Introduction
iodéOS is a privacy-focused operating system powered by LineageOS and based on the Android mobile platform. iodéOS aims at protecting the user's privacy with a built-in adblocker and by freeing the smartphone from snitches.
The objectives in the conception of this ROM are threefold:
To keep the stability and security level of LineageOS, by minimizing the modifications made to the system. Apart the system modifications required by the adblocker, we mainly only added a few useful options commonly found in other custom ROMs, made some cosmetic changes, modified a few default settings to prevent data leaks to Google servers.
To ease a quick adoption of this ROM by new users. We especially target users that are concerned by the protection of their privacy, but are not reluctant to still use inquisitive apps like Google ones. We thus included MicroG as well as a coherent set of default apps, and simplified the initial setup of the system. Particularly, an initialization of MicroG has been made with GCM notifications allowed by default, a privacy-friendly network location provider (DéjàVu) pre-selected, as well as Nominatim Geocoder.
To provide a new and powerful way of blocking ads, malwares, data leaks of all kinds to many intrusive servers. We are developing an analyzer, tightly integrated into the system, that captures all DNS requests and network traffic, as well as a user interface (the iodé app). Compared to some other well-known adblockers, this has the advantages of:
Avoiding to lock the VPN for that use. You can even use another adblocker that uses VPN technology alongside our blocker.
Being independent of the kind of DNS server used by the system or set by an independent app: classical DNS on UDP port 53 or any other one, DNS over TLS (DoT), DNS over HTTPS (DoH), ..., as we capture the DNS requests before they are transmitted to the system function that emits the DNS request. What we do not support, is DoH when it is natively built into applications, i.e. when an app communicates directly with a DoH server, without asking name resolution to the system. It would require to decrypt HTTPS packets between such an app and the DoH server, which may create a big security hole.
Precisely mapping DNS requests and network packets to the Android apps that emitted (or received) them.
Deciding which apps have a filtered network usage (by default, all apps), and which ones can communicate with blacklisted servers.
Since its first versions, we added many features to the iodé blocker: several levels of protection, fine-grained control over the hosts that should be blocked or authorized, displaying statistics on a map to see the quantity of data exchanged to which countries, clearing statistics... We are actively developing the blocker, and new functionalities will be regularly added.
Features
Changes in LineageOS to prevent data leaks:
Default DNS server: Google's DNS replaced by Quad9's 'unblocked' servers in all parts of the system.
A-GPS: patches to avoid leaking personnal information like IMSI to supl server.
Captive portal login: connectivitycheck.gstatic.com replaced by captiveportal.kuketz.de for connectivity check.
Dialer: Google default option replaced by OpenStreetMap for phone number lookup.
Pre-installed apps:
We included many useful default apps, but our choice cannot suit everyone; so we added the possibility to remove them. It can be done at the end of the phone setup, or at any time by going to Parameters -> Apps & Notifications -> Preinstalled apps.
MicroG core apps: GmsCore, GsfProxy, FakeStore.
NLP backends for MicroG : DejaVuNLPBackend (default), MozillaNLPBackend, AppleNLPBackend, RadioCellsNLPBackend, Nominatim Geocoder.
App stores : FDroid (with F-Droid Privileged Extension) and Aurora Store.
Browser: our own fork of Firefox (with Qwant as default search engine, many other ones added, telemetry disabled, parts of telemetry code removed) instead of Lineage’s default browser Jelly.
SMS: QKSMS instead of Lineage's default SMS app.
Email: p≡p (Pretty Easy Privacy).
Camera: our own fork of Open Camera, with a few tweaks.
Maps/navigation: Magic Earth GPS & Navigation (the only one free but not open source).
Keyboard: OpenBoard instead of AOSP keyboard.
PDF: Pdf Viewer Plus.
Personnal notes: Carnet.
{Ad/Malware/Data leak}-blocker: iodé.
News: to keep users informed about our developments, as well as a FAQ.
Meteo: Geometric Weather.
Pre-included FDroid repository:
The apps that we tweak or develop (microG services, the browser based on Firefox, the News app, Open Camera ...) are available through a repository that we included in FDroid (check the "Apps for iodéOS" category). For this purpose and to avoid name conflicts of some apps, we also had to make a few changes in FDroid.
Useful options from other custom ROMs:
Smart charging (disables charging when a given level is reached, to protect battery health).
Fingerprint vibration toggle.
Swipe down to clear all in recent apps (Android 10 only).

