Mod Edit

"Best" or "Recommend" ROM / Kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.

I am glad that it is working flawless for you but it is better not to start threads like this one as it can lead to problems.

Hey guys

Can some1 create a tutorial on how to remove aroma installer from a rom please?

current safe trap does not support aroma launcher and im trying to instal Xnote rom.

thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Better PM the Xote dev for an automated non-aroma rom, if he has the time and is willing to.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raynan:
There are some tutorials in the AT&T thread. Basically, you move the apps you want from the Aroma locations into the system/app folder and replace the META-INF folder with one from a non-aroma ROM. As long as you don't share it out, I don't think anyone will have a problem with it...If you're not comfortable doing that, it might be better to ask as stated above me.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tp2215:
The easiest way is to basically remove the meta-inf folder and replace it with a stock one without aroma. Then open up updater-script and make sure everything is in the correct places that is listed in the script. Usually, make sure you move the kernel you where the script file says (it's usually the root of the zip). You can then remove whatever folder the Rom dev used for aroma, sometimes it's extras, apps, etc. Then rezip and try flashing it.

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

Oh and make sure you move everything from the last step back into its appropriate place in the system folder before you remove that folder. For example, if the dialer is on that other folder, make sure to move it back to system/priv-app or the dialer will not be installed and you will have a bunch of issues on boot.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayman.y88:
Thank you a lot for the tutorial.

Do you happen to have a stock Meta-INF ? if not can you link me to a rom with it so that i can download it ?

Thank you again
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tp2215:
Just take one out of any Rom for your device that doesn't have aroma. Just make sure it's from your device to make sure the wipe paths and kernel paths are correct.

Just the info that I was looking for thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] icedventimocha:
Please do NOT post these themes or link back to it anywhere else. Anything you find wrong should be posted in this thread. Please leave feedback or let me know if I missed/messed something up.

FEATURES:

POTATO GESTURES MOD

First, what this mod does is allow you to use gestures within your status bar. JUST SWIPE AND DOUBLE TAP ON THE CENTER OF THE STATUSBAR. ONLY FUNCTIONS THAT WORK ARE MUSIC GESTURES. SET DOUBLE TAP TO PLAY/STOP, AND SWIPE ACTIONS TO SWITCH TRACKS IN THE POTATO STATUSBAR GESTURE APP IN YOUR APP DRAWER. DO NOT REPORT SYSTEMUI FORCE CLOSES IF USING ANY OTHER FUNCTIONS. NOTE YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO SET STATUSBAR COLOR TO TRANSPARENT FOR THE GRADIENT APP TO WORK PROPERLY.

WHAT DOES NOT WORK:

CUSTOM STATUSBAR COLOR

SHOW AVAILABLE MEMORY

SLEEP

STATUSBAR GRADIENT MOD

What this mod does is allow you to select up to 4 colors for your stausbar. Transparencey is supported, and you can choose which direction the gradient goes

POTATO STATUSBAR CLOCK/DATE MOD

This mod allows you to put the clock and date wherever you want in the statusbar. You can choose multiple different formats including text clock. If you know java you can create you own display style! NOTE: IF YOU USE CENTER CLOCK THE TICKER TEXT WILL OVERLAP THE CLOCK. UNFORTUNATELY THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

MIUI BATTERY BAR

Yep, its an MIUI battery bar. Select different colors for different battery levels or go one solid color. Adjustable width, and animations.

CPU SPIED

Shows realtime CPU info. Toggle info and governor on/off

POTATO INFO

Shows realtime phone info in drop-down

NETWORK SPEED IN STATUSBAR

Sorry this one has no controls. Its purdy though

3MINT BATTERY MOD

Choose between over 1,000 battery styles including my bloody battery icon, choose animation and more.

ADDED 3MINT QUICKLAUNCH

Hey guys. Just wondering what launchers you have rocking on your Tab S.

I currently have Nova Launcher and Smart Launcher Pro. Both are very light on memory and I can zip through everything without a lag on my Tab S.

Any others?
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] Poser:
Going to try my apex shortly!
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] YiZK:
Using TSF Shell, works great without any lag.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] TheOneChristo:
I've been running Nova. It's pretty much my go to and I like it, but I'm looking for other options as well.

Works well and nice and smooth.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] jboogie555:
Nova is always my goto as well.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] dcaplinger76:
What grid size do you all use on Nova? I always have it looking weird where I have too many icons or they are too far apart.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] mitchellvii:
Go Launcher Ex is far more feature packed than Nova and has cooler animations and themes. Additionally it seems to make whites whiter which means your browser will have more contrast and you can turn brightness down. It also has an extensive list of custom widgets. In addition when holding the tablet in landscape mode the icon dock goes vertical on the right side which is very handy because you can scroll through icons with your thumb.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] TonyBigs:
Go Launcher bothers me. I've tried it on other tablets. It looks nice and does lots of things but there are so many addons that I feel I'm being sucked into something (not quite sure what). I like Nova or for simplicity CM's Trebuchet.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] mitchellvii:
Chinese mind control ☺
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] troysbama1:
I use NEXT launcher which is made by the go launcher team. I'm sure it's a system hog but I like the themes from Magic4works. I also like 3d mode on my phone. I do use Xprivacy to block personal information though.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] craigels:
Nova is my go too also very smooth experience and no lag on my note 3 and my g pad 8.3
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] TonyBigs:
(In robotic voice) Must download another addon... ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] wolffe:
I'm loving Lightning Launcher Extreme. It takes a bit to learn and get used to, but it's the *most* flexible and customizable launcher I've seen, and I went through about a dozen in the last year or so.

The trick to LL is to remember that it's a tree, and that all the branches are containers and all the leaves are single objects, and that all properties are inherited from the parent.

