How can I expand/ increase in size my existing Bliss OS /AndroidOS/data.img?

I am bumping: How can we expand/ increase in size our existing Bliss OS /AndroidOS/data.img?

None of the tools for Windows which have been mentioned on the net (latest versions of PhoenixOS Android PC Toolbox, RMXTools, Toporesize) are able to expand or re-create data.img in a Bliss OS compatible way, but cause Bliss OS to hang displaying the blue animated logo.

Neither any of the many Linux flavors of dd commands I have found worked.

Is it because data.img contains several partitions inside - data and internal storage (with a fixed ratio), so all known approaches for other Android on PC OSes set a wrong amount of blocks because they don't know the #s matching each partition?

Regardless of internal technicalities, can you please share with us either a tool (for Linux, Windows and/or macOS) which can do that, or at least a reliable and verified (set of) Linux bash command(s)?

Running latest Bliss OS 11.11 on my Windows NTFS partition via UEFI boot menu.

Also for data.img would you please consider to asap implement a sparse(-like) image which auto-grows like VMWare images do, which will take the hassle of running into a data jam.

But step-by-step: for now (after successlessly messing with this for hours in Windows and Linux bash late into the nite) I simply need to expand data.img in a guided way. Thank you.

screen refresh rate

Hello. I tried several assemblies of your system and on some assemblies the refresh rate of my screen was 120hz, and on some 60hz. My display supports 240hz 1080p. How do you change the resolution and refresh rate on your Bliss 12.6 build?

Bliss-OS-Merkaba-v12.6-android_x86_64-OFFICIAL-202004231931_k-k5.6.2-si-yling-rmi_m-10.0.8-ax86_ld-2.4.100-ax86-ma_dg-_dh-_mg-_gms_cros-hd_cros-wv-amd

I've tried different options. One option is to modify the android.cfg file (which is located in the grub 2 bootloader folder). I added the

video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080-32@120D

parameter to this file, the screen refresh rate changes, but until the operating system boots, then it becomes 1080p 60hz ..

# $1 Kernel dir
# $2 Title
# $3... Kernel cmdline
function add_boot_entry {
menuentry "$2" "$@" --class android-x86 {
savedefault
set root=$android
if [ ! -e $2/kernel ]; then
search --no-floppy --set root -f $2/kernel
fi
set kd=$2
shift 3
linux $kd/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64 video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080-32@120D $src $@
initrd $kd/initrd.img
}
}

I also tried the

debug.drm.mode.force=1920x1080@120

in build.prop file but it doesn't work. What to do?

Sorry for my bad english, i use google translate.
[BLISS ROMS Development] RootedLee:
Thank you [MENTION=928479]electrikjesus[/MENTION], the resize2fs command (preceded by e2fsck) worked like a charm on data.img so I did not bother to try any of the other options.

Can you please include this in the Bliss docs pages, maybe under https://docs.blissroms.com/Bliss OS/extras/ (unless you know a better section). That would help others in the future. Mahalo.

cant seem to find the latest 11.11 bliss ipts build, looking for my SP5
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
If there is no latest ipts build then use a old one. If i recall correctly the developer [MENTION=928479]electrikjesus[/MENTION] stated his surface is broken/missing, was looking for a one from the community. so there will be no more ipts builds, developer said

and another thing i remember was the latest ipts builds dont boot/ dont work/bootloop or crash-something like that,

maybe developer found one im not sure.

Bliss OS 11.12 x86_64 Generic - Kernel 4.19.122 - Build Date 2020-09-25

!! Please remember to not quote these update posts, or any of the OP's !!

Another update for Bliss OS, bringing us to version 11.12 now. The majority of changes are minor fixes, Gearlock updates, and switching back to ChromeOS's Houdini since there are currently problems with Android-x86's servers.

Notes on sleep states:

- They work on most machines when using Vulkan mode. DRM/GRALLOC mode results may vary.

