Some Information About AROMA Filemanager
The Codenames
AROMA Filemanager codename based on Alphabetical Traditional Indonesian Music Instrument. Here the list of already used codename:
ANGKLUNG - 1.00 - 1.2x
BONANG - 1.50
CALUNG- 1.80
DEGUNG GAMELAN- 1.90
​
Programming Language
It was application which runs on Android device but not on Android OS Environment that the native applications usually use Java. AROMA Filemanager use C (Pure C, not C++), so it may run on another platform like x86 linux with small modifications ofcourse.​
Used Libraries
ZLIB - ofcourse, it was the most awesome thing in computer world :good:
PNG
MinZIP
Freetype
All library need to compiled as static to make sure it runs without any dependency issue in any devices.​
Official Binary
I Only support ARM device, but it was opensourced, so anyone can play with the source and compiled it for they own devices.​

Is it possible to make a theme default or calibrate from a config file like AROMA Installers aroma-config calibrate("example...")?

Thanks for U friend...
i'm from Indonesia too, Semarang City

so great tried it, like in the past your Aroma Installer and this think is amazing. Used your Aroma Installer in every Rom, although it is more work for me than most of the other Rom Developer have when not including it, but this file manager is awesome.
is or will be a possibility to start it maybe in Aroma Installer. Having an option at the beginning with Installation, Device Infos, File Explorer ?

Great work mate! Nice to see someone who is as passionate about Android as you are
EDIT:
Could you post a scheme of how it works similar to what you did with the AROMA installer?

Will try and can this combine with aroma installer?
Another awesome work.
Edit-
Run well on my gal-young
But fail when create folder in root after reboot maybe its cause from kernel.
Font still too small for me after change to big font but not big problem.
Cant change permission and of course cant open file.
But i very satisfied with your work.
Thanks.

Thanks amarullz, another fine creation. Your style is unique! But I can't get if that is DEV only or we can use that when we want to do some file managing while in recovery?
By the way, I think I'd need some guidance: is it something you flash, use, reboot and gets flushed? Does it overwrite anything when you flash this? Sorry but infos are cryptic.

It wasn't for dev, but directly for user. Just run the zip, it will start the file manager, and you ready to managing your filesystem

testing and working great on samsung galaxy ace. it's very usefull when i flashing wrong framework/systemUI or another system apps i dont need to make original .zip just replace via this recovery filemanager. once again thank you masbro...

Is there anyway to incorporate this into an aroma install?

It would be nice if you can replace original/stock recovery with this one.... :hope...
But nice works mas...

Very nice just what I was looking for. Just a suggestion add perms change and I would remove the themes they are nice but don't really need em also maybe a text editor to mod build.prop etc. Thanks.

I will add chmod feature... Also if you don't need any themes, you can just extract the zip and remove unused themes "assets/themes" or icons, or etc, then zip it again.
I don't know about text editor,.. but will see if it possible...

Nice one just
Mount all by default
U need fm for mounted data or system
Long press on file some file information
The builprop edit sure needed
But again superb work m8

Thanks for fast reply. Looking forward too seeing chmod in future builds. Will test removing themes via zip what is the default theme and Icons so I don't delete them.
Also with a text editor if we mess up on a mod on build.prop or a init.d scrip it can be fixed then without needing a backup etc.

I haven't try it, but the logic may possible. Steps:
Copy "assets" directory of filemanager into your AROMA Installer environment, and copy and rename the AROMA Filemanager update-binary into your AROMA Installer assets folder (example: "META-INF/com/google/android/aroma/aromafm").
Create sh file (example: "META-INF/com/google/android/aroma/aromafm.sh"). with this content:
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
echo "ziplocation=${UPDATE_PACKAGE}" > /tmp/aroma/aromafm.prop
Then add something in aroma-config, when you want to start the aroma filemanager:
Code:
resexec("aromafm.sh");
resexec("aromafm","1","0",prop("aromafm.prop","ziplocation"));
Tell me if it works...
EDIT: Ok it works... try download my custom aroma installer in attachment, you can start the filemanager in the Installer Demo Menu.
NOTE:
The calibration will start when the filemanager start at first time. To make it don't show the calibration, you should save your cfg file.
Here the way.
* Run AROMA Filemanager (from this thread)
* Customize it as you need (calibration, set themes, set icons, add favorites)
* Exit
* Go to your sdcard and find the "aromafm.zip.cfg" (if your Aroma filemanager file was "aromafm.zip"
* Copy it to your AROMA Installer assets folder like "META-INF/com/google/android/aroma/aromafm.cfg"
* Modify the aromafm.sh with something like this:
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
# Save Zip Location
echo "ziplocation=${UPDATE_PACKAGE}" > /tmp/aroma/aromafm.prop
# Copy Configuration file
[B]cp /tmp/aroma/aromafm.cfg `echo "${UPDATE_PACKAGE}.cfg"`[/B]
Then to call in aroma-config:
Code:
[B]restotmp("aromafm.cfg","aromafm.cfg");[/B]
resexec("aromafm.sh");
resexec("aromafm","1","0",prop("aromafm.prop","ziplocation"));

