Problem with ATPlugininstaller....

I have an interesting problem with ATPlugininstaller.
I installed chome editor v1.6 on my wm6.5 device.
At first it was working fine, and I created 2 plugins using it.
THEN, I decided to add the "day of the week" to the clock panel, by placing code directly in the titanium.cpr files.
Well, the weekday was added successfully, BUT now, I CAN'T use chome editor to create new panels, and I CAN'T install any plugin that uses the ATinstaller.
Whenever I try to do either, I get:
"An unexpected error occurred in ATplugininstaller
ATplugininstaller.exe unauthorized access exception
At System.IO._Error.WinIO error()
At System.IO.FileStream..ctor
At System.IO.FileStream..ctor
At System.Xml.XmlTextWriter..ctor
At System.Xml.XmlDOMTextWriter..ctor
At System.Xml.Xmldocument.save
At ATPlugininstaller.Main.AddLayout to cpr()
At ATPlugininstaller.Main.Main ()
As I said
, I get this same message when I try to create a new panel or add any cabs that require the plugin.
However, the panels I already created and the plugins I already installed still work fine.
My question is, why? My manually adding the code into the cpr files to show "day of the week" on the cclock panel is no different than the entries the installer makes when I install a plugin, or create one using Chome editor.
I know, I've looked thru the cpr file content. So, why does the installer crash AFTER I add the code for "day of the week" to the cpr files?
Can someone please help? Thanks.

Moved, nothing to do with development.

Ok then where do I put it? The ATplugininstaller thread IS in this developmen section, so I beg to differ with you.
I put it out here after getting no response to my inquiry in that thread.
This is one responsive board, out of 10 or so inquiries I've posted, I've only received 2 responses, all from from the author of one sw.
This is a real HELPFUL board,, I've got to say.
And, my inquiry, to remind you, HAS to do with development because I'm creating panels in Titanium using xml.
If the particular sw in question is in this section, then my inquiry as to why it crashes deserves to be here.
I guess it doesn't matter, the members on this board are of no help whatsoever. It's a waste of time to even post.
If I sound frustrated, it's because I am. I have no desire to get flamed, but I need help, and no one even answers.

No need to get frustrated .
Your thread does not belong to the development and hacking forum, that foum is please read the rules of D&H here.
Someone can only help you if they know the solution to your problem, no need to blame the users or the forum itself. Posting in the wrong section will not be helpful to you and will add to our work.
And if you really think posting here is a waste of time, why bother posting ?.
I have moved your thread to Q&A forum, which is regularly visited by developers and people with great knowledge in this field, patience is the key; not blaming the users of the board or being sarcastic.
As far as development goes, you are welcome to post your work ( pannels for titanium ) when they are ready, but not questions.
Hope you calm down, and not repeat such bursts of frustration. You could consider this a warnning.
Please read this carefully:
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.

I do understand your need for help, but calm down and have patience, try searching or contacting XML writers/developers.
Hope you co-operate.

Understood. I had to do some venting because of all the nonresponses. Can you at least tell me where you moved my post, or did you just delete it? Thank you.

Thank you for your co-operation.
It has been moved to question and answers senction under the general section.
Many people come by here, surely someone will answer; if they have a solution.
madnish30.

just try it with TICS instead of ATPluginInstaller
(link in my signature)
there you don't need a hardcoded .plg and you have the possibility for pre-/postinstall scripts.
Also more definite error message, if you get in trouble.

[Q] Off topic but don't want to have another lost thread in some other forum...

I always thought the foums here at XDA were little counter-intuitive at times as far as navigation, but it never really mattered that much.... However, now I am stuck and cannot seem to do something rather simple... I dunno maybe I am tired.... but I thought I would ask so this doesn't become an obstacle.
I am trying to find all of my posts in this forum (HTC One-S). I didn't see an option, so I went to one of the sub-forums (like this one: One S General). Under advanced search, I entered my username in the correct place ("Find posts by..."). The result is 40 or so threads...but each thread has anywhere from 8 to 95 pages. I appreciate the helpful information to the left of each thread stating "you have X posts in this thread".... but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to bring up those posts.
[Also, I now see the widget icon next to Search All Forums on the Main Forum page... maybe I can search individual forums though that.]
But can someone tell me how to do a search which results in a page of only my posts????
Thanks in advance...!

On the advanced search page there is an option that lets you "show results as posts". It will show individual posts instead of threads.
Edit: nevermind they seem to have drastically simplified the advanced search and removed a lot of options. Try going to your profile page and the "Statistics" tab, then click "find all posts by syntropic".

Scroll to the top of the XDA Website where it says Welcome, "_______" <------ your name. Click on your name. Your profile should come up in the "About me" part of your profile. Scroll down toward the middle park of your profile and click on "Statistics". There should be a list that comes up. Click on "Find all posts by ______" (Your name)..

Thread Closed​
This is not the place to ask this! Just use the statistics tab in your profile, it will show you all of your posts with a marker on which forum they were posted. You could of even PMed one of the moderation team, we are here to help.​

[Guide] How to Use XDA Forums And Threads: For [New Members]

I have had many people ask questions about how to use this website, so i thought i would take the time to make a guide to help out newer members that may be confused or overwhelmed by the wealth of information here. Hopefully this will help you to make a quick transition from a new member to an experienced member. I am basing this off of the website version (Dark theme 2015) on PC as it seems to be the most confusing for people. If you are using the mobile site, or app, then some of these options may not be available or may be located in a slightly different place. I have also left a few things out for the sake of simplicity. After reading this thread feel free to ask any questions that you have and i will try my best to clear things up. Some of the things we will discuss are...
~Settings
~How to set up your profile and preferences
~How to make friends
~How to graduate to a Member, Senior Member, and more
~How to make a signature
~What does my profile look like to others?
~Notifications
~How to change thread display options
~How to change the theme
~How to keep up to date with interesting threads
~How to find your previous posts
~XDA forum rules
~How to search for what you are looking for
~Your device page
~How to find the right download for your device in threads
~How to get help when you cant find the threads or answers that you are looking for
~How to post, reply, give thanks, etc. in threads
~How to rate threads and participate in polls
~How to report bad behavior
~How to attach photos to a thread
~How to donate to developers
~XDA Assist
~How to start a new thread
~Sending private messages

