Oops my bad, my SD card was actually formatted to NTFS (which obviously Android will refuse to work with), and my flash drive is exFAT...

Hard to say if the "corrupt" error is related anymore but then SD card reader don't have problem anymore.

In fact this is probably not a bug at all...

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

Would you mind to help check if your flash drive works on your SP4 with this build?

If it does or doesn't, what is the file system type of your flash drive tested?

Thank you! :)
[BLISS ROMS Development] grayhaze:
I thought Substratum not working was down to new restrictions in Oreo around overlays? Last I heard they weren't going to be able to fix it unless Google reverse the decision.

---------- Post added at 07:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

I get the same "corrupted" errors on mine for both the microSD and the USB drive when I plug it in. I just ignore those errors and avoid using those drives for anything in Android.
[BLISS ROMS Development] Eagle0110:
Haha I feel I'm so dumb now, it was my pen's battery died so quietly I did notice it at all...

The pen works prefectly on SP4!

Can anyone help me install BlissOS via Orcale VirtualBox? I get to the screen that has the options: Android Live, Android Install. Selecting either one does nothing but a black screen.

Great work electrikjesus highly appreciate your contribution
[BLISS ROMS Development] Eagle0110:
I got my microSD card working by first reformatted my SD card with NTFS file system (which I used to use regularly on SP4) on SP4 to exFAT file system, then boot to Bliss, when receive the "corrupted" notification, click on it, and let Bliss to reformat it again to FAT32 file system (just go through each steps on the screen in Android, I chose to format "to portable storage"). Now my microSD card is fully working, seamlessly across the dreaded Windows 10 and our new beautiful and amazing Bliss Rom :)

It seems like you can't format anything into FAT32 file system at least with the built in tool on Windows 10, and you have to do it in Android.

But in Bliss it failed to format when the file system is in NTFS.

Only downside is just FAT32 file system can't hold any file bigger than 4 GB, but it's an Android limitation that it can't work with NTFS file system.

I'm surprised it can't work with exFAT either, but from what I read it is usually "up to OEM manufacturer" to enable support for this file system, which obviously won't be our case here xD

It might be the same cause for USB device, but I don't currently have one I can test with...
[BLISS ROMS Development] Ealge0110:
Hmmm this is strange... I logged into Play Store with no problem...

Are you using Surface Pro 4? Are you on Wi-Fi? It might not work at first on Either net connection...
[BLISS ROMS Development] ebart:
Play Store works for me. Sleep doesn't (always) work too well and touchscreen goes in and out.
[BLISS ROMS Development] Ealge0110:
Which device are you using? Can you recall how long your device worked before touchscreen fails?
[BLISS ROMS Development] ebart:
Using the Surface Book.

The touchscreen failing was random, sometimes immediately on power on, sometimes an app would kill it. It's definitely not due to prolonged use as I haven't yet used it for a substantial amount of time.
[BLISS ROMS Development] Ealge0110:
Hmmm very strange, I just suddenly lost all the apps installed, as if the system is just installed.

Yet all of my system settings and all the local files seemed to retained...

In fact now no user installed app gets retained at all through restart...

On SP4 with the latest 10.0 Beta build.
[BLISS ROMS Development] ebart:
With the Surface Book it seems to not recognize the base's additional battery.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
RE: Playstore not logging in,

This is a regional issue that I haven't been able to figure out yet. Any help in this one if appreciated
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
This could be a good thing, "up to OEM manufacturer" means it's likely just a flag I have to add to BoardConfig.mk... Gotta find it first though
[BLISS ROMS Development] Ealge0110:
Indeed! Apparently the only reason it's not enabled by default is that Microsoft holds the licence for the file system lol
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
There are a few grub command line options that we may be able to use. I had been confusing the sleep.earlysuspend system.prop option for a grub command for some time, so I can understand how things can get confusing there. Because of this though, I added a new Grub command line options section to the instructions: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70462761&postcount=2
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Let me know if you figure out what I need to add before I do ;)
[BLISS ROMS Development] Ealge0110:
Will let you know if I find anything.

