It is a flashable zip package

Aroma File Manager is a recovery file manager that allows you to access and manage system files while your device is in recovery mode. It is not a regular app, but a flashable zip package. This means that it needs to be flashed onto your device using a custom recovery tool such as TWRP, Philz, or CWM Recovery. Once flashed, the file manager will load, and you can perform tasks such as copying, cutting, deleting, and creating new folders.

To use the Aroma File Manager, you need to first download the flashable zip package. The latest version of the file manager is v1.91, and the zip package is named aromafm-1.91.zip. You can also download the beta version, which is aromafm-2.00b7.zip.

After downloading the zip package, you need to copy it to the internal storage of your device. Do not copy it inside any folder. Next, boot your device into recovery mode. From the recovery mode, choose "Install" or "Install Zip from SD Card" and select the Aroma zip package.

Once the file manager is loaded, you can perform your desired tasks. If you want to exit the Aroma File Manager, simply click on the settings icon and click on the exit button.

It is important to note that the Aroma File Manager is temporary. This means that every time you want to use it, you need to flash it again via a custom recovery tool. Additionally, make sure to have a backup of your important data before using this file manager.