~And more!
​
Settings:​I think setting this up first is best. Click on settings button near the top right of your screen. Then you will find the XDA control panel on the left. Here you can setup/edit your XDA experience. Now we will take a look at some of the options available in "Settings"...​
Edit Your Details​
Here you will find a quick link to change the email affiliated with your XDA account or change your password. You can also add information that will show up to others when they view your profile such as your birthday, what device you are using, your personal website link, how to instant message you on other messaging networks, links to your social media accounts, the phone carrier that you are using, what city and country you are from, a short biography of yourself, your interests and hobbies, your work occupation, and how to donate to you (if you think your contributions to XDA will be worth a donation).​
Profile Privacy​
Here you can edit what information you will allow others to see about you just in case you would like to keep some information more private.​
Edit Profile Picture​
Here you can add/edit a profile picture by either uploading a photo from your computer or phone, or entering a link to a photo from another website that you use such as dropbox.​
Contacts & Friends​
Here you can select XDA users to add to your contacts or friends list. You can also find information on how to delete contacts here.​
Social Groups​
Here you can search for social groups to join or start your own social group. Social groups are usually a grouping of people that have the same device, same interests, same cultural background, etc.​
Pictures & Albums​
Here you can add picture albums to upload photos to for sharing with others here on XDA.​
Edit Avatar​
Here you can add a photo that will appear under your username whenever you make a post.​
Edit Signature​
Here you can add/edit a signature (text and/or photo) that will appear at the bottom of every post you make. You can hover over edit options with your cursor to see a description of what they do (like change color of text, change size of text, etc.). You can highlight a part of your signature and select an edit option to change only that part. For a complete guide to all the cool things you can do in a signature, go here! Things that would be great to include in your signature would be your device model number, which ROM version you are using (stock is what came on your phone from the store, and custom ROM is like Cyanogenmod or other aftermarket ROM that was flashed by you or previous owner of device), which kernel version you are using, which android version you have (like 4.4.2 or 5.1.1), which baseband version you are using, which recovery version you are using (stock is what came on your phone from the store, and custom recovery is like Clockworkmod, team win recovery project, etc), any additional custom framework or modules that have been added to your device (like Xposed, Lspeed, etc. Do not list apps), or anything else that you think is important related to your device. If you are unsure, most of this info is available in android settings-about phone. Entering this info will help us to quickly answer your questions.​
Edit Email & Password​
Here you can change the email affiliated with your XDA account, change your password, or connect a Google+ account to your XDA profile.​
Edit Options​
Here you can find additional privacy options, messaging and notification options to keep up with interesting threads, private messaging options, date and time options, and customize how the website looks to you including the theme.​
Edit Ignore List​
Here you can add or delete contacts that you wish to ignore during your XDA experience.​
List Messages​
Here you can see any private messages that you have received or sent. You can also delete or save messages here as well as change the display options for your message list. An easier way to get to this list is by going into messages from the box labeled "messages" near the top right of your screen.​
List Subscriptions​
Here you can view the threads that you have subscribed to in a nice and neat list.​
Edit Folders​
Here you can add/edit folders that you want to keep subscribed threads organized in case you have a lot of them.​
Attachments​
Here you can view or delete any attachments that you have attached in previous posts.​
You may find that you are unable to post replies or threads in some places at first. Please make 10 meaningful or helpful posts elsewhere first and then you will be able to. You will graduate from a Junior Member to a Member at 30 posts. You will graduate from a Member to a Senior Member at 100 posts. To graduate to a Recognized Contributor, Recognized Developer, or Moderator, please search in the "Search all forums" box near the top middle of the screen, and type "How to become a (which ever one of these I mentioned that you are curious about)"​
Near the top right of the screen there will be a button labeled "Notifications". Here you will get quick access to messages, mentions, quotes and statistics (statistics will be shown on same page as quotes. Here you can also find all posts made by you in the past, and all thanked posts made by you in the past), and update alerts for software you are using from subscribed threads. Also towards the right of the screen you will see easy access tabs to quickly view unread messages, and threads that you subscribed to.​
Near the top right of the screen you will see the button for "Swappa". This is an online store for buying and selling devices and is recommended by XDA​.
Next read XDA Forum Rules if you haven't yet before going any further. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the webpage and you will find a link for this as well as some other useful links. Or you can click here.​
Finding The Forums And Threads That You Are Looking For​​​​
Now to find the best forums and threads related to your device, click on the search box near the top left of your screen and start typing any identifying words that relate to your device until you find it. Once your device is selected you will find specifications, forums, threads, information on how to root, ROM's, kernels, and tools/utilities that are related to your device. If you are not able to find your device, then use the search box for searching all forums to find forums and threads that may be related to your device. This may be needed if you have a very new, old, or less common device. You may have to select the settings icon to the right of this search box for advanced search options. For a complete guide to using XDA's search features, check out this thread by my friend @TheMerovingian. If you are still not finding the information you need, read below for what to do next.
XDA Assist And How To Start Your Own Thread​
If you are still not finding the information you need after following the steps above, then click on the XDA assist tab near the top left of your screen. Here you can start a new thread requesting help to find the information you are looking for. You can find the new thread button near the top left of your screen. If you did find the forum you were looking for, then you can start a thread there the same way by selecting the new thread button near the top left of your screen. If you are unsure if this is the right forum to start your thread, then select the moderator tab near the top middle of the screen and send a private message to one of the moderators telling them what your thread is about, the name of your thread, where you think it should go, and politely ask if that is the right thing to do.
How To Operate Within Threads​​​​
Now that you have found a thread that interests you, here is some information on how to utilize your resources to get the most out of it. The original post or OP is where you are going to find the most info and usually any downloads that are related to the thread. This is on the first page of the thread (sdk version is related to which android version you are running. Arm, arm64, and x86 version is related to which processor you have in your device). If you cannot find this info in your android settings, then search for your device specifications online. Read all of the first page now. If you still have questions about the thread, next use the search box at the top of the original post to find specific info within the thread. If you still have questions read through a majority of the thread before posting questions. Unless it is a new thread, most likely the answer to your question is in there somewhere. The newest posts will be towards the last page of the thread. If you still have questions its time to make a post in the thread.
Making A Post In A Thread​​​​
At the bottom of the thread page you will see an option for a quick reply. This is a basic reply with limited options. Not many people are going to notice this post especially in a busy thread. If you want a specific person to be alerted that you have made a post then you either need to mention them by adding text in your post like this... @ZipAddict or you need to quote another persons post by selecting the "reply" button at the bottom right of the post that you are replying to. If you would like to alert multiple people that you have posted, then you need to select the "multi-quote" button at the bottom right of each persons post that you are replying to followed by selecting reply. Once again if you hover over edit options at the top of the reply you are making, you will see a description of what each one does (like change the font, or hide text like in my signature). For a complete guide on all the cool things you can do in a post, go here! Additional options are available below the text box and this is where you can add attachments to your post. If you are wanting to post several photos or videos, it can be easier to post a link to an offsite photo gallery like dropbox in your post itself. ​
Sending Private Messages​
To send someone a private message you can either click on their username and select "send message", or you can go to your message list and start a new message by manually entering the username/s of who you wish to send a message to. If you are wanting to send attachments in a private message, then you can include a link to your offsite gallery just like we discussed above.
~If someone has posted something that has helped you, then you are urged to hit the "thanks" button under that post regardless if you post a thank you.
~If someone is breaking the forum rules, then you are urged to hit the "!" button at the bottom left of their post and report them.
~If the thread has a poll (at the top of the thread), then you should participate. It only takes a second, and your opinion matters.
~You should rate the thread (at the top of the thread) immediately if it has helped you a lot. If not, give it a little time before rating and dont be quick to give a bad rating.
~If you benefit from software that you have used here, you should donate to the developer. Any amount is appreciated, and this will motivate them to keep providing the service that you use.
~Be patient and do not make another post about the same thing twice. If no one answers within 24 hours you could send a private message to the maker of the thread politely asking for direction.​
This is something I put together real quickly to point new members in the right direction and once again i did not go over every single option or detail. Feel free to ask any questions here, or to request more information regarding a certain topic though. And if you see any mistakes please point them out so that i can correct them. Also, if anyone would like to make photos or videos outlining these things, then i will be happy to add them and give credit. In the meantime i will attach photos as requested. Thank you for reading and good luck on your XDA adventures!:good::good:

Android 6.0.1 Lollipop Service Menu

So i just was curious about something i have a couple of questions but I am going to be adding my question to this form relating to android administration editing and commands.
What is Null integrity on/off for?
RCC Version Setting?

WOW... It's been quite some time since I've heard of these. I haven't referenced/looked at those settings myself in a while as well. LOL!
I'll try to clarify them based upon memory...
1) I believe that the "Null Integrity" ON/OFF option basically controls the devices capability for Emergency Calls.
2) I think that the "RCC Version Setting" is the settings that is tied to the Remote Controls that are tied to the transport controls regarding items like showing the the metadata for certain images & media alike.
I believe that the first one is more accurate than the second because the term of "RCC" was used on a few different fronts with a slightly different meaning.
Maybe someone like @osmosis or even @Droidriven can help with this a bit further (or refer it to a more appropriate member) as, I may be correct about them both but, I may be wrong regarding the reference/application your asking about.
Good Luck!

Null integrity related to JAVA, that's a bit deeper down the rabbit hole than I'm familiar with, that's developer level stuff and I'm not a developer or experienced with JAVA.
I believe RCC version refers to a resource compiler tool as discussed in the link below.
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/rcc.html
I could be way of base though as I'm not familiar with development and its processes.
This is something that can best be answered by an experienced developer that is versed on these subjects.

App Suggestion APP SUGGESTIONS (Single Thread Rollup)

I would like there to be an ultra-bright white theme. Here is an example: URL.
Please make it happen!

