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.

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.

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.
Thread closed.
Don't bother complaining about the 10-post rule here. I will request regular thread cleaning as necessary. This is not a thread you can use to build up your post count.
1. There are other constructive threads with that topic in the About xda-developers.com forum. I will happily debate you on the matter there.
--- Better alternative to postcount limit in development forums
--- A possible simple solution for Dev thread "Spam"
2. It is not going away because it is (mostly) for spam control.

The 10 post rule was put in place to make new users think, and hopefully contribute and help others by making useful posts rather than the usual crap like "thanks", "kewl" etc or ask questions which have been asked countless times before. They still have access to dev forums, just cannot post in them. Its not a massive restriction and to provide 10 useful/helpful posts is not hard.

Getting 10 quality posts is not that difficult and doesn't take that long if someone puts in a little effort. However, I understand if someone doesn't feel like they have time to do that.
That being said, I promise to post your question and post any answers received back from the appropriate ROM thread.........IF
You are asking something development related or some technical question about the ROM itself.
You are producing a mod for the ROM.
You want to enter a bug report.
That is what the development threads are supposed to be used for.
Other types of questions generally belong in the device Q&A (Question and Answer) forums. Not the dev threads. That is why there is no post count limit on the Q&A forums. If you really want the best device specific help, try reading the stickied guides in your devices Q&A forum, then post there if necessary.
Each one of these questions will be evaluated individually. If your question is uniquely ROM-related, I will ask it.
Your post must include:
1. A detailed device configuration: ROM, kernel, firmware, radio, mods, etc...etc...
---- This info should be in your signature
2. A list of things you have searched, read, done, and tried.
---- Expecting to come in here and get a quick freebie? Nothing in life is free, you have to do a little work here.
3. Terms you have searched for and where you searched.
---- Which forums? Which websites? Exact terms and different combinations of terms tried?
4. Your agreement that you have read ALL of the dev's initial posts in said dev thread. TWICE.
---- I mean read, not just skimmed over. Good devs put a lot of work into their first page posts and keep them updated, many times with FAQs and other helpful troubleshooting tips.
5. Your agreement that you have read the stickied guides in your devices General, Q&A, and Development forums.
---- Many people have put in countless hours of their personal time to enter in this knowledge for you to learn it and apply it successfully to your XDA experience and phone, and the mods have put them at the top of the subforum pages so you don't have to work to find them. Please don't waste their time or yours.
6. If you are having a problem, what exact steps brought you to the point you are at?
---- Remember, the more details you can give means that it is more likely your question will get answered correctly.
7. What steps have you tried to resolve the problem on your own?
---- See points 2. and 6. above.
8. What logs do you have?
---- See point 6. above. And this: [GUIDE] How to give constructive feedback to developers And this: [Tutorial] How to Logcat
9. The exact question you want to post
If you do these things I honestly believe that you will not need to post your question as it will already have been answered, but if not, I will enter your questions on any dev thread you want to post in but cannot post in, and post any and all answers received back here.
Thanks mate!
Also for the newbies: Any other question must go to Q&A section and not in here in General, wrong section threads will be moved or closed.

I have a 100Mbps download and upload speed, the newest MIUI release ("miui_INC_2.8.10") has been uploaded to quite a few foreign websites that only allow download speeds of up to around 22.5KB/s.
I've taken it upon myself to download the ROM file, upload it to my personal DropBox but also, more importantly, my personal file hosting server, here. (Link will be LIVE/ACTIVE in ~30 seconds from this post.)
Please post both of these links (note that they're the full URL, I'm not trying to get any money out of them, just trying to supply download links) in [THIS] thread.

Welcome, thank you. I want to be clear on what you are trying to do first. You are trying to be a mirror site, correct? I see that the OP there set up a mirror on DevHost a few days ago, but if you want to offer secondary mirrors then I can post there and ask for his permission.
Yes, I am trying to supply two North American server mirrors. The DevHost is a nice mirror, but still their bandwidth only allocates maybe 150KB/s per download.
The DropBox mirror supports up to, at least, 3.5MB/s. (Yes, MegaBytes) while I've downloaded at a full 12.5MB/s (100Mbps) from my personal hosting site.
Thank you.
EDIT: And as a.. "complimentary gift" of sorts for supplying these two mirrors (of great quality), would it at all be possible to remove my posting restrictions even though I have yet to reach my "10 quality posts"?
See, I don't visit the website often enough to bother with posting in Off-Topic forums, or "General Discussion." If you've noticed, I'm intelligent, and what I have to post is relevant, and most of the time useful, to the thread.
I've also been a member of some other forums for years, one which I will soon be "celebrating" my 10 year anniversary. I'm a developer of many Windows-based programs and I have before had fixes for some of the bugs for the ROMs posted here, but was aggravated that I could not post due to lack of post count and decided to just not post (not like I really had a choice.)
All I ask is that you consider my request.
Regards,

I will be happy to post this in the dev thread for you as long as the OP is fine with it, I appreciate you taking time to do that work of getting everything set up. I will write to him right now to ask and I will copy you on the PM so he knows exactly what we are requesting.
I wish I could assist but I do not have any power with regards to the posting restrictions, that would have to be done by one of the moderators. You can feel free to write to one of them, but at this point given that you are just 4 posts away I think their answer would be to suggest to post a few more times.
Update: PM is sent to the OP and you, hopefully he will reply back soon with a yes answer and I will post your links.

