Do not upgrade to CM10.1 if you use Bluetooth A2DP extensively

I flashed my Nexus S to CM10.1 recently and found that the A2DP streaming stutters so badly to the point of being unusable. Some googling reveals that from Android 4.1 to 4.2, Google swapped the Bluez stack that was used in Android since 2.x and replaced it with a stack contributed by Broadcom. This replacement has apparently created more issues than it has solved.

Anyway, I am back to CM10 (based on Android 4.1.2 with the Bluez stack), and all is well again. So if you use A2DP as much as I do (I listen to podcasts, 1~2 hours a day), you have been warned!

Update: Line adapter for Ozito Blade Trimmer

Update (Dec 2021): If you access to a 3D printer, I would now recommend this solution , which makes it super easy to replace the trimmer line. I have been using it for a few months now with zero issue.

Line adapter for Ozito Blade Trimmer

This is an adapter for Ozito 18V battery trimmer (and possibly some Bosch trimmers as well) that uses a plastic blade for cutting. It lets you insert a 2.4mm trimmer line (about 8cm long) and use that for cutting. Simply cut a length of trimmer line and briefly heat up one end with a lighter so that a little bulb is formed. Then insert the trimmer line into the adapter and slot that into the trimmer as per normal. Make sure the trimmer line is not so long that it touches the safety guard. If that is the case, simply trim off any excess with a cutter or scissors. This part is best printed using PETG, which is a tougher and more flexible material. PLA is more rigid and breaks more easily. However, even with PETG, it will still break when it hits something really hard. Since this takes only 0.5m of material and 15 minutes to print, I will usually print a batch of nine at a time at very little cost. The blades that they sell do not break when it hits a hard object, but ...
