When you install Linux, Windows, Mac or applications on the PC
You can always customize your installation as you want.
WHY CAN't WE DO THE SAME INSTALLING AN ANDROID ROM?
BECAUSE NOW
AROMA Installer
GIVES YOU THIS POSSIBILITY!
One Month Developing & Testing - Still Needs Improvements
In fact, I am just a newbie at Android development, I have only known about Android for about four Months
(I Have only owned an HTC Desire)
So please support me with bug reports, suggestions, and testing on other devices
YOU DON'T NEED TO USE TOUCH RECOVERY TO MAKE THE TOUCH SCREEN WORKS
If your Recovery Kernel include Touch Screen Driver, even if the recovery not supported touch screen, it will works.
And Almost any recovery included touch screen driver in its kernel (Except some trimmed versions)

Benefits For Users
AROMA Installer gives users the possibility to choose which mods and applications they want to Install on to their device. Sometimes we want the clean install, without bloatware; and sometimes we want the full set of applications on our device. With AROMA Installer, you are your phone's master!
Benefits For Chefs/Developers
AROMA Installer gives chefs many benefits:
You don't ever again have to hear someone ask to remove or include something they like into your ROM, just for you to yell "Hey, that is only your opinion! Only you and some other people like it; most people don't! Go remove the apps on your own with WINRAR, you ^$#&*&#$", remember they are still a customer , and with AROMA Installer, this problem can be solved.
If you are good at customizing the AROMA Installer it was possible to make your ROM compatible with many devices using just one ROM File. You save your time, bandwith and hosting maintanance.
With the great user interface in your ROM installation, users will be very happy with it.
With AROMA Installer, You Are The Greatest ROM Developer

Open Source?
There may be some people who will ask if the project is Open Source, and the quick answer is YES. It is an Open Source Project Now.
Why Release The Source?
I used some other work (modified) from the Open Source Community, especially Koush's recovery source code for getting the input mode, PNG, ZLIB, and some Framebuffer programming samples.
I want to make all chefs feel safe, so I guarantee that I won't make this into a money making program.
I got something from the community, and I want to give something back to it.
What Benefits?
Rapid development
I can get code review & patches - Not just bug reports
There are many innovations that I wrote in the program that may be useful for other needs, like the AROMA Graphic Framebuffer, the AROMA UI, the Amarullz Dithering Method, and the AROMA Simple PNG Fonts. It may be used in recovery, so recovery can use the AROMA Installer Interface
I can learn more about Open Sourcing programs (especially the CVS and licensing things - that always drive me to the question - what is it?)
