Question: I'm getting a "can't mount /sdcard" in CWM recovery - what should I do?

Answer: While this doesn't seem to happen often, you can download the ADBsdcardFix.zip

here

- then extract the folder (should be fine to extract it to your desktop) and attach your phone to the computer via USB (I did this while the phone was already in CWM). Open the newly-extracted ADB folder, and then double-click on the CWMsdcardFix.bat - something should pop up on the screen for a brief second, which is completely normal. After double-clicking the .bat file, on the phone go to mounts and storage, then select mount /sdcard - and it now should work!

All the .bat file does is the following code:

adb shell
umount /sdcard
rm -f /sdcard
mkdir /sdcard
exit

Question: I lost root after flashing this - what should I do?

Answer: Flash the superuser zip found

here

, OR you can download the ADBRootFix.zip

here

- then extract the folder (should be fine to extract it to your desktop) and attach your phone to the computer via USB. Open the newly-extracted ADB folder, and then double-click on the SUPermFix.bat - something should pop up on the screen for a brief second, which is completely normal. After double-clicking the .bat file, root should be restored!

All the .bat file does is the following code:

adb shell "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl10 /system"
adb shell "chmod 06755 /system/bin/su"
adb shell "mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl10 /system"

Question: I'm having overlap issues with statusbar icons and left/center clock - what should I do?

Answer: Yup - things may overlap, so you will have to change settings to avoid the issue, or deal with it.

Question: After first flashing, my statusbar is missing - what do I do?

Answer: This occasionally happens - it clears up with a reboot. I'm not certain, but to me it seems as though if you are able to get to the home screen before the media scan is complete, you never encounter this problem...

Question: What the hell is TSMParts?

Answer: A huge slew of mods and tweaks - here are some notes on them:

Most of the tweaks start at stock-ish defaults.

The statusbar icon tweaks all require a little effort on your part for changes to take effect. All changes can be elicited with a reboot, BUT for most there are other ways:

- Bluetooth/vibrate-silent/alarm icons -- just change their state (on/off or vibrate/sound, etc)

- E911 -- Go into Settings > Location and security... you don't need to do anything else, you should see the change

- Battery/signal -- these just take time... I have yet to figure out a way to get around that

Question: What is tweaktools? How do I use it?

Answer: An awesome script-based utility accessible via Termainal Emulator (or something similar). To use it, you must have superuser priveleges (i.e. type su and hit enter in terminal emulator), then simply type tweaktools. Then just read carefully and navigate the menus! More information on all that can be done with this incredibly useful utility can be found

Question: So I am in tweaktools, but my app/theme/cwm mod doesn't seem to stick?

Answer: The tweaktools script is always going through some changes, so some functions may not work for all folks. Most situations can be resolved by simply clearing downloads, exiting tweaktools, and going back in after a little time has passed. If a problem still persists, you can just download the file then manually go into CWM recovery and flash it there. They can also all be found

Question: The music widget isn't showing up on my lockscreen - why?

Answer: It is disabled as default, but when enabled the widget only works on some of the lockscreens - the options are made unselectable in TSMParts > Lockscreen options for lockscreens that don't support it. Also, be aware that if you have multiple music apps, the widget can get confused - a reboot usually fixes that situation.

NOTE: To de/activate the music widget in the MIUI lockscreen, simply do a quick double-tap on the clock bar. Note that the MIUI lockscreen music player operates independent of TSM Parts settings, and regardless of the music widget being enabled or not I left that one alone - so it should be there no matter what.
