Bliss OS 11.10 x86_64 Generic - kernel-4.9.214 - With Vulkan - Build Date 2020/03/13-14

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

Still super busy with Bliss OS 12 bringup, but haven't forgotten about you all yet. So here is a small update using Kernel 4.9 to help things out. Please don't expect any more updates for a while (if ever) since my time has been focused on Android 10. I also made a little time to work on a special Pi-Day release including backported minimize and pip buttons for freeform windows from our Android 10 releases ;)

Release Notes:

- Sleep states are mostly working using Vulkan & gralloc_gbm (forces switching from default of drm_gralloc to gbm_gralloc when using VULKAN=1 from grub). Need to use a third party tool for now to trigger sleep states if it's not showing up for you in the power menu (I found one called EasyOff). CPU will still be active during mock sleep states, but activity will drop to almost nothing.

- Updates to kernel-4.9 should help many people who were having issues with the kernel-4.19 builds.

Notes on sleep states:

- Throughout testing, if sleep states weren't working right, I was able to get them working by switching between old-modprobe mode and normal boot mode while using the VULKAN=1 grub command was able to get things to trigger right most of the time.

To run in Vulkan mode:

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

Known new issues:

Some navbar issues still persist when using Taskbar. Please set a fallback Gesture method in the Blissify app first, then switch navbar to SmartBar, then disable it and enable Taskbar. This can also be switched later using Quick Tiles from the statusbar. **Update Taskbar through Play Store to fix for now.

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.

SuperSU may report that it needs an update. Do NOT update it. Just ignore. This will lock up system boot afterwards.

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