Bliss OS "Yantra" 12.5 Release Client 2 - 2020-03-24

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

Been busy with a ton of updates, including upstream AOSP updates and Bliss updates. Largest update is likely the Kernel-5.6rc6 kernel in one of the uploaded builds. The other is inclusion of experimental IPTS kernel modules (for Surface devices and X1 tablet) in both builds. Some bad news, Microphone bugs are back again... but that's about it.

!!PLEASE NOTE!! The builds that use Kernel-5.2+ are lo longer compatible with the AUTO_LOAD=old kernel command line option. If you are using this option to boot, then you will not be able to. It will bootloop.

Here's a short list of some of those updates.

Updates include:

* March security update

* fixed slow app opening speeds

* fixed default dialer call screen issue

* new panels for qs wifi and nfc

* disable bt by default on first boot

* long swipe back gesture to take screenshot ( found in blissify > buttons> long swipe actions)

note : this is for gestural navigation)

* clean up screenshot api (some fixes to partial ss)

* Can now disable long press torch when screen is on

* Back gesture haptic feedback , found in reuglar settings> gestures> settings button for gesture navigation

* Added gesture pill width adjusting found in same place as above ^

* Added more charging animations, ex : battery, drop, water,explosion found in blissify> lockscreen> lockscreen charging animation

* Added RGB Accenter and removed accent overlays , found in blissify > themes

* added navbar key action to take screenshot

* Lot of art optimisations

Bugs fixed:

• Power/Sleep Issues on some devices

• Fixes for freeform windows (introduced in AOSP r31)

• Surface IPTS driver modules included

• lots of kernel driver and firmware updates

PLEASE NOTE I recommend everyone testing to also use this in Vulkan mode or boot using gbm_gralloc, as I am considering making it the default. Vulkan mode can be done from the Advanced grub menu if you installed using the bootable installer, or if you used a different grub, you will want to add "VULKAN=1" to the grub entry before the word "quiet". If your device doesn't support Vulkan, you can add "GRALLOC=gbm" to the same place in your grub entry. Sleep states should work fine after that.

Might also post another build without the custom RMI fixes if users report issues with it.

Known new issues:

Microphone issues are back... FML

Sleep states aren't working right on a few machines. Some can cause SystemUI to restart. Still requires Vulkan

Power buttons still don't work on a most machines. You can now set Volume buttons to wake the device from Settings > Blissify. Sometimes Power button may work to wake the device.

Sensor input is still not working, so rotation will have to be set manually

Some machines still have volume/sound issues, use 3rd party EQ or volume control.

Download:

You still have to go through our website to download. The download section for Bliss OS 12 Betas has been updated.