To run in Vulkan mode:

- You will need to select Vulkan from advanced grub menu, or manually add "VULKAN=1" to Grub command line

Builds being uploaded:

Bliss-v11.12--OFFICIAL-20200925-0851_x86_64_k-k4.19.122-ax86-ga-rmi_m-p9.0-x86_dgc-p9.0-x86-crhd_gms.iso

Native Bridge:

Is pre-enabled in these builds. Still no ARM64 support, so please stop asking.

Known new issues:

BoringdroidUI Navbar Plugins stop working on state change. We are looking into this issue still

Sleep states might not be working right by default on non Vulkan & IA-Hardware-Composer builds (Still working on it). Some can cause SystemUI to restart (lockscreens won't be of any use due to this)

Power buttons may still not work on a few machines.

Some SDcards might not mount right. Please use SDCARD=/dev/sdx from Grub or manually mount from alt-f1 console

Changelog:

Changelogs are working again, check the build download folder for the changelogs.

Thanks, and have a Blissfull time!!

Guys am using the latest build pie

When trying to record screen via gearlock .. i open terminal and gives it root permission but i got error =-38

Am running the system from a usb with 4.6 gb data image

Any help appreciated.
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
You cant record screen from any app or even screenrecord command when you boot in vulkan mode.

Boot in normal mode, I stopped using vulkan mode just because i cant record screen. I guess h.264 codec doesnt work in vulkan enabled. Annyway darkmatter can record with vulkan.
[BLISS ROMS Development] mahir555:
Thank you so much.

Video Recording worked but unfortunately without audio . Do you get audio with your recordings?
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
Don't use that terminal, there's a.built-in one which doesn't need root permission. use alt+F1 and type g and enter for gearlock.

Audio is recorded in separate folder

sdcard/gearlock-recordings/audio

It's not internal audio but from the microphone. [MENTION=294244]axon[/MENTION] at supreme-gamers.com developed gearlock and he stated that he is working on proper software based implementation of recording audio.

But gearlock page https://supreme-gamers.com/resources/gearlock-custom-recovery-replacement-for-android-x86.40/ says that internal audio is supported so try reporting it in supreme-gamers.com

Also don't forget to install Mesa version 20 to get high performance and great graphics(only if you have Intel GPU)

From here https://supreme-gamers.com/resources/mesa-graphics-rendering-drivers-by-hmtheboy154.29/
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
[MENTION=700493]mahir555[/MENTION] Internal audio will be implemented in upcoming darkmatter exo 4.7, but not in bliss-os unless it comes with gearlock, it is an android api limitation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYTUXecdas8 It is available for beta testers.

Replies by darkmatter developers

Sorry for disturbing but this is to let you know that this is a known issue.
[BLISS ROMS Development] mahir555:
Thank you for this clarification .

For me even the external mic audio not recorded .. nither via gearlock nor via built-in screen recorder.

I can live with that waiting for android 11 build as i think it has enabled internal audio recording by default.
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
I think you can record internal audio on android 10

many screen recorder apps say internal audio can be recorded on android 10+

But it may not work on android-x86

keep in mind also arm apps are not supported in android 10

++++ Type the word g and press Enter to run gearlock in here.

++++ Press Alt + F8 if you can't type here.

in fact i can t type then if i press Alt + F8 it will clear the crean and i have the prompt root@gearlock:/$

Try the old "unsupported" nougat versions of Bliss-x86
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
Eww nougat

[MENTION=9975682]VivaAndroid[/MENTION] Since we have gearlock now, you can install 4.9 kernel on any bliss os version even bliss is 12(no arm app support bliss 12. Don't go for old nougat.

Chariot is the code name given to kernel 4.9 by darkmatter development team

Or else if you love nougat at least go for prime OS classic or Phoenix OS. Remix os and Phoenix os darkmatter mod. These have nice features.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Have you had success using Chariot 4.9 on our Pie & Q builds?
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
I havent tried yet, but you already have pie builds with kernel 4.9?

mesa version 18.3.5 also should be used

I will try it today on carbon rom and pie

Kernels can be taken anywhere i think, mesa version and architecture matters

RIP rtl8821ce users

I feel sad for you

Bliss OS 12 have removed support for rtl8821ce in kernel 5.8

Use intel wifi that have great linux performance, or bliss os pie

And the tomaspinho driver used doesnt have 5ghz

Or else build custom kernel including rtw88 branch so you have 5ghz wifi and rtl8821ce support
[BLISS ROMS Development] VivaAndroid:
I got it why now, it's not a problem about not supported new kernel after 4.4... the problem was simply caused why i was downloading and trying the iso 64 bit because my cpu is 64 bit.. but i tryed to download the 32 bit x86 and it s also working the Android 9 !! ;)

Thank you very much and i hope to help somebody with my post.

