[fizbanrapper]

Team Bliss is pleased to present to you BlissStalk Rom - (BOSP)
One of the most highly customizable roms that you can install on your mobile device.
BlissStalk has all the features you crave, compiled into one rom for a truly blissful experience.

BlissStalk is CM11 based, with a ton of features added in.
The original source for BlissStalk came from BeanStalk rom built by Scott.Hart.Bti.
A huge thanks to him for the source, and all the work he has done to develop the rom.
Also thanks to Slim Rom, and Derteufels, where a lot of the additional code came from,
& to everyone involved with CM as that is the foundation of this project.

Team Bliss is a team consisting of developers and device maintainers that work on this project in our spare
time to be able to give Android users a custom rom packed with features that will make a lasting impression.
We will keep up to date with the latest CM code, and updates will be posted on a regular basis.
However, please do not ask for ETA's. We will update the links as soon as they become available.

We will not tolerate any rudeness or anyone being disrespectful in this thread.
We will do our best to answer your questions or concerns as soon as possible.

YOU MUST TRY THIS ROM!!!

BeanStalk was always one of my favorite ROMs, but there were various different tiny bugs. Now a full team has been assembled, and they've renamed and largely rebuilt the ROM. They've spent a ton of time getting repositories updated to reflect the most recent commits, which has addressed the bugs.

Kernel is from CM (for now).
So is the device tree

 

[fizbanrapper]

I don't know of any bugs, but the ROM is still very new. There probably are some bugs, but the ROM is incredibly smooth as of now.

 

[bpc4209]

Nice...

 

[bpaulien]

I don't know of any bugs, but I've only been running for a day now, and the ROM is less than two weeks old (as of today, anyway). There probably are some bugs, but the ROM is incredibly smooth as of now.

I'll give it a try. Been on liquid Smooth for a few days, but figured I'd give this one a chance.

Thanks for doing your part in keeping this device alive!

Probably tonight I'll give it a spin.

What toolchain / optimization flags did you use to compile this?

 

[fizbanrapper]

What toolchain / optimization flags did you use to compile this?

No flags or optimizations used... yet. I'll be changing that very soon though. This is so new that I thought it best to hold off for now until it was running for a few days. That way if a bug pops up, I'll have a better sense of whether it's the ROM's bug, or if I did something wrong.

 

[bpaulien]

I just realized that the interactive governor is set to only be used at 384mhz. I was having trouble with it being EXTREMELY laggy. So I checked the settings and saw that it was not configured correctly.

 

[fizbanrapper]

New build posted. Let me know if there are any issues after flashing this one.

Started downloading... Is a dirty flash OK?

Yep.

 

[bpaulien]

Yep.

Thanks. One question I have and it may just be that I haven't looked hard enough, but is there any way in the buttons section of settings to get "switch to last app" assigned as an option for double tapping the home button? I think I saw that option in one area (can't remember right now where it was) but not in the buttons assignment section. Just wondering if it's possible.

Also, is there any way to set double tapping on the status bar to put it to sleep mode? I see that double tapping the slider on the lock screen will do it but is there any way to put it to sleep with a double tap to the status bar once it's unlocked?

I hope I'm not being annoying, I'm not actually asking for the feature if it didn't exist, just wondering if it does and how to find it.

I like the ROM so far. I have not experienced any real issues yet but will let you know if I do.

Not annoying at all. I don't see those features either. Neither of those features have ever really been valuable to me either, so I don't remember which ROM's do and don't have it. If you can tell me where you have seen these features, I can try to track down the commits.

Glad you like it. I was expecting it to have a lot more bugs for being so new.

 

[fizbanrapper]

Will thia install ysing HBoot 2.09?

I don't think so. I'd suggest upgrading to 2.10.

 

[Mr.BungIe]

Hey, if you're taking requests, adding back to kill from Liquid smooth would be awesome of you.

I ran Bliss and loved it for about a week, but I'm addicted to quiting individual apps when I'm done with them and went back to liquid.

I know that liquid Smooth and Dirty Unicorns both have the features I was talking about.

2 more things...
1.) I just found one of the features I was looking for. If you look in Settings in the "Device" section under "Display & Lights" down toward the bottom of that settings screen is an option called "Double-tap to sleep". That's exactly what I was looking for. I just have gotten used to that feature, so really enjoy using it. Although, if you ever ended up adding s2w and s2s in the kernel, that might be even better. But for now this is good. Just thought I'd let you know I found it since I was asking about it.

2.) My external SD card seems to only be mounted as read only. I can't copy anything to the card, although I can read the card. I just checked, and was able to write to it, so maybe it's intermittent? But when I go to the "Storage" settings under SD Card, it only shows Total Space, Available Space, and then has the option "Erase SD card". I don't see any option for Unmount card, which I usually see (in other ROMs).

Anyway, it might be that my card is going bad or something, since this seems to be an intermittent problem. Maybe I'll look into getting a different card. But it's not enough to keep me away from the ROM. Just thought I'd bring it to your attention.

I see the same thing on mine too. It's good to hear about these things, but I honestly don't plan on spending a ton of time on most of these things just yet unless they're device specific issues. The transition to Lollipop complicates things, as well as the newness of the ROM itself. Any fixes made now could be undone tomorrow, or fixed by Scott or one of the other team members. I'm going to keep up with builds, but the kernel is where my extra energy is going to go. In the meantime, please keep posting the issues you run into.
