# BlissOS

Download the BlissOS source code, based on AOSP & Android-x86

Modified for PC build using Android-Generic Project

Please read the AOSP building instructions before proceeding.

# What you need to build BlissOS 

Ubuntu LTS Release (NOT 24.04 as libncurses5 cannot be installed) https://www.ubuntu.com/download/server
Decent CPU (16 Cores or better for a faster performance)
16GB RAM (32GB for Virtual Machine)
350GB Hard Drive (about 170GB for the Repo and then building space needed)

Time to compile:
Laptop: 6-8 hours
Desktop/Workstation: 4-6 hours
Server: 1-2 hours

# Grabbing Dependencies

# Initializing Repository

Repo initialization

repo init -u https://github.com/BlissRoms-x86/manifest.git -b arcadia-x86 --git-lfs

Sync repo

repo sync -c --force-sync --no-tags --no-clone-bundle -j$(nproc --all) --optimized-fetch --prune

# Options 

BLISS_BUILD_VARIANT - (vanilla, gapps, foss) - We currently use this to specify what type of extra apps and services to include in the build.

Note: Default BLISS_BUILD_VARIANT is VANILLA.

BLISS_SPECIAL_VARIANT - This can be custom set if you wanna build a version for a specific device for example -jupiter for Steam Deck or -surface for Microsoft Surface series

# Setup FOSS apps (if you choose to build FOSS)

  • If you want to build with FOSS (this will include microG Services & some extra apps), go to vendor/foss and then type
    ./update.sh

And then choose 1 (x86/x86_64) to fetch all the apps. If you want to include Bromite Webview in, type this instead

    ./update.sh "" bromite

# Building 

$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ export BLISS_BUILD_VARIANT=foss
$ lunch bliss_x86_64-userdebug
$ make blissify iso_img -j23

Adding build options

Before running lunch, you can add variables into the build to integrate more stuff into the image. Note that you can put different variables into the build.

  • To build with FOSS
    export BLISS_BUILD_VARIANT=foss
    export BLISS_BUILD_VARIANT=gapps
  • To add a custom label into a device-specific build
    export BLISS_SPECIAL_VARIANT=-Jupiter
  • To build the special "surface" variant which include kernel with patches from linux-surface and the iptsd userspace touchscreen daemon
    export BOARD_IS_SURFACE_BUILD=true
  • To build the special "go" variant for BlissOS Go
    export BOARD_IS_GO_BUILD=true

More build options will be in Extras part including proprietary native-bridge/widevine libraries

# Extras

We do offer some extra libraries that can be compiled into the build. These include :

Prebuilt Widevine from Windows Subsystem for Android

https://github.com/supremegamers/vendor_google_proprietary_widevine-prebuilt

Clone to vendor/google/proprietary/widevine-prebuilt, The variable to activate this is USE_WIDEVINE=true

Windows Subsystem for Android's libhoudini

https://github.com/supremegamers/vendor_intel_proprietary_houdini

Clone to vendor/intel/proprietary/houdini, The variable to activate this is ANDROID_USE_INTEL_HOUDINI=true
