It would be most helpful if I was able to get my hands on a Ryzen device for development.

When I was just an Android device maintainer, things were easier to troubleshoot. But PCs require a little more capitol than I have at my disposal
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
I would love to be able to give you guys a working OTA/recovery for Bliss OS. But I cannot, because I am no windows developer. I've tried and failed many times.
[BLISS ROMS Development] relampagorojo93:
I'll try. I never tried checking the kernel of linux, the most closest thing I made was install manually a new kernel and find the drivers of the wifi to try something but didn't work. I can try to compare the two kernels of Bliss and Prime or Android x86, and try find that differences that lets my laptop work with Android. I can use my laptop to make the experiments.

Edit:

Just I would be a bit curious about the Wifi drivers. The realtek drivers for the moment I saw that they're only able to use using the "make" command to use the Makefile, but It's just for that kernel. Is there a way in Android to put them?

Edit 2:

I changed on the ISO the files "kernel" and "initrd.img" to check. Using the kernel of Prime let me start, and using the init I check that the Android find is from it, and it's really finding the system, so we can say that the startup is compatible or I want to think it, but I don't know, cause this:

In this one I can think that it's a logo that blinks

https://drive.google com/file/d/1c4vupHcAJzNqssJWRQTuxbP1R5LKlG5l/view

In this other one I think that is when the OS gets loaded

https://drive.google com/file/d/1qZW_vv-2S1-bcsDAsEiTBtvg0xuzTsIP/view

I think here is where start the render incompatibility with the Radeon Vega

If you are able to, try and come into our Telegram chat and share the files there. We could go over things easier on a chat platform.

A noob question :p

can i use this os to play pubg m?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
I do. But not all hardware acts the same
[BLISS ROMS Development] Nikesh Singh:
what are the problems?

can you please specify?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Mostly the touchscreen issues with some devices, and lack of GPU support in some of the kernels we build with
[BLISS ROMS Development] wizzdome:
Hello, I think i am having compatibility issues as well... this is the first time i have tried a bliss 86x tho i have used them on occasion on a phone. I have an acer z1 all in one and so far i have only gotten oreo to install but could not get oreo to run playstore... With the pie versions I get stuck in a grub loop saying something about second section or something of that sort... I have no problems with the actually x86 version of oreo however it did like to freeze once in a while causing me to have to reboot now and again... the graphics driver is intel onboard hd i belive 4k not quite sure as i deal with quite a few devices daily... maybe you could recommend a better version of your build i was being kind of selective according to how many downloads each build had recieved. Anyhow hope i dont come across like a douche I appreciate your work at this and am only hoping to test to see if your build is as good or better than any i have put on my system... thank you....

(edit addon)

Sorry i did some digging and looking trying to sort it out came up with a work around but figured out i had to install windows back on just to update bios so that i could turn off secure boot... havent finished reinstalling it yet cause i am having a bit of difficulty getting my hard drive sorted so that i can get a good install... sigh

Okay finally installed and it is booting up os looks brilliant thank you!
[BLISS ROMS Development] XRed_CubeX:
Hi, I would like to do trial boot with windows, linux mint and bliss os pie, currently I'm in dualboot windows and linux mint, I would like to understand how to put the voice "bliss os" on the grub.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
What build/kernel did you finally get working?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
There are a few details for setting things up side by side in the Instructions post (2nd post) of this thread, and also in the old Oreo Bliss-x86 thread. I mostly only use KVM to run my builds on my linux PC after building them. So I personally haven't messed with a linux grub setup. Another source of help might be the Android-x86 Google Group.
[BLISS ROMS Development] XRed_CubeX:
I chose not to install the bootloader but the BlissOS option on GRUB linux mint does not appear
[BLISS ROMS Development] bfmetcalf:
You'll have to add it manually.
[BLISS ROMS Development] XRed_CubeX:
How?
[BLISS ROMS Development] ibub:
I had the same question, so I searched and found this:

http://www.linuxandubuntu.com/home/...u-14-10-15-04-linux-mint-or-other-derivatives

Yeah there's better information here:

https://www.howtogeek.com/196655/how-to-configure-the-grub2-boot-loaders-settings/

So:

sudo update-grub

May cause linux to probe for blissos and automatically upgrade grub config. I'm Gonna try that as soon as I can find which build will boot on my dell vostro 1500. 4.9 kernel doesn't work, but Ubuntu 18.04 works with 4.15 kernel, so I'm gonna try that.
[BLISS ROMS Development] jjm06:
My Intel E6550 support 64 Bit but can't Boot this Bliss OS 11.5 ?? Any Ideas?
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
Make sure your grub boot menu and entry includes:

android.boot=android_x86_64

There are various reasons you could be facing issues successfully booting.

