FAQ

(will be updated as questions/issues arise as well)

Q: Who/What is TSM/TeamSbrissenMod

A:

Short version

: a few of from xda/irc who work on projects together and generally just hang out in irc a lot

A:

Longer version:

we started it as a joke (see the early @teamsbrissenmod tweets for an idea), but then bendbowden started making vanilla aosp mods and releasing under the TSM banner. In the lull between ec10 for the mez and EC01/ED01 Adrynalyne asked if a few of us wanted to team up for the next version of whatever rom he did post-superclean and TSM went from there. Its named after sbrissen, because hes ridiculously smart and talented...and deserves all the kudos you can give him. :)

Q: Ok who exactly is in TSM?

A: In no particular order: chopperthedog, andmer, times_infinity, me, sbrissen, imnuts, retrokidd223, mastamoon, madoggin, withere2, and navenedrob, bendbowden (both no longer active)

Q: Is TSM parts included?

A: Yes, it is now :) (sbrissen freaking rocks!)

Q: Are there any custom kernels or voodoo out for EH09/EI20

A: Yes Imoseyen and Comradesven have voodoo source kernels out, and djp has source kernels in his geewhiz thread.

Q: I don't like how you themed the rom..why not leave it stock???

A: Frankly you can't please everyone. I themed it the way I liked it, and felt a change of pace from stock gingerbread look was needed.

Q: How do I change apps in the tw4 dock?

A:

1. Open the app drawer

2. click the soft menu key

3. click view type

4. select customizable grid

5. select edit from menu

6. you can now drag and drop the apps you want right into the dock, or reogranize the app drawer or make folders, add pages to the app drawer

7. when done editing, click soft menu key

8. select save

9. you are gtg :)

Q: Is EH03 a leak or an ota?:

A: It was previously leaked, but on 12/1/11 it did ota :)

Q: Can you put adblocking into the rom?

A: Ad block does interfere with a limited # of apps/games, and many people want it undone immediately. Download adfree from the android market and run that to remove apps.

Q: What is the recommended radio?

A: Thats subjective to each phone/location. I have found the EH03 radio works a tad better than ec09 for me, others are the opposite. Some still prefer eb01. When going to a new radio however, I recommend doing a *228 to update your prl...seems to help :shrugs:

Q: How is performance relative to MTD/other touchwiz?

A: Let's face it, MTD is faster...I don't think anyone would debate that. If you are using touchwiz instead of MTD, I would assume you have a reason other than performance though. But compared to eh09 and ei20 I think there is a noticable bump in real world performance, benchmarks aside...and the semi-annoying random screen on moments from ei20 aren't present.

Q: Can you give me a more specific rundown of eh09/ei20/eh03?

A: alright

Eh09: 2.3.4, officially for the uscc mesmerize, cs showcase, and some of the other regional variants, kernel source is out, benchmarks (ugh) 950-1100 quadrant on stock rfs kernel, native google search/apps, power control extra toggle is sound/vibrate not mobile data

ei20: 2.3.5, officially out for uscc mes now (i think) and acg and a few other carriers, kernel source is out, benchmarks about same as eh09, native google search/apps, random screen on moments happen occasionally, power control extra toggle is sound/vibrate not mobile data

eh03: 2.3.5, official verizon rom that was leaked before eventually being an ota, kernel source is now out and being integrated into custom kernel, but eh09/ei20 kernels are compatible, save for the fact they break adb logcat (there is a fix now though), reported benchmarks stock are anywhere from 1450-1700 stock rfs on quadrant, native bing search/apps but not as instrusive as in eclair/froyo, better real world performance than the other 2 imo, power control extra toggle is mobile data, not sound/vibrate

Q: Are you going to make any themes for this?

A: Aside from the mild tw4 icons and and images I put in this rom to clean it up a bit, no. I do still enjoy theming (you may recall I used to put out dozens of themes before getting into roms) but to maintain a rom AND themes for that rom is tough. I tried it on the inc2 but got to be too much, so aside from the theme in the rom, I will not do independent themes.

Q: Why are there no gapps in the rom?

A: To keep the rom up to date as possible, I removed them and made them a patch. After flashing the rom, reboot to recovery and flash that package...or just download what you want from the market

Q: Do you guys accept donations?

A: Yes, but by no means are they EVER expected! I am perfectly happy with you just hitting the thanks button :) But if you would like to make a donation, please consider sending it to sbrissen first, as w/o TSM Parts this rom is just..well its superclean!
