Hi everyone..

I'm new for android developing, so it is my first attempt in making a ROM..

So my problem I'm pretty sure it is in META-INF folder..

After I have configured aroma installer things, and everything is done in the ROM.. I tried to flash it but it gives an error (which means aroma installer did not start) , I saw the log but it seems like it didn't flash anything, it just gave that there is an error in the zip.. So it's a META-INF problem..I think..

So anyone have an idea of what I forgot to do?

Sorry If this the wrong section..

What error does it give? Can you post the recovery.log?

Also, make sure you do not replace the update-binary with one for your device because that one is a modded binary that starts up AROMA. You CAN, however, replace the update-binary-installer with the update-binary for your device (renaming to update-binary-installer of course), because thats the one that actually gets called by AROMA to parse your updater-script


And if you have signature checking enabled did you make sure to sign it?

I have got a zip file after unpacked got the apk whiche I need then added the apk to system.img , but the apk can't run after I have installed the ROM , I think cuz of the META-INF folder problem still don't know how to solve it

you ve got to check your updater and aroma installer for typos.
Even a comma prevent aroma form starting.
You have to keep in mind that recovery first run all scripts inside aroma and then display them unless you make an option error whch will gives you the error right befor page display..
A common issue to most new builders is the comma on all options of aroma.Last option has to end without it..
As pervious said you have to provide the error number.


Hope that helps

it sounds like a binary problem :p aroma runs the updater script through aroma, but if aroma doesnt even start it would have something to do with aroma-config or corrupt aroma binary