Do a kernel swap with that old version or build custom kernel.

Alternate solution: try the 2020-04-14 build here https://sourceforge.net/projects/blissos-x86/files/Official/bleeding_edge/Generic builds - Pie/
[BLISS ROMS Development] death_entry:
That build didn't work (same black screen on after live menu selection), I will have to look into doing a kernel swap..
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
Keep in mind that's a old kernel and probably not suitable for demanding tasks like video processing, gaming, 3d animation, building and rendering

Windows might be better if it doesn't have good performance

Bliss is 12 has kernel 5.8

Why doesn't bliss is 11 have kernel 5?

Kernel 5 removes UI lag, solves random freezing, better resource management, support for new Intel WiFi chipsets. I wonder people download bliss OS pie twice more than the android 10 bliss OS. Maybe because of arm apps support and most people don't need android 10 and they use Bliss os for gaming. Even some popular Android apps and fps games only have arm libraries.

And I understand that all carbon Ron Tesla OS bliss OS are done by one person.

This is only a question

My samsung galaxy book 10.6 can boot but wifi not working, touchscreen inverted, no auto-rotate. Any advice?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
No real reason other than resources and time. I only have one main server I use to build with, and my time to do so is very limited. This was why I opened everything up source wise,in hopes others would see the potential I do and chip in. Here we are, 5 years later...

Pie will take a little more work to build our newer kernels, as wellas get 32bit builds working again, so I have to pick and choose my battles. Keep kicking this horse thats mostly already dead, or keep paving a path so others can continue where I'm unable?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Troubleshoot. All three of those problems have at least 5 threads on Android-x86 's Google Groups where solutions were presented. Its not easy work, but its rewarding if you take the time and effort. My first suggestion is to read our troubleshooting section of wiki.blissroms.com and then move onto ax86 groups
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
For me, Kernel 5.4 /5.8 /5.6 boots only with mesa 19.3 or newer.

I compiled mesa 20.1 and now I have pie with kernel 5 working fine, the performance of the system is amazing. Especially for new intel 8th generation and new AMD kernel 5 is great, with kernel 4.19 sometimes the whole system freezes, now it doesn't.

I could get the best gaming experience on bliss os. The android x86 team use mesa 19.3 in their pie builds so simply installing kernel 5.8 gearlock extension works, In bliss OS I have to compile new mesa.

Hey guys, I've installed Bliss OS version 11.13 on my tablet with an Atom Z3795 processor.

There is still no audio on my device, sadly.

Is there any fixes that I could try?? I can't seem to find much audio fixes.
[BLISS ROMS Development] rei9995:
I see "Adding your linux drivers" in: https://wiki.blissroms.org/index.php?title=Bliss_OS/Troubleshooting

Can you make a turtorial? I have some linux drivers for my device. Ubuntu run perfectly.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Use Gearlock to try out the alsa-audio presets to help fix most of the common audio related issues.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
I will try and add it to my list of things.
[BLISS ROMS Development] kilaxsith:
Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately none of the five presets did anything. I changed it in the Gearlock app under Game/System tweaks, and then tested to see if any audio came out. I didn't reboot after each run either.

Anything else I should try?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
If you're using a USB-C charger, try rebooting and not plugging it in as some devices seem to think there's an external audio source connected wit USB-C sometimes. Haven't been able to track down why it happens yet.
[BLISS ROMS Development] kilaxsith:
My laptop has no USB C port, though. Just a proprietary charger port and a USB port and SD slot. Is there any other way?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
If youve also tried installing an app like Gooddev volume booster, and that still doesn't work with any of the alsa presets, your last resort is ax86 ggroups. Check Android-x86 Google groups for more specific audio chipset solutions.

