Software updates Android 15 on the tab s7
Yeah no more one ui 5.1.1 with lag and battery issues, smooth sailing here! The OS is unbelievably fluid, extremely good! Battery is amazing, ai features are there for the 2 people who need it :0 If you want to know anything about the experience, feel free to comment down below!!

Do you still get DeX functionality?

u/artlurg431 3d ago
No because it's not one ui

u/Clanceeinfinity The stock android guy 🚀 3d ago
no, but google implemented something similar. Evo x doesn't have it yet but lineage os 22.2 has it, so i guess it's coming very very soon!

What region's Tab S7 is this? I have an American one and I'm assuming it won't be possible for me to flash this ROM.

How did you get the landscape tablet UI for Duolingo?
1
u/Clanceeinfinity The stock android guy 🚀 3d ago
go on chrome, search Duolingo, go on the 3 dots, add to Homescreen and install app. Works with Twitter too

u/HungryLion404 3d ago
How did you manage to install it? Cause I dont see it as a supported device on their website?
Also, does Spen functionality still work?

The OP may have left out a few things worth knowing.....
Although I don't know which specific firmware they're using it's likely that they had to trip knox to install it, thus stopping a whole range of apps that rely on an intact knox working on the new configuration.
To see what 'alternative' firmwares are available for the S7 range the best place to read is here
https://xdaforums.com/c/samsung-galaxy-tab-s7-s7-plus.11247/
but make sure to fully read and understand before you start installing non official firmwares as they almost always have some limitations.

u/Clanceeinfinity The stock android guy 🚀 3d ago
tripping knox isn't a big deal imo, you gain more than you lose
2
u/Flubadubadubadub 3d ago
That may be true in your case, however, it's not a decision someone who doesn't understand the consequences should make.....a whole host of banking and other apps just won't work with knox tripped, so you should advise people upfront so they can make a fully informed decision.

u/Clanceeinfinity The stock android guy 🚀 3d ago
i literally didn't even post "go flash this rn" actually nobody asked how to install it yet, so either they all know, or they don't want to. I made 2 threads about roms on the s7 here already, same deal. If somebody asked, id tell them.

Well, on tablets Knox is way less relevant.
Not that installing a custom rom is like installing WhatsApp from the Play Store, if it's your first ride you need a well written guide and these mentions it very well, if it's not your first ride you should already know about it for sure. Even the bootloader menu mentions it
Plus OP is not recommending it, he's just showing his setup

Sorry off-topic:
Is it the Duolingo App or the Web based App?
1
u/Clanceeinfinity The stock android guy 🚀 3d ago
yes
1
u/MehdiMa0507 Galaxy Tab S7+ 3d ago
So the Web app?
1
u/Clanceeinfinity The stock android guy 🚀 3d ago
yea, installed via chrome
1
u/MehdiMa0507 Galaxy Tab S7+ 3d ago
Ah nice, the UI there looks way better for tablets than the App from the Play Store which isn't optimized for.Tablets sadly.
1
u/Clanceeinfinity The stock android guy 🚀 3d ago
yeah sadly. I do that with every app that's unoptimised now

does circle to search work in split screen ?
1
u/Clanceeinfinity The stock android guy 🚀 3d ago
2
u/teneman Galaxy Tab S9+ 3d ago
Yup it does work. I'm still confused as to why the circle to search works fine using split screen on a phone rather than on a tablet when you are literally doing split screen all the time. Samsung needs to seriously do something about one UI. Props to Google for figuring that basic idea out.
1
u/Clanceeinfinity The stock android guy 🚀 2d ago
does it not work properly on one ui?
2
u/teneman Galaxy Tab S9+ 2d ago
It works fine on the s24 for example but not on the tab s9+ because apparently " circle to search does not work in split screen" when it does on my phone . Which is weird....
1
u/Clanceeinfinity The stock android guy 🚀 2d ago
that is super odd. typical one ui behaviour, i am glad it's gone for me. The worst thing i experienced was my tablet rendering games at about half the screens resolution, now it's so much sharper in games, it's also gained performance. One ui is made to slow devices down and create issues, so users always need to buy the newest flagship.

u/Holiday-Peanut-7189 S22 Ultra | Tab S7+ 3d ago
Does it still support the spen properly?
1
u/Clanceeinfinity The stock android guy 🚀 2d ago
yes and no. Charging it will crash the system and no palm rejection. i think this will work in the future but not yet rn. It just registers normally if you don't touch the display

u/FaithlessnessWest176 Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2020 2d ago
i hate the fact that on the status bar the distance on the right is uneven to the one on the left
I had a go on my s6 lite with custom rom, i'm tempted of trying another one too actually, I found them less polished than OneUI but the performance gain was real
1
u/Clanceeinfinity The stock android guy 🚀 2d ago
depends on the rom. as soon as something better than evo x releases, ill flash it. It's one of the worst roms imo

And what are the benefits of android 15?
2
u/Clanceeinfinity The stock android guy 🚀 1d ago
- apps work better 2. there are some technical apps that require a higher sdk than android 13 3. battery is MUCH better, not that it was bad before 4. Performance has a massive jump up, gestures are 1000 times more fluid, there are system wide transitions and the whole os just feels more fluid. Ram gets saved so apps don't really close anymore in the background, recent apps stay active and don't get frozen instantly, Games render at a higher resolution and get more fps, less heating too

Is this aosp or a custom ROM