Please read the Troubleshooting section of "The Instructions" in the 2nd post if the above recommendation does not work
[BLISS ROMS Development] kalonjee:
is anyone able to download anything in bliss 11.4 and above?
[BLISS ROMS Development] KaizokuX:
Bliss does not start on my pc: Amd athlon 64 x2 dual core 3g ram nvidia 7300gt
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
AMD = finicky about booting Bliss, mixed results for different chipsets. Please read the 2nd post "The Instructions" where it describes kernel versions and which are supposed to have improved support for AMD. Then select an .iso that has that kernel version numbering in the filename

That is also a pretty old CPU. Old enough that recent improvements for AMD from the mainline Linux kernel don't even support it anymore. Should start with a 4.9 kernel and then move on to 4.18/4.19 after that.

Your device does not have an IPTS display. So DO NOT use a build with "IPTS" in it's file name.

Nvidia 7300gt is also an old GPU. Likely not receiving support from mainline Linux kernel anymore

....these things I mentioned up above are just quick replies to your comment. Thank you for reporting that it no worky. Now take the reasons I've listed and determine if reading "the instructions"(2nd post) would be beneficial to you or not.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
The last time those ran well was on Kernel 4.4
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
This could mean one of two things, for starters it could mean that your data image is not accessible correctly or the data partition is not accessible. The other thing could be that you installed it and formatted as ext4. Currently we are having issues with that partition type and recommend installing on your Windows NTFS drive, without formatting
[BLISS ROMS Development] jakarlight:
is the free fire key mapping exist on bliss os and if it exist it is like there is aim control by mouse ?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
So far, this is the best free solution I have found. http://www.phoenixos.com/en_US/octopus/intro

If anyone knows of an Open Sourced keymapping solution, please feel free to share in here.
[BLISS ROMS Development] cdhm:
I do have a Surface Pro 4. When I see the "Specific Surface model instructions" you state that one should input a few code lines into a "terminal". What is a "terminal" and how can I open it? And: does this work when I just boot from my USB stick for testing?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Google will answer what a terminal is with less sarcasm than I can. And no, it will need to be installed with write access in order to replace the firmware

I've downloaded the latest version and I can't make it boot on VMware Player 15.

The same thing happens if I boot as a LiveCD or if I install it - it just gets to console and it stays there.

I can type in the commands but I don't know what to do with it.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Latest version is what again? Did you read the third posts description of what kernels are best for what devices, or did you just grab the latest and then come in here saying it no workie? The second post also has a small section on using an emulator to run this, but VMware never had much success, only virtual box
[BLISS ROMS Development] djuka007:
I've read the post, and then I've read what you wrote about the latest build:

"Uploading a new build with a ton of performance improvements and permissions fixes. Using Kernel-5.0rc5 in this build. Please check the link for the rundown of changes there: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...0-rc5-Released

On top of that, we've dialed things down within the OS quite a bit, and I went through a good bug squashing spree this past week. Check the list for details."

So I just assumed I might start there. I'll just start going down the kernel list to see which one can boot on VMware player (if any). Not sure why that would be such a big problem, I've run both Android x86 nougat/oreo and the latest Phoenix OS on it.

Update: tested another build that should work based on my previews experience with Android x86 -

Bliss-v11.4-Stable--OFFICIAL-20181223-2005_x86_64_k-kernel-4.19_m-18.3.1_pie-x86_f-dev-kernel.org.iso

but the same thing happens. LiveCD goes straight to "console/:" and hard drive install won't boot at all.

What surprises me the most is that in both builds I've tried, after a hard drive install and a reboot, OS can't be found.

System tries a network boot, finds nothing and then stops. And that's it.

The only way I was able to boot is by adding "nomodeset xforcevesa" to the grub LiveCD line.

This one is super slow (since it's lacking hardware acceleration) and it also has a cursor blinking trough the wallpaper all the time, for some reason.

I'll try testing 4.9 and if that one doesn't work I don't know if I should continue trying.
[BLISS ROMS Development] ibub:
Okay, I've attempted live cd of several builds with different kernels (4.9,4.15,5.0,...) and I can't seem to get past init. Keeps complaining about surfaceflinger and cameramanager and inability to bind sockets due to nonexistent files and directories (vsync and a couple other display related). Tried various modes from grub (live,live with debug, Veda, Vulcan) . Added AUTO_LOAD=old and debug=2. Dell vostro 1500, Intel centrino, resolution =1200x800, no touch screen and no camera. Never got to the boot animation, and in debug it keeps scrolling through all the same complaints. Can I install internal storage (/sdcard) to root of the live cd and:

cat [/proc/last_kmsg]>[/sdcard/last_kmsg]

I had considered building my own Taylor made for my laptop, but I don't really find a device tree like you would for a phone or tablet. Any hint?