[Tool][UPDATED v3.5] x-TOOLS - set of GUI-based android engineering tool [12/12/12]

Hello peeps,
I found myself a li'l bit lazy to decompile/re-compile apk files through a command line window each and every time by instructing it
So I decided to build a GUI version of apktool that will help me, and ofcourse others, to decompile and re-build apk files in just a single click.
UPDATED v3.5 with signapk, dex2jar and smali tools.
What is x-TOOLS?
x-TOOLS (previously known as x-APKTool) is a set of GUI-based android engineering tools.
x-TOOLS lets you do forward/reverse engineering in an easy and more convenient way. :good:
Features:
• One-click decompile apk file.
• One-click compile/re-compile edited apk file.
• One-click sign apk and update.zip file.
• One-click conversion of .dex file to .jar file and vice versa.
• One-click conversion of smali files to human readable form and vice versa.
• Detailed logs of output and error (if found).
• Save detailed log in text file.
• Keep recent files record for fast access.
• One-click install framework-res.apk to decompile and recompile stock/custom rom’s dependent apk files.
• One-click install SemGenericUxpRes.apk or resources.apk file.
• Working to build more new features…
Minimum requirements of x-TOOLS:
1. .net framework 3.5 or higher. Download here (if you are on Windows 7 or higher you don’t need to install it.)
2. JRE 1.6 or higher. Download here
NOTE: There was an old problem with Samsung Smali codes that gave error in baksmali process. So if you want to decompile your apk (extracted from Samsung devices), you have to first remove classes.dex file from apk using 7-zip/Winrar and then tried decompiling the apk.
Tested and suggested by aadroid.dev at here
Screenshot:
Attached at bottom of OP.
Changelog:
V3.5:
1. x-APKTool is now formally known as x-TOOLS.
2. Added GUI-based dex2jar tool.
3. Added GUI-based smali tool.
4. Added GUI-based separate apk and update.zip signing tool.
5. Added an option to select,copy and save detailed log in text file. (right click on log window to get these options)
6. Icon improved
7. Added (minor) Google licence info.
8. Fixed some minor bugs.
v1.5:
1. Added automatically signing apk after compilation.
2. Added more info about processing apk file.
3. Added more info about processing apk file.
4. Fixed path name and file name related issues.
5. Fixed a major bug that occurred while forcely decompiling apk file.

Changelog
v2.5.3
10th August 2015
Fixed the Addons page crashing. This only affected RomHut users... but the fix will affect users who's developers manually host their ROMs. I'm knee deep in the middle of work and a rewrite that will resolve these kinds of issues for good.
Fixed the OpenREcoveryScript InstallAfterFlash generation so that it generates properly and will install files as intended
Stripped whitespace from the OTA Urls just in case developers put some in there (they shouldn't, but it's happening :| )
v2.5.2
11th July 2015
Fixed download location bug
v2.5.1
29th June 2015
Fixed a serious FC when a ROM didn't have a default theme set in the build.prop (so, most people).
v2.5
29th June 2015
Fixed downloading from HTTP only links for manual users
Added the parsing of the download link's host and showing it in the available update activity screen
Fixed my own donation links always showing Coinbase!
Added the choosing of download location by developers (see the XDA thread instructions for this)
Added the ability for developers to choose the default theme (also see the XDA thread for this)
Changed the available update activity page to show the full download file title without stripping spaces
Fixed some more NullPointerExceptions for various methods
Used version name rather than filename for available update activity
Fixed the generation of ORS (@nicholaschum)
Added Pro/Donate button to the settings. This does nothing (Currently) just a donate button, but in future this will add some nice things for those who buy it and support development.
Added showing the current storage location in preferences to show users where downloads will go. Later this will be changed to allow users to change the download location

