BlissLabs is pleased to present to you
Bliss-OS for PCs

Based on Android
An Open Source OS, based on Android, that incorporates many customizations options and added security features. And it is available for just about any Chromebook, Windows/Linux PC or tablet released in the last 10 years


Our focus is to bring the Open Source community a quality OS that can run on all your devices as a daily driver, syncing your apps + settings + customizations across all platforms you run Bliss on.[/font]

Bliss-OS comes with a wide selection of customization options from around the Android community as well as unique options developed by our team. With so many options available, you’ll find it hard not to enjoy the Blissful experience.


Information:

We started out our project with Bliss-x86 back in KitKat, and our first public release was with Android Marshmallow. Since then, we have been working with Android-x86 Project as part of their team, providing access to our infrastructure like Slack, GSuite, build servers, and more. Together we explore the potential options and development futures of Android-x86 project and integrate those options into Bliss OS. The parts that are chosen to work well with Android-x86 project (non-ROM based AOSP) are adopted and merged into Android-x86 base source code. This gives our project(s) a little wiggle room to try some out of the box thinking, and that is what we focus on here for development.

Those that would like to learn along side us are welcome to join our socials and start working along side us. If you choose to make your contributions official, we do have a form to join BlissLabs. If you are a project that wants to help rally along side with us, we also have a Project Application you could fill out for BlissLabs. Checkout that website for more info.

Update on known issues

Chrome not working correctly - Please go to recents, and click the chrome icon, then click freeform. This will allow chrome to not close. A better solution is to download Brave browser from Play Store. The next update will include LOS's Jelly browser instead, since that's a small browser source we can add to the manifest.
Play Store sign-in not showing anything - Please open this window in freeform and resize until you can see what is presented on screen.

Hmmm, interesting. Maybe do it on a computer and send the link to your phone.
Correct. Since this is for PC's I figured only PC users would try it.
Android chrome, finger click that, no pop up android screen keyboard for type.
I could add an editable message box for people to enter the code. This would at least prompt the on-screen keyboards for tablets.
where i can type the secret code? no space, it can't type.
I can't find the type the secret code space.
I use js to just listen to all keystrokes on the page, kinda like the old konami code for video games. So whenever get the right code, it just triggers the action.

Edit: I added a textbox to that section of the website. This should help some cases a little. Still doesn't work from mobile devices though. Will likely remove the whole thing I'm a few more days

Edit2 - Updated with Bliss-Bot, and she's programmed to recognize mobile input too

Bliss OS 12.1 Alpha Updates - 2019-11-19
!! Please remember to not quote these update posts, or any of the OP's !!

We're back with some more Bliss goodness for you all. Made a few updates to google & OpenGapps permissions, as well as a bunch more updates for init, sleep states, etc. I am still not able to get a generic ARM compatibility library to work, I've tried Houdini two different ways now with no luck. Will keep plugging away at this though, because I don't want to restrict the native bridge abilities to just Intel CPU's. I'd like to find a more generic method for us all.

PLEASE NOTE I recommend everyone testing to also use this in Vulkan mode, as I am considering making it the default. This 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"

Builds being uploaded:
  • Bliss-v12.1--OFFICIAL-20191117-android_x86_64-201911171948_k-undefined_m-q_ld-q_dg-q_dh-q.iso

General Updates List:
  • Updated Styles and Wallpapers
  • Added sleep button to the power menu. Access it using Ctrl+Alt+Del or the three dot menu from Taskbar.
  • Bluetooth updates & fixes
  • Taskbar freeform launcher updates.
  • TinyALSA added to try and help fix the volume buttons not working on some devices
  • Added more boot support for nvme type SSD's
  • Some upstream updates from Android-x86 project's Pie-x86 branch
  • and much much more, check the changelog. (yeah, got that working this round too)

Known new issues:
  • AOSP Gesture navbar crashes. Just don't try to use it yet.
  • Sleep states aren't working right on many machines. Some can cause SystemUI to restart
  • Power buttons still don't work on a most machines.
  • Volume buttons might not affect media volume, use 3rd party EQ or volume control.

