Q:

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

A:

An interface for a huge slew of mods and tweaks, the base of which was originally put together by the original members of TSM and has since been inspired by impressive works of numerous others - the TSM Parts 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?!?

A:

Yep - there are some options that will 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/nfc/wificalling -- 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

-- smart "eye" icon -- changes will happen once the eye triggers

Q:

How is battery life on this rom?

A:

This is a stock modified rom. As such, battery life will be equivalent to stock were you to be running a similar array of apps and kernel - it really should be no different than stock otherwise (which imo is not half bad really). The kernel and misbehaving 3rd party apps have more to do with battery life than a modified stock rom - at least in my opinion (and experience, though it's limited).

Q:

So tethering is a common topic... can it be done with this?

A:

To be honest I am unsure as to how tethering will behave using AT&T as the carrier... there was an annoying upsell message that TMo folks would get that I tried to set up to avoid, but in theory tethering SHOULD work on this. I will update this once it has been confirmed by a few folks :)

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 or ATT network - I don't believe other networks will see a change in data icon behavior.

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:

Why can't I toggle off/on the security settings for exchange-based emails using the stock email client?

A:

Mostly because I haven't been able to figure out how to do it. As long as you set it up to how you want PRIOR to setting up the account, AND you don't change the setting later - you should be fine.

Q:

Why is it that when I swap the settings UI type the settings icon itself seems to move in the app drawer?

A:

The toggling of the two UI types make the SecSettings package "appear" different to the system, so it's location in the app drawer may change after toggling depending on the launcher and settings used. This is normal and of no concern.

Q:

I have an N9005 - can I flash this?

A:

Thankfully the N9005 can pretty much flash any N900T rom, but there can be issues with things like wifi/bluetooth/nfc. Thanks to some due diligence searching of [MENTION=2937111]galaningenieros[/MENTION] and his pointing to the good work of [MENTION=1512492]cdmvirt[/MENTION]

, you can fix it right up by flashing the files found in

this post

Q:

I'm getting a force close when I try toggling N3/S5 in TSMParts > Statusbar options... WHY YOU MAKE ME BREAK MY PHONE?!?!!

A:

This has been an odd one, but it appears as if the blame resides within a few xposed modules. In particular, the iOS battery module and wanam have both been implicated. I will try to come up with a way around it, but if you uninstall these modules your toggling experiences should improve.

Q:

I flashed this in safestrap and either used an old install.prop or none at all - why did I get an AT&T install?!?

A:

I did this on purpose - I made it so when flashing it assumes that if you are using the default install.prop and in safestrap that you want an ATT-ified install (assumes you have an N900A and ATT as a service provider). If this is NOT the case - you can override this by updating or setting up a current install.prop :)

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! :)
