BlissRoms v19.1 — Elevating Custom Android with Android 16

We are proud to announce the release of BlissRoms v19.1, the first build based on Android 16, bringing a refined balance of performance, user experience, and deep customization — all powered by the stability of LineageOS at its core.

This marks the initial Android 16 release from BlissRoms, laying the foundation for future improvements while staying true to our goal: delivering a feature-rich yet reliable Android experience for every user.

What’s New in v19.1

1. Android 16 Foundation

• Full integration of Android 16 (Baklava) upstream changes, ensuring compatibility with the latest apps and APIs.
• Framework optimizations that enable new Android 16 features while preserving BlissRoms’ signature custom options.
• Built on the trusted LineageOS base, ensuring proven reliability and broad device support.

2. Enhanced Customization & UI Polishing

• Expanded Blissify modules (themes, accent controls, system styling) with improved performance and flexibility.
• More granular control over Quick Settings, system fonts, and status bar layouts.

3. Security & Privacy Upgrades

• Integrated the latest Android 16 security patches even though QPR1 is not available.
• Fixed privacy indicator issues (camera, mic) for consistent feedback.
• Extended component toggles (e.g., sensors, system services) within Blissify.

4. Stability, Bug Fixes & Polish

• Addressed numerous SystemUI, Settings, and notification bugs.
• Enhanced logging and diagnostic tools for maintainers.
• Cleaned up legacy components to reduce bloat and improve maintainability.

Wait… Where Did 19.0 Go?

You might be wondering — what happened to BlissRoms v19.0?

Well, it existed, but never made it out of the lab.
Due to a large number of unresolved bugs and a tight development timeline, the team decided to skip straight to v19.1 — a more stable, refined release built with the lessons learned from 19.0’s challenges.

Think of 19.1 as the polished version of what 19.0 aspired to be — better late, and far more Blissful!

What to Expect (and What’s Next)

Expect a stable and responsive daily driver with enhanced theming options and a consistent privacy model.
While this is an initial Android 16 release, micro-updates will follow soon to refine the experience even further.

Upcoming focus areas:

• Deeper Blissify customization and UI enhancements
• More device maintainers and broader hardware support
• Faster OTA patch delivery and improved build system automation

Summary

BlissRoms v19.1 is a milestone release — combining the fresh capabilities of Android 16, the robustness of LineageOS, and the distinctive BlissRoms flair for customization and stability.