In the mean time though, any idea what could have happened when all the installed apps suddenly disappeared after restart, and that the system don't retain user installed apps anymore out of sudden?

What kind of file or log I can send to you to help diagnosis?

This would be a very bad bug for final release, I'm keeping the Rom on my hard drive as it is in case there's anything contained in it can help you figure out what went wrong.
[BLISS ROMS Development] digital0:
Could this be used for exFAT support? https://github.com/LineageOS/android_external_exfat
[BLISS ROMS Development] NaNo79:
last time i try cm-x86-14.1-r1 which is a porting of LineageOS 14.1 on my SP2017.. they have open source too ..

the perfect thing they have is the rotation .. its work perfect there without any need to third-party apps

hope to see that on your room too ..

btw i tried Bliss-v10.0-Beta-android_x86_64-OFFICIAL-20180312-2126_k4.15-sb-ga-jwd_m17.3.6_surface-pro-4 on my SP2017 and what i find that the touch screen work but its too sensitive i think it need to reduce the sensitivity little bet

hmm other thing i think you know .. power button , volume and battery usage . that's all what i found
[BLISS ROMS Development] osbaldov:
Im having some trouble loading bliss 10.0_x86 on my asus t100a. when it boots it stays on shell instead of trying to detect android.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
It's already included. No idea if I'm missing any build flags for it though
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
You need a different firmware file for it. I will be uploading a couple more builds soon. So far I have an update for Surface Book, and Surface Book 2 13"
[BLISS ROMS Development] Ckani:
I tried this on a dell venue pro 11 and it halts and never truly starts The android x86 does the same but, their lineage os port works great. Not sure of the issue

On my Toshiba Satellite L15W-B1120 your rom and android x86 works very well except the screen is upside down. Their lineage port works fine though.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Are you meaning to compare nougat to oreo? Because they are way different than one another, and especially in how they handle hardware.

BUT, until you can provide a bit info on install method, results from booting with the common grub commands, what build you tried, or what other builds with different kernels have you tried, I'm not too sure how much help we can be
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Again, there's a reason we ask for a little more information on what build(s) you tried other than "bliss 10.0_x86", as well as the install method, and results of the common grub options. Pretty Please?
[BLISS ROMS Development] Ckani:
I did not install. I just tried out via a usb key without installation on the dell venue 11 pro by selecting it in Grub.. The one I tried out was 20180308-321 nightly x64. I could not tell you what information was displayed as the font was too small to see even with my glasses. The version I tried with the toshiba was some time ago but, all them were upside down.

20180308-321 nightly is the only thing of yours I have tried on the dell.

android-x86_64-7.1-r1.iso Nougat runs upside down on the dell

cm-x86_64-14.1-rc1.iso nougat Runs everything great on the dell except the microphone is a little low so one has to shout at google. :D

If there is any information I can offer other than this I will try.
[BLISS ROMS Development] DrewYK:
Hey there electrikjesus, Great work you are doing on this project. I look forward to seeing what it becomes, over time.

I have an actual PC I have tried it on, not a tablet. My mileage has varied.

With "Bliss-v7.2-android_x86_64-OFFICIAL-20171014-1552_k4.4" I had pretty good luck. It stayed landscape most of the time, Google Play downloaded several updates, HDMI video and sound worked. I tried an app or two and they worked.

With "Bliss-v10.0-Beta--OFFICIAL-20180225-1944android_x86_64_k4.9-ax86_m17.3.5" I did not get very far. everything on the screen was very small and poorly rendered. The screen stayed portrait, almost from the word go, I could not find any way to get it to go to and stay at landscape (I did not try any third party apps). I did not stay in this one very long because of the difficulty reading the screens and maneuvering around a 90 degree tilted display.

Then I tried "Bliss-v10.0-PC_Beta--OFFICIAL-20180202-2031_android_x86_64_k4.15.x-b-s-rt-jwd4-ys_m17.3.3". Once again the screen is landscape, yay, and most everything else I tried worked, except two things I noticed early on: 1) no HDMI audio, everything is coming through the PC speaker. 2) I allowed the PC to go to sleep. The other two woke up when I tapped the arrow keys on the keyboard - this one is unresponsive.

