[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom31000:
My feedback on blisspop

Hi,

as it's my first post on the forum and i have less than ten posts, i'm redirected to the q&a forum, but i obviously know it's the wrong section....

I just wanted do say that i'm new to Android os and the galaxy tab s 8.4 wifi is my first android device.

The reasons i chose this tablet over ipad mini was mostly because of the incredible screen quality, but i'll detail it latter in this post.

I must say that in no way i would go back to IOS as far as tablets are concerned.

With the stock samsung TW rom, i was already amazed by the quality , possibilities and form factor of this device.

I really wonder why i spend and lost so much time with an ios tablet ( maybe earlier devices on android was not as good as this piece of hardware, but as i stated, it's my first).

Of course, 2 days after my first hands on the tab s, i ended on this forum and the day after, i had a rooted tablet !

Then, i wondered how i could get a "clean" device, as i saw everywhere samsung crap...

So, the fourth day, i was instaling my recovery and then my first debloated rom !

After diferent Rom's trials, i decided to go to a "Lollipop" one.

Then i found this blisspop Rom !

It's by far, the best thing i ever did for this tab s !

This Rom is incredibly fast, MORE stable than my stock Rom (i had this f***** chromecast bug), the battery life is incredible, the look and feel is perfect and customization options are just enormous.

I did not test all the CM12 based roms, but so far this clearly is the rom i would advice for this device.

This is my every day Rom.

So, i want to thank every people involved in this Rom. This is an amazing work.

Thank you !

This post is my contribution to the efforts made by the bliss team and particulary jewnersey.

I actually can't do much more as i'm really new to android and not a developer in any way.

The only thing i can do is to report my own experiments of what's working for me or not and what should eventualy be done to make it even more interesting.

As i understand, some features can't be implemented since Samsung releases it's own Lollipop version.

So the overlay must be disabled and the camera wont work corectly indeed.

I'm using the latest 1.7 Rom, as it seems 1.8 is less satisfying.

For what i noticed, the issue with sound croping with bluetooth devices can be solved by pluging a headphone then unpluging it.

Volume control will work fine with the bluetooth device, but not with the tablet volume.

I could not find anything on the subject, but, as far as i know, my samsung retail book cover is working just as espected.

I paired 3 different bluetooth devices (a keyboard, a headset and bluetooth speaker) and except for the volume issue, eveything's connecting flawlessly.

The "auto diming" is not buged as it was in original samsung's Rom.

Now, i'd like to say that one feature lacks from samsung stock !

Yes only one !

Considering this incredible screen, i think we, all users, must have the "space color" option.

We could choose to have the "normal wide gamut not accurate one" or the "video optimised one" but we could especialy have the "photo gamut" option witch is a must have for photographers and every people into color accuracy.

As our screen is sooo much better than the other devices's, it would be a pitty not to be able to make advantage of it .

Let's make it clear : I'm not requesting this feature, i'm pointing the fact that i could live without the camera but it would be a big frustration if i could not take advantage of this incredible screen !

As far as i understand, it's also samsung rom related, but i hope this rom will have the option, one way or another to apply those settings.

What about you guys ? Is it an important feature for you ?

Thanks again for the good work and i hope samsung will release it's lollipop rom in a very near futur !