What's new?
New in v2.3 - Addons!
As of v2.3 you can provide additional ROM files via an addons page. If you have no addons provided, the page is hidden. To provide this, you can follow the instructions here. If you use RomHut to provide your updates, you need only use the upload feature of the website for Addons and the rest will show automatically, without you having to do anything.
How-to use
There are two ways you can use this in your ROM. Manually, or automatically with romhut.com. Romhut is highly recommended, as it will host your files for you, automate the process somewhat and it's free for users and developers.
RomHut
You should head over the Github instructions if free ROM hosting and automated OTA updates are your thing: https://github.com/Kryten2k35/OTAUpdates/blob/stable/Romhut.md
Manually
Equally, there are some Github instructions on how to do this manually also: https://github.com/Kryten2k35/OTAUpdates/blob/stable/Manually.md

Notes
Direct or HTTP links
Direct links must be exactly that, direct. They cannot include any kind of gateway or web page that requires you to click a button or there will be errors in any download. Generally, if you can just paste the link into an address bar and it starts to download, it's direct. Not everyone has access to to this kind of service, especially for ROMs as it can be bandwidth intensive, but for those that do, this is there for them.
This is why, alternatively, you can use HTTP links. In this case, the user's web browser will be opened instead.
No Icon
In the download link there is a "no Icon" option. This is an apk that does not have a launcher icon, for developers who wish to integrate the apk into the settings app, for instance. In which case, you need to know that the packagename is com.ota.updates and the classname is com.ota.updates.activities.MainActivity
Planned Features
Possibly GCM notifications

Usage
Anyone is free to use this project in their ROM. I only request that you keep the app about page in-tact leaving my credits in there. You don't have to, but it'd be nice if you did.
If you could shoot me a mention in your ROM thread, that'd be cool as well.

No news IS good news, the manifest check is good, I have yet to check anything else (download link, etc...). Thanks for sharing, good work.

What i am doing wrong?
this is my link to manifest https://www.dropbox.com/s/d4ghncsf1eadnhr/update_manifest.xml
this is lines i have add in buld.prop
Code:
ro.ota.romname=ARTROM
ro.ota.version=3.5
ro.ota.codename=stable
ro.ota.device=m7
ro.ota.manifest=https://www.dropbox.com/s/d4ghncsf1eadnhr/update_manifest.xml
It's checking few seconds and says no updates.
also tryed last line
Code:
ro.ota.manifest=https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/update_manifest.xml?_subject_uid=125764646&w=AADm0MlpSblydhht8LYX5_R84NIgT3S7dJOCYPnADxeHyw

Maybe this line instead: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d4ghncsf1eadnhr/update_manifest.xml?dl=1
Notice it says "?dl=1" at the end. I have to admit I have no experience using Dropbox for this (I use my webserver), but I know you can get direct links this way.

Now it says update available but downloading small 15.1kb zip file with rom name.
I found what is wrong, now all fine.

Any way to implement that in system like stock ota, or replace? CM like, don't know if s possible.

I'm not sure what you mean. This is supposed to be a system app and you as a ROM developer can provide your own OTA updates with it, if you have the right tools.

I mean implement in settings app, you wrote about no icon in 3 post, will that work on sony?

Absolutely
https://github.com/UltimaAOSP/platf...blob/kk-4.4/res/xml/settings_headers.xml#L196
Code:
<!-- UltimaControl Settings -->
<header
android:title="@string/ultima_settings"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_ultima_settings">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.ultima.settings"
android:targetClass="com.ultima.settings.SettingsActivity" />
</header>
That's how you'd do it. Obviously you should replace the strings and drawable with your own. The target package and class in the OP's It goes in the xml's for settings. I'vfe never had a Sony device so I don't know the exact layout, but for me that's in /Settings.apk/res/xml/settings_headers.xml

i tried now, but its complicated. Are there more lines to write in other file? It stops in compilingtime.

You probably need to match the strings, of course, and add a drawable/image of your choosing.