All in all, amazing work!

All of the above were live boots. I am probably going to try the first one as an install. My biggest concern is the size of the partition for the Android file system. I will need to install a few apps for what I am planning, the live disk's 1gb partition was way too small to do too much with. I am hoping an install will mean, among other things, a larger partition.

Any way, I look forward to installing Bliss on Oreo on this PC some time soon. If you want my feedback just point out which images should be compatible with a PC and let me know what you would like me to try.

Try toing exit then got enter, then type exit again. But in mine it doesn't work running from USB, I had to install

!!New Bliss OS for PCs - v10.0 Beta Releases for Surface!! - 3/17/2018

[IMG="Bliss OS for PC, New and Improved Formula!!"]https://i.imgur.com/a1emqc3.png[/IMG]

!!NEW BUILDS UPLOADING NOW!!

I'm making this a decent post because there are a ton of changes in it. For starters, we squashed a ton of bugs in frameworks/base, so there will be quite a few things that are working better. Second thing, is we included PHH's Superuser instead of SuperSU. Just trying it out for now to see how things go. It is what Android-x86 project is using in their project, so we will see. And lastly, we built 4 different versions of these updates. One for the Surface Book, one for the Surface 2017, one for the Surface Book 2 13" and lastly one for the Surface Book 2 15". Each build is labeled for the target device in the filename, so pay attention to which one you're downloading.

Also coming soon, our nightlies will be back with kernel 4.16 in tow. So be on the lookout for that.

Another change this round is that we have revamped and amended our OP, Second post and Third post of this thread with some much needed information, so be sure to check that out.

Same rules apply as previous Beta release, I don't want to see anyone in here posting silly things like "it doesn't work" or "I installed and it shows a black screen" If you plan on using this build, I would appreciate a little on your part to also provide the info we need to help you, like install type, conditions, hardware, PC type, processor type, drive type, filesystem type, what steps you took so far, etc. Please and Thank You.

Updates / Additions:

Kernel 4.15.x - mostly stable on all devices, including nvidia chipsets

New installer - Based on changes to Android-x86 installer

New (old) animation, but it's better than the skewed images we had.

Rooted with PHH's Superuser (find the switch in Developer Settings)

Integrated Google Themes

Integrated OMS for Dynamic Substratum theming too!! (Kinda working now, tread carefully)

Bluetooth is mostly working right, just not on all machines. (Working on a grub command to disable BT... Tired of seeing it not working for half the devices. And that anoying popup....)

Bugs / Issues:

Bluetooth issues still exist on many devices. (If you accidentally enable it, I suggest you wipe your data.img or partition and testart, then in SetupWizard, DO NOT SELECT RESTORE FROM ANOTHER DEVICE!!!)

you will get Play Store and process crashes until WiFi is connected. Just dismiss these for now. Once connected to WiFi, things should work properly.

Sound or keyboard might not work, try to power down completely, boot to bios, then back to bliss using the secondary modprobe option (add AUTO_LOAD=old in grub)

Expect more. It's still a beta release. Report your issues, but make sure you SEARCH the thread first to make sure it hasn't been answered. And post logs too (I know, WTF are logs anyways??)

As always, check the Bliss download site for the newest builds. The rest are all on AFH as a backup archive. Hope you all enjoy this one :D

[BLISS ROMS Development] Eagle0110:
Just to clarify, is the version for Surface Pro 2017 also intended to be suitable for Surface Pro 4?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
No, the sp4 build was uploaded earlier this week
[BLISS ROMS Development] Ealge0110:
But I thought that build was v10.0, and these are v10.1?

And, you also uploaded a build for Surface Book along with the older SP4 build earlier, yet you uploaded a new v10.1 build for Surface Book this time but not for SP4?

