Is there a way to install a custom grub menu? I tried to research the topic but I am not sure....
[BLISS ROMS Development] bfmetcalf:
Yes, grub can be installed manually, looking through Linux installation instructions would probably be a good start. You can install Bliss OS completely manually if you want to, it's how I installed it.
[BLISS ROMS Development] xhamadeex:
Thanks for replying.

Do I need to have Linux installed first?

Do I need to format and reinstall everything?

I saw this post.. Do you think it will work?

https://github.com/timobaehr/Surface-Boot-Themes

Thank you.
[BLISS ROMS Development] bfmetcalf:
You don't need to have Linux installed to install grub and you shouldn't need to format and reinstall anything, just need to get the grub files to the boot partition. I'm not the person to ask how to do it with windows installed though as I don't have Windows on my laptop, Linux/Bliss dual boot.

Live CD Boot : Struck on boot menu,Why?

I want to install BlissOS 11 to my laptop (HP Spectre x360 15).

I downloaded the iso file (Bliss-v11.11--OFFICIAL-20200803-1959_x86_64_k-k4.19.122-ax86-ga-rmi_m-p9.0-x86_dgc-p9.0-ax86-houdini_ax86gms.iso) and flashed it to my pen drive using Rufus 3.11(ISO mode).

But when I try to boot into the Live Mode or the installer (Secure Boot Off), it struck at the boot menu with a black area in the center.

After that I tried to using DD mode in the Rufus to flash it , but I still get the same disappointing result as the picture shows.

Could anyone explain why it didn't work and help me out?

Lessons learnt, never mount C: drive
[BLISS ROMS Development] shwescorpion:
I installed " Bliss-v11.11--OFFICIAL-20200803-1959_x86_64_k-k4.19.122-ax86-ga-rmi_m-p9.0-x86_dgc-p9.0-ax86-houdini_ax86gms.iso"

over old rom "20200624" and works great.

But found some issues .... and how can I make them permanent.

1) System time is went back to GMT 00:00 after reboot nomatter I set to different time zone.

2) Androidx86 Native Bridge is OFF after reboot even I've set to ON.

3) Added virtual keyboard is no more after reboot.

How to mount HDD different partition to android?

SDCARD=/dev/block/sdx from Grub entry doesn't work for me.
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
All of the above issues are caused by not connected to a network. nativebridge downloads a file approximately 50mb if not connected to a network it will be switched off. system time needs network to sync.

NEVER USE GRUB TO MOUNT PARTITION, ANDROID WILL F YOUR HARD DRIVE

it wont work by grub there is another way via terminal alt+f1 to open and alt+f7 to close and you can also do it automatically on boot by init.d, search for it
[BLISS ROMS Development] shwescorpion:
Thanks for the advice.

FYI, my wi-fi is always connected to network.

old version 20200624 work everything.

I'll try your method to mount.

How about virtual keyboard?

I think it might not depend on network.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
A-1) I noticed this as well, will have to check if I missed the clock commit.

A-2) Please read the last update post, it details the issue some are having with enabling NB, and a resolution.

A-3) This option is persistent for me. Might be a storage permissions thing, or other.

A-4) I use SDCARD=/dev/sda on my device, and that works without adding the block.
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
Good that I didnt install the new version. SDCARD=/dev/sda then android will mess up the hard drive creating folders. on a windows system it will take a hour fixing drive errors on next boot.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
I havent had that happen, but will look into it.

houdini/nativebridge

Hi,

I'm using the latest build (v11.11-20200803) and have a problem getting houdini/nativebridge to work.

I enabled Android x86 nativebridge under settings and it keeps activated. The libraries in /system/lib/arm/ also exist and even arm_dyn and arm_exe in /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/ are present. Still no luck.

For testing I used the Netflix app (7.68.4 build 38 35048) from Play Store. It doesn't start, but displays an error message: "This app is not compatible with your device...". I also tested a few other manually downloaded versions (different architectures) that didn't start either.

In the past, when I used releases before v11.10-20200411 where houdini was integrated from the beginning, there were no such problems. For further testing I installed both v11.11-20200803 and v11.10-20191214 inside VirtualBox and tried to start Netflix. On the v11.10-20191214 VM the app worked straight after setup.

The tablet I want to use bliss on doesn't work with v11.10-20191214 or v11.10-20200314 releases. It doesn't even boot. The v11.11-20200803 release however works very well. Everything behaves fine with the exception of certain apps that need houdini.

Since I set this tablet up for a relative it would be nice, if most of the apps available would work out of the box. I know this whole thing isn't optimized for x86_64 architecture and that there will always be some flaws, but under my experience it worked much better with v11.10-20191214 and v11.10-20200314 releases.

If it's possible to install houdini manually into v11.11-20200803 the way as in previous releases, please let me know. I noticed beside /system/lib/arm/ libraries there is houdini in /system/bin/ and arm_dyn + arm_exe in /system/etc/binfmt_misc/ (v11.10-20191214). But I guess it's not enough simply copying these files over to v11.11-20200803 or include it in system.img?

