FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q:

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

A:

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

Q:

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

A:

First off, go into the Superuser app and accept the initial update prompt. If that doesn't work, flash the v0.98 version of

SuperSU

- note that this slightly differs from the one found

here

to match how it was installed with the rom itself. Alternatively you can try downloading 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!

NOTE:

Due to the joys of the stock kernel, you will need to be IN CWM RECOVERY and have SYSTEM MOUNTED for this .bat file to work!

All the .bat file does is the following code:

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

Q:

I never had root in the first place, but it says I'm not rooted. I see superuser - what gives?

A:

After you first flash the rom, you need to go into the Superuser app - it will prompt you to update su binary - agree and all will be well.

Q:

I'm having overlap issues with statusbar icons and center clock - what should I do? Also notifications aren't clumping like they were before with center clock - what gives?

A:

Yup - things may overlap, so you will have to change settings to avoid the issue, or deal with it. And yup, now that center clock is more "true" center, notifications will not clump as they did before. Some have already voiced desires for this to change... if enough voices wish it I may offer an option to change this within tweaktools.

Q:

I set my statusbar to be transparent... but I don't see my wallpaper under it. What gives?

Q:

This is more a launcher issue than anything else. I actually edited the TW launcher to make it viewable - and unfortunately behavior of this will vary across launchers.

Q:

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

A:

This occasionally happens - it clears up with a reboot. It also clears up after anything activates the statusbar ticker - so doing things like usb connecting your phone to your computer, downloading/installing an app from play store, getting a text - all these things make the statusbar reappear. Note that this only happens after the initial flash.

Q:

What the hell is TSMParts?

A:

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

Q:

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

A:

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.

Q:

Why don't you mention blah blah blah in your FAQ? It would be helpful!

A:

Because you hadn't told me yet! If you feel something should be added, PM me with exactly what you would have liked to see in the FAQ (so both the Q and the A, and with details) - I of course reserve final editing rights but if I feel the addition is warranted I will it as close to the original PM as possible.
