Yes, only angular-cli.json references it for handling the startup of the application.

main.ts is not a module but a simple script-file, executed from top to bottom and can have any other file-name.

The only other thing that affects it as a .ts file, is tsconfig.json, which handles the transpilation to javascript. but it does so by the *.ts file-name pattern not by referencing files individually.

If you like to customise the layout then you got to build one from scratch. You would have to use the native apis, MediaStore on Android / PhotoKit on iOS to read available image list and wrap them on your own layout.

The syntax self.$name is correct to access the member variable. As @oli_obk-ker said in the question's comment, the error is due to using Some instead of Some(pattern).

Yes. This approach is correct. This is singleton pattern you are following. As static variable is the right way always, since its the single state you want to maintain everywhere.

Also it is safe, as long as your application never runs in multiple processes. there's a strict one to one ratio of application per process.

I am also using this in my all applications.
