Information

Using the Aroma Installer

This is a quick guide to using the Aroma Installer since this highly customized version may be slightly different from what you have used before.

Looks complicated, but is super easy. And I think you will appreciate the ability to customize your set-up without having to re-install the ROM.

Enjoy!

Be sure to select your carrier!

Installation:
Nandroid backup
Factory reset in recovery if coming from a non-TouchWiz ROM (backup internal SD Card contents first)
Flash in recovery (button or touch)
Aroma installer should start within ~5 seconds

Choose a theme (if the colors look borked, go back and choose the theme again).

After agreeing to the disclaimer and viewing the changelog, Choose either:

Install or Update ROM - Installs ROM
or
Add or Remove Features - Allows you to add or remove apps, launchers, etc without re-installing the ROM.
________________

Install or Update ROM:
Choose either:
Full Wipe - Clean install wipes system, cache, Dalvik, and app & system data (no media, etc).
or
Update Wipe - Wipes system, cache, Dalvik (for current CSROM users only)

Choose desired options.
If you don't choose a launcher, the TW launcher will be installed.
If you install both AOSP and Samsung email you will get repeated FC's.
You can install both launchers and decide which one to use after boot.

________________

Add or Remove Features:
Be sure to select everything you want included in the ROM, even if it is already installed on your device.
If any given item is not selected, it will either not be installed, or deleted if it is already installed.

________________

Additional Info
If at any point Aroma hangs, hold the power button until device reboots recovery (10-15 seconds).

If install completes and you get a "Status 0" error after pressing "Reboot" in Aroma, just reboot the device.​

Using the ROM

Currently Not Working
Some widgets don't work with some launchers
AOSP Lockscreen - camera and Google Now icons don't unlock screen
AOSP texting breaks MMS conversations in to separate messages
Quick Reboot not working
23 Toggle Mod: Some toggles don't work properly (talk to lidroid or wanam)
Group texting is not fully functional


RAZR Launcher and Circle Widget
Tapping the circles launches clock app, weather app, and battery stats
Swipe circles to flip them
Clock circle displays text notifications
Home screen is left most screen (not center)
Slide home screen right to see quick settings
Circle widget currently only works with RAZR launcher
Lockscreen wallpaper can not be changed with this launcher

AOSP Lockscreen:
When using the AOSP lockscreen you must de-select all other lockscreen options.

Multi-Window:
Press and hold the back button until menu bar pops up
Tons of videos on YouTube

Using the lockscreen torch:
The lockscreen torch will allow you to quickly turn on your flashlight from the lockscreen.
Simply push the home button in for torch, it will go off when you unlock, hit the power button, or it times out.​

Themes
The themes are set up so it should be possible to easily switch from one to the next. If you find any remnants of the previous theme left behind, or any other issues, please report them. Providing screenshots is important because it is much easier than trying to describe the issue with words.​


Reporting Bugs
This ROM has many options to choose from which can complicate resolving issues. Below is information you must provide if you wish to report a problem. If you do not include this information I will most likely not respond to your issue.
1) Did you do a clean install? If not, do not report any bugs.
2) Carrier
3) Options you chose during install
4) Kernel
5) Are you using Smart Network, Connection Optimizer, etc.​

What about Telus Canada?
I would suggest you try. Make a nandroid and do the same as you would for other at&t ROMs. Certainly can't hurt :)

EDIT: checked other carom thread and didn't see it working for them but this is a different base. In say still try...nothing to loose.
