Android, group application installation



This is mostly for those who frequently change ROMs. We know that when you install a new ROM then, naturally, it is necessary to install the applications that we need. Google Play although it facilitates this process of application installation  on smartphones directly from the computer, however, this process can be further simplified.
The process can be simplified so that you create. Zip file with all the necessary applications and the same file will install through recovery, with all applications it will be installed once.



 Required tools:

-Installed Java Runtime Environment(JRE) on your PC (OS it doesn't matter but the link is for Windows)
-Aroma App Package Creator (download .jnlp file {Java executive file})
-Installed Touch Recovery on your Phone (its not been tested with regular recovery 4EXT REcovery Touch;
-7Zip optional
-calibration zip also optimal

Procedure:


You need to first install the JRE on your computer. After you install, turn on the program Aroma App Package Creator.

 The procedure is very simple. First create a group of programs,in the  image bellow the group is named Programi, then add applications. Enter the name of the application, and with the button "Browse"  load the application. Once you add all the programs that you need, from the field Calibration choose your phone model. If your model is not in the list will have to choose Custom and manually enter the digits calibration on the display. The digits you will find using the tool calibration.zip after will include in recovery.The procedure is described in the link.
Once you do as described then you can click the "Create" to save it. Zip file with the programs.

 
Update the programs in the package:

The creator of the program announced that will add function to read already-made packages with a view to their amendment, but it has not happened. Until then, if update for some of the apps that is already in your package, you will  not have to repeat this procedure again.
All you have to do is to run 7Zip and to open your saved  Zip package and track data> XXXX (where XXXX is the name of the apps folder) to replace alredy existing .Apk file with the newer version.
You can also in already existing  folder to add more. Apk files. It is very important. that in .apk files names to not have empty spaces . When you add .apk files in the package with Aroma Package,the software automatically deletes empty spaces, but if you add manually through 7Zip you  need to delete the spaces by your self before you add them to the package.




 Installation of the created package  :

You can install the package via recovery mod of your phone in the same way like you install new Rom.You can install the package after the installation of new Rom without restarting the phone
