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: 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: 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
