That probably wouldn't work either. My aroma isn't built to be modular enough to modify things without rewriting large portions of it from scratch.

It's not difficult to learn to write them. I'm not a teacher, though. If you want to learn, the aroma Q&A thread is the place to go. Those guys know WAY more about aroma than I do.

As for the other questions, Skype does not install for me unless it is selected. I tested on two tablets and two phones. All of them were tested using the 0.3 beta aroma version.

On the Force close issue, that should not be happening either, since aroma is doing what it's supposed to on my devices. Only the selected apps get installed for me. It seems like one of two things is happening that I can think of. Either the ROM is not 4.2 AOSP-based or the stock gapps package is being selected accidentally. Without a logcat or something, I can't really do more than guess at the issue from my own testing devices.

For me to troubleshoot and fix the problem, you can help me by doing two things. First, make a backup and then full wipe /system and /data. Flash your ROM, then the special gapps, then aroma. De-select the option for the stock gapps at the beginning of the installer, then deselect the Skype app. Run the installer. At the end of the aroma script, next to the "Finish" button, there should be a "Save logs" button. Click that, and reboot into your ROM. Use either ADB or your favorite app to grab a logcat of the FC issue. Upload both of those logs for me, and I'll sort through the problems, and hopefully get this working on your device.

Keep in mind that I'm not having any of the issues you're describing on any of my test devices, so there's nothing I can do without logs or your device in my hands.

[Android Themes] TechXero:
Ok boss...

Thing is you just pointed out something very important, ROM is based off of ASUS stock image, which is part AOSP part ASUS, but unlike Sense or TouchWiz it's not a Fork of Android, it's mainly AOSP with ASUS modifications to kernel and some apps.

I guess I will have to learn Aroma and build my own package... Better late than never...

[Android Themes] cajunflavoredbob:
Yea, that's really important. I don't know what modifications ASUS may or may not have made. That's why this is universal for AOSP-based ROMs, like CM and AOKP. The base is universal. Factory ROMs are normally bogged down with all kinds of things that the OEM considers improvements, which they very well might be, but those subtle changes bork a lot of cool mods that users here like to install.

So, my followup question is this: Does the TF700 have any AOKP/CM ROMs you could try this on?
[Android Themes] TechXero:
Here's the sad part, this tablet has a total of 5 ROMs nothing more. No developer love at all. And to answer your question yes it has 2. One of which is made to be used with your Package.

It's B-Boy's own Baked Black Bean v8...sadly it has had performance issues since day one. I hate it, that's why I never use it.

2nd ROM is CM10.1.. Also crappy performance and stability issues more than I can say.

Bottom line is I will never, nor any of the TF700 owners for that matter use anything else than CROMi-X which is stable and smooth.

Hence why I asked for a basic package. Which gets me to my question, is there one of them packages you made that has only Inverted GApps with no extra apps.

Im sorry if im out of line here, but the aroma package does what it is suppose to, it installs the selected inverted gapps, those that you do not select will get installed to , but they will not be inverted. As for my opinion, is it so difficult to open any file explorer with root privileges and delete those apps that you dont want? it takes less than 2 minutes to do so. Great job Cajun! Everything working great, I just took Play from B-Boy's page and it looks awesome. I'm also using a cm theme to match the whole inverted look.

[Android Themes] cajunflavoredbob:
The easiest way to get what you want is to download the quickflash, use 7zip on your PC to open the file, and then delete the apks that you don't want installed. Close 7zip, and then flash the file. Do not use Windows to open the zips for you in file explorer, as that works about as well as a chipmunk trying to open and close a door.

There are probably some apps on Android that can manage a flashable zip without corrupting anything, but I don't use any just to be safe.
[Android Themes] TechXero:
I usually use 7zip on Windows works well with flashable zips. Done it before. As long as I use the "Store" method...

Btw just so u know, CROMi-X has GApps in ROM.zip not as separate zip. Also what does the Quickflash zip have in it? All Inverted Google apps with no extras.

Edit

I tried Quick Flash Google Plus app keeps vanishing and only Plus messenger remains... Any ideas? If I install as regular app it works.... Same for Translate... And Gmail looks odd... Check included image..

I give up on trying to make them GApps work on ASUS TF700 coz they look more like Phone apps than Tablet. Tried countless times. For one Google Plus has Navbar on the side whereas in the normal one they at the bottom, and Gmail looks half baked.

So now I see what you meant by not for non-CM10 n AOSP ROMs...