My first impressions using 12.1 on my SURFACE PRO 1 tablet.

It runs smoothly - I'm very impressed with it. That loading screen artwork is very cool.

- At the lockscreen a message pops up saying "ANDROID SYSTEM" "There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details"

- There are a lot of characters missing in text. For example, when I input the account name to my google account in Play Store some of the characters don't visually show up in the text input box - a blank space is there instead. The login still works though. Sometimes the missing characters glitch and show up for a second, then disappear again. Another example is when I'm browsing google search results with the built-in browser, some of the text on the search descriptions have blank space instead of characters. The text on the hyperlinks seems to be displayed correctly.

- The volume control hardware buttons do work, but the overall volume of the device is very low, even when turned up to maximum.

- Watching videos from within Firefox and the built-in internet browser does not work. It looks as though it's trying to load the video endlessly.

This is the first Bliss-OS release which allows files to be downloaded/stored onto my Surface Pro 1. The other release that worked with my Surface Pro 1 (Kernel 4.20) would not download/store files. This is the only other release (apart from Kernel 4.20) which works at all with my Surface Pro 1.
I'll let you know what else I encounter.

A couple more things I've noticed...

-The WIFI signal strength indicator always indicates there is zero WIFI strength, despite the WIFI working fine.

-The icons on the taskbar show through at the very bottom of the screen in one situation. Here's how to replicate the problem: open a game/app, then click the "windows" button on the Surface Pro, then go back into the game/app and the taskbar icons will show through slightly at the bottom of the screen.

-The volume (I mentioned in my previous post) is fine for installed apps, it seems to be low for only the internet browsers (built-in & Firefox).

    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/
    Edit: the actual issue was https://github.com/BlissRoms-x86/device_generic_common/pull/23#issuecomment-2034786629

    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!

    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?
    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...

    Bliss OS 12.2 Alpha Updates - 2019-12-28
    !! Please remember to not quote these update posts, or any of the OP's !!

    It's a little late for Christmas, but early for new years, so I have another update for all of you to test. Tons of updates that won't show up in the changelog, like a bunch for firmware and kernel drivers. As well as a bunch of silead touchscreen firmwares added to the mix. Thanks to a few upstream updates from Android-x86 project, we finally got Superuser added properly too (must be enabled from Developer Options in Settings), so that is also included, as well as a non-functioning switch in Settings for enabling Houdini (yeah, that's still broken). S3 sleep modes have also been tweaked a little to hopefully work better, just remember to use the Sleep option from the power menu now and not a third party app.

    Taskbar might need to be updated from Play Store for it to properly hide the nav bar, but things there are working great!!

    PLEASE NOTE I recommend everyone testing to also use this in Vulkan mode, as I am considering making it the default. This 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"

    General Updates List:
    • More fixes for sleep when using the power menu. Access it using Ctrl+Alt+Del or the three dot menu from Taskbar.
    • More updates to stagefright-plugins
    • Added more kernel modules for various wireless hardware
    • Some fixes for sound and volume on many devices
    • Some upstream updates from Android-x86 project's q-x86 branch
    • and much much more, check the changelog.

    Known new issues:
    • AOSP Gesture navbar might crash still
    • Sleep states aren't working right on a few machines. Some can cause SystemUI to restart
    • Power buttons still don't work on a most machines.
    • Volume buttons might not affect media volume, use 3rd party EQ or volume control.

    Bliss OS "Yantra" 12.3 Beta Release - 2020-02-23
    !! Please remember to not quote these update posts, or any of the OP's !!

    The Bliss devs have been working hard to bring you all some awesome updates, and I have also had some time to get quite a few things done for this project too, so we're bringing you another jam-packed update of Bliss OS 12.x. Some of the biggest highlights in this update are working mic, device admin, widevine video codecs, and we added a few titlebar buttons too (these will be submitted upstream to Android-x86 Project eventually). Make sure that you read the changelogs for all the juicy details, and hit the Thanks button if things are working better this round.

