This is really amazing

Good idea, but source code quality makes me cry

I've read through the OP and scripts from several ROMs but I must be missing the answer to one very basic question. In aroma.config for the page titles:

"SD-EXT Mods","",2,

What does the "" and 2 do in this line? Also why in some scripts do I see in updater-script for checkbox items on the first page of several being designated item.0.x and in some scripts the first page items are designated item.1.x - why do page numbers start 0 in some cases and 1 in others?

Like I said, basic questions but I can't seem to find the logic anywhere.

that 2 means the SD-EXT Mods will be in the black menu that you see

like a heading for the next items to choose



check boxes with one heading seem to have item.0.x and check boxes with more than one heading have item.1.1 for first heading ,item.2.1 for second heading,item.3.1 for third heading etc...

Thanks Carl So where do I find a list of the options for that variable then? And also, any idea what the empty quotes are for ("" before the 2)?

I have no idea why, other than just code for the aroma's update-binary to use to signal what is what, I never looked at the source code for arroma installer, maybe there is doc's there like the kernels sources have

K, just found most outstanding answers in the source code examples on GitHub - only place I hadn't looked previously. Slightly confused by this though:

# show_progress(0.2, 400);
#    show_progress( progress size, number of files to be extracted );
#    if we had 50 files, and want to "add" 0.2 into progress after all finished
#    use (0.2, 400)

So how does the 50 files relate to the 400 variable there then? I have checked in the Runnymede AIO scripts and can see these examples:

set_progress(0.2);
show_progress(0.2,953);

set_progress(0.4);
show_progress(0.05,60);

so am I right in reading it that the show_progress will gradually increase the progress bar by 20% (0.2) as the 953 files extract (and 5% as the subsequent 60 extract)?

I think 0.05 is a lot less than 5% , I made F's in math LOL (0.05,60)

LOL, nope 1.0 = 100% therefor 0.05 = 5%

thanks for correcting me