Everything seems working fine. The only md5 check always failed.

How can i release 2 or more OTA step by step?
For example i pushed first OTA with some additional and improvements. Then i want push 2nd OTA after some time. How to make users receive 1st OTA then 2nd OTA step by step?

The only way would be to have multiple manifests.
Say v1.0 has http://www.example.com/update/manifest_1.0.xml
Then v1.1 has http://www.example.com/update/manifest_1.1.xml
And v1.2 has http://www.example.com/update/manifest_1.2.xml
That way, anyone on v1.0 would update to 1.1, then 1.2. However, that's pretty inefficient, but it works.
You can also simply integrate v1.1 into the v1.2 update, that way anyone getting the v1.2 update also gets the v1.1 update as well. That's what I'd do.
Or, you can have a record of previous updates, and run an assert check in your installer script for an update checking the user is on the right version and directing them to a website to download the other updates.
I could bare this in mind and perhaps add some stuff to the xml about previous updates, but I don't want it to get too messy.

Thanks for reply. I also think about integrate previous update in each next, just think that each next OTA size increase.

Some of my OTA's are just full ROM downloads anyway, which is like 800MB+. Sometimes you just need to do this, I've found. This is why there's a setting to limit which data connection is being used. Not everyone has unlimited mobile data

That means for every Update or full rom a new xml. Correct me if im wrong.
The best method would be a check of higher number. U provide folder link in build.prop and it checks automatic if 1.1->1.2 by xml name.
I had tested in 1 xml with small zip by changing build nr, but it doesn't show anything -.-.

[TOOL] APKTool batch script v3.1 (batch files, signer, drag and drop)

Hello, I present a simple to use batch script for Compiling/Decompiling/Signing, focused on files drag and dropping.
Features:
.APKs decompilation
.APKs compilation
Automatic backup of previously compiled .APKs (single backup only)
Batch compiling/decompiling
Full drag and drop support, working with .APKs and folders simultaneously even from different directories
Optional integrated APK Signer (check "Prerequisites")
Interactive command line environment with different options available, minimal user interaction necessary
Multiple checks to avoid errors and any data loss
Compatible with spaces in filenames/paths
Very lightweight, the script itself:<10KB, combined with signer:<30KB
Prerequisites:
Apktool fully installed on "C:\Windows", all required device frameworks must be installed, too*
For signing support:
Download LtHuNTer_StepheN's apk_signer from here , and paste "mysigner.bat" into the tool's directory. Afterwards, replace "YOUR\PATH TO\APK Signer\mysigner.bat" from "APKTool v4.1 XDA.bat" (lines 63, 155, 161) with your own path. Note: The output (signed) .APK stays in /dist folder with no name change.
To enable zipaligning support, copy the included "zipalign.exe" & "myzipaligner.bat" to a location of your choice and then edit the following lines from "APKTool v4.1 XDA.bat": "YOUR\PATH TO\zipalign.exe\myzipaligner.bat" (lines 156, 162)
Working Java Runtime (check by entering "Java -version", without quotes, in command line)
How to use:
1.) Uncompress APKTool v3 XDA.zip. Copy "APKTool v3 XDA.bat" anywhere to the system (desktop is recommended for fast access, shortcut works too)
2.) Drag any APKs or a previously decompiled folders and drop it to "APKTool v4.1 XDA.bat" If a file is selected, it will be decompiled to the user selected folder. If a folder is selected, it will be compiled, creating a backup of the previously compiled (if any) in the process. Afterwards, if signing is supported, the batch script will ask if you want the file to be signed and automatically zipaligned. Any selected options will apply to every single selected file/folder for the session, unless otherwise selected.
3.) For signing and zipalign support, check above.
4.) You may use "copy.bat" to copy the compiled .apk from the decompiled folder to its root. Just drag and drop the folder containing "dist" to the batch file.
Check changelog on first post.
Fully tested on my PC running Windows 10. If you find any bug, please post the steps required to reproduce it. If you have any applicable suggestions, please let me know.
Don't reupload, modified or not, claiming it's yours.
Many thanks to LtHuNTer_StepheN for his signer.

Changelogs

beta: added multiple files drag and drop support
v1: added integration for APK signer
v2: added backup support, enhanced interactivity
v3: bugs polish, first public release