Each container is essentially a separate desktop that can have it's own size and grid, so my desktop can be a 10x16 grid, and my launcher bar can take up a 10x1 space, but internally be a 9x1 space.

Each container is individually zoomable and scrollable, unless you tell it not to be.

Containers and objects both can be unpinned from the grid and moved, rotated, skewed, and scaled with subpixel precision. This includes widget!

LL can also designate a desktop as the lock screen... so you can customize that as well.

As a topper, the Extreme edition allows scripting in JS with a few launcher specific extensions.

As mentioned, it took a bit to figure out, but my home screen is *exactly* how I want it.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] Rolldog:
Go Launcher is horrible. Are you being serious? I'm running Nova currently, but I've used, and purchased, the premium version of every launcher that's been out for longer than a year. I just get tires of the layout, or the interface, or something, so I go through all of them, shortly after I remember why I didn't like it, and I always end up back using Nova. It seems like the market has been flooded with new launchers over the last 6-12 months, too many to give them all a try so I'm trying to figure out which one to use next. On my Galaxy S5, I'm using Buzz Launcher, which is pretty cool because you can download entire homepacks, or screens, that other people have designed and all the widgets, icons, layouts, backgrounds, etc install automatically and since it supports 9 screens, I could n have a new look on my phone everyday. Unfortunately, it doesn't support landscape very well. I might go with Next Launcher next. I kind of miss the 3D effects it has. I always like to show it to friends who have an iPhone.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] HughesNet:
Any of you tried TSF launcher?

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

If you have tried all of the launchers and you have not like any of them then maybe it isn't go launcher that is horrible but rather your expectations of a launcher. It sounds like you have like a relatively simple and straightforward launcher with a clean interface. With that in mind I'm not sure why you keep looking.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] Freakstyler:
Nope, Go launcher just sucks... :)
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] mitchellvii:
Really? I've used Nova and Go and prefer Go quite clearly. Better screen contrast, better widgets, better animations, better themes, vertical dock in landscape. Go is constantly updated and improved whereas Nova doesn't seem to have significantly improved in years.

Please list for us the ways that Go Launcher sucks, what you prefer and specifically why it is superior.

Buzz is cool but almost too much for my tastes.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] jjdavola:
I love TSF Shell on my S5, but for tablets, I prefer more simplicity for some reason. Therefore Apex is my daily launcher since it's customizations seem to meet my needs best. For some reason I've always had trouble with slight lag with Nova, especially with the dock.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] iMJets:
Nova Launcher is by far the best launcher to use. So plain but customizable. You can do pretty much what you want with it. Not a fan of go launcher its bulky, and tries to force there cheesy widgets on me. Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] le0.br4zuc4:
On my S5, I use Go Launcher (for now) because I like to always change. For this tablet I still don't know what I want to use, I tried go launcher, nova, TSF but I haven't found the one yet. For now, I'm using the stock launcher for lack of a better choice .
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] mitchellvii:
They all work pretty well. Each has its benefits.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] Rolldog:
GO Launcher is made for phones until they came out with their HD version for tablets, but they only have a few themes that are optimized to work on the HD tablet version. Also, when I first used GO Launcher, I used the free version and then decided to upgrade to the paid version. Now, they've redone everything where I have to pay for the "Prime" version, but then the majority of their themes you have to pay for on top of that, or install the Jar spam app, or whatever it's called, to earn enough points for a theme. Then they did the same with GO Locker and GO SMS, which are priced in addition to the launcher, but still isn't optimized for tablets. It has a lot of incompatibility issues as well. It's just a money pit that you keep throwing money into thinking if you do that eventually everything will work perfectly, all themes and icons would be free, but in the end, you're still stuck with a launcher that's not optimized for tablets, doesn't have as many features, you're stuck using themes designed for phones, and it still crashes.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] lilounec:
Hi,

personnaly i actualy use KK launcher with bell UI icon pack (it's my first android tablet) and all's working great.

i've tested Go launcher but i really don't like it. i'll tried nova to test
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] reubenskelly1992:
It also takes up more ram and is laggy
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] 619619:
I use Google Experience Launcher + XGEL

I simply love Google Now sliding in and being integrated in the launcher
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] mitchellvii:
Not laggy in the least. One interesting thing. I have an app which clears out "junk" files that build up with use and also clears ram memory. Without question, there are far more junk files and ram usage under Nova than Go. For instance, under Go I might get maybe 400 MB of junk files during a periodic cleaning. Under Nova I would get 1.2 GB - 3 times as much. Under Go my memory usage might get up to 70% or so regularly. Under Nova it would get to over 90%.

So basically I think you are just throwing out comments you read elsewhere and have no idea what you are talking about.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] reubenskelly1992:
I think you will find I know what I'm talking about. You mean clean master most likely. The memory etc it cleans isn't just to do with the launcher. It's the apps you use etc. Dunno what your doing but I or I bet no one else has ever had to clear 1.2gb because of nova. Also nova uses a lot less memory than go does. And that's a fact. So I don't know what your looking at. Enough said

I used xposed app settings to change DPI to 400 for Nova. Then it looks good. Like a giant phone. But TW laucher is pretty much the same in my opinion.

Best "laucher" by far is GMD Gesture Control. It is a must have on a tablet.

Both the above can only be had when rooted.

It seems to be very fast and very lite on the battery.

b) widges are messed up

c) settings interface font size

Unfortunately Nova does not work for portrait and landscape orientation.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] kenkiller:
Hmm....

a) So not buying Prime? :D

b) Doesn't seem to be messed up from what I can see.

c) Isn't that adjustable in Samsung's settings? It is using the normal tablet UI anyway.

Nope, works in portrait and landscape for me.....
