Q:

What the hell is TSMParts (new option in Settings menu)?

A:

A huge slew of mods and tweaks originally put together by the original members of TSM and inspired by impressive works of numerous others - the TSMParts interface acts as a control for all of the customizable fun available. There are a large number of options there - so make sure to check them all out!

Q:

TSMParts is asking for superuser access now?!?

A:

Yep - there are two options in particular in Miscellaneous settings that need it, so make sure you grant it!

Q:

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

A:

Yeah - things may overlap, so you will have to either change settings to avoid the issue or just deal with it.

Q:

I set a statusbar icon to hide, but it's still there. What gives?

A:

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

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

-- No sim -- if the notification is already active you will need to reboot/hotboot to hide it

Q:

How does this One Hand toggle work?

A:

The toggle, when on, forces ALL one-hand options to be selected. When off, it reverts the settings to WHATEVER they were before the toggle was turned on. This is still a work in progress, but it's a start. That being said - I'm open to suggestions on how to improve it :)

Q:

Why does the alarm icon on the statusbar/lockscreen go away randomly when using the AOSP Clock option?

A:

This seems to be a bug within the 4.2.2 AOSP Deskclock apk itself. I went poking around to see if I could figure out why but turned up nothing, so it is what it is unfortunately. Rest assured though - even though the icon might not show, the alarm WILL go off when set!

Q:

I keep getting messages saying FlashBarService had to close - WHY YOU MAKE BREAK ON THIS!?!

A:

I have tried real hard to chase this down but if you see this than perhaps I came up short. While I am unsure of the cause it seems the solution that has worked for folks is to wipe app data/cache for FlashBarService.

Q:

The toggles in the pulldown are suddenly a weird large size (width) - what gives?

A:

This happens sometimes (usually if auto-rotate is enabled) - all you need to do to "reset" the size of the toggles is enable auto-rotate, then go into an app that allows for rotation and ...well, rotate. Rotate back and check the pulldown - all should be well once again.

Q:

CRT animation/volume wake don't work quite right... why?

A:

Both of these features require a kernel that supports them to fully work.

Q:

When I select Edit from the pulldown after taking a screenshot I get a FC - wth?

A:

This happens if you don't have Paper Artist installed. Using whatever means you feel most comfortable with you just need to get PaperArtist.apk back into /system/app.

Q:

Why are my widgets all screwed up?

A:

Most likely because you are using a non 4x4 launcher - I have yet to come up with a perfect solution. If widgets are your thing - than so is the 4x4 launcher :)

Q:

When I enable/disable navbar my wallpaper goes away?!?

A:

Getting that to change without rebooting requires some other things to be killed and restarted, and there is some variability in how long that takes. It shouldn't be more than a few seconds most of the time though - the wallpaper will reappear.

Q:

I tried flashing 2.x, and it ignored all my choices from the previous version... WHY?!!

A:

With new versions come new options, and to assure folks are using an install.prop that is current with the version of the rom that is being flashed, it does a quick version check. If it doesn't match what is expected based on the rom version being flashed, it will overwrite your file with the default, but it will first make a backup of your original for reference. Make sure to edit your file or run the updated basic installer before flashing new full versions and you should be fine :)

Q:

I took the OTA via GooManager and now my phone/theme is all messed up! WHAT DID YOU DO?!?

A:

Most likely what I did was update something in framework-res or SystemUI that required a new resources.arsc file - a variety of theme stuff tends to go in in the things contained in that file, so by overwriting it with my stock-based edits it will most definitely cause issues, aesthetic or otherwise. Being unthemed and taking the OTA will offer you the best chance of a problem-free update.

Q:

Why isn't the accurate data icon mod working!!?!

A:

The only time that mod shows an effect is when you are on the T-Mobile network - I don't believe other networks will see a change in data icon behavior.

Q:

I just did a fresh install and I can't get my signal bars back - WHY DO YOU HATE ME?!?

A:

This seems to be linked to connecting to wifi during the initial setup phase after a /data wipe. I have been unable to recreate this, but going into recovery and wiping /data again should fix it up for you. If it doesn't, just reflash the rom (I would wipe /data again) and avoid connecting to wifi during the initial setup. You should be good to go after that point :)

Q:

What is this LMT thing? How do you use it?

A:

You need to check out noname81's thread

here

for info on that!

Q:

After enabling/disabling the onscreen nav keys, the pulldown goes down too far/not all the way... WHY DO YOU BREAK THINGS!!?!

A:

This happens and it's completely normal - all you need to do to fix it is open pretty much ANY app. Things will then readjust and all will be well again :)

Q:

I just flashed the rom and I can't connect to Hangouts...?!?

A:

I've noticed this after a data wipe as well - it just needs a little time (and maybe a reboot), but it seems to not connect until all the syncing is done.

Q:

Why can't I resize my popupbrowser?!

A:

You can, just differently now. You need to press and hold the bottom right corner of the popupbrowser to resize - this is a stock feature actually.

Q:

Why can't I sync with my Samsung account?!?

A:

Thanks to investigations by Kal-El7 - the confirmed means to achieve this is by selecting BOTH the SamsungApps AND the Cloud options at install (or after the fact via the Modificatinator of course).

Q:

Where the hell are the extra stock toggles?!

A:

Go into TSMParts > Statusbar settings, select to use the stock toggles, and then click on Stock toggle reset.

Q:

Where can I find information on the kernels?

A:

Info on PBJ can be found

here

, and info on trinity can be found

here

.

Q:

Why don't you mention blah blah blah in your FAQ? It would have helped me a lot!

A:

My bad - PM me anything you think should be added to this that would be helpful for the general user base! :)
