after flashtool extraction with DiskInternals linux reader and double clik on the system partition (5.2GB partition).
-Select the App, priv-app, framework and vendor folder and Build.prop file and click save. Click next, set a folder in desktop called system and save the folders and file in this newly created folder (System on your desktop). Close the program after the end.
SECOND: Deodex the folder extracted
-Extract and copy the deodex tool (SVADeodexerForArt) in the system folder on your desktop
-Delete the others folder in vendor folder except the app folder (You will have only vendor/app folder)
-Copy the 3 folder inside the vendor/app and the Semcgeneric folder from framework to the system/app or system/priv-app folder.
-Launch the tool, browse to the system folder and select this folder . After tick the 3 box in the left, clik Execute and let's the tool do some magic.
-A log will normally pop up in the end and if you have no error we can continue.
-If finished without errors, go to the SVADEODEXERFORART folder. You will see the 3 folders with deodexed app. Cut or copy them to another folder, for example Z5 deodex folder
-Create the vendor and vendor/app folder in the new folder with deodexed app in it and cut-paste the 3 deodexed folders you copied earlier from app or priv-app folder to vendor/app folder and do the same for the deodexed Semcgeneric folder to framework
Congratulations you have deodexed your rom
THIRD: Flash the deodex zip
-Take the zip and copy inside the system folder, the folders you deodex earlier
-Go to recovery and flash
You are normally on deodexed rom
You can clean the files if successfull
Sorry for the language mistakes too :fingers-crossed:
If you have some problems check this Youtube Video. It can help you
Special Thanks to:
@serajr for this deodex zip base
@auras76 for this help for the first deodex
@svadev for this awesome tool

I've been using ext2explore to open and extract system.ext4. And I highly recommend to use SuperR Kitchen on Linux to deodex since I got random FC (different apps in different time to deodex) with any apps when I do deodex on Windows.

SvaDeodexerForArt did not work for me, always failed at boot.oat. But using Superrs-Kitchen on Manjaro Linux, I could do it easily. Very clear instructions all through the process.
I created the .253 deodex and flashed it. No issues so far.

Sorry for the delay in replying.
Please follow the steps in the link.
I don't use Ubuntu. The steps are shown using Mint 18. You can get system.ext4 and kernel.elf using flashtool.

And there is an error while zipaligning apk file. here is the log file.

There is a 224 Deodex zip, in the forum. You can use that. No, I did not zip align them.
