Flash the ROM.zip from recovery.

The ROM your are about to install already have aroma so any questions about it should be asked in the ROM thread. :)

amarullz, there is a minor annoying bug with AROMA installer on HTC's latest devices, because the new devices doesn't have capacitive menu button, we can't open AROMA menu... I tried to remap menu to recent apps button ini_set("customkeycode_menu", "249"); but it doesn't work, any way to fix it? Thanks :)

updater-script doesn't appear to be running??

Hey guys,

Hope someone can help me. I am trying to keep it simple at first and have successfully built an nice UI in my aroma-config. It progresses through the various screens nicely, however when I get to the end and prompt to start the install, it doesn't appear that the updater-script is running.

Here is the pertinent section of my aroma-config that gets ready for the install...the last couple of screens:

ini_set("text_next", "Install");

viewbox(
"Ready to Install",
"The wizard is ready to begin installation.\n\n"+
"Press <b>Install</b> to begin the installation.\n\n"+
"If you want to review or change any of your installation settings, press <b>Back</b>. Press Left Hard Button -> Quit Installation to exit the wizard.",
"@install"
);

ini_set("text_next", "Next");

###################################################################################################################
setvar("retstatus",
install(
#-- Title
"Installing",

#-- Installation Process message
"<b>"+ini_get("rom_name")+"</b> installation.\n\n"+
"Please wait while installation wizard installs <b>"+ini_get("rom_name")+
"</b>. This may take several minutes.",

#-- Installation Icon
"@install",

#-- Installation Finish Message
"The installation successfully installed <b>"+ini_get("rom_name")+
"</b>. Press Next to continue."
)
);

ini_set("text_next", "Reboot");

viewbox(
"Installation Completed",
"<#selectbg_g><b>Installed...</b></#>\n\n"+
"<b>"+ini_get("rom_name")+"</b> <b>"+ini_get("rom_version")+"</b> has been installed.\n\n"+
"Reboot your device now!",
"@welcome"
);

reboot("now");

Once I tap the NEXT button to start the install however, it just immediately indicates the install completed and the NEXT button does show the Installation Complete viewbox and from there the prompt to reboot.

I even cut out all the actually installation scripts in my updater-script and just put in some ui_print lines like this:

ui_print("");
ui_print("----------------------");
ui_print("Why isnt this running");
ui_print("Arghh");
ui_print("----------------------");

But that wont even print in the installation window. There is a prompt to save the install log, which I do, and it's an empty text file. Grrrrr

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance!

Okay guys, I'm adding AROMA to my rom for extra apps and stuff

i looked at the aroma-config in another rom to see how it looks and how to right it,

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kevinrocksman:
search for aroma in google... there is a bunch of places that tell u how it works. The prop files are created from the options u select while installing through aroma then the updater script looks for those configurations and prop files to see what to install

Also I did porting android eventhub from android source to make the touchscreen work better, because it can detect which device exacly is touch screen and can automatically blacklist non keyboard and non touch device like sensors.

Next major version ui will act like holo theme with action bar, and support tablet layout...

Incredible work Amarullz, you are the best!

I will be happy and am excited about helping Aroma Recovery for Xperia 2011 devices. Ever since I saw TWRP and MIUI Recovery, I made the Multiboot Menu (Aroma Installer) for my Kernel support more and more Recovery-type functions. But I had to do a lot of tricks, and now I would be happy to wait for your incredible work.

Thanks and be safe!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amarullz:
Anybody can contributing the source, the current version was lack of support for compiling it in android build environment and lack of source documentations, so not that much contributor that help me to support more devices.

In AROMA Core, I made it very transparent, If any developer submit/commit the source, and if I think it was possible to merged it into universal driver, it will become officially supported universal device.

And I will think again about non-official binary distribution.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amarullz:
I hope AROMA Recovery will make some incredible support from other dev. Because it need to compiled per device specific. And any device specific code will be on AROMA Core, so If someone port the AROMA Recovery into another device, all Applications like Installer and Filemanager will automatically supported for that device (even if it need to recompile for device specific).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Turge:
Thanks Amarullz.. anything that comes from you will be pretty amazing. This Aroma Recovery sounds quite interesting.. looking forward to it!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
Re: [MOD][2.56] AROMA Installer :: 121004-031 :: Open Source

That's good to hear. I currently maintain AOSP and MIUI pre-5 for Xperia 2011 devices so support for them should come quickly. Many other devs port the Aroma Boot Menu to Xperia 2012 devices too so the Sony line should be covered :)

I am trying to build a installer for our new rom. It's based on latest Cm 4.2.1 for Samsung Galaxy STD (i9000). In the end of the script, when it's asked to reboot the device and start the rom sometimes I get the following:

aroma installer finished status 0

Of course there is no reboot. I have tried to use "reboot("now")" but it does the same thing :(. It seems it may be kernel related. It doesn't happen all the time, but our users are installing the ROM only once ;) so if it gets stuck it's a problem.

Hope there is some error I can fix to make this go away,

I have a Gtab 2 7" (P3110).I have made a mod with aroma installer,but the touchscreen don't work correctly with it.I cannot calibrate the screen because I don't have the menu button (only volume and on/off button).What can I do plz?

Use the latest version. Calibrate is deprecated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
Re: [MOD][2.56] AROMA Installer :: 121004-031 :: Open Source

Quite a few devices have bad/broken touch code with the latest prebuilt binary.

Isn't there a way to invoke calibration via script command? I'm sure I saw that in the sample script included. Did you run that?

I guess the calibration will start if you remove the calibration from aroma-config.

I think that's what did to calibrate the screen on my gtab 10.1 (7510)

Edit: You can also try to set a empty value.

calibrate("");

Its a known bug on some devices. Wait for new version. Or do this instead:

exec("sync");
exec("/sbin/reboot");

If you have a proper working CWM Ramdisk, that should work.

also any fonts that or different name than system name would need to be symbolic linked or renamed to the system font name to show up in font list (I do think)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
amarullz,

Will the initial Aroma CORE/Installer rewrite support dynamic script command arguments? Even if it was in a method to "include" another aroma script file from /tmp that would be good enough. E.g. I have a script that reads some directory on the device and echo's the results to a file in aroma syntax, to show a list of files in a selectbox (so it is dynamic generated based on current system) - then Aroma can execute this file and "include" the output file from exec() script afterwards to produce a dynamic menu screen.

Or is there a way to do this already with read() embedded in selectbox?

I think that is the single feature I would like to see most in Aroma Installer.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amarullz:
Re: [MOD][2.56] AROMA Installer :: 121004-031 :: Open Source

Its not a core, but installer feature. The "include" function in aroma script is main priority, you will be able to includes script from another files in zip or in filesystem (already have an idea and successful testing long before, but originally I think for script inside a zip only, but after i read your post. THAT WAS A BRILLIANT IDEA to also support include from filesystem).

I also still try to implemention dynamic items in selectbox, checkbox and menubox. The candidate that I think most easy and reliable is JSON.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amarullz:

It was standard hex color that also used in html and css. #rgb or #rrggbb. The values for subpixel (red, green, blue) is 0-F (0-15 decimal) for 3 format, and 00-FF (0-255 decimal) for 6 format. Higher value brighter the color, lower is darker.