FDroid: fixes an issue on apps update
LineageOS synchronized with March security patch included
All apps updated
07/02/2023 (build 20230131) for Note 10 (d1) and Note 10+ (d2s):
Blocker:
Improved blocking settings. You can now choose 'Standard' blocking (ads, trackers, malwares, etc) or 'Reinforced' blocking (same objective but more extensive), and then select additional categories.
The 'Porn' category has been extended to a wider 'Sensitive content' one, that also includes fake news, gambling, drugs, piracy, torrent..., with mainly child protection in mind.
The 'Extreme' category has been removed, as it is now part of the reinforced blocking.
Improved blocking lists. We merge several acknowledged and up-to-date sources, and have diversified our sources to produce more complete lists. The standard list has however been reduced a bit, to avoid as much as possible interference with apps expected behavior.
Added a new network location provider: Local NLP Backend. It is an improved version of the DéjàVu NLP backend which was already available in iodéOS. Like DéjàVu, it builds a local database connecting localizations learned from other NLP backends and apps using GPS, and mobile antennas/Wifi; but also has an active mode (not preselected) that can trigger GPS requests. To configure it: Settings -> System -> microG -> Location modules

+++ New Update : 10/09/2021 +++
Available as OTA (see OP)
does the flash support galaxy note 10 lite ?
Looks nice, but I'm looking for an OS that does the following:
1. Dual status bar
2. Google Pay works
3. Bixby removed
4. Without going to Play Store, block calls and texts from Contact List. I use Signal Private Messenger Apps. In other words, stop calls and texts and notifications, and possibly return a text saying the sender is blocked.
I know #4 is a tall order, but I would like 1, 2, and 3.

*** New Update : 18/11/2021 ***
Available as OTA (see OP)
I went ahead and tried this on mine N970f/DS. After some help for a rookie like me, I was able to get the bootloader unlocked and flash the recovery. When it came time to sideload the zip, I ran the following from my laptop (Linux Mint):
[computer name redacted] ~/Documents/roms $ adb sideload iode-2.2-20211108-d1.zip
serving: 'iode-2.2-20211108-d1.zip' (~47%) adb: failed to read command: Success
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The flash apparently failed and I got this is the screen I got on my phone (see attached). Afterwards, my phone went into a boot loop. I tried wiping the cache and sideloading again, with no luck. I tried re-downloading the zip, same result. I am still able to access download mode, so returning to stock is still an option.
What am I missing?

This happens often with Google accounts too when you change the rom: your new connection is detected
curious, how does the s-pen / stylus work with an AOSP like rom?
Hi everyone, glad to see that privacy-oriented distros are growing...
...it would be great if those projects establish some kind of collaboration in order to spread privacy on more and more devices (not phones only):

Hi @vince31fr and thank you for this good news.
I just install your Os, what is the difference between your privacy tool and a trackerControl or Netguard app ?
Is there a way to block all by default on your privacy tool and allow one by one ? (i used to do that with tracker Control on /e/ os).
Thanks.

Being independent of the kind of DNS server used by the system or set by an independent app: classical DNS on UDP port 53 or any other one, DNS over TLS (DoT), DNS over HTTPS (DoH), ..., as we capture the DNS requests before they are transmitted to the system function that emits the DNS request. What we do not support, is DoH when it is natively built into applications, i.e. when an app communicates directly with a DoH server, without asking name resolution to the system. It would require to decrypt HTTPS packets between such an app and the DoH server, which may create a big security hole.
Precisely mapping DNS requests and network packets to the Android apps that emitted (or received) them.
Deciding which apps have a filtered network usage (by default, all apps), and which ones can communicate with blacklisted servers.
Since its first versions, we added many features to the iodé blocker: several levels of protection, fine-grained control over the hosts that should be blocked or authorized, displaying statistics on a map to see the quantity of data exchanged to which countries, clearing statistics... We are actively developing the blocker, and new functionalities will be regularly added.
Features
Changes in LineageOS to prevent data leaks:
Default DNS server: Google's DNS replaced by Quad9's 'unblocked' servers in all parts of the system.
A-GPS: patches to avoid leaking personnal information like IMSI to supl server.
Captive portal login: connectivitycheck.gstatic.com replaced by captiveportal.kuketz.de for connectivity check.
Dialer: Google default option replaced by OpenStreetMap for phone number lookup.
Pre-installed apps:
We included many useful default apps, but our choice cannot suit everyone; so we added the possibility to remove them. It can be done at the end of the phone setup, or at any time by going to Parameters -> Apps & Notifications -> Preinstalled apps.
MicroG core apps: GmsCore, GsfProxy, FakeStore.
NLP backends for MicroG : DejaVuNLPBackend (default), MozillaNLPBackend, AppleNLPBackend, RadioCellsNLPBackend, Nominatim Geocoder.
App stores : FDroid (with F-Droid Privileged Extension) and Aurora Store.
Browser: our own fork of Firefox (with Qwant as default search engine, many other ones added, telemetry disabled, parts of telemetry code removed) instead of Lineage’s default browser Jelly.
SMS: QKSMS instead of Lineage's default SMS app.
Email: p≡p (Pretty Easy Privacy).
Camera: our own fork of Open Camera, with a few tweaks.
Maps/navigation: Magic Earth GPS & Navigation (the only one free but not open source).
Keyboard: OpenBoard instead of AOSP keyboard.
PDF: Pdf Viewer Plus.
Personnal notes: Carnet.
{Ad/Malware/Data leak}-blocker: iodé.
News: to keep users informed about our developments, as well as a FAQ.
Meteo: Geometric Weather.
Pre-included FDroid repository:
The apps that we tweak or develop (microG services, the browser based on Firefox, the News app, Open Camera ...) are available through a repository that we included in FDroid (check the "Apps for iodéOS" category). For this purpose and to avoid name conflicts of some apps, we also had to make a few changes in FDroid.
Useful options from other custom ROMs:
Smart charging (disables charging when a given level is reached, to protect battery health).
Fingerprint vibration toggle.
Swipe down to clear all in recent apps (Android 10 only).