Hey. I have an intel graphics card by default in BlissOS on my laptop. Accordingly, the discrete nvidia video card is not. There is no intel videocard disable setting in BIOS. I put in grub i915.modeset = 0 nouveau.modeset = 1 - but it doesn't give any results. Also in /system/etc/modules.blacklist I added the line blacklist i915. Help to solve the problem, Thanks.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
I think we may need to adjust our init scripts to pay attention to the x.modeset flag.
[BLISS ROMS Development] sanek184:
All so commands i915.modeset = 0 nouveau.modeset = 1 BlissOS sees. It can be seen that hardware acceleration is killed in the MX player. But hardware accelerated nvidia never works. Works fine on PrimeOS
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
In laptops nvidia graphic cards do not work, hybrid gpu switching doesn't work in android.

Even if you got Nvidia GPU to work it will be 10x worse then your intel gpu

Nvidia doesn't have open source drivers for linux

On desktop there is a chance for nvidia gpu to work

EDIT: If prime os works, try taking the kernel and mesa from prime os and put into bliss os, still nvidia gpu is worse than intel on android.
[BLISS ROMS Development] sanek184:
I'm sorry. I was a little mistaken and misled you. in PrimeOS MXPlayer shows hardware acceleration in HW+ codecs, but not in BlissOS. Also in the Twitch program in BlissOS FHD lags. How to use hardware acceleration Intel HD2500(i915) in video codecs? This is fine with PrimeOS.

UPDATE: I examined in more detail. It turns out FHD lags only in 2 applications. Twitch, Youtube. In the rest of the others applications, everything is fine. it looks like it's a 60fps video. 30 - without lags
[BLISS ROMS Development] towelfox:
Adding for search and fyi. My setup does not allow for using ps4 dualshock controller over Bluetooth l. I've tried many kernels and bliss/android x86 variants. It connects ok but does not register as an input device. This seems to be a problem with hid_sony. You can make it work by forcing the generic hid driver to deal with the device. Pass the kernel parameter hid.ignore_special_drivers=1

This will work fine apart from the led colour being wrong and the touchpad only registering as a button press. Obviously if you're using other specific hid driver's you will have side effects.

Hope this helps someone until properly fixed.

Hi all, i tried several images of android x86 and choosed bliss 11.13 as best solution for my

HP Pavilion Dv3 2350 el 13.3"

Intel Core i3-330M with integrated Intel GMA HD

4gb ram DDr£

GPU AMD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4550 with512 MByte dedicated up to 1723 shared

It almost work fine exept for the ati gpu that not seem working

Bliss is the only one that play web video (with firefox) and youtube but NOT WITH CHROME.

Why embedded videos work fine with firefox but not in chrome and only with .mp4 video?

i tried to turn off th hw acceleratiion but con't work.

Could be a codec problem?

HTML5 problem?

If i boot kernel in NOMODESET everything works but obviosly in a very poor graphic.

How can i solve it, i google it and look in xda but most of the solution require to disable the hw acceleration in chrome,

i've done it, don't work.

Is there a way to make working ati gpu?

Thanks

This is the link to one video that i can't play
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
that video plays fine for me on firefox browser

try these four kernel parameters, one at a time

radeon.modeset=1 i965.modeset=0

amdgpu.modeset=1 i965.modeset=0

amdgpu.modeset=1 i915.modeset=0

radeon.modeset=1 i915.modeset=0

if you try these and get "bad graphic" that means you get swiftshader only

you should try installing kernel 4.9 with the included gearlock tool

hardware accelerated codecs have some problems

Setting dual GPU to work is possible, but always a pain. The modules need to be loaded at a precise time and in a precise order. during the load process of amdgpu, module kgd2kfd_init is not available at the precise time when amdgpu needs it. Firmware maybe missing for amdgpu You may also need to modify load_modules() in initrd script auto-detect. what is the output of ls /dev/dri ?

Can you boot in debug mode and give the log saved at /data/log.txt
