Wait this is not Android 🤔

Wishing everyone a joyful, vibrant, and prosperous Diwali, celebrating the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. ✨🪔✨

To users who are using Surface builds and trying to calibrate iptsd, we realized a mistake in our Documentation: the location to store configuration files should be /data/vendor/iptsd.d instead of /data/vendor/ipts.
We've fixed it in our Documentation
https://docs.blissos.org/configuration/calibrate-and-configure-iptsd/

Please update the directory name based on the new edit.

You have a Samsung Galaxy Book but audio is not working ? Here's what you can do to make sure it will have a chance to work in the next Zenith build and maybe future BlissOS builds.

First, install a linux distro with Kernel 6.11.3+. Recent rolling distro like Fedora or Arch Linux are already shipped with newer 6.11 kernel so you can use them.

Next, prepare a file in /etc/modprobe.d, something like /etc/modprobe.d/samsung-audio.conf. In that file, add this code

options snd-hda-intel model=<samsung_options>

Replace <samsung_options> with one of these
alc298-samsung-amp
alc298-samsung-amp-v2-2-amps
alc298-samsung-amp-v2-4-amps

Save and reboot to test. If one of the three options works, that mean audio will work on the next build of BlissOS too. In the future, you still have to create the same config file. However, you can help us bringing your model to patch_realtek.c by giving some info about the laptop & the option that made your audio work.

Suprisingly, vmwgfx is now working on BlissOS. And it's all thanks to a project that we did not expect

We have also provided support for another tablet featuring a Silead touchscreen.

Here's the SARY Tab 3. The kernel patch and firmware are currently awaiting integration:

Important Announcement: BlissOS Source Lockdown

Effective immediately, all BlissOS source code will be in lockdown. Ongoing internal changes are being made, and these updates have not yet been pushed to the repository. We strongly advise anyone currently syncing or planning to sync to halt the process immediately.

Please note that we will not be able to provide assistance to anyone attempting to build BlissOS during this period. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

Team Bliss wishes you a Merry Christmas!
🎅🏻🎄🎁

Call for Contributors: Help Shape BlissOS Vanilla Builds!

As BlissOS transitions toward Vanilla builds, we’re seeking skilled contributors experienced in bash scripting and/or creating flashable zips for custom recoveries or KernelSU (KSU) / Magisk modules.

If you got the skill and is interested in making one for the upcoming BlissOS updates, we’d love your help in developing modular or flashable zips for proprietary components like GApps, DRM libraries, ARM translators, or other enhancements you believe would benefit the community.

What we offer:
- Access to our current development resources for testing your work.
- Collaboration to verify and officially recommend your contributions in our documentation. (If requested)
- Visibility as a trusted resource for BlissOS users. (If requested)

Interested? Reach out to @hmtheboy154 to discuss your ideas and get started!

Note: We are NOT currently accepting requests solely for testing BlissOS builds.

Just saw this on our SourceForge, and we forgot to put on a warning

Please do not sharing our SourceForge link, like.... just don't. Share our website instead. We've seen some people shared our SF on many different forums and ended up causing some confusion to newcomers:
- They download OTA zips instead of iso images (like this guy) .
- They don't know which Android version they are downloading.
- They don't know which variant (Gapps/FOSS) means.
- The green Download button & Project Activity made people mistakenly thought that the builds that we uploaded are latest which is an issue because for example if we build BlissOS 14 last, people will think that it's the only latest version we are providing right now.

Our website not only direct to the correct place to download the iso, but also have explanation for version number & variants. So please, share our website, not our SourceForge !

Hello BlissRoms enthusiasts,

After some careful planning and observation, we have finally made the decision to go vanilla entirely with no GApps being bundled from source. Users are allowed to flash their own set of GApps from popular vendors like MindTheGapps, NikGapps, BitGapps etc.

This decision was made due to the fact that repo sizes for hosting GApps has become a pain after Android 15 where our current GApps cross 9 Gigs (9.8 Gigs to be precise) and no free publicly used services with good bandwidth would allow anything higher unless we pay them for memberships, so considering that we decided to go vanilla and with this user's always have the flexibility to flash their own gapps and their corresponding add-ons from the respective vendors as well.

P.S. QPR2 has already been booted and we are in the works of getting it to you guys soon...

Happy Flashing!

Stay Blissful!