Very nice MOD, it is stable and fast... it has high compatibility with Open Camera and the store inside IodeOS I liked it a lot.

Hi @vince31fr and thank you for this good news.
I just install your Os, what is the difference between your privacy tool and a trackerControl or Netguard app ?
Is there a way to block all by default on your privacy tool and allow one by one ? (i used to do that with tracker Control on /e/ os).
Thanks.

One of the main difference is that the VPN connection is not used by the iodé blocker, so you can use any external VPN provider you want. We also provide the wireguard kernel module.
Another difference is that it is integrated into the system, so there's no need to root the phone for that purpose.
By default, all blacklisted hosts are blocked. You can then have a fine-grained control over the hosts you want to block/unblock.

EDIT : Ok i have found my answers and opened a issue ticket for ungoogled chromium.
@vince31fr
I am using this for almost two weeks now, everything works great. Thank you a lot.
But I would like to pass SafetyNet, might there be official support for this in the future?
And what would be the best/easiest way for me to get it working? Do I need to root the device to install microg droidguard or are there any other ways?

Thank you for this Magisk module. However, the ultrawide camera does not work as intended: I can see the picture from this lens, but the camera does not take or save pictures. After I press the shutter button, nothing happens.

There are some problems indeed. I removed the module, not usable yet.

I did not concentrate on passing safetynet yet, maybe later. Don't hesitate to share your findings here if you find a working method ;-) There are some magisk modules that could be tried, ...
I didn't know iodé at all - until now... Wow, what a nice ROM! I really love the approach iodé is taking...
Thank you
Just a quick question: will there be OTA updates for this beta release?
I wanted to give the promising looking iodé a try but installation fails repeatedly with
Code:
E: Signature verifcation failed
E: error 21
Install from ADB completed with status 2.
Installation aborted.
I tried both the "permissive" recovery posted here earlier AND the iode-2.3-20220126-FP4-recovery.img from https://github.com/iodeOS/ota/releases/tag/v2-FP4
I also checked the SHA256s
In recovery, I went to "Apply update from ADB", then
Code:
adb sideload iode-2.3-20220126-FP4.zip
As expected, adb finishes sideload at 47%.
With no other recoveries or iodé builds available, I am currently at the end of the road. Do you have any ideas for me?

silly me ... on close inspection: I was in stock recovery. a PROPER REBOOT TO RECOVERY switched me into LOS recovery and the install went fine right away.
As weird of a question as this is (since I'm asking about GAPPS on an intentionally no-GAPPS ROM) is anyone able to get this ROM working with Android Auto using this method?
microG + Android Auto fully working
This is how you can use Android Auto with microG and connect your phone with your car. Prerequisites: Android 10+ Newest microG core (https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/releases) A custom recovery to flash a zip file Let's begin: For Android...
forum.xda-developers.com
I admittedly need this for daily driving and am worried about not being able to roll back to stock
Edit: Also, how's battery life compared to stock?
@vince31fr @iodeOS
Great work! I'm looking forward to try the ROM when my FP4 arrives later this week.
It appears that the link to the device tree is dead: https://gitlab.com/iode/os/devices/fairphone/device_fairphone_FP4
Can you push it to Gitlab or is it intentionally not published yet?
Maybe some of your improvements could also be helpful to create a native LineageOS rom for the FP4.

Effectively we forgot to make this repo public, thanks for pointing this out. We did not make substantial improvements to the original dt (http://github.com/WeAreFairphone/android_device_fairphone_FP4, based on https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/devices/android_device_fairphone_FP4), but LineageOS should build fine.
Is there or will there be an Android 12 version of this being released?