A link to the specific ROM thread would be helpful. There are two RemICS ROMs there.
[ROM][PORT][Android 4.0.4] RemICS v1.5.3 - SIII look [05-08-2012]
[ROM][PORT][ICS][4.0.4] RemICS v1.5.3 (FIXED) - SIII Look & Feel [20-08-2012]
Both of them appear to be using DevHost, but since I am not able to get to my files on DevHost right now either it seems to be a problem there. Typically they get it resolved in a few minutes so if you try again in a little while it should be ok. The first ROM above has a mirror here on RapidShare if that helps.
Meanrom 2.6 - Issue with Cam Mod and Beats Mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645211
After following the specific instructions in the forum as how to install the cam mod and beats mod (specifically post #6171)
Beats still does not show up anywhere on the phone. Someone else had this problem as well, but it was not responded to.
How can we verify that we successfully installed the cam and the beats mods?

I am at work right now and today is incredibly busier than normal so I can't dig into this at the moment, I am sorry. I will look more at it when I get home in a few hours. I don't see a specific way to test the camera but I would suggest taking some pictures and looking at the size. They should be significantly larger in size with the HQ mod. For Beats, I believe that you can start the stock music player up and plug headphones in and you should see a red "b" icon on the notification bar.

Here's the original post that post was based on, with links to the versions of the mods required. If the coolexe v3 music mod, which includes beats, is installed properly you should have an Beats Audio option in your settings menu and you will need to go into that and check off at least the wired headphones, and optionally bluetooth, before you will see the beats notifications when playing songs in HTC Music.

Thank you!! Most appreciated sir.
Thank you for your help with getting it posted.
I didn't see a beats option in my settings, even though I followed those steps.
If you have any suggestions on how to get it working it would be greatly appreciated.
PS The rom is also missing the sprinttv app. Installing it from Google Play and running it says that the app needs an update and then crashes. Is there an APK for the sprinttv that will work with Meanrom 2.6?
Is there a zip of the missing apps that we can install through recovery?

Well, I have to say this is the first time on this site that I have made several attempts to contact someone to convey an offer of free hosting/mirroring and been completely ignored. I have seen the guy online several times but no reply. I sent him a PM to ask him for at least the courtesy of a reply, but nothing. He is online now but appears to be ignoring it.
So my advice is to not waste your time and bandwidth any further on him or his ROM. I sincerely apologize to you, I was hoping to have a good positive demonstration here by doing it the right way and asking before simply posting mirror links as I have seen others do in the past, but to be ignored just demonstrates that someone does not wish to be helped, and therefore it is very likely that he will receive little help in the future when he does need it.
Badly need some assistance, Will be greatly appreciated. Thankyou

Model Number : A501
Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3+
Build Number: Acer_A501_4.064.01_AAP_OPTUS
Aspect Ratio: 1280x800
Read, Searched, Done & Tried:
Google for a good few hours, Searching countless A501 root links to find 90% of sites were for the A500. YouTubing, wording it in multiple ways found a guy that claimed to be able to root the A501 and A500. Watched the vid and the more I watched the less I trusted him, Clicked the download links in his description and was redirected to sites that didn't look trustworthy.
I haven't physically tried anything to do with rooting yet until I know more about it or find a guide specifically for the A501.
Searched keywords in this site and just about every forum to do with android, found one or two things on here claiming to do the A501 root but I don't have ICS and I'm not exactly sure how to get it, I'm pretty sure my device came as 3.1 or 3.0.1 Honeycomb when I bought it (It's on a Plan) I THINK I updated it to 3.2.1 Honeycomb but can't remember.
Tried multiple apps to help me getting the controller to work for Modern Combat 3 but most of them are for Bluetooth or like the Joystick Center 6 & Joy2Touch (Which I downloaded here) they need rooting - (I'd like to be able to use Joy2Touch without rooting but it doesn't seem possible?)
Quite a few hours went into research and all I know about this is that I need to revert my tablet back to 3.0.1 or 3.1 to root it, I also seen a post saying something like Bootloader will make it difficult - I'm not sure if it's on my device or not.
I have not installed any roms or mods on my device yet.
Terms searched: "A501 root" "How-to root Acer Iconia A501" "How to setup xbox wired controller Modern Combat 3" "Modern Combat 3 Controller support?" I cant remember exactly every term I searched but it was all pretty much the same just worded differently and I used Google, Youtube, Posted questions on answers.yahoo.com and this site but nobody has replied.