No forum link, while viewing a thread​Currently, there is no way to tell which forum a thread is in while viewing it.
It would be very helpful to know which device or topic the thread is about.
Many OP's do not mention this in the thread,
because it is assumed the reader will know which forum the thread is in.

At the top of the page, instead of "viewing Thread", the thread title should be displayed so readers know what thread they are on without having to scroll to top.

Posts in this threads don't have individual upvote buttons, should we make separate suggestions threads so people can up/downvote them, or continue posting and use likes as upvotes?

Page naviagtion at the top of a thread​In the app and on mobile browser in portrait mode, there is no page navigation on the top of a thread being viewed. Only at the bottom.
I would like to have it also at the top of a thread, like on PC and mobile browser in landscape mode.

Initially posted in wrong thread. One component pertains to previous request for navigation buttons up top.
For threads in the new ? (voting) category where the entire OP is shown at the top of every page
e.g. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mixplorer-q-a-and-faq-user-manual.3308582/
- collapse that post on all pages except first page.
- put page number and navigation buttons above it so the are in approximately the same place for all threads.
- exempt the first page of the thread from this because it's not needed and at present only serves to place page #s and navigation buttons below first post.
I realize that I could request re-categorization of the thread in question and I will do that but I found this disruptive enough to interacting with the thread that I wanted to report it before I moved on. Thanks.

What do you mean? There is indeed pagination navigation on the top and bottom of long threads.

This isn't possible. The OP is very intentionally placed at the top of each page in the case of using a Question or Suggestion thread-type. I'll talk to our app developers to see if there's anything we can do, but it's a core XenForo thing.

You can just make a new thread in https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/xda-app-bugs-and-requests.12203/ each with its own issue. Then voting will be enabled on that top post.

Thanks for the explanation. It's no problem moving the thread to another category if I'm permitted to do so (and I am working on that on another track). I understand why this is done but wonder if it's original conception may have been based on shorter individual original posts rather than what many threads including mine have which are several long opening posts. I'm not making a crusade of this of my own because I can move the thread but regarding member interaction with the forms in general, as presently implemented this may cause people to ignore and bypass the original posts faster and more frequently than they already do. As to following requests in posts and researching answers it's extraordinarily disruptive. That's my two cents, and now moving on to something that might actually be an issue as opposed to a design choice:
As to the page numbers being below the persistent first post, I'm wondering if this is part of the missing navigation and page number buttons reported by others which I've experienced in that context as well. Although it's understandable why an attempt is made to put the whole first post at the top of every page the missing navigation buttons and page numbers deprive people of both the knowledge about where they are in the thread and the ability to navigate around - as they do in the other reported cases.
Thanks again.

Ok, this is something we need to change. Pagination is super important and it should be top and bottom.

Thanks for the explanation. It's no problem moving the thread to another category if I'm permitted to do so (and I am working on that on another track). I understand why this is done but wonder if it's original conception may have been based on shorter individual original posts rather than what many threads including mine have which are several long opening posts. I'm not making a crusade of this of my own because I can move the thread but regarding member interaction with the forms in general, as presently implemented this may cause people to ignore and bypass the original posts faster and more frequently than they already do.

Indeed the intended use is for when there are shorter posts, not multiples from the OP. That's why we're not going to enable it in most other forums since OPs like the flexibility and control to make the layout how they want.

Page naviagtion at the top of a thread​In the app and on mobile browser in portrait mode, there is no page navigation on the top of a thread being viewed. Only at the bottom.
I would like to have it also at the top of a thread, like on PC and mobile browser in landscape mode.

What do you mean? There is indeed pagination navigation on the top and bottom of long threads.

Yeah, this is exactly what I meant HERE in the issue #2.
The issue #1 is frustrating to me too.

Having trouble reproducing your issue #1 with the thread changing layout. Steps to reproduce?

Sure, it's easy:
1- Just open a thread with the xda app, (the thread must contain several pages to be able to proceed with the next step) - > You will see the "new special layout" (I DON'T mean the thread preview):
2- Change page (use the Prev button for instance) - > you will see the standard web view layout:
