1. Kies only work for Stock based ROM
2. My files is not preinstalled in Super nexus Rom. If you want to access your files and folders, you have to download a file manager from Google Playstore (market). I recommend Solid Explorer or Es file explorer. both are free..

install a file manager. when first starting a file manager you are at /sdcard so you probably need to go up to /
Go to /sdcard1/

[Q] Twrp Question

Please for give the n00b question .. but hey if you don't ask you don't learn... right?.... anyway -I'm trying to install one of EVOuser94's nice twrp themes.. and in the install instructions .. he says " place zip in "theme /sdcard/TWRP/THEME.. and if you dont have a "THEME file .. create one ..I have a twrp file in my sd .. but i not a "Theme"sub file .. i know how to move files.. delete files.. but not how to create a new one, how do you do that?
What file explorer are u using? Astro should be adequate, but there should be an option to create new folder. If not try root explorer and pay for it. I know its in there.
Ahh .that was going to be my next step..for the life of me ..I couldn't figure out how to do it within twrp itself!...at least I know my train of thought wasn't completely derailed.. lol..Thanks friend!..

My Answer is for kagouro - Becouse i Don't see your post when I write.
If Your Phone is dedected in adb you can use logcat (adb logcat in windows cmd) if phone don't dedected in adb - flash recovery via fastboot, join in recovery , instal working rom and found bad files in rom (try add modyfication singly - first root, second busybox etc - in this metod you can see whad mod don't work - probably stupid method but work :cyclops

Kitchen will replace certain necessary parts of your ROM if it isn't compatible with the kitchen, it puts them back when you compile. When you compiled your ROM did you take the guided option? Also, and probably the first thing I should have asked, is your phone compatible with kitchen?

OK, just for giggles try this, take the meta-inf folder from a rom you know works and using 7zip replace the one in your rom. Let me know if that helped at all:beer:

Ext3 is a mount point, I'm not sure what it would be specific to your device, but it tells me there's an error in your updater script

[Q] Aroma Installer

Hi guys,
I'm trying to set up Aroma Installer for my own Custom ROM. When I try to flash the ROM, it shows all but when i had nearly finished it let me choose Installation Demo and other options. This will flash the ROM or it will show me what will happen without flashing it?
If it is only a demostration, what I have to do to flash the ROM definetly?
Thank you!!!

By the looks of it, it's just a demo
To flash a ROM, go to its thread, download it(it won't be 5 mb, it would be probably bigger than 100 mb or around it) and follow the instructions on how to flash it.

How about posting your meta-inf folder here so someone can see where you went wrong as in its hard to give you an answer without more detail

I don't think that there is a problem in my meta-inf folder. I just ask what I have to do to skip the demo and flash the ROM.
Thank you for answering!

I don't want to flash other's ROM. I want to install Aroma for MY ROM so when someone try to flash my rom, he'll be able to choose what he want to install or not.

Then you need to modify Aroma-Config (Uses C as language) and updater-script to make the package behave as you want.
If you don't want options in Aroma, just a simple installer of ROM
Then, follow this guide

I have done all of this before but it continues taking me to the demo.
Here is my aroma-config and udapter-script files.
The reason the demo keeps playing is because you haven't set things up right, that's why I'm asking for your meta-inf folder and all its contents, if you would like to have aroma flash your ROM and not play a demo that is.... Choice is yours

Sorry, my phone is being a **** and won't let me extract .rar, can you either upload it as a .zip or you could use pastebin to post your updater-script and aroma-binary otherwise it will have to wait until I can get near a PC (few more hours)

No problem, just busy right now so sorry if it takes a bit to answer.
Right now all you did was swap updater scripts, you need to edit your aroma-config to have it select what you want.
If you need some help with it I'll be home in maybe 5hours and can lend a hand then, in the meantime take a look at some of my (or others) aroma packaged and see how they matched aromaconfigs to updater scripts

ok this is just a quick sloppy job but should get you what your after, feel free to ask any more questions on how to pretty it up for your installers

Thank you!!! It works!!!
Can you tell me how you did it?
Now, how I can put different options? For example, if someone installs my ROM I would like them to choose what kernel or app they want to install or not. How can I do that and where I must place the .apk files (for the apps) or the .zip files (for the kernels)?
Thank you again!!!
I'm seeing that the installer does not install the ROM, how I can do that?

Dear mate!
Could you plz help me to correct my rom aroma installer, i configured aroma-config and updater script but during flash process it show (Status 1) error on line 187 col 4 or something like this.

all i did was fix aroma, you need to put the files in the proper place, as in open root folder, there should be two inside (more if needed for other purposes) meta-inf and system, put all rom info organized properly in system and then flash
you can always save aroma logs if you have questions
and yes i can help you add kernel choices and such but i need to know what all options you need or want

No need to apologize, we all learn new thongs every day!
You shouldn't have to edit any script, just take your system folder and meta-inf (and anything else needed) zip them up and sign, when you flash in aroma be sure to save logs so you can check it later for errors