Nothing that helps with the rooting of A501 - I just searched multiple times in the search bar.
Hey guys.
Looked around the forum a bit but didn't find my answer, trying to play Modern Combat 3 with my wired xbox controller, shoot, change weapon and zoom work. Just can't figure out how to get the analog sticks to aim and walk for me.
(Controller works fine for other games like Dead trigger)
I have the USB/BT Joystick center 6 app and the joy2touch but when i use joy2touch it just says "root access failed"
Is there an easy fix for this? What do I have to do to get this working, would love to play the game with my controller.
Thanks guys.

Hey, thank you for posting and including all the info. I am trying to look into this right now, but I am at work so it is a bit difficult to sneak in too much XDA time. I will spend time on it this evening if I am unable to find anything else. Just out of curiosity, did you post this in the A500 forums? I just PM'ed a mod there to see if A501 questions were also included in the A500 forums so hopefully he will be able to get back to me soon on that.

Hey, after checking around, I think your best bet is to post your question in the A500 Q&A forum as there are other questions I saw in there for the A501. You have it well written up and I think you well get help and replies there since you have really tried and people will see and respect that.
Well, first I have to admit, it took me some sticky reading digging to find this thread, but it's a very welcome idea.
I had made this original post here, probably against my better judgment and forum policy, but I'm hoping this can significantly help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858551
That post also links to the discussion around lost IMEI's and being stuck on roaming on the Verizon GS3. If you read through the thread, you'll see that the developer is still attempting to ascertain root cause of the lost IMEI and/or stuck roaming. My post is an attempt to add a very specific circumstance to help guide in the debugging of that situation.
I would like to follow up with additional information around the ERI and post a conjecture around devices with non-matching MIN and device phone numbers, to see if any of that might have something to do with or might shed some light on the stuck in roaming mode.
Below is a format that should be used as an example of how a rom thread should look. It doesnt have to be exact. I suggest that you stay creative and use all the features in the advanced panel when creating a thread.
1. Name of rom, team, etc
2. Introduction
3. Changelog in code or php tags
4. What's included in the rom in the (apps, tweaks, scripts, addons, mods) in code of php tags
5. What works/what doesn't work in code or php tags
6. Credits (Users name-with link to (profile/github/or thread u got tweak from embedded), and what they did to help you)
7. Screenshots (2-10 different screenshots of different aspects of rom)
8. Kernel with either link to thread you got it from or github (if stock sense or cm please state that and that is enough)
9. Instructions on how to install the rom (also if special instruction for a2sd or beats audio...etc)
10. Do's and Don'ts of the rom
11. Questions & Answers section (I find this helpful to write out asked questions with solutions at the bottom of the op. I find that it cuts down on the question being asked a million times)
12. Finally the dl link
13. Additional add-ons (this can go into first post or reserved posts after)
I find the embedded link looks and feels better throughout the op if possible.
All sections should have a header with enlarged text and spaced out so people can read it easily.
I am hoping that this helps to make this section a little cleaner and easier. enjoy
The way I look at this is that it takes US weeks/days/hours to make these roms....we can take the time out to make sure that the op looks professional and clean
Also Make sure the op is fully ready before posting. I know we all get excited to release a rom but stating that half the stuff will be updated as time permits just shows that you are lazy and in a hurry which doesnt look good cause if thats the case then how does your rom run....
No posting a a rom thread without a DL link either
Thanks Papa Smurf151 i think everyone who is getting ready to post a rom should be redirected here!
sorry if im not allowed to post here, so please delete my comment if needed
i left this open for feedback
How about how stable it is like in the old days?
I remember last year everyone would label them as beta, RC, final etc.

I think what Papa Smurf outlined in the OP is more then enough and it covers the basics while keeping the majority of the threads uniformed or at least try to
I also don't think we should start being over critical here and require individuals that start threads in the development section to add labels like Alpha, Beta, MC, RC or whatever.
I understand that having labels would make things a whole lot easier for the user BUT it also doesn't encourage the user to read about what he or she flashes onto their phone.
I don't know how many times I've seen a user complain and harass developers over something that was clearly their (the user) fault because they didn't read the OP. They saw fancy screenshots and saw the download link and either ended up bricking their phone or causing their phone to turn into a hot pocket...lol
Not trying to tell people how to do their job BUT I think we should encourage users to read/search more not shortcut things for users.

See I assumed this was common sense and ROMs that are missing a lot of these details, I don't give the time of day too so those ROMs don't matter to me. Because in my mind all the good ROM's out there already follow this in some way shape or form.
I appreciate what you did but I don't see why we need it is all.
As long as these are only guidelines and not enforceable rules, I agree with them. But I wouldn't agree with deleting/locking threads that fail to follow these guidelines; that would send the wrong message to developers.

Rom threads will never be locked or deleted for not following these guidelines. I would hope devs would embrace them and if a fellow dev isn't then I would hope someone would point them here and try to help them. Most rom devs want to have a nice looking op. But some of them are new and don't know better or are very young and don't know better. This just helps to give structure that they can refer to and say oh yeah maybe I should have that or this.
