Bliss OS 11.12/13 x86_64 Generic - Kernel 4.19.122/5.8 - Mesa-19.3.5/20.1.0 - Release Date 2020-11-14

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

OK Folks, this is a rather larger update or two, rolled into one post. Since we've had a productive month here on Bliss, I thought I would roll out a few of the builds we have and detail some of the updates for you.

First thing that needs to be said about this update, is that both of these builds include ARM64 houdini from Chrome OS 86. With that, most ARM64 apps do work, while many armeabi-v7a apps work, but many also have problems. I still see it as a step forward, so it's worthy of a release.

With the included Gearlock, we can now also swap out our kernel & mesa libraries, on the fly, while Bliss is still running. So I have prepared a number of Gearlock extensions to help aide you all in finding that perfect combination for your device. You can find those at the link below. Just be aware that with Mesa, you can only use the Android 9 versions with Bliss OS 11.x (Android 9)

With this version of Gearlock comes a few more treats for us also, like the inclusion of common alsa-audio presets that will fix many of the audio issues users face. And also the ability to install the latest version of Magisk is confirmed working in our Pie builds as well.

And one last thing to mention about Gearlock, is that it's developer, Axon, has now also joined Team Bliss in our adventure in making all things Android-x86, a bit more Blissful ;)

These builds also both now include Boringdroid Settings, where you can enable/disable PC Mode (where all apps are freeform windows), and the Boringdroid Navigation plugins (still not working right, so please don't report it). Thanks to another team member, [MENTION=8539180]utzcoz[/MENTION] for all the work on this.

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 Details:

Bliss-v11.12--OFFICIAL-20201107-2035_x86_64_k-k4.19.122-ax86-ga-rmi_m-p9.0-x86_dgc-t3_foss_intelhd.iso

This build includes mesa-20.1.0, and comes with our FOSS apps suite (some issues still with it. Let me know if you find any fixes)

Bliss-v11.13--OFFICIAL-20201113-1525_x86_64_k-k4.19.122-ax86-ga-rmi_m-20.1.0-llvm90_dgc-t3_gms_intelhd.iso

This one is a bigger update, with updates to libdrm, drm_hwcomposer, and a few other things that gave it just enough to bump up to 11.13.

Native Bridge:

Is pre-enabled in these builds. And finally with ARM64 support, so you can all 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!!