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

    Updates include:
    • New themes and theme updates
    • New fonts and font updates
    • Permissions updates for some Google apps
    • Look & Feel updates to Settings
    • Updates and fixes to dialer
    • Added Active Edge support for some devices
    • Added many new options to Blissify
    • Updates for a few LineageParts related features
    Added titlebar buttons for minimize and pip (picture in picture) mode
    • Much much more, see the changelogs

    Bugs fixed:
    • Microphone bugs are fixed
    • Sound bugs on many devices are fixed
    • Widevine is now working
    • native navbars and guesture navigation is now fixed
    • Flashlight notification fixes
    • Camera fixes (use Open-Camera)
    • Various fixes to SystemUI
    • Fixes for a few LineageParts related issues
    • Fixes in PerformanceManager

    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.

    Builds being uploaded:
    • Bliss-OS-Yantra-v12.3-android_x86_64-OFFICIAL-202002231104_k-k4.19.95-ax86-ga-rmi_m-19.3.3-ax86-q_ld-2.4.100-ax86-ma_dg-_dh-q10.0-x86_mg-_gms_cros-hd_cros-wv.iso
    • Will also be posting another build without the custom RMI fixes.

    Known new issues:
    • Sleep states aren't working right on a few machines. Some can cause SystemUI to restart
    • 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.
    • Touch/Mouse interaction might stop sometimes upon screen on or boot. To fix this, set Swipe as your lock method in Settings
    • 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.

    Bliss OS "Yantra" 12.2 Beta Release - 2020-02-05
    !! Please remember to not quote these update posts, or any of the OP's !!

    OK peeps, what we have here is a little departure from our last update. This update marks the start of Bliss OS - Yantra. What this will be is a separate version of Bliss OS with all the bells and whistles added. Where our last releases were mostly AOSP with a few Pixel related additions, the Yantra releases will include commits from many other Android ROM teams, like LOS, Paranoid Android, Omni, AICP, etc.
    These builds also remove some of the compatibility problems with non-x86 or universal apps we were seeing with the alphas. So for the time being, until ChromeOS updates to use Android 10 blobs, or there is an open-source solution for running Arm apps, you won't be able to run those types of apps. If you want your favorite game to work as intended on Bliss OS, then please complain to the game developer and ask them to release universal apks for their game.

    For troubleshooting, we also now have a way of specifying what hardware composer and gralloc source we want to use from Grub command line:
    HWC=xxx: Define DRM_HWComposer - options include drm, drm_minigbm, and intel.
    GRALLOC=xxx: Define DRM_Gralloc - options include gbm, minigbm, and intel.

    Difference between the builds:
    First one is using Android-x86's kernel-4.9 branch (based off kernel-4.19.95) without any changes. On this branch, some of my machines were having issues with the keyboard and touchpad, so for those devices that have troubles, we also have the second build, using the kernel branch, k4.19.80-ga-q, and this includes the removal of HID_RMI with the connections now defaulting to use HID_MULTITOUCH instead.

    UPDATE 02.07.20 - Two updated builds added to help get rid of ueventd issues.
    These builds have an updated kernel including all the commits to support chromebooks. The second build has the HID_RMI stuff added to the kernel so that some troublesome touchpads and synaptics touchscreens now work. These two builds also have some of the ARM compatibility libraries added back, so users can hopefully install a couple of the apps that were working fine before.

    PLEASE NOTE I recommend everyone testing to also use this in Vulkan mode, as I am considering making it the default. This 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"

    General Updates List:
    • Added more fixes for sleep. Sleep from power menu is currently missing. Access it using Ctrl+Alt+Del or the three dot menu from Taskbar.
    • Added sleep options like double-tap to sleep from statusbar or lockscreen

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