A couple of things here which I hope will help you. First, don't make assumptions as to what is wrong - when you reach the "detecting Androidx86" screen try using Ctrl-left arrow to see if you can reach a shell. If you can, run "logcat -d" and see if there are any fatal errors.

Second, I had very poor results when trying to live boot off a USB stick. This is anecdotal, of course, it was my one experience with my Surface Pro 2017 and some other person on the internet whose forum post made me bite the bullet and install it (worked like a charm after that), but it doesn't mean this is the problem for everyone. However, it was a fairly quick flash drive, I never experienced a failure while writing (which I did at least a couple dozen times trying to troubleshoot the problem) or any misbehavior at all, except that Bliss hated it for booting. About 1 boot in 10 would work, and it would act sketchy. If you really want to give Bliss a good test run, you may need to pick up a reasonably priced fast thumb drive or just install to a partition on your disk. If you're on a tight budget, a partition on your disk is pretty easy to create (just make sure you read up on what you're doing, you do NOT want to make a mistake with it and lose all your data on the drive) and you can always delete it and recover the space if you decide to go a different route.
[BLISS ROMS Development] tanmay99:
Uhm I am pretty much experienced with partitions and all. So I think I should try installing it on an ext4 partition to see what happens. And regarding the shell thing, in debug mode the terminal is working fine even all directories are listed so I may think there is no great problem with the usb flash drive. But on twice exit (on continuing booting to Android), the same underscore comes and all output (+input) dies, even the flash drive led indicator does not blink. Anyways, going to install the same latest generic build

UPDATE: No use. Again stuck at the same place (now /dev/sda6). And I cannot reach no shell by using control plus any arrow.

UPDATE #2 I tried booting it with vulkan support same happened, and the same with no setup wizard option. But when I run it with Hardware Acceleration disabled this works.

So I could finally boot into Android and now I can actually use it. The question is, does disabling hardware acceleration have any effect on performance. Btw, it runs smoothly, and haven't used it much so can't review it now. Also, it always shows 0 percent battery, and LawnChair date widget shows Low Battery-0%.
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
It sounds as though you have not read the Troubleshooting section @ docs.blissroms.com

Or

The Update Release Posts listed for every build, here in this forum(3rd post). If you had read, you'd know the the battery percentage issue is known.

Please review the resources mentioned above.

You can also join out Telegram chat for more support. Using the "search" function of that chat for a keyword like "AMD GPU" will rev Al discussions and what has worked for others.

Also, we've been recommending installing to a NTFS partition since Bliss 12.x alpha builds have been released

how to add bliss os to grub? what is the grub entry to boot?

and does any kernel version has rtl8821ce driver?

thanks
[BLISS ROMS Development] izwb003:
Well, I'm sorry that do you mean I need to try a version that has an "ipts" label in the file name? I tried this and boot the LiveCD through a USB disk:Bliss-v11.10--OFFICIAL-20191215-1101_x86_64_k-k4.19.24-ax86-ipts2_m-18.3.5-pie-x86-llvm80_ld-2.4.99-ma-p_dg-pie-x86_dh-undefined_gms.iso, But it stuck at "Detecting Android-x86... found at /dev/sda4" and it can't boot... I also tried the "No Hardware Acceleration" in the grub menu,

it booted successfully but ... as I see, still no sound...

I'm sorry and I want to know if I did something wrong or not. I will try to install the previous version I tried and attach some logs. And also I am sorry for my poor English speaking skill... Thanks!
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
Again.... Please read the "troubleshooting" section at docs.blissroms.com.

Should also utilize the "search" function of this thread, which is incredibly useful to search through the existing discussions(Thanks XDA!!!) for details about a particular subject matter. For example, "Surface 3" and then look for what Surface users have offered works for them. We get far more 3 Pro users, so will take some effort to search. But non Pro model users have had success and shared here in this thread ?
[BLISS ROMS Development] izwb003:
Well, does the speakers works well too? I tried in the same way but the speakers refused to work... :confused:

And also, how did you add the firmware files to the Live boot? Which firmware file did you use on a Surface 3? There are many firmware files on the docs site's link and it doesn't say anything about Surface 3 non Pro...

But also... Are you using the generic build to do these?

ALSO... Congratulations for your success!
[BLISS ROMS Development] izwb003:
Well, I apologize but... I searched this thread about my device and some information, someone really did it but I didn't find anything useful for me... I also read the troubleshooting section and other documents, but I learned nothing either... :crying:

I tried some methods mentioned in this thread but none of them is workable... such as editing the grub booting parameter or copying firmware files... It just refused to boot while showing "Detecting Android-x86... found at /dev/sda4". By using Generic builds it booted successfully, however, without any sound, whatever I do...

I am really sorry about that and I still think that I did something wrong, but I can't find it. Running Android on my Surface 3 is really a cool thing and I really hope I can use it comfortably, just to solve this little problem... Could you give me more instructions about that? By the way, thank you for everything you and your team did for this Operating System!
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
Did you try to install a 3rd party EQ app that can boost volume as suggested in the recent release update post?
[BLISS ROMS Development] izwb003:
Yes. No sound at all, either... :(

Surface pro 4 2015

hi,

first of all you are doing a great job on porting android for surface pro, i was using bliss 10.1 1639 ipts on my surface pro 4 (2015), it works very great without touchscreen failure, now i am using the lastest bliss (11.10 pie ipts) installed with the windows installer (the easiest way in my opinion) and it is really better, vulkan is very fast and games are more compatible..... the only small flaw is that the touchscreen randomly stop, i have three questions:

1- do you know if there is a way to reactivate the touchscreen via the terminal ? (i've searched in this forum and on google, i found something about "modprobe intel-ipts" but unfortunately it's not that easy!!!)

2- maybe that will make you laugh because i am a beginner but is there a way to use the firmware and the kernel from the bliss 10.1 1639 sp4 on bliss 11.10 ipts to resolve touchscreen issue ?

3- the screen resolution of my sp4 is 2736x1824, some games lose fluidity and heat up the tablet, I use "resolution changer 1.4" to play in 1440x960 or 1280x800, it works but it works but is it possible to force one of these resolution at startup or permanently in bliss ?

in any case, thank you for your efforts and for sharing your projects (I am French, and like most of my compatriots I speak an English which is only learned in France, sorry for that)

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

I have one last question, I use rmxtool to extract the system.img, I change the firmware for my sp4 and if I put the system.img in sfs with the firmware of jakeday the touch does not work, does it's normal ?
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
https://docs.blissroms.com/Bliss OS/troubleshooting/

Please review the grub2 section for display options you can use to set a specific resolution at boot.

If you use the S arch function provid d by XDA here in this forum, and look for "ipts reset" or "surface touch fix" or along those lines, you will find the command you can enter via terminal to restore touch functionality.

The touch stop working issue should be resolved in upcoming release. Keep an eye out for future builds announced(do not ask for eta's?)
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
I'd also like to mention that if I were to have a newer surface device, the chances of me getting back into the kernel development for those would increase greatly. This is not something I can afford on my own, so the other option is the community.
[BLISS ROMS Development] Tyakrish:
Hi... I have been using blissOS blissfully for sometime now...

I am a Linux user, and I had bliss installed in a folder called blissOS at the root of my ext4 partition, with grub2 entries and a data folder within the blissOS folder rather an a data.img.

Recently, I switched my Linux distro to another distro. Before that, I backed up the entire blissOS folder by compressing it into a tar.gz

When I restored that backup, bliss got detected fine, but got stuck at boot logo.

I figured the data folder somehow got corrupted, so I deleted all the files within the data folder and after that bliss booted fine.

Is there is way to find out what exactly is causing the boot stuck issue ? Any way to restore my data without any problems ?

How to take logs in android x86, during such cases when the device gets stuck at boot ? If anyone can point me to the proper resource, it'll be appreciated.
[BLISS ROMS Development] bfmetcalf:
Can't remember the exact folder, but look for the cache folder and delete everything in it. i think it's in the root of the data folder.
[BLISS ROMS Development] Tyakrish:
Unfortunately, that didn't work for me. Deleted the cache, dalvik cache folders as well. No profit.

I guess I should have made a data.img :(

Edit:

I noticed one thing. When I restored my backup, I made sure that my apps were okay (the installed apks under /data/apps). But when it got stuck at boot logo, then I booted back to Linux and saw that the app folder became empty, which means my apps disappeared.

I guess its some kind of internal process that Android does, by which it auto detects data corruption and deletes all installed apps. Some kind of a security measure.

Seems like the only way to avoid this is to use data.img next time...
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
It's likely a filesystem ownership issue since it was restored. Make sure you're extracting then inheriting the attributes for the new user/machine

hey is touch screen works with bliss os mine is not working
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
As long as it's added to our kernel, the touchscreen should work out of the box. What kind of touchscreen components does your device have?

Hi [MENTION=928479]electrikjesus[/MENTION]

Installed the new Android 10 beta on my Dell L501X laptop, it's working very well, audio works with the built in audio but I wanted to use a USB headset instead, is this possible?
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
Should work. Audio can route via USB. Since you already have Bliss OS installed, why not test yourself? And please report back ?
[BLISS ROMS Development] djsubterrain:
I did plug my headphones in but there was no popup shown and I couldn't see anything in settings, is there somewhere specific I should be looking? Sound was still coming out of the speakers. I haven't checked in multiple USB ports yet tho.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
If it doesn't work right for you then it can be the device drivers included in the kernel. If you can hunt around the web for linux kernel driver modules that are reported working perfectly with Linux kernel-4.19, and report those back here, we can get them added to the source. Or you can make a pull request with the changes

Bezpieczeństwo systemu?

Jak wygląda bezpieczeństwo systemu?. Miałem zainstalować bankowość internetową ale apka ostrzegła mnie że posiadam wersję androida nie z oryginalnej zatwierdzonej dystrybucji i może mieć to wpływ na bezpieczeństwo danych czy na pewno się na to zgadzam. To mnie powstrzymało przed bankowością internetową ale idąc dalej przecież sama aktywacja konta gogle powoduje synchronizację różnych haseł i dostępów które w systemie potem zostają, czy dane te nie są w jakiś sposób wykradane, jak to jest z tym bezpieczeństwem w Bliss OS?.

From translator :

What does system security look like? I was supposed to install online banking but the app warned me that I have an android version not from the original approved distribution and it may affect data security or I definitely agree. This stopped me from online banking but going further, after all, activating the goggle account alone synchronizes various passwords and accesses that remain in the system afterwards, whether these data are not stolen in any way, how is this security in Bliss OS ?.
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
XDA primarily uses the English language in it's forums.

I'm not even sure of what language that is to attempt to translate.

Convert your post to English please, if you want any help ?
[BLISS ROMS Development] KKJdrunkenmonkey:
Luckily, Google Translate has a nice "Detect Language" feature which says this is Polish. He's asking if Bliss OS is secure, and if so, why is his banking app forcing him to agree to continue after warning him about a possible lack of security.

Direct copy-paste from Google Translate:

What does system security look like? I was supposed to install internet banking but the app warned me that I have an android version not from the original approved distribution and it may affect data security or I certainly agree. This stopped me from online banking but going further, after all, activating the goggle account alone synchronizes various passwords and accesses that remain in the system afterwards, are these data not stolen in any way, how is this security in Bliss OS?
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
Sure... I could have spent the time and effort to translate someone's post. Or, that time and effort could be allocated to things more useful. Am aware of the capabilities of Google Translate. Just prefer someone not leave additional work/steps for our team... In order to try and assist them. Not how I will spend my morning drinking my coffee and getting my day of Bliss work underway. Hope that's understandable.

Any app that has a root checker built in, is going to detect that there is root in place, why it gave you that alert.

There are no various passwords that remain on your system, there is not stolen data, Google encrypts your data backups, and these will have no affect on the security of your device. Bliss OS, as well as our ROM offerings, include recent security patches, as of now that includes the February 2020 security patches.

If you have concerns regarding your financial information on an Android operating system, suggest you read and educate yourself on how encryption works, how Auto fill and password backups work with Google. And, if you need to access your bank account, but the app won't work(although that is a standard security warning and does not automatically mean that anything at all is compromised, just warning you that root access exists, and you should know what you are doing!) Then you can simply login with a web browser of your choice and security features you desire.
[BLISS ROMS Development] KKJdrunkenmonkey:
That's fair to some extent, but you literally spent more time writing a response to him asking for an English translation than the 15 seconds it takes to paste it into Google Translate and see if it comes across in a readable state. Asking for a better translation if it is garbled is totally worthwhile, no sense going back and forth when his question is unclear, but literally spending more time to not do work doesn't make sense to me.
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
When you volunteer to manage my personal life's day to day, as well as my workflow and efforts with Bliss... You can decide how and when my limited free time and efforts are allocated. For right now, makes no difference if you understand or agree. Thank you for pitching in to help with this fella's foreign language. However, you are missing the point and the precedent set. My choice to translate, or not, will not change. A user can post in English and receive help. Or not.

English only in this forum thread. Please and thank you.
[BLISS ROMS Development] KKJdrunkenmonkey:
No, actually, I hadn't. I already understood that if someone else does the scutwork of running things through Google Translate for you, it may save you time that you feel could be better spent on other things. On the other hand, my point was that your stance comes across as a lazy intolerance of other people's cultures - particularly when it would literally take you less time to try translating it than to write up a response telling someone you won't help them because you don't like their language. You do you, though.
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
Junior member.... I have been on XDA for over a decade.

