[GUIDE][DEV] aroma ROM+KERNEL installer pack

using aroma installer for any mod installation is cool. you might want to use it to install your rom. however, only a few member here know how to use it correctly. this thread is intended to introduce aroma installer to any rom devs here. I've made a simple aroma installer to install rom and kernel for any dev who want to use and learn about it. please don't expect any "wow" thing from this stuff. if you're a rom dev you should learn aroma installer by yourself. this stuff is only something I hope could help you understand the structure of aroma installer and how to make it by your self.
long story short. here is the link
v1 http://d-h.st/Epd
v1.1 http://d-h.st/r09

how to use:

3. replace boot.img with your kernel
4. rezip the zip file

Many Many Thanks For This Great Guide............ Thanks Friend.............
I Hope All(not All)ROM User Now USE Aroma Installer..

Gr8! Downloading... (i don't know today my connection give speed 12kb/s )
Sr sir, but construction:
1. Extract this file
2. Put/replace in current system folder.
3. Zip and install via CWM

yup...its just as simply like that. replace the system folder with yours, rezip, done. the kernel is a test stuff so you might want to replace with something else. if every rom here using aroma installer, the other forum will be so envious. let's go up!!

There is no boot.img in the package you gave. What should I replace?
---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------
Btw what files should I mod? There are 2 kinds of files namely " . txt " and the " .txt~ " ones.

put in the root folder. just like boot.img in previous version. I didn't put that kernel since it significanly increase the file size.

How could i use this package to install multiple roms?????? in one aroma?? any help wpuld be awesome!!

you can modify the script by yourself. if you don't want to make one, you can use the slot used to install busybox.

is there no one interested in testing or discussing over this rom :crying:

Only some .apk like UC Browser, Root Explorer, Facebook, Root Pro, BusyBox Free etc, and some xposed modules. You can download the "ROM", open in a ZIP explorer, and see what is there more exactly, because is not hard to figure it out, there are only .apks.
P.S.: Sorry for my english

[tool]Installer for xposedLG G2[tool]unofficial

A small tool which makes the installation of xposed an easy process.
-I support only 5.0.x stock. If ot works on other versions - good.
*** I am NOT the author of xposed ***
The XPOSED AUTHORS original thread is here
make sure you thak to @rovo89 for xposed and his hard work.
--IF anyone else is to be added to the xposed dev list please pm me so I WILL add it. Thank you---
I'm just putting everything together so you can install it via 1 click
What does this tool do ?
BUTTON "INSTALL"
-Installs the complete xposed which includes the installer which is also copyrighted by it's authors
-makes backup of LG crucial files which would force close if we don't remove them (for now)
-deletes the mentioned files (smartcover, lgweather)
BUTTON "COMPLETE UNINSTALL"
-removes the complete package of xposed
-restores LG files (smartcover and lgweather)
-makes sure the permissions are the right one
The 3 dot menu contains:
"ABOUT" ---- Please read this...you need to read this as it's important
"DONATE" ---- support the further development etc
"EXIT" ---- EXITS the app
"UNINSTALL" --- This uninstall is only for those who have manually frozen the files and just want to uninstall xposed so they can unfreeze the apps later.
Req: a rooted LG G2 and TWRP installed.
An alternate build will also contain the files for those who just deleted the files and now want them back.
Please read this thoroughly so later there are no headbangs..

Haha...yeah...but it helps more than you know...this tool will probably prevent at least 100 noobish help i installed xposed and everything force close threads and posts

thanks @bender_007

Mate, I have to ask why. This is such a simple process if you have root, changing the update script and binary you open a new can for bugs... what's wrong with the official zips?

So is this not supported by non stock ROMs?

nice tool. altough I allready installed xposed manually an frozen the apps it will be usefull for unistall process if needed.

FYI do not try without custom recovery. I don't know wtf I was thinking, but I tried without custom recovery. Failed to completely install, but it booted up again. Then tried to uninstall whatever may have installed, rebooted. BRICKED. TOTing back lol. I am such an idiot sometimes.

I had smartcover and lgweather force closes on ls980. I didn't realize it happened to other variants! Thanks this is a nice tool!

The Play Store Link does not indicate a need for TWRP. Is that just an oversight, or does that version not require it. Rather be safe than sorry.

You need TWRP. I bricked my phone and had to tot back. Make sure you have custom recovery.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app

It does require twrp. Playstore rejected the app 3 times so I had to change text not to include some brands etc.

I know it seems I'm beating a dead horse but, any luck on a non recovery version yet? My tablet feels lonely without xposed!

When it's on testing I will send it to you . But get also a kdz of your system os if needed.

Hi, a silly question if I have uninstalled LGSmartCover and theses kind of LG apps that will cause FC, there will be some problem like the installator crashing because can't find LGSmartCover and lead to a bad installation....?

