Hi guys.
I need some help on Aroma Installer and how to configure it.
I know up to how to add the Aroma Installer, and choose it's theme.
But, I want to learn a bit more about how to add options.
e.g Select Launcher
Select Music Player
Select Theme.
etc.
How can options be added to the Aroma Installer?
Lots of reading to be done here....

Download the AROMA installer 2.56 from the thread and have a look through the files. All the files will be in the META-INF folder. The ones you want are all the way into the /aroma/ folder.
You want aroma-config and updater-script. If you don't know EDIFY... then you need to go and read up on EDIFY first. The two files are heavily annotated so it's quite easy to follow. You can/should also download a ROM that uses it and read through how they've implemented it. Darkside Agent who cooks CodecROM said I could freely look through his and see how he's done things. You could look at his, and I will extend the same and let you look through mine
This may be a good place to start also:
http://alpha-techs.co.uk/files/roms/ultima/Mods/Mega_Wipe_AROMA.zip
Compare it to the default installer with the examples (Aroma-installer-2.56.zip) or use it as a base and modify it to your liking. I don't mind.
Looking at my Mega_Wipe script, in aroma-config you see this:
Code:
selectbox(
"Mega, Super and Simple Data Wipe",
"Which method would you like to use?",
"@alert",
"clear.prop",
"Make your selection", "", 2, #-- Group 1. key = "selected.1"
"Mega Wipe", "Wipe EVERYTHING (System, Data, Preload and internal storage)", 0, #-- selected.1 = 1
"Wipe Data", "Wipe System Data, Dalvik Cache and Cache", 0, #-- selected.1 = 2
"Simple Wipe", "Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache", 1 #-- selected.1 = 3
);
To add another choice you simply add something else like this ^ replacing everything as you see fit.
I suggest editing in notepad++ and setting the language to shell.
PM me if you need help and I'll try.
Download this zip and have a look in 2 files:
Aroma-config and
Updater-script
This is the configuration I use for my ROM.
Look at both the files side-by-side. Basically what happens here is you ask the user to choose an option, that option number 1,2,3,4 etc is stored in the cache in file.prop..
This value is then used to flash the respective files using IF-Then statement..
If you don't get to understand anything ping me..
I tried to put a selection in launcher. But it says bad in cwm.

Okk.
I did that and now the package doesn't show errors in CWM.
The aroma works fine.
Is it ok, if there is no launcher in the \system\app but just in the Apps\launchers folder?
After "Installing Launcher"
it gives an error saying:
file_getprop: failed to stat
"/tmp/aroma/launcher.prop": No such file or directory..
Why is that problem occuring?
Plus the rom no longer boots.
Reboots automatically into recovery.
Logcat says:
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Permission denied (13) -
Anyone?
It's okay to not have a launcher included in the rom.. However if the launcher flash fails.. Your system will show a black screen after booting..
Don't know what is causing the other problems.. Somehow the launcher.prop file is not getting created..
Send me the meta folder I will have a look and try to find out he problem.. Also the error log
sent from here, there, somewhere!!

Things which noticed at first glance are:
1.in
Code:
selectbox(
"Launchers",
"Select the desired Launcher you wish to use",
"launcher.prop",
The launcher.prop command is in the location of the icon file
try adding
Code:
"@icon",
above launcher.prop command
2. the comma "," is still there after the last zero (0)
3. Try adding the restart command in the end
modify these lines to suit your needs and add in the end
Code:
ini_set("text_next", "Finish");
checkviewbox(
"Installation Completed",
"<#selectbg_g><b>Congratulation...</b></#>\n\n"+
"<b>"+ini_get("rom_name")+"</b> has been installed into your device.\n\n"+

"@welcome",
"Reboot your device now.",
"1",
"reboot_it"
);
if
getvar("reboot_it")=="1"
then
reboot("onfinish");
endif;

sorry wrong post
Hi, i try to make a rom with aroma installer.
Since this morning I'm stuck on this problem : there's no error when I run, but during installation I propose a choice for system apps installation. or two of them a second choice is needed.
when i selected one (thememangager) the new selectbox comes.
but for second (livewallpaper) nothing happens, it goes to next. As if there's no choice. I've read and read again, but I can't find my problem.
Could someone help me please? (i've join the text in that show content)
Thanks in advance...

"item.1.2=0\n"+
"item.1.3=0\n"+
"item.1.4=0\n"
);
endif;
I finally found my answer : stop to search solution will come alone.
if it can be useful to someone : 1 choice = 1 *.prop file.
so first choice is the sytem apps (systemapps.prop). Then if required you'll go to the 2nd or 3d choice. Here theme manager and LWP picker. So thememan.prop and lwp.prop.
If, like me, you put twice systemapps.prop, it will or rewrite the file erasing the the first time, or considering it is yet choosen. That's why it didn't work.

Thanks but why would I prefer? Have you tried? What in more?
I've read fastly, but thread is indicate as closed, so for any question it risk to be difficult!?
Aroma semmed to be easier... and I'd like to not read again some pages and pages to learn a new kind of program. (sure if i can't manage to work it, i'll think twice about!)
It's not that my rom don't run or stopped for error. It works before and after. Just the second menu doesn't appear.
Anyway thanks for your purpose (and for explaination for dsixda if you want to learn me).
Anybody else an idea?
Windows 11 how do I make all files and folders appear as General items and always sorted by date modified and detailed view?
I'm doing the usual ways through file options, but it doesn't work.
In all folders and for some reason it doesn't remember what settings I saved. Is there a way or reg file to make it sealed in the system and that can't be changed?
Chat gpt gave this yet to try ( didn't worked )
Spoiler: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Also when win+e it opens home and there are a bunch of things and it slows down, there is a change button to open my computer but it also changes back
When I press saved shortcuts favorites on the left side of the Quick access toolbar, it finds the folder it is in and the view jumps down, and every time I have to scroll up again and again each time I press any favorite.
And when, for example, I need to select a file to upload somewhere, it also does not save the settings and every time hell need yi change the view manually
Please help to sort these problems
Thanks
