Hi All

I Hope this question has not been asked because i have search everywhere, but cant find info :)

so im trying to install Bliss OS 16 on a oldish HP Probook Laptop Single boot, ( i have tried the live version from the USB and it works well) but i want to install it on the SSD

im using UEFI ( as stated in my bios UEFI with CMS) ( Not sure what the CMS stuff means but yea ) rather to much info then to little right?

when i boot from the USB, and following Guide there are some steps not on the guide, for instance first message after clicking on installation, - "UEFI System detected please selecte a partition as EFI System Partition (ESP)"

i went into Create/Modify Partition and made a EFI Partition with 512MB, and a Linux File system Partition with the rest of the data (110GB)

when i then go back to where i need to make the selection and select the EFI Partition i am presented with 2 options, format to fat32 ( careful) or do not re-format - ( i have tried both in my troubleshooting)

Then it asks me if i am sure that i want to select sda1 ( the EFI Partition) as ESP) i then select yes,

then it returns me to the selection - Please select a partition to install BlissOS-16.9.4, i then select the partition where i made it 110GB, and it asks me to format or not ( tried ext4, and ntfs) however for the sake of this message i select ext4.

once its formatted. it asks me if i want the installer to prepare for OTA Update? ( i select yes)

Then - since you are using UEFI, we offer two boot options for the OS: Grub2 EFI Bootloader, or rEFInd Boot Manager) i select Grub2 EFI Bootloader) ( i have tried both in my troubleshooting)

Then once the install is done i reboot, and im back to square one "BOOTDEVICE NOT FOUND"

Please help me.... ( been stuck here trying different versions etc, for 6 hours and cant seem to figure it out... )

Hello

I have installed Manjaro with linux-surface kernel 6.6 and Bliss OS 15.9 which has kernel 6.1 on my Surface Pro 7. Both installation running fine.

The touch experience on Manjaro with linux 6.6 is way better than on Bliss OS (also, I tried the calibration function described in Bliss docs).

I figured out that the package iptsd is responsible for the touch driver and this has changed. Does anybody know how to update the package iptsd in Android? Is that possible or do I have to wait for the next release of Bliss OS 15? I also would try Zenith but as far as I understand it does not have a surface-linux version.
[Android Software Development] thzzy:
After installing the latest version of "Bliss OS", I can drive my computer's ESSX8336 sound card, but the volume is too low. I need to execute the "alsamixer" command in "Termux" to make the following adjustments:

Headline: Use the directional keys to adjust the volume to maximum (usually the default is already the maximum volume)

Headphone Mixer: Use the directional keys to adjust the volume to maximum

DAC: Use the directional keys to adjust the volume to maximum

Left Headphone Mixer Left DAC: Press the M key to change from MM to 00

Right Headphone Mixer Right DAC: Press the M key to change from MM to 00

Afterwards, exit and execute the "alsactl store" command to save the volume adjustment configuration without any error prompts.

What I want to ask is, after this adjustment, the current system volume is normal, but when the computer restarts and starts up, the volume decreases again, and you need to use the "alsamixer" to adjust the volume again. Additionally, if you execute the "alsactl restore" command to call the volume adjustment configuration, an error message will appear with the content "alsactl: card"_ Lock: 197: card 0 lock error: No such file or directory.

May I ask how to solve the problem of the volume decreasing after restarting?

Also, how can I add a startup and self start command in Bliss OS?

You can use a KernelSU module with service.sh for running commands on startup. https://kernelsu.org/guide/module.html . It’s just a zip file and there are templates available on the web. I think you could use the commandline version of alsamixer (alsa_amixer) to automate the process.

I have a problem about booting android and windows...

After android, I installed a windows, but then I can only boot windows, I cannot see the grub menu, it directly jumped to bootmgfw.efi.

I tried to rebuild EFI partition, didn't work.

If delete windows uefi files, then I can see grub menu again.

What settings should I do?

I'm gonna take over from Ford-Knox's post since I'm having the same issue.

