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!

told you guys that going full Vanilla is a good idea

With the EOL for Windows 10, a ton of PCs are heading to the dumpster. https://www.tomshardware.com/software/operating-systems/linux-or-landfill-end-of-windows-10-leaves-pc-charities-with-tough-choice

We just want you all to know that this is one of the reasons our project (Bliss OS) exists, so if you happen to know any PC charities, please help spread the word about our project or share our website to them (blissos.org)

Thank you all

Important Announcement: BlissOS is now in lockdown!

Hello everyone,

This is an important announcement regarding the current status of the BlissOS project. We are officially placing the project under a temporary lockdown, effective immediately.

This lockdown means that all of our community chat platforms, including Matrix, Telegram, and Discord, will be locked. Furthermore, all BlissOS websites will be put under construction.

During this period, we strongly advise against downloading and installing BlissOS. The current versions will be incompatible with a newer base that we are preparing to deploy. This means that users on the current builds will not be able to perform OTA (Over-the-Air) or manual updates to the new system. A complete reinstallation from scratch will be required.

To prepare for the upcoming migration, we highly recommend all current users to back up their data. A great tool for this is Neo Backup, which you can find here. Taking the time to back up your applications and data now will ensure a smoother transition once the new version of BlissOS is released.

At this time, we cannot provide an estimated time of arrival (ETA) for when we will lift the lockdown. We will be posting further updates on the situation in the announcement channels of our chat platforms. Please keep an eye on those for the latest information.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we are incredibly grateful for your continued support and understanding.

The road to completion still takes a thousand miles.... But hey, at least we can have a blog post to report about what we've achieved so far:
