Homebrew [RELEASE] Aroma Environment for Wii U

[Maschell]

Is there a way to preserve the Wii U Menu layout (the order of the icons) for all accounts?

When I change the layout with Aroma disabled it only persists on my main account (which is the first one on the list) but not for the other accounts on the console.

EDIT: homebrew_on_menu seems to be causing the issue, when I removed this plugin the changes for all accounts persisted, but now I'm unable to launch homebrews from the Wii U Menu. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT 2: As workaround you have to manually copy the Wii U Menu save files from the MLC to the sd:/wiiu/homebrew_on_menu_plugin to keep changes to the layout in sync. (should't this be done automatically for all accounts?)

I not exactly sure how to replicate this?
The first time you launch a account with Aroma, the save file is copied to the sd card. From now on, whenever you launch Aroma, this file will be used. When you don't launch Aroma, the one of the NAND is used. They never sync again, otherwise the placement of the .wuhb/.rpx files would be gone (thats the reason we do this save redirection in first place)

If you remove the files from sd:/wiiu/homebrew_on_menu_plugin/save and launch Aroma, when you select the first account on the list it will copy the layout from the NAND as expected (and as you said, it will only do it once), but for all other accounts that are not the first one on the list they never seem copy the layout from the NAND, they all start with the default layout order.

Thanks for the explaination and reporting.
Can you confirm it's fixed with this build?

The TV button is only blocked when you have the screenshot plugin mapped to any combo that contains the TV button

I now have coolboot with many working games on external hd.
If I switch to aroma and/or tiramisu are there any ticket problems for games that work for me on coolboot?

Master, are we going to see an HIDtoVPAD version for aroma?

Ok, so help me out if I'm not getting this strait. So about the feature with ".ignore" So I have one app in both formats, rpx and wuhb. Let's take NUSspli for an easy example. The wuhb is in the root "wiiu" folder and the rpx in "wiiu/nusspli/.ignore" I want the rpx to be hidden in Aroma, but I'd still like it to be in Homebrew Launcher in Tiramisu. But having it this way, its hidden in Honebrew Launcher. Am I to understand it that I can only have it one way or the other? Hidden in Aroma and Tiramisu, or visable in both? I'm just trying to understand how I can make this feature work for me. Thanks.

Edit: Found my answer here.

I've returned to the WiiU after some time away - prompted by my daughter asking to play Mario Kart 8!
This has prompted me to relook at the custom firmware option and experiments with Aroma. Thank you for the fantastic work. I'm really enjoying the automatic parsing of .wuhb files to channel/menu.

I'd like to donate and buy you a coffee, however cannot find a link.

Thanks for the link - I meant a donation/coffee for Maschell. When Tiramisu was released I was able to buy him a coffee, however I can't remember how and can't find any links.

Oh yeah, you're right. That link seems to have disappeared.

Anyone have an issue where the TV is detected as the gamepad and viceversa? I have not this issue in Tiramisu, only in Aroma after using the "controllertest.rpx" app.
SwipSwapMe Plugin was the issue.

I recently stopped to accept any form of donations. If you have any diposable income you could donate to GaryOderNichts or a charity of your choice instead
