Please have a look at the bottom portion of Post #2 in "The Instructions" with newly updated info regarding specifics for Surface line devices.

You need to manually replace your firmware files in order to achieve touch functionality.

[MENTION=928479]electrikjesus[/MENTION] has taken the time to give this and many other questions all the answers needed.

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

Can't help you further without knowing the physical addresses of your drives and installation directory

.....please don't reply by providing a bunch of stuff that's not going to be helpful.

Plain and simple, you need to point grub(via the boot menu entry) to where you decided to install too. That is how grub will know where to look for needed files/partitions for the boot process to begin.

There are several examples of boot menu entries in the 2nd post "The Instructions" and we cannot assist you further based on your custom install location. You will need to take what you've done and combine that with the examples provided to create a boot menu option specific to your machine and install.

If you won't be able to do this on your own, Bliss may not be the right option for you at this time

Is there a certain version to download for Surface Pro 3?

I can't seem to get it to boot from USB or the windows installer, I get error "i8042: Can't read CTR while initializing i8042"

"Detecting Android-x86..... found at /dev/sdb1"

Frozen there forever.

I used the 1_30_19 ipts version, is this one correct for me? I know I have to update the files for touch, etc.

i5-4300u

8gb

256gb Samsung
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
Your device does not have an IPTS display

Therefore you should not be installing an IPTS build

There is a "Surface Devices" specific section in "The Instructions", 2nd post. Towards the bottom.

Please read it

?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Surface Pro 3 drivers and firmware are included in the generic kernel

I guess I could update that portion of the instructions to state that surface Pro 3 is not an ipts device

Hi. Bliss 11.4 with kernel 4.9 works perfectly with my device (cube mix plus - core M3-7y30).. hoping for newer release with 4.9 kernel... Thank you

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

It is kernel problem, you should try older kernel, try 4.9

Thanks Bliss Team.

Hello World,Hello Bliss Team.

Thanks for The Last Update.

But,There isn't Octopus in The Android Pie,Why?

And there isn't Google Apps,Why?

So,Can you answer me?
[BLISS ROMS Development] bfmetcalf:
It's been answered a few times already in this thread, but why not. Octopus needs to be loaded separately as building it in caused issues. Gapps are force closing the UI constantly for some reason and needs a lot of work to get them working as of now...
[BLISS ROMS Development] Zit0:
might test it this weekend

anyway

I have a few questions, maybe it has been already answered but i couldnt find it on search:

1- Will this SO let me run pubgMobile as smoothly as i do on other similar SO with mouse and keyboard?

2- Will it let me use USB Headset with both speakers and microphone working?
[BLISS ROMS Development] striplex:
After the last update the battery percentage Is always on 0%. In previous version this problem was not present (HP x2 10-p020nl). Can i update the OS without reinstall it?
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
You can certainly test yourself(both of these)

Some have had great success with gaming and PUBG, others have reported issues. It differs between HW configurations being different in people's machines.

Anytime we just say "yes, works ?" then we have people with dedicated graphics or ancient laptop or some Chinese unbranded tablet or some other type of obscure installation in place, and they complain that things need troubleshooting.

We have no idea what device you own, we have no ability to test things on that hardware. Therefore, we rely on users to be bold and try Bliss themselves and report back where they run into issues. Often we only hear from a user when something DOESNT work. We've tried constantly to get users to be of the mindset to share when things DO work. Is a WIP

USB headset is another experiment you must do yourself. Many variables involved there that may/may not produce a desirable result. I've never heard of any of our team members or any users using a USB headset with Bliss. So you have an opportunity to test and report results. Can be considered a contribution ??

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

We are trying to break the habit of people not being more specific about which builds they are installing when reporting issues. "Last update" means nothing. Please provide the exact .iso filename when commenting/inquiring about a BlissOS.iso

Depending on how you installed....

You can extract the contents of the .iso and then copy&paste(replace) the contents to your install directory:

kernel

initrd

ramdisk

system.sfs(extract system.img from .sfs and delete .sfs if you want root access).

It is generally wise to use a freshly formatted data.img but can get by without doing that. As long as you are staying within the same Android version(data.img from Oreo build will not carry over to Our build. Must clean install between Android versions)

If you have a very buddy outcome though, suggest trying with fresh data.img to rule out that causing issues

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

I need wifi pleeaseee! :)

[/QUOTE]

I have tried all BlissOs versions and all Kernel versions but I always get the same results.

So, maybe you aren't the oficcial BlissOs developers but what can you do if I give you the name of my wifi adapter card?, It is "Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Adapter", Can BlissOs developers help me or do something with this?, On all kernels my ram, my processor, my graphics, my keybord, my mouse and all except my wifi work. I only need the wifi solution please, I love BlissOs.

Also can you recomend me any usb wifi adapter that you know will work surelly on BlissOs please?.

Thanks.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Since your WiFi adapter is not included in the upstream Linux kernel, we would be relying on external kernel modules to be added. I'll see if I can track down a real Bliss OS developer if you want to enlighten us as to where we can get the correct kernel modules
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
This is a development thread, not an English class... If that is the only complaint you have, please keep it to yourself
[BLISS ROMS Development] Zit0:
Ok, managed to install, new version is too unstable, downloading a stable version.

First impressions : I see efford in creating a desktop like environment but i think it lacks the dash square and X icons on the top of the windows ( really useful if you use a mouse). Might be my bad but i searched on the settings and couldnt find a way to enable those ( if there is a way to do it).

will post further feedback
[BLISS ROMS Development] JoseeP001:
It's means that maybe there is some kernel version that is compatible with my wifi hardware?, What i have to do is looking for this kernel and if i find it, I should say you what version is?...
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Yes, but you're gonna want to tell the actual BlissOS developers that info
[BLISS ROMS Development] Zit0:
After instaling a previous version (and testing almost all kernel) i find the SO unstable on my device

After running it for a while the system crashes back to the "desktop" and closes all apps.

[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
Are you purposely trying to be rude to our team's lead developer for the BlissOS project?

You can't be. That would not be wise.

You aren't. I'm almost sure.

It's just that your comment is so unnecessary and pointless... It causes one to question your motives.

Please feel free to NOT comment anymore unless it is clear that you have a question or something to contribute. Rather than just randomly replying to something with a useless sentence.

It would be a shame for Team Bliss to get bothered by ungrateful users and step away from publicly sharing all of our hard work. Maybe pause a moment before you post again(better yet, don't reply to me. Please)
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Like Evan stated, not all hardware is fully supported. You may want to try helping us help you by providing some basic system info for us to find a solution together. This is a development thread after all...
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:

Is there currently a list of WiFi adapters compatible with BlissOs?

I mean all types of adapters, both pci and usb.
[BLISS ROMS Development] mahesh_gupta:
not able to install using UEFI installer. I tried using USB too but it stucked at boot logo.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
I think we do add the RTL8723BS, but not sure I've seen anything for the DS yet. Will keep my eyes peeled.
[BLISS ROMS Development] djmark:
Thank's :)
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
So installation worked, but won't boot?

Or installation failed?

Your comment suggests one, but states another

That's unfortunate ☹️

Indeed

Perhaps if you shared info regarding your device make/model, HW in place(CPU,GPU,anything useful), which .iso you attempted(EXACT .iso file name!), Which installation method, etc.... Might might trying to help you possible.

Instead, your comment translates to "it no worky" and will unfortunately be ignored beyond this reply
[BLISS ROMS Development] Kyouten:
Having a hard time getting this to work properly on my Surface Book. I tried formatting a USB stick with rufus and booting from the bios, but I couldn't get my surface book to boot that usb at all. I can get Android to install using the uefi windows installer, can reboot using shift-> restart, and can successfully get into grub. For some time I could use the hardware keyboard to navigate grub, at some point the hw keyboard stopped working entirely within grub and now I must use the on-screen keyboard. Anyways, after adding 'androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64' to the grub entry and booting, I can successfully boot bliss os. The mouse usually works, but touch does not work at all. I saw on another Bliss OS thread that the surface book touch may be supported out of the box, unfortunately this is not true for me. I have attempted to write the firmware files to system/lib/framework/intel/ipts but I can only mount /system as ro. Can't chmod or remount as rw. Another suggestion said to delete system.sfs immediately after installation and before reboot.. this was counter productive to say the least.

Using Bliss-v11.5-PC_RC1--OFFICIAL-20190204-1853_x86_64_k-kernel-5.0rc5_m-18.3.2_pie-x86_f-dev-kernel.org along with the UEFI Windows Installer.

Edit: Most of the above was resolved by switching to v11.4 stable, seems that 11.5 rc1 is not yet ready for surface devices. At this point, I'm having an issue where my screen goes black for a minute, and WiFi stops working, or touch, or both. Besides this and some instability everything else seems to work.
[BLISS ROMS Development] mahesh_gupta:
i tried two methods. first i tried installing using UEFI installer but it failed. then i tried running it live using usb now it stucks at boot logo.
[BLISS ROMS Development] KaminoReal:
Would be great if Android-PC source actually can be build, current is broken(was building fine at some point in time...).

Guess no extra dev's needed to provide patches.
[BLISS ROMS Development] yash539:
Hello I need someone to help me regrading the installation process.

I transferred the iso file using rufus to the usb drive and then booted into it. I have 1 ssd (windows C drive) and 2 hdd for storage one of which is divided into 2 partition

I want to use the partition with 100gb free to install this os but it do not show up while installation, it showed me the entire hdd and asked to me format the whole thing

I did read things the instructions certain went over my head obviously i dont want to lose the data so i thought better ask u guys
[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
And still.... You provide no information about the machine you are attempting to install to.

I looked at a log you posted, and see that you have an AMD a-6 CPU device.

AMD devices vary in how nice they play with Bliss. Is a WIP.

You should be trying to install builds with specific kernel that increases AMD CPU and GPU devices.

Please read the descriptions of the kernel versions to find a build that best suits your needs

Refer to "the instructions" in the second post

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

You extract system.img from system.sfs

Leave the .img there in the installation directory.

Delete the .sfs

Now with just the system.img you achieve read/write access

Also.... If you had used a build with "ipts" in it's file name... Than it would have been built to run on a surface book out of the box.
[BLISS ROMS Development] Kyouten:
It's now painfully obvious what the other user meant about deleting system.sfs. Please ignore my stupidity.

Regarding the ipts specific build, it was much easier for me to revert to the 11.4 ipts build, though I only got touch to work on the first boot of android. On every subsequent boot the touch screen does not work, but interestingly the surface pen does.

[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
You should really try one of the IPTS builds mentioned in the Second posts "Surface" section...
[BLISS ROMS Development] Kyouten:
Yes I agree with you, which is why I am running 'Bliss-v11.4-Stable--OFFICIAL-20190129-1837_x86_64_k-k4.19.18-ax86-ipts_m-18.3.1_pie-x86_f-dev-kernel.org.iso'.

It is on this build where the touch only worked for first boot, I get a black screen which comes back, but WiFi is turned off, etc. Unless there is another ipts build mentioned in the post then I do believe I am running what is intended to work with my Surface Book.

Do you have any suggestions for this?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
The 4.19.18 kernel was somewhat stable on my Surface Book 1. The 4.9-ipts kernel was far more stable for my testing. That is what I have for my daily-driver installation
[BLISS ROMS Development] Kyouten:
Thank you! I figured 4.19 may have been the best one but it runs much more smoothly on 4.9 . I still seem to get black screen/ systemui crashes / wifi turning off until reboot quite a lot. Past these issues everything else seems to be working well.

Thanks for your help once again.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
if you read through some of the update posts I've been making over the last couple months you will find that most of those black screen issues are all related to notification action crashes. So those are known issues. Just avoid using those notification actions, and you avoid most of the crashes for now
[BLISS ROMS Development] Kyouten:
I was just about to mention that I usually get crashes related to clicking on notifications. It seems that you're already well aware of it! Thank you so much for your help. I'll be keeping an eye on the project, if you need another surface book to test on just let me know.

i have installed bliss os and now it is stuck on console.What to write there?
[BLISS ROMS Development] Mohamed Anwar:
Help me.

Hello World,Hello Bliss OS Team.

Installed the Bliss OS On my NTFS ON Bios.

It Succeded.

But the problem is,I Can't download anything because it say it's only read-able and not writeable.

I Installed it on NTFS To Make 64GB Because i will use it forever.

So,Please Reply ASAP.

Thanks
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
You are going to have to explain a little bit more about what you did here. What method of install did you use? Did you format as NTFS? What's it mean by "ON Bios"? Did you setup system as R/W when installing?

Let's start with those please ;)

Same for you, but I'd like a little more info. Thanks!!

Doesn't anyone read the second posts Troubleshooting sections?
[BLISS ROMS Development] Mohamed Anwar:
I Formatted as NTFS.

It's mean that bliss os installed on a legacy PC

Yes,I Setup it as Read/Write.

Thanks Bliss Team,You are the best.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Try to have that NTFS partition setup as a windows partition first, then use the USB installer to install to that partition without formatting. See if that has a different result
[BLISS ROMS Development] Mohamed Anwar:
I Have Formatted as NTFS And as Primary.

Well,This maybe solve the problem.

Found out the problem,The problem is!!!

There is no data.

It's write/read

But there is no data,Why it will download there.

So,Why there is no data in the Fake SD Card??

There isn't any file in the Emulated Directory.

So,It say that i can't download anything from the internet only from Yalp Store.

Can you help me?

Bliss OS reboot on every option (Also on Phoenix OS)

Hello,

I wanted to reply cause I really tried lot of things but nothing works. I can think the problem but I'm really annoyed cause this, and I keep trying cause I really want to get some kind of things. I'm trying to install Bliss OS, and previously, I tried with phoenix, and other kind of OS, and the problem is the same as in the title. Every option on the menu refered to the OS, shows a black screen and then reboots, making a loop. I say that I think I know the problem cause I'm using an AMD CPU, and I don't tell about the GPU, a radeon vega 8, cause usually it's fixed or using the 4.19 kernel or I don't know which one, or using nomodeset. I know that the most part of OS are fully compatible with Intel, but I can't do anything to change it, but I keep want to try what I can do. My hardware specifications are this ones, at least, the most importants:

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2500U

- GPU: AMD Radeon Vega 8 (Integrated)

- RAM: 8 GB

- Wifi driver (I put this one cause lot of Android OS don't have drivers for it, and also I didn't tested the kernel v5, but if someone can tell me if there's a way to solve that in Android OS would be great): rtl8821ce

For more specifications, my laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad 330-15ARR. I not wanting to make competence saying that, only is that it's a clue or I don't know, but I prefer your Desktop. I tried using Android x86, but I had the wifi issue, but it let me install on my laptop. I used Phoenix OS, that one gave me the same problem. My objective is to create a mutiboot with 5 OS, 2 that are giving me problems, an Android OS, Windows, and Manjaro. I used Windows to make the Phoenix install too, in a certain partition, but the problem is the same as if I was trying to install it, black screen and then reboot. Then I triedd using Prime OS, this one worked, for me, it let me install like Android x86, but the problem is that I couldn't install the Wifi drivers, like I never used Android as a Linux based OS, in the most complex way so, I couldn't do that. And then we have Bliss OS, that gave me the same issue. I just would like to know what's what makes different everyone of this OS, cause you're all based on Android x86, at least the most part, and Bliss can use the 5.0 kernel, and I think Prime OS was still on 4.19. But why it gets stuck on a black screen? I really want to know, cause My objetive to have that multiboot is getting harder everytime I see that issues.
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
Have you tried booting with adding "VULKAN=1" to grub? Or selecting the newer Vulkan boot option from the advanced boot menu in Grub?
[BLISS ROMS Development] electrikjesus:
You can either use a tool like this to create it (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824154) or you can use dd.exe to create it manually. You'll have to google that one though.
[BLISS ROMS Development] relampagorojo93:
I used the new options and also the advanced ones. If the VULKAN option had 1, then it didn't work too, any of the options. The only ones that works are the ones that use other grubs, but everything I execute related with Bliss doesn't work, leaving me a black screen after selecting it, and after a few seconds, it gets restart.

Edit:

I tried using a similar format as the Prime OS entry, but it keeps without working, doing the same, but I did something. I removed the linux command and I let if run, and it gave me an error, as expected, but with the linux command, it gets black and after that, reboots, I think it has something to do with the kernel, so, there's some incompatibility with amd ryzen?