Bliss OS Updates - 2019-02-23

Uploading a few new builds, the differences between them mainly being only the kernel. These builds have a ton of updates and fixes in them. We also went and ran off a build for the Lenovo X1 tab using da-cali's work from GitHub. This device seems to also have an IPTS screen, close enough to the Surface for me to figure things out on it.

We also took some time to update things for microG too. We switched to NanoDroid sources instead of using Lineage4microG project for microG on Bliss. As for all the other changes, here are most of them:

Added more permissions fixes

Kernel Updates

Fixes for some exfat/ext4 issues

Some upstream updates from Android-x86 project

Some upstream updates from Celadon project too

and much much more, check the changelogs.

Again, Surface instructions for the IPTS builds are located in the second post, kernel common sense can be found in the third post.

Please read and understand what you're doing before diving right in. Changelog below.

Known new issues:

- AOSP Gesture navbar crashes often. Use Smart Bar for now from Blissify's Navbar settings. Taskbar app also affecting navbar crashes.

- Notification actions sometimes cause a crash

- Sleep states aren't working right on many machines. Some can cause SystemUI to restart

- Power buttons aren't working correct on many machines.

Changelog:

Changelog too large for posting here. Links:

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

Thanks, and have a Blissfull time!!
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Since all our changes are geared towards modularizing the Linux kernel and making it work with Androids binders and hardware interfaces, the best you could do is find a Linux kernel that works for your device out-of-the-box, without the use of scripts in linux.

I haven't had anyone tell me they are using an Intel Centrino CPU yet either, so there might be a reason for that. Our old Kernel-4.4 branches may have success, so that may be worth a try.
[BLISS ROMS Development] ibub:
So I was reading on github about the android kernel needing modules that the Linux kernel doesn't have. But the link for further information "does not exist on this server ". Though I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to compare kernels and unpack-add-repack. I've done it before using some boot image tools. And I'm running Ubuntu, so accessing the kernel is easy enough. Thanks, I'm gonna give it a go.
[BLISS ROMS Development] djuka007:
OK, I've tried Bliss-v11.4-Stable--OFFICIAL-20190112-1159_x86_64_k-kernel-4.9_m-18.3.1_pie-x86_f-dev-kernel.org.iso as well.

It's a no go. Everything is the same as with previous builds.

I guess I'll have to wait until Android x86 updates to Pie.
[BLISS ROMS Development] JoseeP001:
Hi electrikjesus, do you remember me?, I have solved my wi-fi problems, using a usb wi-fi adapter...

Now, i'm trying to install Gltools, this is an android app, that requires root access for working, and also it should has to modify some files in system folder and if it is not allowed in this os, this app won't work, so i want to know if is bliss os rooted (also allow system files modification) and if it has any key mapping app for playing games with keyboard and mouse or can i get one of these apps?
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
Read-Write(R/W) access to the /system is achieved by unpacking the system.img from the system.sfs. there are instructions in "the instructions" describing this process. Read the OP and 2nd+3rd posts.

There was also a link provided for Octopus a few posts before yours. Reading = ?

We do not currently compile with a keymapping solution built in.

We are leaving it up to the user to find and use a keymapper of their choice. You can easily find options available to you by searching the web for "Android key mapping app". Install/sideload whichever you want. Perhaps ask in a PUBG community which works well?

We'll only include a key mapping option in future builds if we can find an open source project for it. Anyone can feel free to let us know of a potential option
[BLISS ROMS Development] aleessio:
Hello, I'm trying to install the latest version on my Surface Pro 3. When I go to the IPTS download page (https://sourceforge.net/projects/blissos-x86/files/Official/bleeding_edge/Surface IPTS builds - Pie/), I see there are multiple ISOs released the same day. What are the differences among them?
[BLISS ROMS Development] bfmetcalf:
Looks like the kernel my the file names. Also, the top one doesn't have IPTS in the file name, so it may not be for IPTS displays.
[BLISS ROMS Development] aleessio:
Yeah, I understood it's a matter of Kernels. I would like to know what are the differences among them and in particular if there is a suggested choice for my device (Surface Pro 3). The guide in the third post of this thread does not explain what cali_m, ipts_m and ipts2_m mean in practice.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Surface Pro 3 doesn't have an IPTS touchscreen. So it should work fine with the generic 4.9 & 4.18/19 kernels

All the other info you need can be found in the Second & Third posts of this thread, so I don't have to keep repeating myself

Also be sure to check the update posts, those will cover any of the other info
[BLISS ROMS Development] aleessio:
I will install the generic ones then. Thank you for the great job!
[BLISS ROMS Development] JoseeP001:
Hi guys, I would like to know why Bliss os has not access for the other disk partitions?, and why play store is not avaible?. The only problem i has now is when i enter on firefox to download some apks of android apps, it said "starting download" and when i click in downloads it says "failed" i don't know why happens this with bliss os, I never have got problems with other OS, but i like bliss os, i would like to use it, i can surf on web using the default firefox pre-installed on bliss os, but it doesn't download any file. And i can not get those from the windows partition because bliss os doesn't allow to explore this.
[BLISS ROMS Development] aleessio:
I came back home and tried the generic kernels versions. The touchscreen works only with the stylus, not with the fingers. With the IPTS versions, both works fine. Is this normal? Would it get fixed if I actually install it and install the firmware too as described in the second post? Is there any drawback if I install the IPTS version on a surface pro 3? Thank you!

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

It happens to me too. On Yalp I solved by setting it to download in local storage instead of SD. I guess in Firefox that should be similar.
[BLISS ROMS Development] CR5N:
I really want to follow this thread but alas so many lazy folk ask questions before trying anything. Community development is not everyone else asking a select few "how do I wipe my own arse". The question should be "I tried this and got a result is it useful?".
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
Your devic does not have an IPTS display

Therefore, you should not be flashing the IPTS specific builds.

As described, and as you indicated you are aware.... Touch functionality for Surface devices will be achieved by manually inserting the proper firmware files for your specific device. Info and instructions are in the 2nd & 3rd posts.

So:

Install one of the latest NON IPTS builds

Make sure to enable r/w during installation

After full boot, inject your firmware files.

Upon reboot, should have touch functionality

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

Yessss!!!! Very well stated ?

As a reminder, just about any and all information you could be in search of is in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd posts of this thread.

A lot of time goes into making sure relevant information is available and easily accessible for current users as well as those giving Bliss OS a try for the first time.

Laziness is not welcome here.

We are seeing 40k+ downloads a month of Bliss OS

As a team, we're always here to give a hand up. Not hand outs.

READ THE OP peeps!
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
I do include some of the SP3 commits with the IPTS kernels, so it should still boot and run. There aren't any real drawbacks. But I thought they were also included upstream for that device too now.
[BLISS ROMS Development] jjm06:
WHERE ?
[BLISS ROMS Development] Mohamed Anwar:
Updates

Hello World,Hello Bliss Team.

Is there any official STABLE Version of Bliss OS Pie?

Because you haven't update Your Bliss OS Pie for More than 3 Weeks.

So,Is there any news?
[BLISS ROMS Development] liskam:
Hi

After reading your threads,it seems that the surface's battery driver has already been written but it is for linux so there is still a work needed on how to port them to android right?

Everythings works perfectly on the latest version on my surface pro 2017

Hope you could make the battery indicator works.

Bliss is absolutely no.1 android x86
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Oh crap! You must have missed all those releases I made on the 23rd...

Thanks for checking out all the update posts in the process.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Battery reads perfect on my Surface book, so it's still back to the driver's used for your specific model.
[BLISS ROMS Development] Mohamed Anwar:
Thanks Man

Hey Electrikjesus,I Haven't seen it for a long time and sorry for that.

I Know that Iam being an issue for you,But If you are not the one that i have to ask who will i have to ask?

I know that you work hard to release a Good OS For PCs Beside Windows OS And Linux.

I really appreciate what you are doing in order to provide a good operating system, is there any way to support you like I support you with the CPU or GPU instead of supporting you money because I do not have much money.

Thank you Bliss OS Team.
[BLISS ROMS Development] Eagle0110:
Do you also have power and volume buttons working on your Surface Pro 2017?

And yes, it seems like the battery indicator is made to work simply with kernal patches that modify the driver in JakeDay's custom kernel. Not sure if there's any particular reason this could not be done to Bliss ROM.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
I apply his patches directly on top the Linux mainline before adding the Android-x86 commits. and there are usually never any conflicts from either source when doing it that way. I wonder what I'm missing then?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
You are not becoming an issue. no need to worry. Bliss does accept hardware donations too. Most people reach out to us using the email form from our website. Let me know if that gives you any troubles
[BLISS ROMS Development] Eagle0110:
And then the battery indicator, power button and volume button still don't work? Wow that is really weird...

Hmmm... The JakeDay kernel seems to be primarily supporting Ubuntu, so perhaps in a typical Ubuntu kernel there are other kernel modules not included in the mainline Android x86 kernel by default? This might be something worth looking into.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Not a bad thought...
[BLISS ROMS Development] Eagle0110:
Have you tried to communicate with JakeDay, and to ask him about how he got them working? He seems to be responding quite often.

Hopefully it is just some kernel modules missing, that would be much easier to fix! :rolleyes:
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
I can reach out to him on it