I get the following text:

linker: Warning: failed to find generated linker configuration from "/linkerconfig/ld.config.txt"

WARNING: linker: Warning: failed to find generated linker configuration from "/linkerconfig/ld.config.txt"

Timeout: 2 Seconds

Boot0002 eEFInd Boot Manager (More Numbers and Letters)

Boot0003 USB Drive PCIRoot(More Numbers and Letters)

It's worth noting that I am using a Microsoft Surface Pro 3

Something to note that @Ford-Knox left out, but I'm sure he's getting too, is in regards to the OTA Update.

When you do go through with the installer, right before you get to the "choose partition" menu, and right after you get the "Have a Truly Blissful Experience" message, I get the following text:

WARNING: The system is not prepared with Virtual A/B,

so OTA Update will not be supported
[Android Software Development] HMTheBoy154:
Didn't you have BlissOS option already ? Look at that output
[Android Software Development] techdefect:
Yes, well, like @Ford-Knox, it does not come up as a boot device, even when set manually to boot from SSD. It skips right into BIOS as it would if it had nothing to boot from. Additionally, when I boot from the USB, I think there is supposed to be an option to boot to the OS from that menu, but it only gives me Live options.

Bliss OS 15.9.x (x86_64-v2) with FOSS apps & Android Go ???
[Android Software Development] RogerBytes:
Hello Bliss team,

All videos are displayed in black, do you have any plan to fix it ?

Here is some workaround ?
[Android Software Development] megvadulthangya:
I tried Bliss-v15.9-x86_64-OFFICIAL-foss-20240114.iso and Bliss-Go-v15.9-x86_64-OFFICIAL-foss-20240116.iso

None of them booting on my Intel® Desktop Board D510MO thingy...

I created a pendrive with rufus, and after i try with ventoy both the same results...

I tryed to go straight into install, and or to live mode, both of them just restarted. Any advice?

this is becouse of lack of sse4x thingy?

Hello, I install Bliss with Gapps on a Thinkpad t460, everything is working great except every boot, after the UI loads about 5 seconds in, it locks up and I get error messages...System UI isnt responding and Process system isnt responding........i click ok, and then its fine...

Any idea how to troubleshoot this?
[Android Software Development] CasualUserAccount:
So, is there a possible workaround for that? because I have that problem too. Or maybe making separate 32 bit builds?
[Android Software Development] soingamtrang:
Use Refind boot manager, it works for me
[Android Software Development] cjeu100:
There is an old 32 bit build here https://sourceforge.net/projects/blissos-x86/files/Official/Archive/bleeding_edge/Experimental - 32 bit (x86) builds - Pie/

Bliss OS developer has already stated that they won’t support 32 bit builds anymore.
[Android Software Development] CasualUserAccount:
Thanks. Well that's unfortunate I mean I'm no expert but is making separate builds harder than making universal ones? It would also increase the amount of users.

Solved, thanks so much!

Well I have a new question... I installed blissos and microsoft windows11 in two partitions of the disk and made a duo boot. Is there any way to access windows' disk flies in blissos?
[Android Software Development] Johanno:
So I don't know if there is already a FAQ for this but I couldn't find one.

How do I install BlissOs on a new device?

I have a live usb and a new disc. It works that I create a new linux partition and reformat to ext4 but then It can't boot from it. I picked yes when it asked for the grub2 install.

I was following this documentation: https://docs.blissos.org/installation/install-from-bootable-usb/

I got it working several times, but at some point when I reboot it just can't boot from the disk anymore
[Android Software Development] Johanno:
I am not sure, but maybe it shows up as a usb in the file manager? If not you may need to mount it via termux, if this is possible and then how idk.

Hi Bliss team !

Bliss OS 15.9 works perfectly on my Dell Latitude 5175 2in1 tablet, great job you did !

I'm just annoyed with the cameras that are not detected (doesn't work on Bliss OS Zenith too)

Do you have any tips for making them work ?
[Android Software Development] chicknburger:
Hey all. I'm using bliss os 15.9 on my Dell XPS 13 - 7390 2 in 1

One thing I can't get working. After I connect the mx master mouse via Bluetooth it won't work as input device, eben though it's connected and "input" is enabled.

Any suggestions? The MX mouse works on Linux, android smartphone and win10. Bliss is the exception.

Thanks in advance

[Android Software Development] starplatina:
Hi. I've installed Bliss-Surface-v15.9-x86_64-OFFICIAL-gapps-20240114 into my Surface Pro 5 LTE Advanced (2017) and I am generally quite impressed with its performance. I use ChromeOS Brunch on another SP5 I have and I think BlissOS performs better than ChromeOS.

There are a few problems, such as the camera not working, but that was expected. The big problem is that the physical buttons, i.e., the power button and volume buttons, are not recognized at all.

It is a bigger problem than you think because once Bliss goes into sleep, there is no way to bring it back. Sometimes typing something on the attached keyboard AKA Type Cover works, but not always, in which case you have to force-reboot it by long-pressing the power button.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a workaround?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Software Development] cjeu100:
Add AUTO_LOAD=old to linux line in your grub config or boot in debug mode to get buttons working, it has worked for some Surface device users. https://docs.blissos.org/knowledgebase/troubleshooting/edit-grub-from-bliss-install/

Would it be possible to install bliss os on an android tv stick?
[Android Software Development] vicky1982:
Hello, Can you please guide a bit more about editing the grub.

In docs section it says booted bliss os, how to root the bliss os? sorry for my less knowledge about the system.

My problem is only with the Wifi diconnectivity, otherwise is working good.

Thanks
[Android Software Development] cjeu100:
You can ignore the word “rooted”, Debug mode which is being used is independent of that. Boot to debug mode console from your grub boot menu that appears before you boot bliss os.
[Android Software Development] vicky1982:
thanks for you reply, i am trying but no command is working, other than blkid.

it gives error, inaccessible or not found.

And any clean Android, other than Android TV, that can be installed on an Android TV stick?
[Android Software Development] starplatina:
Thank you!!! That totally solved the issue! You are a life saver, really, because I thought this was a deal breaker!

Now I have the following two issues to troubleshoot:

The touch panel is so sensitive that one tap gets recognized as more than one. When this happens while you are typing text (on a virtual keyboard), it looks as if chattering happened.

The internal LTE modem is not recognized.

If anybody has any info on these, please enlighten me!

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] starplatina:
My Bliss OS 15 on a Surface Pro 5 performs well overall, but there are some kinks to iron out for it to be my daily driver. The biggest of all is that the touch screen is too sensitive that it recognizes it as a tap even when I am just swiping.

This makes it really hard to navigate on the device because it keeps opening up screens that I do not want, or change the value or toggle the switch even though I never intend it.

I would appreciate it very much if anybody could tell me what I can do about this.

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] cjeu100:
You can try calibrating the touchscreen as described in the documentation: https://docs.blissos.org/configuration/calibrate-and-configure-iptsd/
[Android Software Development] starplatina:
Already tried that. No dice. Thanks all the same.

I am thinking perhaps the root cause of my problem is that the threshold for recognizing a swipe as opposed to a touch is too great. That may be why my gestures meant as a swipe is recognized as a touch.

There must be a config parameter for this, I would think, but I have not been able to find it.

Similary, maybe the delay amount for repeated taps to be recognized as such is too small. That may be why what is meant as a single tap gets recognized as multiple taps.
[Android Software Development] SteveWorkshop:
Maybe the old kernel or blissos14(based on android11) can help...
[Android Software Development] starplatina:
Ugh, I did not know that. I am not mounting any NTFS volumes but thanks for letting me know.

I want stability over new features. I chose v15 becaue it was supposed to be stable. Maybe it is, generally, but on my Surface Pro, I am having some difficulty.

Do you have any experence running Bliss OS on a Surface Pro? What version of Bliss OS would you recommend?
[Android Software Development] SteveWorkshop:
Well it's my fault...😅 I was too irritable this morning...

Perhaps changing another kernel may help. According to my testing results, sometimes new kernel didn't work well but the old kernel is fine.

Recently I'm researching on file access between windows and android and I meet with some problems, but currently I cannot make sure the cause, maybe is the kernel, on maybe something else.

And if you use a old surface device, maybe android 11(blissos14) can help.🙂

My deivce is lenovo thinkpad x12 detachable Gen1, currently running blissos16 and windows11. In blissos16, my audio often stops working, both the old kernel and the new kernel, but this didn't appear in blissos15...

Everything seems to work except audio.

I have detected very faint sound with vol on max using headphones.

Tried a suggested volume booster app but didn't work.

Also I have linux installed on same machine, I can mount the BlissOS system image as root and make changes, could this way work to make changes to the system image i.e. to fix my issue?

I have but it's not that clear some of the links are broken like the one one how to mount system r/w, and the link on how low volume was fixed on some other x86 distributions.

edit: is it poss to install viper4andorid where I could use that or similar to increase audio gain! Totally new to this, not sure what's possible with kernelSU as I've never used that either, just magisk.

Shot in the dark question - I have an ancient Lenovo ThinkPad 8 tablet that came with Windows 8 (from 2013 I think). It's got 4 gb ram with a 1.46GHz Intel Atom Z3770 quad-core CPU. I was thinking it should be good enough to run android. Does anyone have a suggestion on which version of Bliss Os I could try? Would it run 14 or 15 or should I try a much older version of Bliss? Thanks for any suggestions or advice in advance.
[Android Software Development] Savikate:
First of all thank You for porting android to pc.

Now, wtf have You done to the sound??

I used 15.8.4 or 6 for a year or more...of all the possible shortcomings of this software

none of them were sound related...ever.

I had 15.8.6 for a while....and despite being poorly optimized, it just worked.

Few days ago I found out that You guys have advanced/upgraded this software...so I downloaded

ver. 16 in hopes that this time around the optimization issues are going to be fixed(like constant thermothrotling) and voila....the sound is completely off. Not a single iteration in grub boot manager works with sound.

I then tried the 15.9. and it did manage to boot up with sound in tact...ONCE. But then same ****, no matter what I do,

I cant get it to work. (Btw. 15.9 does seem to go lighter on my dell tablet)

Alright..so I downloaded the 15.8.6 that You had on the cloud with the.9 version BUT the sound does not work either.

Well actually it does work, but only the first time I boot the system after the installation. After that I do a restart and the sound is gone.

I tried the sound issue thread`s solutions. None of them seem to work even a little. Although I am not the most proficient guy on the block

in terms of IT, but I did manage to get appropriate response from the terminal commands, as was described in the guide

Anyway it is really sad that thee sound is off...because this renders the software absolutely useless to me and I would like it to get fixed.

Right now I have tried 15.8.6 > 15.9 >16.9 on two different machines. The outcome is the same. Max frustration indeed...Now will resort to

installing the 14th version that I never tried and the ide of a downgrade from android 12 leaves a bad feeling in me, but I hope it works so that

I can use my certain application on it that REQUIRES sound to work.

Thank You
[Android Software Development] R3demax:
Greetings to all, I actually installed 15.9 on the FX8320e + Radeon RX 580, everything works cool and thanks to everyone who had a hand. But the question still remains - has anyone launched Warzone Mobile on Android X86, in particular on Bliss? Thanks for the reply;)
[Android Software Development] ezzony:
Yeah so when I was in the right frame of mind I went though some of those fixes but none worked. Alsamixer fixed the volume on the headphone jack but nothing on the main speaker.

So I upgrdted to 16x and everything works including sound. No issues at all. Installed it on the dual boot which was fairly easy to do thanks to a youtube vid on it. Preety cool to have a stable android/win dual boot!

edit: Anyone know how to change the trackpad scroll direction, it's the opposite to the way I like it.

Seems i can't boot into bliss android on a surface go 1.

using gapps version

using refind

p7 partition has latest of 15.x or 14.x in fat32 or ext4. tried a lot of ways and same results.

no ota dupe stuff.

booting in regular mode gets stuck the second time the blissos ascii art shows up. above that it says it found android x86 stuff on p7.

booting into debug mode and typing exit followed by return key succeeds.

Is there any way to find out more info while it gets stuck on the ascii art to troubleshoot? or is there a way to boot debug without requiring to type exit twice? want to use this in tablet mode without a keyboard attached. Thanks!