There is zero laziness or intollerance on my part.

Myself, and my team members, do our work on Bliss and share with the public. Myself, do not speak Polish. Speak English. Time spent towards deciphering someone else's language is not time I will spend. And honestly, is not realistic or reasonable to EXPECT.

Nobody is entitled to my time or efforts, or the products of our collective team work. Question was post d in Polish(appearently?) And I requested that he ask questions in English. Plain and simple. If that seems unreasonable to anybody? Sorry, but not sorry. I will not stand for being called lazy or intolerant for such.

We are here to assist users. And I do so on a daily basis across all the d vices we officially support, as well as the thousands of potential hardware configurations that we compile Bliss OS for. You assuming I have any spare time to further that process, by translating different languages, is an incorrect assumption. If not to your liking, so be it.

This one ntire conversation has now been a waste of time. Notice how the original poster in "Polish" has not returned to the convo? You are arguing something that is want even initially dirrcted to you by the original poster or myself. You've now inserted yourself in the convo, and are now veering away from the initial subject matter and unnecessarily posting and continuing this pointless debate. Feel free to not participate in this thread, or do so. With English. And without your opinions. I will not reply further on this. Hope you are enjoying your day. Take care
[BLISS ROMS Development] KKJdrunkenmonkey:
Yes, yes, and we're all very impressed.

Are you? Because before the Polish guy the previous five posts were also requests for help, in English, and you chose to ignore them to instead tell someone who posted in a foreign language that you refuse to help him. This lackluster support is the only reason I spoke up.

You say you won't stand for being called lazy. Fine - then do something about it. Answer their questions. I'll be happy to be proven wrong. :good:
[BLISS ROMS Development] DoughMucker:
Nope. You're wrong here. They already volunteer their time building and supporting this to whatever degree they can. And then they get thankless people saying they should do more.

Hello, could you please add Realtek audio drivers to bliss 12.2 or 11.10?

Drivers attached.

Regards.

[BLISS ROMS Development] KKJdrunkenmonkey:
I sincerely disagree. Volunteering for a job means you've taken on the responsibilities of that job; people will reasonably expect you to do that job. If you volunteer to coach a kids' after-school sports program but only choose to help one kid in seven develop their skills, you're going to have some upset parents. If you volunteer at a library and ignore five requests for help then respond to the sixth person with the sole purpose of deliberately turning them away, because they don't speak your language and you're too lazy to get fetch the interpreter on staff, people are going to be understandably upset. Being a volunteer doesn't give you a free pass to not perform the role you've chosen to take on.

Time is precious; I get it. But to pretend that you're giving good support when ignoring a week's worth of requests, pretending not to know how to use a translation service ("I'm not even sure of what language that is to attempt to translate," direct quote) then admitting that you knew the whole time but lied because you didn't want to do it, then getting upset and swinging your e-ween around regarding how much longer you've been signed up on an internet forum and complaining that people expect you to do things and all the while continuing to ignore the other requests for help... I don't think I'm wrong to say that this is not a good way to provide support.

How can I increase internal storage of a Bliss OS dual boot installation

I installed Bliss Os 11.7 (Kernel 4.9) as a dual boot with Win 10. Everything great, but the 8 GB I assigned Bliss OS is not enough.

How can I increase the size of my bliss os image?

_______________________

Update:

No help needed anymore, accidentally overwrote the Windows partition while playing around. But like Bliss OS better than Windows, anyhow, so no worries... at least I got enough internal memory in Android now. ;)

Will leave this question here in case anybody wants to answer it for others to find the answer.

BTW: Bliss OS works fine on Acer Switch 3. Only build working is V11.7, Kernel 4.9, used in vulkan experimental mode. Single issue left: occasional touchscreen stops responding after long stay in lockscreen (deep sleep)

Keep up the great work! Thanks+Kudos!
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
The sleep issues on that device are actually caused by the HID_RMI kernel module and the touchpad/keyboard. You should try to blacklist hid_rmi and modprobe hid_multitouch for the trackpad to kinda work (singletouch), but you will be able to sleep at least.
[BLISS ROMS Development] fstandhartinger:
Thanks, I'm a bit of a linux noob, so I am not sure I'll get this right. But I'll try.

BTW: Found some other minor issues that don't keep me from enjoying the Bliss OS installation. Still the upgrade from Windows to Bliss OS is a huge improvement for my old notebook. :)

Issues: SD Card not detected, screenshots not working, Bluetooth not working, Front facing camera not working, Screen not auto rotating, Reboot is shutting down instead of rebooting.

Anyhow, amazing work! Thanks for making this possible! :good:
