"type.prop",

"Default", "Will install default features and configurations", "icons/install",
"Stripped", "Recommended Apps Will Be Installed", "icons/apps",
"Custom", "Choose What Apps You Want To Install", "icons/apps"
);

the type.prop here I do not remember what is in the type.prop for menu, you would and need to run a test ( without the updater script deleting anything) and before you press enter to install, go grab your type.prop from the aroma/tmp folder and see what is has in it, then use it in the if and then statements

most people use selectbox or checkbox

or to use the select you need to do it this way

selectbox(
#-- Title
"Installation Type",

#-- Sub Title
"Choose the installation type that best suits your needs.",

#-- Icon
"icons/apps",

#-- Will be saved in /tmp/aroma/type.prop
"type.prop",

"Default", "Will install default features and configurations", 1, #-- selected.1 = 1
"Stripped", "Recommended Apps Will Be Installed", 0, #-- selected.1 = 2
"Custom", "Choose What Apps You Want To Install", 0 #-- selected.1 = 3

);

the 1 means default selection you can make it any of the 3 choices

example

if
file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/type.prop","selected.1") == "3"
then

checkbox(
"default features and configurations",
"Will install default features and configurations",
"icons/personalize",
"custom.prop",

# Applications:
"applications","",2,
"Adobe FlashPlayer","<~adobeflashPlayerinfo>",1,
"Adobe Reader", "<~adobereaderinfo>",1,
"FBReader", "<~fbreaderinfo>",0,
"GMail", "The Gmail app: push, sync, conversations, integration, search, and more",1,

#2
"Internet & Social Networking","",2,
"Facebook", "Share and stay connected with your friends with the Facebook for Android app",1,
"Twitter", "Follow your interests: instant updates from your friends",1,

etc........

endif;

if
file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/type.prop","selected.1") == "2"

then

checkbox(
"Recommended Apps ",
"Recommended Apps Will Be Installed",
"icons/personalize",
"stripped.prop",

(like above but with stripped apps missing)

else
# Default .prop
writetmpfile(
"customize.prop",
"item.1.1=1\n"+
"item.1.2=1\n"+
"item.1.3=0\n"+
"item.1.4=1\n"+

"item.2.1=1\n"+
"item.2.2=1\n"

);
endif;

default and stripped I would combine a just one, that way you can use custom.prop in updater.script like

##---- Customize Packages
# Applications:
set_progress(0.7);
# app_adobe_flashplayer
if
file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/customize.prop","item.1.1") == "1"
then
ui_print("@Installing Package: app_adobe_flashplayer");
package_extract_dir("customize/app/app_adobe_flashplayer", "/data");
else
delete("/data/app/com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk");
endif;

# app_adobe_reader
if
file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/customize.prop","item.1.2") == "1"
then
ui_print("@Installing Package: app_adobe_reader");
package_extract_dir("customize/app/app_adobe_reader", "/data");
else
delete("/data/app/com.adobe.reader-1.apk");
endif;

# app_fbjreader
if
file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/customize.prop","item.1.3") == "1"
then
ui_print("@Installing FBReader");
package_extract_dir("customize/app/app_fbjreader", "/data");
else
delete("/data/app/FBReaderJ.apk");
endif;

# app_gmail
if
file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/customize.prop","item.1.4") == "1"
then
ui_print("@Installing Package: app_gmail");
package_extract_dir("customize/app/app_gmail", "/data");
else
delete("/data/app/com.google.android.gm-1.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.google.android.gm-2.apk");
endif;

# Internet & Social Networking

# app_social_facebook
if
file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/customize.prop","item.2.1") == "1"
then
ui_print("@Installing Package: app_social_facebook");
package_extract_dir("customize/app/app_social_facebook", "/data");
else
delete("/data/app_s/HtcFacebook.apk");
delete("/data/app_s/HtcFacebookChat.apk");
delete("/data/app_s/Skype.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.facebook.katana-1.apk");
endif;

# app_twitter
if
file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/customize.prop","item.2.2") == "1"
then
ui_print("@Installing Package: app_twitter");
package_extract_dir("customize/app/app_twitter", "/data");
else
delete("/data/app_s/com.htc.Twitter3DWidget.apk");
delete("/data/app_s/com.twitter.android-1.apk");
delete("/data/app_s/HtcTwitter.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.twitter.android-1.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.twitter.android-2.apk");
endif;

if not your updater.script will be bigger

if you post your script I can look at it, your previous link and site is not working
