Using Aroma Installer: No Touch Screen, No Problem

AROMA, or Android Rom Manifestation, is a tool that allows users to install a Custom ROM on their Android phones. It was developed to address the need for customisation during the ROM installation process. While usually, one would have to use the volume and power keys to navigate through the installation process, Aroma Installer allows users to use the touchscreen. However, some users have reported issues with the touchscreen functionality, with buttons working but the touchscreen not responding. This appears to be a driver problem in Aroma.

Ensure you have the correct recovery for your device

To ensure you have the correct recovery for your device, you must first understand what AROMA Installer is and how it works. AROMA stands for Android Rom Manifestation and is a ROM installer with full touch screen capabilities for Android ROMs. It allows you to install Custom ROMs with the customisations you want, choosing the Mods and applications you want to install with the ROM.

To ensure you have the correct recovery, you must check the compatibility of AROMA Installer with your device. AROMA Installer is a tool that is touch-enabled, so you can use the touch screen during installation. However, there have been reports of touchscreen issues on some devices after updating Aroma Installer. It is important to check that your device is compatible with the version of Aroma Installer you are using to avoid such issues.

Additionally, AROMA Installer uses the programming language C, so it may require modifications to run on certain platforms. It is designed to support ARM devices, but the open-source nature of the software allows for customisation for other devices.

Before proceeding with AROMA Installer, it is essential to verify that your device is compatible with the specific version you intend to use. This will help ensure a smooth installation process and prevent potential touchscreen issues.

Check for a driver problem

Aroma Installer is a tool that allows users to install a Custom ROM on their Android devices. It is touch-enabled, meaning that users can employ the touchscreen when installing a Custom ROM.

Using the Device Manager

• Press the Windows logo key and the "R" key at the same time to open the Run dialog box.
• Type "devmgmt.msc" into the box and hit "Enter" to launch the Device Manager.
• Scan the list for any items with a yellow exclamation mark. This indicates that your computer does not recognize a device because its drivers are missing or incorrect.
• If you find a driver with an exclamation mark, right-click on it and select "Update Driver" from the context menu.
• Choose whether you want to install the driver automatically or select a pre-downloaded driver from your PC.

Using Windows Driver Verifier:

• Type "Verifier" in the Run Command box and press Enter to open the Driver Verifier.
• Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next."
• Create custom settings by checking all boxes except "Randomized low resource simulation" and "DDI compliance checking," then click "Next."
• Select "Automatically select all drivers on this computer" and click "Finish."
• Your computer will now prompt you to restart; click "Ok" and manually start your computer.
• Once restarted, the Driver Verifier will run in the background. Please note that this phase may take some time, and you can use your system as normal during this period.
• If any errors are found within the drivers, make a note of the error and its details.
• You can then choose to update, roll back, or reinstall the driver.
• If you wish to exit the Driver Verifier, you must deactivate it manually. To do this, run the following cmdlet in an elevated Command Prompt: verifier /bootmode resetonbootfail. Then, restart your computer.

Using Third-Party Tools:

You can also use third-party tools like DriverAgent to check for bad or outdated drivers. These tools can scan your system, identify problematic drivers, and provide updates for them. However, always download software from trusted sources and exercise caution when granting permissions.

Try flashing a different ROM

If you're unhappy with the stock OS on your Android device, you can install a modified version of Android, known as a ROM. A new ROM can bring you the latest version of Android, replace your manufacturer-modded version of Android with a clean, stock version, or beef up your existing version with awesome new features.

Step One: Unlock Your Bootloader and Flash a Custom Recovery

• You don't need to root your phone to flash a ROM, but you do need to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery.
• This process usually goes hand-in-hand with rooting, and most custom ROMs come with root access.
• Check sites like XDA Developers for instructions specific to your phone model.

Step Two: Make a Backup of Your System, Apps, and Data

• Before making any big changes to your system, it's important to back up your data.
• First, make a Nandroid backup, which is an image of your current system. This will allow you to restore your phone to its previous state if something goes wrong.
• You can also make a second type of backup: your apps and settings. This can be done using Titanium Backup, which will allow you to easily restore your apps and data after flashing the new ROM.

Step Three: Download and Flash the New ROM

• Find the ROM you want to install and download it to your phone. It should come in the form of a large ZIP file.
• Reboot your phone into Recovery mode.
• Head to the "Install" or "Install ZIP from SD Card" section of your recovery.
• Navigate to the ZIP file you downloaded and select it to begin the flashing process.
• Wait for the process to complete, which may take a few minutes.

Step Four: Wipe Your Data and/or Cache (if needed)

• If you're flashing a ROM different from the one you're currently running, it is recommended to wipe your data and cache, which will perform a factory reset on your phone.
• If you're upgrading your existing ROM, you may be able to get away with just wiping the cache, allowing you to keep all your apps and settings.

Step Five: Download and Flash Google Apps (if needed)

• Custom ROMs cannot bundle Google's apps like Gmail, Hangouts, or the Play Store.
• Download and flash the latest Google Apps package separately. You can find the appropriate ZIP file on RootzWiki or use the Gapps Manager app.

After following these steps, you should be all set with your new ROM!

Use volume and power keys to navigate

If you don't have a touchscreen, you can use the volume and power keys to navigate when using Aroma Installer. This is a tool that people can use to install a Custom ROM on their Android device.

The volume buttons on an Android smartphone can be used for more than just lowering and raising the volume. You can make them do almost anything, from launching apps to scrolling through webpages. For example, you can use your volume buttons to launch an application, which is a great way to save home screen space and quickly access your favourite app. You can also wake your device with a volume key, making it easier if your power button is weak or broken.

If you are using Aroma Installer, you can navigate through the installer with the volume and power keys. This is how you would usually navigate through apps that require you to install a Custom ROM.

Aroma Installer gives you the possibility to customise the ROM installation. You can choose what Mods or applications you want to install together with the Custom ROM. This is beneficial for ROM developers as they can include all their mods and tweaks and let the Android users choose their preferences.

Use a different touchscreen

Aroma Installer is a tool that people can use to install a custom ROM on their Android device. It is touch-enabled, meaning that you can use the touchscreen when installing.

If you are using a different touchscreen, here are the steps to set up multiple touch screens in Windows 10:

• Connect an external keyboard to your PC.
• Ensure that Windows is set to extended desktop mode for the second monitor. You can do this by pressing Windows Key + P.
• Open the Start Menu and search for "Control Panel".
• Within the Control Panel, select "Hardware and Sound".
• Choose "Tablet PC Settings".
• Follow the on-screen instructions to identify and set up each touchscreen. You will be asked to "Touch this screen to identify it as a touchscreen". If it is not a touchscreen, press Enter.
• Repeat the above step for each additional touchscreen.
• Once all monitors are accounted for, the application will close. You can now test if the touch functionality works on each screen.
• Restart your computer and verify that the touch functionality still works on all screens.

It is important to note that you cannot use the touch functionality of all screens simultaneously. Additionally, the above procedure may differ slightly depending on your Windows version.
