[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] USCanthony:
Just upgraded my P6210 to the 04-14-2013 version this morning and so far it has been much smoother and less buggy than the last version. I wasn't experiencing some of the issues with the 04-05-2013 ROM that some other people were experiencing such as quick launch tiles with improper ratio (my quick launch tiles have always looked perfect) or slight frame misalignment so I cannot say if or how well this ROM has solved those issues but I was experiencing the issue with the screen rotating from portrait to landscape (when exiting an app and the launcher reloads) and the landscape screen looks very compressed and low res for about two seconds. Since upgrading this morning I have not had one problem with the screen looking funny for a few seconds after rotating or the screen rotating quickly to landscape and then back to portrait very quickly and all on its own. Those two issues appear to have been corrected in the 04-14-2013 ROM. I had already applied my fix for the write problems to the external SDcard when I was on the older version of this ROM but I am pleased to see the that fix was still there after upgrading this morning. I have never felt that the auto brightness of any ROM worked all that well so I have been using the app "Lux" for all of my auto brightness needs so I can't help much when it comes to the auto brightness setting of the ROM. I did disable Lux for a while to see if I had problems with the ROM's built-in auto brightness but found I am too used to how well Lux does its job and the built-in function just performs miserably when compared to what I am used to. It probably isn't as bad as I thought it was but I am spoiled by Lux so my opinion on how well the built-in function works or does not work is going to be very skewed at this point. All in all, this new version of this ROM is quite smooth with very very little lag. The app drawer opens quickly (I am using APex as my launcher) and scrolling between different tabs in the drawer is very smooth as is scrolling between different home screens. I have a dock that I put my tab in when I am at home and putting it in the dock launches the daydream I have chosen. The last version of this ROM had a pretty good lag when touch the screen to come out of the daydream and back to the launcher. This new version of the ROM has corrected that as well. Now when i touch the screen to get back to my launchers home screen from the daydream the home screen pops back up immediately. Just for info's sake...I am using the hybrid engine settings and have my interface DPI set to 130 with the tablet layout, no nav bar and my global app settings also set to the tablet interface with a 130 DPI. I do have a few apps set with their own individual layouts such as the Play Store with a 720p layout and a 160 DPI (this ensures that you will not lose app compatibility in the Play Store) and the Gmail app set at its max layout of only 600p (but the DPI remains at 130 for Gmail). Everything appears to be working well when using the tablet layout and I am really not interested in setting up a tablet with a phone layout so have not tried the phone settings. I have also not tried the Phablet settings but from what I have read in some recent posts, I think I will wait for the next version of this ROM before trying the Phablet settings.
