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.
Thank you for answering!!

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

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

I've been wanting to try the kitchen out to see if I can try deodexing and zipaligning etc on the stock touchwiz ROM I'm running.
Do you think it would work? (despite it being discontinued)
yes it works still, works on ics & jellybean (i use it myself to deodex and zipalign)

Yes dxixda kitchen works but you will need to add another file with gs3 parameters in the edify_defs folder with name m0..still the updater-script does not work . It gives me errors in the installing boot.img stage.. . Anyways you can use the kitchen to create your rom and then package your rom manually using updater-script and update-binary from some other working rom.. Then sign it..
If you or anyone finds a solution to that problem do let us know..

Deodexing will work just fine..no probs..some times you might get an error with one or two apps..just use the option to deodex a single app and you will be good to go..
:good:
Edit:
Most important change the api level to 16 before deodexing..
just make a copy of your zipped rom, drop it into the working folder, deodex the files you want to and then pull those files out of the working folder and drop them into the original rom zip folder (minus the original odexed files)
no need to change anything, no need to drop new files in or mess with update script
as you will use your existing update script/meta inf folder blah blah blah, it means you can say yes to the mods the kitchen wants to make as you will only be taking the deodexed files from there, nothing else
(does that make sense? - im guessing you will ignore this anyway like my previous post))

Sorry for dragging out an old thread but I thought I would have a go with this. I have the kitchen installed, I have put I9300XXDLI5_I9300OXADLI5_I9300XXDLI5_BTU.zip in the original_update and have the m0 file in tools/edify_defs
I then try and extract the ROM but I get an error Error: No system folder found!
How can I not even get started? I must be missing something basic here!

Can't I start with the ODIN file of the leaks? It must have a system image in it? Where do you start with this? I thought a whole flashable ROM would be ideal.

Extract the tar file and put the system.ext4.img and boot.img in the update folder.. Then Dxixda kitchen will recognize it..

Oh yeah, I forgot, the system.img must be coverted from yaffs img to an ext4 file. I believe the utility is called ext2fs (or something like it)
Dsixda's tool should provide that program anyhow.
Well I unzipped the ROM and untarred the md5 and then it at least got me started. I am now just working out what I can do and what I need to get. Thanks for your help.

Greetings,
This is my first thread and post here at this community.
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII with the beta firmware I9300XXELK4_I9300OJKELK5_ILO. I've read at this forum about an APK that can be used to add more programs to the native MutiWindow View that this FW has. At the same topic it is written that you have to use some odexe or deodexe.
Actually i dont know what is odexe or deodexe and i dont know how to install it on my device.
Can someone please help me and guide about how to install it properly.
Thank you very much!

If you did flash the original leak it will be most likely odexed (as mine is), deodext are usually all the custom roms (stock and others) as it is easier for modifications. You can also Google and will find a lot of explanations.

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?

Have a look at a working updater-script and you will see a huge difference
For example you need a command like

More set perms and mounting/unmounting system. Please check out a "real" updater-script :good:

delete extension
but the best way is open one of the updater-script (download any flashable zip) and edit with notepad++
(be sure you edit with notepad++ othervise you will see status6 error when flashing)
Hello Guys!
I am back with my new and great boot-animation for our only Xperia SP!
This is a great and amazing boot-animation
With the logo of Xperia SP a pure white essence just beautify's the phone's look with the X Box logo
It's just amazing
I have attached 3 screenshots which I guess are more than enough for you!
Rest you need to see when you try
This is an aroma flashable file so just boot into recovery and install this amazing boot animation
Some special feautres
* It has sound which intensifies the amazing experience of this boot animation
* It is in potrait mode i.e. You have it in vertical screen
* It is a flashable file. No need to carry all the manual setting like copying, setting permission bla bla. Just download, reboot in recovery, install and enjoy
Q:- I am just loving it, want to try NOW! But how to install it with keeping my current (or original) bootanimation safe!
You just need to go to root of your phone via root explorer the migrate to "/system/media/" there you will find your current or stock bootanimation.zip file. Just copy it and save it to someplace safe.
Then reboot into recovery and install my bootanimation!
Warning : No bricked devices should be blamed at me! Install at your own risk. Recommendation is to always keep a nandroid backup ready!

Though it is purely SAFE! But in-case you know if any mishap happens.
Please hit thanks for this great bootanimation..!
Here is the download link : https://app.box.com/s/quf3wpea5b54vcivdcv0
Request : Every work I do I need resources and currently I am working on various projects along with this bootanimation projects like building a beautiful and super sexy and fast ROM (4.4.4) with all the options to edit your own ROM as you wish from customizing battery icon to it's system tray and everything without any third party software! I am creating manual themes that would be provided with the ROM. Me alone as a developer it takes pretty much time and resources to build them eg I had my phone hard bricked just for trying my first bootanimation I made and I lost all my data in case of recovering it and it costed a lot of money too as Sony Service Center had to repair it. Please consider a small donation to me as it would help me to get my resources as I try every project before I release and ensure that you don't feel any bugs and it will also encourage me to develop more projects for future.If you have problem in donating then wait for sometime as my PayPal doesn't opens for all but do try at a later time. Thanks in advance

Was about to port an xbox boot animation and wham you beat me to it. Amazing work but the only problem I see with the boot animation is that xperia sp image. The font just doesnt suit the xperia sp design. Change the typography and ill be using this everyday

Btw you should add the instruction to change the downloaded zip to bootanimation.zip and chnage its permissions
That Xperia SP screen is original.
And it's flashable zip so need to set permission or anything

Do you have any custom ROM for your device?
If yes then open it and you'll find the first folder named as meta-inf