I plan on switching the houdini download to a server that shouldn't have any restrictions on it this weekend. Hopefully that is all it needs. Will let you guys know
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
Dont wait till developer fixes it. Your precious time wasted, follow my steps.

1. Enable native bridge and go to internal storage/arm, Is there a 924 byte file downloaded? It should be houdini9_y.sfs

2. Download houdini.sfs from here http://dl.android-x86.org/houdini.php?v=9_y

3. Rename it to houdini9_y.sfs and replace the 924 bytes file with the 40 mb file downloaded

4. Hit the thanks button if it worked!

you can choose to wait till developer lets you guys know, or follow the above method.

Select <Yes> to get root access.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
They need to be aware that selecting Yes to install system as rw only gives them the ability to mount system as rw once installed. They still need to use the alt-f1/f7 console to 'mount -o remount,rw /dev/loop0 /system' in order to gain rw access.

Thanks so much for this distribution and I ll put all my efforts on It reporting bugs, also using it as a main browser OS. Futhermore, that was a desire to use Android for PC, I have tried Phoenix OS and Remix OS which was very buggy, the first one had fewer bugs. I also tried Android-x86 and well It was just a 'get started with android for pc' distribution.

Thank you so much, I ll contribute, and when possible I ll donate as much I can. Keep going and don't give up of this OS Development, wish this team grow up as Linux Distros, such as Mint, Manjaro and Ubuntu, these are apparently the most popular distributions of GNU-Linux.

Issues on Ideapad D330

I've just installed Bliss OS 11.11 on my Ideapad D330 (there are lots of configurations of D330 - mine is the 1920x1200 / 128 GB / N4000 configuration). The ISO I used was Bliss-v11.11--OFFICIAL-20200803-1959_x86_64_k-k4.19.122-ax86-ga-rmi_m-p9.0-x86_dgc-p9.0-ax86-houdini_ax86gms.

When I press the power button on my device, it opens the power menu. Is there a way to configure it to lock the screen instead?

Also, and more annoyingly, System UI on the device crashes whenever the device goes into landscape mode, and the device is unusable until I rotate it back to portrait again. It did not do this when I first installed, only after I went through and customised a bunch of things in the "Blissify" settings. I've uploaded the logcat here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[BLISS ROMS Development] talljosh:
After a lot of trial and error, I've found that if I turn off "Show arrow keys while typing" under Buttons -> NavBar -> NavBar options, then I don't have this particular issue with not being able to use the device in portrait orientation.
[BLISS ROMS Development] talljosh:
I'm still playing around with Bliss OS on my Ideapad D330, and I'd value some tips on where to look to investigate the following issues:

(I'm an experienced Linux developer, but I have very little experience hacking on Android.)

* Camera: I've installed Open Camera, and it can access the device's rear camera, but not its front camera. The front camera would be much more useful to have working.

* Keyboard after sleep: when I wake the device from sleep with its physical keyboard connected, sometimes the keyboard just doesn't work until I disconnect and reconnect it.

* Hardware keyboard detection: even when the hardware keyboard is not attached to the tablet, the software keyboard only appears if I activate the "Keep it on screen while physical keyboard is active" setting.

Also, the device occasionally hangs and needs a restart. Can anyone give me a pointer on where to look after a reboot to try to diagnose what happened just before the reboot?

Thanks!
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Thats an odd one. Nice workaround though
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
We are slowly getting things added to our wiki when we have time, the answer to most of your questions can be found in the troubleshooting section: https://wiki.blissroms.com/index.php?title=Bliss_OS/Troubleshooting

The other place for troubleshooting is to check the notes in our Telegram chat: t.me/blissx86
[BLISS ROMS Development] talljosh:
Thanks for the pointer! I can't see any explicit mention of keyboard or camera on that wiki page (or anywhere on the wiki). Was it the section about Linux drivers that you wanted to direct me to? Do you suggest I should try to solve the problem in a desktop Linux distribution, then convert the driver to a kernel module?

Is the Telegram chat a better place to ask/work through these kinds of questions? I've never used Telegram before, but if it's the best place to get help from the community (or read the troubleshooting notes), I'm willing to install it.
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
Bliss OS is x86 but some Android apps only support arm architecture. Which is why there is a native bridge. Bliss os 12 has no native bridge but bliss os 11 has native bridge so you can run arm apps.

Go to apkmirror and find the x86 variant of your app
[BLISS ROMS Development] xV3rsus:
I tried searching for Clash Royale on ApkMirror but I didn't find anything unfortunately. How do I know which is the most stable build of Bliss 11 on my SP4?
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
If you downloaded through the play store and app not works/only works on android 9

Then it has no x86_64 or x86 support.

