Size of Aroma ROMs

[ThaiDai]

I just started uploading some ROMs with Aroma Installer and this takes a lot of time.
So I started looking at the size of the files:

ROMS with Aroma installer:
Chrack's ROM: 960 MB
Alba's ROM: 930 MB
Criskelo's ROM: 680 MB

Compare this with "normal" ROMs:
Stock ROMs: 650-700 MB

CM ROMs:
CM9/10 ROMs: 150-200 MB (incl. GApps)

Right now I'm waiting for the first Aroma ROM > 1 GB.
I like the possibility of choosing my flavour of ROM, but I think they are getting too big.

These are Note Roms. So the bigger the better. :cyclops:

As long we have fast download servers im not worried at all. Even if they were twice as big as now.
Just not fair for ppl with lame internet connection.

Aroma is about being able to choose options when installing, this means aroma roms are always going to be bigger then their vanilla counterparts, if the base is the same and not trimmed down.

Dont see the issue here

Aroma works not all the time, always getting stuff on my phone that i do not want, better to upload the rom and flash zips with the things you want. I want a light rom and the rest i paste in my system folder if i want. Theme and kernel you can leave out, always flash with root kenrel so i have root, theme i flash afterwords. That will make it much lighter. Theme is about 40 mb. I think the developer should just upload his rom how he likes it. If you not like than flash something else.