I'm just very confused and want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding or missing anything thing.
[BLISS ROMS Development] NaNo79:
great job will try now
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Means it's not done uploading. They'll be about 930mb
[BLISS ROMS Development] Ealge0110:

[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
No need to be confused. I'll be running off another sp4 build soon

[BLISS ROMS Development] DrewYK:
Willing to help, where to begin.

It is my plan to use an android install to run Hulu, Comcast streaming and Kodi on a PC in the livingroom, attached to the TV via HDMI.

The install went well. The updates went well. The apps installed just fine... None of them run. I even tried installing Prime and Netflix but they do not work either. Firefox does though, and videos play in both Firefox and Youtube. They are garbled in Chrome.

All of this in on "Bliss-v7.2-android_x86_64-OFFICIAL-20171014-1552_k4.4".

Any suggestions?

Did you download and install from here?
[BLISS ROMS Development] Ckani:
Thank you. I might try installing from usb to micro sd (it will boot from usb and micro sd) and see if it works.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Try to live boot our different kernel versions first. Then only if one boots with mostly everything working, install ;)
[BLISS ROMS Development] stonedogSC:
Is there a version made specifically for Surface Pro 3?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
No it is not. It only has the different firmware needed to support those devices. All other device firmware is still included, so to all other devices, it will run fine if the devices are supported by the kernel.

Since our kernel and firmware are split, we modprobe for all existing devices and it matches it up if found. For the Surface line, there are mostly uniquely identifiable filenames for the firmware, but each device firmware package has three files that do not have a unique name, and they differ from each other. they are likely the common files for the ipts device, stating what to look for and where. It'd be nice to be able to figure out a way to load those three files dynamically on init when it runs the init script, but I'm not there yet with the whole learning how to do it yet thing...

EDIT: Dude, you changed your question on me. :) You worded it like you were asking if these were specifically for the Surface devices labeled.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
That device should be supported by all recent builds.
[BLISS ROMS Development] Ealge0110:
Wow that's what going on behind the scene! Keep up the good work and I have faith you will get there eventually!!
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Something I've been meaning to mention. We have added an option into Settings > Display > Advanced called Smallest Width. For the users that find things to be too big or too small, you can manually dial it in here and the change is immediate. ;)
[BLISS ROMS Development] Ealge0110:
Noticed it too although I don't have a need to change it myself. I think it would also be nice to have a reset button, would be a small but nice quality of life improvement :)
[BLISS ROMS Development] DrewYK:
No, from the play store. I will try that and see what happens.
[BLISS ROMS Development] DrewYK:
After a reboot it looks like Hulu wants to work... I need to recover my password.

Netflix (tried the suggestion), Prime Video, Xfinity Stream and Kodi all fail in the same way:

1st attempt:

[App] has stopped

Open app again

Send Feedback

2nd attempt:

same

3rd attempt:

[App] keeps stopping

Close app

Send feedback

However... just found out something interesting - grub never did install. Something is not right here.

Trying again...

This likely means your GFX hardware isn't fully supported by the DRM we use. What kind of hardware do you have and what does About Phone say for mesa version?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Try the Surface Book 2 13 build
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Another thing I have noticed about the Surface devices and loosing touch is that as long as I'm using the sleep=1 grub tag, when touch eventually goes out (sometimes up to an hour or two), I can hit the power button and let it turn the screen off for a few seconds, and turn it back on and touch will work again. If not, I undock the surface book from the keyboard, then turn it off, and re-dock, and I get touch back.

[BLISS ROMS Development] Ealge0110:
Noticed a minor cosmetic error in the currently latest SP4 build. When a dark theme is chosen in Setting/Advanced/Theme, such as "Darkness Meister", the "open with" panel (where you chose select an app to open a specific type of file) background is still white yet the text have all changed to white, resulting all the text to be unreadable.
[BLISS ROMS Development] genie13:
Hey,

Thanks for the build!

Pen and touchscreen work fine.

I have a Surface Pro 4, but it wont get past the "one moment please" screen (just after choosing wifi).

It tells me it cant communicate with the google services. I can continue to the homescreen if i choose not to connect to wifi.

Any solution for this?