Apkpure (not apkmirror) says there is only arm64 support.

bliss os will not support it. Bliss 11 only support arm32 native bridge. Some old releases might have arm64 support
[BLISS ROMS Development] UglyStuff:
Hi everyone,

Forgive me if my question has already been answered in this thread or elsewhere in this forum, but I have a Leagoo T5c smartphone that comes with an Intel-based Spreadtrum-turned-Unisoc SC9853i-IA x86_64 SoC; the phone isn't Treble-compatible, and I'd just like to know if I can install Bliss OS on it or not, simple as that.

The phone is rooted, I have TWRP installed and the bootloader is unlocked. I also have ADB on my PC if need be.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
You will need to find a ROM for that device since it is a native android device. This projects filesystem/bootloader are for PC's not Phones
[BLISS ROMS Development] UglyStuff:
Hi, and thanks for taking the time.

See, that's what I don't get: On the Bliss OS website, you can see visuals of phones running the OS, plus if you check the right radio buttons (which I did, by mentioning that my phone wasn't Treble-compatible), you can download a ROM that's supposed to fit your device, as I did (got the Bliss-v12.12-angler-OFFICIAL-20200917).

That's what makes it so hard for me to understand: If this OS can be installed on an x86 phone, as mine is, what's with the bootloader and file system?

The bootloader on my phone is unlocked, file system for the user partition is f2fs (ext4 for the system partition), and that's it.

What makes my phone so different from any other x86_64 device Bliss OS is meant for?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Bliss ROM is for phones, Bliss OS is for PC's. It's easy to confuse.

BlissROMs.com

BlissOS.org
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
Techinically yes, but no.

If you can plug in a usb drive and have uefi boot, partition formatting tool then you can. but

Still it isnt meant for your device

Wifi, chipset, hardware components and hardware acceleration might not work as there wont/will be drivers.

You need your phones kernel source and device trees
[BLISS ROMS Development] UglyStuff:
OK, now I get it. So if I want to install Bliss on the phone, it'll have to be Bliss ROM, not OS. Now, is Bliss-v12.12-angler-OFFICIAL-20200917 a Bliss ROM, or is it a Bliss OS build?

I have it sitting on my desktop, ready to go...
[BLISS ROMS Development] cjeu100:
If you found it from blossroms.org and not blissos.org then it is. It must be for only your device, if not won't work.

Can you create the latest Surface Book Build (Surface Book 1 with Nvidia is mine) with touch for me? I don't have linux and can't transfer the files into the system.img due to read only.
[BLISS ROMS Development] UglyStuff:
Well, here's what I did: I went to the Bliss ROM website (not Bliss OS), to the question "Are you looking for our Android Pie device builds?", I answered "Yes", because the question is a bit hard to understand, but starting with a Pie-based build instead of a more unstable Q-based build seemed like the right choice.

Then to the question "Is it a GSI/Treble enabled device?", I answered "No", because my phone isn't Treble-compatible.

After that, I was greeted with a message that said "Great! Here's the link to our device builds for Pie", and under the Donation buttons was a link to the download page on SourceForge, where I was offered to download the latest "fajita" build, dated September 20, 2020, i.e. yesterday (all my troubles seemed so far away).

The build is downloading as we speak.
[BLISS ROMS Development] bfmetcalf:
fajita is the codename for a device which is a oneplus 6T so I very much doubt it will work and could do harm to your phone. You need to do a lot more research on how ROMs work on phones before you start to flash. I would recommend reading a lot.
[BLISS ROMS Development] UglyStuff:
Thanks for the advice, you probably saved my life! IMHO, they should make that more obvious on the website, could save a lot of people a lot of headache, you ask me.

As for reading, that's what I've been doing for the past month or so, and I'm none the wiser when it comes to what ROM could fit my device.

My understanding of all this, however faulty, is that you need the Android equivalent of drivers in Windows to "make things work" on your device, right?

Given the sheer number of budget phones and tablets out there using an x86 chipset to run Android, I just can't see how my own phone, which also has an x86_64 chipset, can't be upgraded to a newer version of Android than its current Nougat.

Where can I find the missing parts? Is there a repository of drivers somewhere? How hard is it to slipstream the adequate drivers into an existing x86_64 build?
[BLISS ROMS Development] bfmetcalf:
The bottom part is the part you need to research. From what I have seen your phone doesn't have any custom ROMs for it. You would probably need to build your own to get there. I would stop searching for a ROM for your phone and start searching for more basic understanding of what ROMs are and how they work. The x86_64 chipset is only a small portion; wifi chips, bluetooth chips, radio chips, touchscreens, everything has to have a driver which is baked into the kernel. It's not like Windows so much as Linux.

In any case, this thread is for BlissOS for PC's so you should probably find another place to ask the questions so we can keep this thread on topic.
[BLISS ROMS Development] UglyStuff:
OK, got it. Thanks for the heads-up, and sorry for the interruption!