Nubia ZTE Z5S Mini NX403A - Android 5.0.2 CM12

Hi
I have new Nubia ZTE Z5S Mini NX403A, there was hard to find information about upgrade and root so here it is, all in one thread!
When you buy Nubia ZTE Z5S Mini its came to you with Android 4.2.2.
When you plug in phone to computer by USB cable you can install USB drivers right from device. Make a backup of this drivers because after upgrade you will be not able to access it again.
There is a copy for you: USB drivers for ZTE Nubia Z5S Mini -> download
When the drivers will be installed turn on USB Debugging mode. (Settings->About Device, click a few times in Build Version to turn on Developers access. Now go to Settings->Developer options.)
First step is to root your device.
Root ZTE Nubia Z5S Mini – download
Download it and extract. Run íżbatROMdiyí┐╣Ąż▀¤ń.exe file.
Wait till your phone will be detected then choose option "05....." from the menu in CMD window.
If the installation will be completed then you will find two new icons Link2SD and SuperSU on your phone screen.
To install TWRP Custom Recovery you need to install Flashify app.
Download, extract and copy TWRP 2.8.6.1 Recovery into SD Card and also copy to SD Card file ui.zip with theme for TWRP with English language unless you know Chinese (more themes for TWRP here on XDA)
Install and run Flashify app. In app menu click on Choose File and select TWRP2.8.6.1-Recovery.img file from SD Card.
Confirm.
When your phone will reboot go to phone memory and inside TWRP catalog create new one called "theme" and put there ui.zip file.
Download an copy into SD Card these two files:
–Android 5.0.2 CM12 temasek-v9.4-nx403a.zip
–gapps-lp-20141212-signed.zip
NEW UPDATED ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62249397&postcount=4
Run phone in Recovery Mode. (Hold in the same time: Power button and Volume Up.)
From TWRP menu choose Wipe (Wipe your phone to factory settings before you will install new Rom)
After wipe choose from TWRP menu option Install.
Choose from SD Card temasek-v9.4-nx403a.zip file and confirm installation of new ROM.
Reboot your phone and enjoy your new system
If you want Google Play Store and other Google apps install gapps-lp-20141212-signed.zip file the sam way you installed ROM from TWRP Recovery.
You need root your phone again. Download and install SuperSU from Google Play
Go to Settings->Developer Options->Root Access and choose Apliactions and ADB
Run SuperSU, accept root instalation and choose CWM/TWRP option.
If you get "soft brick" of your phone you can recover it with this instruction.
Rom do not have any bugs or errors. Works fine.
Screenshots (my language is Polish but all other languages are supported I also got some apps already installed):

Screenshot please..

When I upload it here it was free, now file is deleted, so you don't need to register, because there is nothing at all to download there. At the top of page there is info: "File no longer exist" and under that there are some ads about create account for money. So before you say something is spam, read it carefully please.

[RECOVERY] TWRP 3.1.1-0 Unofficial

I got bored, so I decided to build the latest TWRP. Big thanks to @negamann303 for his source. I only made minor, mostly theme related, tweaks to it. The only non-theme related tweak that I can remember is that I enabled the flag that enables taking advantage of NEON, so that might result in some speed increases, but I haven't done any tests to confirm that.
Q: Sweet! Does ADB backup work?
A: No. Sorry. If you know how to make it work, please let me know and I will implement it.
Q: Oh. So this is basically the same as the previous version?
A: Pretty much. I imagine it supports a whole bunch of new things that our watch isn't capable of, but who cares. It also features the nag screen that asks if you want to install the official TWRP app, which is useless in this case. You can tell it to stop though.
Q:So why should I bother with this?
A: Because you're a flashaholic that needs to have the latest and greatest thing. Duh.

How could I theme this?
(also you only build it with a local manifest or do you also have a git, which I could fork for theme testing?)

Sources are posted in the OP. Help yourself. I don't know much about TWRP theming, but I do know that the files you want to modify are found in device/huawei/sturgeon/watch_mdpi. This is the folder that was modified by @negamann303, and by myself to a lesser extent, to get the theme that you see in the version that I built. There is also a watch_mdpi folder in the TWRP source somewhere that contains the default watch theme. TWRP is also capable of themes that can be applied post-build so you don't have to build a new one every time you want it to look different, but I don't know anything about how to make that happen. Search XDA for flashable TWRP themes for examples, but make sure they're for 3.1.0. The theme template has changed a bit from previous versions. Hope that helps!

I hate to nag you, but could you post that theme when you get a chance? I'd like to see it in person.

@TheSt33v Sorry mate, for the late response. As promised here my theme (Just a WIP, I used a template for the filestructure etc.)

This saves me time from having to do it myself, I can look into removing the nag screen if you haven't figured it out yet

I forgot it was even there, so I wasn't looking into it. Once you disable it the first time, it's gone for good unless you wipe the device. Let me know if you figure out how to get rid of it though. I'm surprised there isn't just a flag to enable.

Thx, worked as expected and the good thing is : sideload don't must be fall back to the old protocol

Same as with a phone. Extract the .img file from the zip attached to the post, boot watch in bootloader mode, plug into computer, fastboot flash recovery [path to twrp image file].