This is for JB 4.2 ROMs, not 4.1. CM10 = 4.1, which is part of the problem. Only a few of these apps work correctly on 4.1.

I don't have a tablet at that resolution, but on both of the tablets I do have (one at 1280x1024 and one at 1280x800) the apps auto adjust to tablet mode. G+ in landscape loads up the sideways card view type layout. YouTube has the large card view display as well.

This is another one of those things that I can't fix, since I don't have the device. You could try forcing the apps into tablet mode by installing Xposed framework package. This is a ROM issue, though, not a problem with this package, since the apps have tablet mode built in to them.

Can't help you on G+. Without the device in hand, all I can say is "it works for me".

The gmail issue may be due to a theme you have conflicting with the inverted app. Disable themes, clear app data for the themes then reboot.

I'm not the one inverting the apps, so you'll have to wait for B-boy to update his apps.

Then all I can say is that the problem is with your ROM, since no one else has this issue. I've flashed these zips about five times each trying to reproduce the same thing, but it works perfectly fine for me and everyone else. I'm assuming everyone else is fine since I haven't heard of any issues.

Is there a way (i.e. script) to keep inverted apps after nightly rom flashes without having to reflash gapps every time?

~ ¢ ⁴®m mî N⁴ ∅ñ ×d@
[Android Themes] JibbsIsMe:
Carbon has this feature. I've never tried it before though.
[Android Themes] cajunflavoredbob:
As [MENTION=3049780]JibbsIsMe[/MENTION] mentioned, Carbon ROM has this built in where the nightlies leave gapps alone. However, you would still need to use aroma for Maps, Google Plus, Google Keep, Google Music, and Gmail, since those are all market apps that get flashed to /system/app due to permission requirements.

I suppose I could make those optional in aroma as to the location. Meaning you would get to pick to flash them to /data or /system. Google Plus and Keep both have to be in /system due to log in issues with being a user app, though.

I don't have a simple solution to your issue in regards to the inverted apps themselves, but gapps, including busybox, will be retained on Carbon ROMs due to the way they script their update zips. It's pretty clever, really.
[Android Themes] Yildun28:
I'm having the same issue with People Force closing when you open a contact card. How do I not install it from the package? I tried to overwrite it with a contacts apk but then I lose phone.

Keep going around in circles trying to get this to work.
[Android Themes] jesssiii:
Long press the package and choose "extract all", then navigate to extracted gapps, enter the folder and delete the contacts/phone. Then back out, long press that modified package and choose "zip". Then use the newly modified package to flash after ROM. Your ROMs contacts/phone will be used and no more force closes!
[Android Themes] cajunflavoredbob:
Use the above solution by [MENTION=2861395]jesssiii[/MENTION] or simply use aroma and do not select contacts to install. If you already have it installed, you can overwrite it with the contacts.apk from your ROM. Just be sure to set permissions to rw-r--r-- before you reboot.
[Android Themes] cajunflavoredbob:
To any of you guys using Google Maps: Please use Titanium backup to convert it to a user app. If you do this, let me know if you have any troubles with it.

Hey guys

I got a serious question I wanna ask.

I have been using Inverted GApps for quite a while now, I don't leave the house very often due to personal issues so not out in the sunlight much. But I recently did go out only to find out that they are not practical no matter how high I set brightness. I can barely see Twitter, Gmail, Gtalk or anything for that matter.

For the interior they are great. But once outside in direct sunlight they are unusable. How do you guys cope?

Sorry for off topic but just wondering xD

Works fine for me outside with brightness kicked up. No matter what, direct sunlight makes everything turn to **** on your phone. I'm using a Note 2 with an AMOLED display.

You basically have two options. Either use them or don't based on which is more important to you. If outdoor visibility is more important, than higher brightness is the best option, which can only be made better by using stock, white apps. For me, I'm indoors and outdoors about equal times during the week, but the inverts do not bother me at all in the sunlight.

It works on some ROMs, and not on others. I know why, but I'm not interested in fixing it, since it would almost need to be on a ROM by ROM basis, and hardly any people have the issue, or they at least don't report it.

If MMS or Contacts doesn't work for you, the solution is to not use it. Try looking for AOKP or Carbon ROMs that have a Dark slider feature, which automatically inverts certain ROM and Google apps. Beyond that, look for an inverted theme, and install the normal versions of the apps it inverts.

I'll post a new set of zips tomorrow, hopefully.
